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: "One matter of vital importance in The Great Adventure program is that it clearly sees the real cause of war and proposes to abolish war by removing the cause. To abolish the privilege of holding land idle will not only win the war against special privilege in Europe, but all over the world -- for special privilege knows no country or nationality. Like the pirates of old it flies the black flag and is the people's enemy everywhere. We should concentrate all our efforts on California now, where the opportunity seems to favorble for success."
