- 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."
