"The Great Adventure simply cannot

fires that are bursting thru the encrusted strata of social
stagnation in the weakest spots. Those 260,000 votes in 1916, in
spite of the old Single Tax 'leaders' largely joining hands with big
business, indicate that the crust is pretty thin in California. It
isn't a job for organizations to 'lead'. The people are demanding
more than we ever dared hope to secure for them thru reform. ..."
