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)

SINGLE TAX ASSOCIATION OF CANADA ... 1900 - Quote: "In its appearance before the Ontario Assessment Commission in 1900, the Single Tax Association argued that taxing improvements makes it harder for poor people to live in good houses and also lessens employment. The Association also provided a logic which reaffirmed the need to limit the tax base to land: 'To adopt the site value method of taxation is to invite general prosperity. With personal property exempt, its increasd consumption would increase the demand for it and consequently multiply business opportunities in connection with making, carrying and selling it. With landed improvements also exempt, larger and better homes would be demanded to the stimulation of all brances of the building industry. With vacant lots taxed the same as if improved, and so much that it would be unprofitable to hold them out of use, speculative values would decline and business would be no longer obstructed by exorbitant prices for location.'"
