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, March, in which he wrote: "Every since henry George's bugle call was sounded through 'Progress and Poverty', I have devoted more of my time and money to aid in turning on the light that I have devoted to my own personal affairs, and yet there is so little to show for it. Not that I regret the time and money spent, but so much of it now seems to have been misdirected. The proposal to abolish all taxes other than that upon the annual rental value of the land and touse for public purposes the revenue so obtained, seemed so equitable, practical and the need for its adoption so great, I felt that it would only be needed that the people's attention be directed to it, in order that it be adopted without delay. But all these years we seem to have been only explaining the theory of the plan. Now California is to make a direct effort to put the plan into operation and I am heartily with you."
