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)

  • 1940 - Book, When Loneliness Comes, published. From the book: "...He understands, too, that land monopoly has a blighting effect on the people in civilized society. 'In reviewing history,' he says, 'we perceive that in the primitive state all land is comparatively free and afforded by the Creator for the use of men, to labor and live on. Whereas with the encroachment of organized civilized people -- the free land is ruthlessly seized from the native inhabitants and direct ownership claimed by the invading Government. After this aggrandizement, sabotage occurs, and all the fertile land and the wate rrights thereof are parceled out to governmental favorites, who promptly force the native inhabitants into slavery by demanding tribute for occupancy thereof.' And he goes on to urge a proper solution..."

Of the several types of such income is that which issues from the site value of land. The recipient of such an income does nothing to earn it; he merely sits tight while the growth of the community about the land to which he holds title brings him an unmerited gain. This gain is at the expense of all true producers, whether they be laborers, enterprisers or investors in industrial equipment. The taxation of this gain can do nothing to deprive the community of any service since the donee is rendering none. The land will be there for the use of society whether the return from it is taxed or free. Society creates the value and should secure it by taxation."
