295^.
i88 SINGLE TAX MOVEMENT industries, and citing concrete cases where this was alleged to have taken place.^* "If we stop taxing factories, more factories will come and those now here will grow." Appeal to direct personal advantages was prominent, single taxers using such slogans as "95% of Seattle homes will pay less taxes under Amendment No. 2," and "30,000 homes will pay less". A widely circulated leaflet stated that "the Erickson Amendment will shift taxes from residence prop- erty to b
...usiness property", a statement not exactly con- sistent with the argument that the measure would be a boon to business. The single taxers made much of land speculation, stating that "in Seattle seven lots out of every nine are vacant". They used telling statistics of the in- crease in Seattle's land values.
Canadian prosperity as an object lesson of the benefits of a policy of exempting improvements from taxation played an important part in this as in other recent single tax campaigns. The single taxers urged that if Portland should adopt "municipal single tax" as had Vancouver, prospective factory-builders and home-seekers would find irresistible the attractions of Seattle's building-exempting rivals, and her charms would exert their lure in vain.^^ The Seattle press was almost solidly hostile to the amend- ments.
