Tom Johnson in Tremont Temple Advocates Single Tax
The crowd of several thousand heard Tom Johnson of Ohio and Thomas G. Shearman outline the single tax theory at Tremont Temple. They argued taxes should fall on land value, not personal property, with landlords bearing the levy and rents flowing to the landlord. Johnson cited McKinley and discussed income taxes, liberty, and reform, while Shearman attacked inflationary finance and praised tax abolition on personal property.
