would forbid us to raise revenue from land values for our old-age
pensions, mothers endowments, and disability and disemployment
indemnity bills." |

"We have long
since ceased to be active in the Georgist movement: not because we
have less esteem for the ideas of Henry George, but because we
have felt the movement was more of a personal cult than a
scientific effort. I have been wondered whether mankind deserves
or even wants economic freedom, and the more so during recent
years, when the political trend seems to be more and more toward
government control and away from individual freedom: this even in
the USA, let alone other countries with no tradition of personal
freedom."

1891 - Advocated the Single Tax
1917 - Letter, printed in Everyman, October 1917, regarding
the division within the Single Tax movement over the campaign for a
land tax in California to fund all public goods and services:
I am in full sympathy
with The Great Adventure campaign -- is it is the real thing. The
substitute offered by James and his followers will not command
support, and I know they have no trade with the Socialists, and
what they want is to found the work on false principles. How any
singletaxer can have anything to do with them is beyond my
comprehension.
Tax reform has been tried since the days of Ham Arabbie who
announced it in a code of laws of Babylor 2300 years before
Christ. But the Single tax (another name for free land) is of more
recent origin and there is but one form of it.

- Proposed having the 1932 Henry George Congress in Memphis, TN
1932 - Chaired Henry George Congress, Memphis
The Judge's talk was
an admirable statement: "The question is often asked,"
he said, "how do you propose to give men jobs? We do not
propose to give anybody a job. We propose to take away the
policeman that stands between the man and the job. What we
advocate is to free the earth. When we hold conventions it is to
tell people who come what we are after. Let us confine our
discussions to preaching the quaity of opportunity."

Quote: "It is a compliment to be asked
to disagree. It is even more of a compliment when one is asked to
disagree, perhaps, with those with whom one shares a fundamental and
a great philosophy of life and economics. ...I am not a devout and
sentimental believer in Henry George; I am simply one of those who
cannot escape from his keen intellectual analysis and the economic
principles from which his logic offers no escape. ...We must become
a living part of the issues and forces of our own day. ...Our
obligation is to train leadership, to work with and within human
associations. One cannot shape life by recoiling from it."

1910 - Book, Social Service, reviewed in The New Age,
15 September, p.472:
"The book has not yet been written
which adequately describes America. Mr. Wells has not quite achieved
success. No American has yet produced a book on America in the least
worth while. Mr. Henry James will never write the reat work on the
meaning of the Nietzschean nation, for he has been too completely
de-yanked for that. Mr. Louis F. Post will not write it, for he is
very Yank of very Yank, garrulous, cocksure, and intolerably
conceited. The book of his, "Social Service," contains 361
pages of argument mainly about Henry George and the Single Tax:
quite half of it is the veriest padding. The book is written as a
series of conversations between Mr. Post and an extraordinary
inarticulate doctor (for the gentlemen never opens his mouth monce
during the course of the 361 pages)."
