WELLINGTON SINGLE TAX LEAGUE
(Per United Preea AeaociatioaV
WELLINGTON, September 20. The Single Tax League discussed the land question, and resolved that no proposals dealing with country lands exclusively are adequate, since they cannot touch the evils of land speculation and excessive rents, which are a menace to the city workers; that the League regards the Land Bill as a tacit admission that the system of State purchase of land for settlement is a failure; that the League is opposed to all schemes of State purchase and limitation of either area or value of individual holdings; that the League reaffirms the principle of taxing land values as the one satisfactory method of destroying land speculation, and compelling the utilisation of land and at the same time securing the abolition of direct taxation on the necessaries of life.
