1900
- Quote: "In its appearance before the
Ontario Assessment Commission in 1900, the Single Tax Association
argued that taxing improvements makes it harder for poor people to
live in good houses and also lessens employment. The Association
also provided a logic which reaffirmed the need to limit the tax
base to land: 'To adopt the site value method of taxation is to
invite general prosperity. With personal property exempt, its
increasd consumption would increase the demand for it and
consequently multiply business opportunities in connection with
making, carrying and selling it. With landed improvements also
exempt, larger and better homes would be demanded to the stimulation
of all brances of the building industry. With vacant lots taxed the
same as if improved, and so much that it would be unprofitable to
hold them out of use, speculative values would decline and business
would be no longer obstructed by exorbitant prices for location.'"

carry! I feel sure that if a strong campaign were put up, after your
