position of Naval Officer of Customs (through 1921)
- 1918 - Comments on a letter signed by Messrs. Kiefer, Garrison, Stephens and others
printed in the March-April issue of The Single Tax Review:
"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."

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." The

- 1918 - Letter, Everyman, March, in which he wrote:
"
It is a constant surprise to discover how many
one meets 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."

- 1922 - Article, The Single Tax Review, July-August:
"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."
