The Single Tax and a Western Trade Drift
A Everett Washington resident considers building in Vancouver to escape property and improvement taxes, noting Vancouver and other western Canadian towns tax neither personal property nor structures. He argues Canadian investment draws American capital and workers away, urging reform of local taxation to favor domestic development. The letter ends with a facetious moral about misers and bad habits from a Providence reader, plus a short quip about a dying merchant and a jokey exchange on card games.
