1918 - Letter, Everyman, March, in which he wrote:
"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."
