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)

Quote: "Your remarks in the June issue on how the coal supply is running out, and now oil, reminds me of a story told by a friend of mine. When his father was a small boy, in the 1840s, a man said to him, 'My boy, you will live to see the day when you will have to go to bed by candle light becuase they are killing all the whales'."
