The Single Tax 



Editor of The Canadian Horticulturist: I 

 would like to congratulate you on having a 

 special fruit edition. This feature should 

 prove very satisfactory to fruit men. The 

 matter of public markets will, I think, bear 

 some airing. This brings to mind that I 

 have several times noted your remarks on 

 the exce.ssive charges of retailers and the 

 fix they are in from high rents or land 

 values. You seem to offer only single tax 

 as a solution. I do not pretend to be a 

 judge on the correctness of this. I'm no 

 authority on single tax. I have this to say 

 though, that considering the .=!low rate of 

 progress of the single tax idea, if the fruit 

 grower has to wait till the public is educat- 

 ed to elect single tax members to enact 

 single tax laws, to give single tax a trial 

 whether it will better his lot — why he has 

 a long wait ahead. Other productions seem 

 to be handled through present channels of 

 trade, and sold through retail stores and 

 living, but not excessive, prices obtained. I 

 Icnow that fruit is a particularly perishable 

 line of goods and there must necessarily be 

 more margin between the price the pro- 

 ducer gets and what the consumer pays 

 than in some more easilv handled lines, and 

 probably the buyer of fruit has a duty to 

 pe'-form in patronizing co-operative effort, 

 public markets, etc., in order to do away as 

 much as possible with a superfluity of mid- 

 dlemen. 



Just think it over and see whether, if you 

 \%"ere a fruit grower, or a buyer merely, you 

 would see much to cheer you in having to 

 wait till the single tax idea gained ascend- 

 ancy, when your position might be benefited. 

 I say might because everyone is not evi- 

 dently of the opinion that shifting a large 

 portion of taxes on to land value? is a sure
