The single tax would raise wages by opening up land so the people could employ themselves and there by relieve the labor market. The single tax would reduce rent by bringing more land into use for homes, and encourage building of houses by exempting them from taxation. The single tax would break up land monopoly and give the man who works with his hand a chance to have a home of his own. The single tax would give wealth to him who works, to him who makes wealth, instead of the land lord who takes all the wealth that labor makes. The men who labor with their hands have made all the land values of Portland and everything else worth having, and what have they to show for all their labor? Suppose all the men who own no land were to leave Portland, what would the laud then be worth to its owners? Who will get the ben efits from the building of the great Swift packing plant? Will it not be the land owners who have now advanced the price of lots near the site too percent in expectation that many men who work with their hands will need this land to live on, and raise their children? The single tax would make this laud cheap to the man who wanted to make tise of it, and the sordid laud speculator could not well al- Eighteen Bills to Vote On Up to date we have been able to gather the following list of bills to be voted on in June.
