Description |
Letter to the editor of the Fairhope Courier from Anne B. Call. (There is a tally of a vote dated 1/23/1906 on the back of one of the pages of the letter so presumably the letter was written at this time approximately). The letter is in response to a criticism of a letter written by her father, James Bellangee, by the editor, E. B. Gaston. The subject is the method of taxation for public services. Mrs. Call cites passages from Progress and Poverty by Henry George. She thinks that the Single Tax should be applied strongly and that public services should be paid for by obtaining the full rental of land rather than with a seperate charge for services. She thinks rents should be raised to put in the waterworks. |
