A Biographical History of the Georgist Movement


“The grey heads and bald heads are in the majority. The problem that confronts those of us who want the torch held up in the future, is to fill up the ranks. In order to do that many things must be done, but we must not depend on the old or middle-aged. Somehow or other we must devise a way to reach the minds of the young people – when their minds are open, when they are ready for new truths.”

Mr. Rose, of Kansas City, Missouri (from a speech at the 1928 Henry George Foundation Congress, Chicago. Reprinted in: Land and Freedom, September-October 1928)

  • 1918 - Letter, Everyman, April, in which he wrote (from Havana, Cuba): "I know of no greater service to the battle for liberty than your efforts to unlock nature's storehouse and unshackle labor's effort at production. If the honest and liberty loving people of our land only realized that the slave head-value of the entire population as chattel slaves has been absorbed by the land possessed by a limited few, The Great Adventure would soon be an accomplished fact. Self determination in an economic sense would then be each man's portion, as if it were a birthright, and the abundant life begotten of an enormous production of primal necessities would be our inheritance."
