"All the beautiful thoughts spoken at the chapel about Mr. Kuehn were the ones I wanted to say but could not. His acquaintance was to me like the jobs of a prolonged June day, so warm, so tranquil and withal so enlightening and gentle. I am more nearly broken hearted over the loss than I've ever been. I cannot but mourn."

"I believe in free trade and I believe in the idea of Single Tax. Yet I am neither a free trader nor a Single Taxer. I don't think any single generation should be called upon to undo the work of many generations. Some changes are best made gradually. As I look at it we may believe in what ought to be, and use that as a port of lighthouse to steer by."

"On January 23rd, Frank E. Ballou, representative from Providence, introduced into the State Legislature and had referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, an act providing that:

The electors of any town qualified to vote on a p;roposition to impose a tax, or the City Council of any City, may by vote exempt from taxation, for a period of ten years and until otherwise voted, all buildings and other improvements on the lands therein, and during the period of any such exemption, the rate of taxation upon the ratable lands therein may be in excess of one and one-half per centum of the valuation thereof."

"He did not yield easily. His Bible stood in the way. For a long time he could not see that individual regeneration was impossible under an unnatural economic system, and taht personal righteousness could not of itself solve the great social question. But when he did see ithe drew from the same Book the inspiration andthe lesson of social justice." The Single Tax Review, May-June, 1917

"It isn't necessary for the San Francisco Star to say that it does not share the peculiar views expressed by Kiefer and his 'non-resistant' associates, but it is necessary to say that the only importance of these men to us and to other Single Taxers is the fact that for some years they have been prominent in the Single Tax movement, and that we hope the Single Taxers of America will quickly and effectively relieve them of their prominence in the movement.
.... "The overwhelming majority of single Tax men and women of America are loyal to their cuntry, and the stigma of disloyalty should not attach to them because of the attitude and utterences of a few persons. Those Americans who are not for America in this war are against America, and if there is any difference between against America and being for Germany and Prussianism we don't know what it is. It is distinctly harmful to the Single Tax cause that Daniel Kiefer is chairman of the National Single Tax League."

"Men and women, do yu realize the menace? Is it necessary to point out what is going on in the world? Call it bolshevism or what you will, it is approaching at a rapid rate. Will you anticipate, weaken and destroy it by wise, thoughtful, effective and just measures, or will you wait until the hordes gather the strength of desperation and demand their birthright -- the right to life? Impoverished people suffering with the sting of age-long injustice, will not sotp to reason with you, they will not ask why. They will take and take until they ignorantly pull down and destroy the civilization of which you are proud, but the principle of which you have failed intelligently to examine."

"It is a consant surprise to discover how many one mets who are already largely or wholly won over to single tax. It is equally astonishing to note how easy it is to win other others. This condition here on the coast is party due to the leaven of the Canadian coast and to our necessity of competing with them for prospective residents; partly to the fact that in a state of mountains and rich valleys, old and large land grants are especially conspicuous and hence preach their warning in unescapable language. With the war conditions coming on top of these local conditions, the Single Taxers of the world have the greatest opportunity of history to exemplify their teaching."

"This book deals with economic theory from the Georgist point of view, and understakes to demonstrate that economics is as exact a science as any other. By resort to natural law, says Mr. Geckwith, we should be able to solve social problems as we solve shop problems."

"Rental value is theuse-value of land; so-called selling value is merely the market value of the franchise to appropriate (ground) rent, interest, and rate of tax. To turn a part of all of (ground) rent into government revenue, is a very simple matter, but to undertake to do this by taxing a law-made privilege instead of rental value, creates a confusion of taxable values that complicates the collection of the tax on rent and makes the results of such an attempt very uncertain."

"...Bemis made a study of all of George's books and of his writings in the early Standard. ...Bemis admitted that he agreed 'fully with George, as did Mill, and as do all economists', about the justice of land-value taxation, but he felt that the practical objections were overwhelming."

"... after you have brushed aside all of the trappings the philosophy of Henry George reduces itself to this: Let not the community take from the individual that which the individual creates. Let not the individual take from the community that which the community creates."
