Single Tax Promise to Lift Labor and Lower Rent
The text argues for a single tax to raise wages by freeing land for use, reduce rents by expanding land supply, and spur home building through tax exemptions.

It cites New York rent strikes and public works near a Swift packing plant as context. It discusses city block values and tax distributions among land, railroads, farms, and timber.
