No ab taxer ever pro posed or sanctioned this. On the contrary, in chapter 2 of book 8 of “Progress and y” Mr. George argnes powerfully against both of these suggestions. Mr. Shields asserts that the Single Tax would not reduce rents nor stimulate buildin, The old university tract shows the effect of freeing buildings from taxes. The magnificent buildings built there in hard times were bullt because they Bay no taxes. sAnd they have re- duced rents. But it is not fair, just nor right to exempt these bulldings while taxing al! others, The Kriek- gon amendment would extend this exemption to every home, factory and building in Seattle. All would be treated alike. Under the Single Tax, Vancou- ver and Victoria have made tre mendous advances and no one there would go back to the old system. Victoria adopted it by @ vote of five to one in January, 1911, after Watching the effects in Vancouver carefully for @ year. The effect was to at once stimulate building and all other business. In Novem her, 1911, building permits were aearly six times what they were in November, 1910, and they were nearty 50 per cent greater than Se. attle’s for that month, though Se- attle has at least six times the pop- ulation. Mr, Shields says the Single Tax would not help the poor. ‘Why then is every monopolist and every special privilege interest fighting it? The truth is poverty f* due to land monopoly, and the Port Com- mission has shown how our dogs im the manger are driving factories. business and terminals away until their greed actually threatens to. destroy our city. The Erickson amendment is the best way to break their strangle hold on Seattle and bring payrolls ond smokestacks here, The two questions that confront us today are, SHALL SEATTLE LIVE? and SHALL SEATTLE GROW?
