The Philosophy of Freedom
An Open Forum for Single Takers

the workers in wages their interests
are antagonistic." He seems to have
no place for quid pro quo, nor con-
cept of the word justice. Little won
der that single tax meets with dis
favor under such a rendering, but MIR.
George would turn over in his grave
if that kind of stuff was accredited to
him and if Mr.. Patton is really friend
of single tax he better let some one
else write for the papers and get Mr..
Georges books and study them for
while and If he finds anything like
the above, would like to know where
it is. Single takers of this stamp will
readily fall in with Prof. Behrens, ct
al, that with free land, AMI special
privilege to no one, that in such event
interest will be eliminated" |. e.,
there will be no return to capital. 1t
may be that these sophists conclude
that in such event capital will 70
longer be employed in production
farmers will draw the plow them
selves, in fact there will be a gener al
return to primitive methods-the great
industrial methods and machinery
Will become dDSOIcJc.
1t seems to me, however, that any
one who will think for themselves
can see that it is patent on the face
of the proposition that capital will
more and more be in demand as aids
to production and whether it be owned
by the user or furnished by third
party, 1t will demand and receive in
terest as a return. Compulsory bor-
rowing, as means of self-employ-
ment, will of course be avoided, but,
as in New Zealand, on the partial ap-
plication of single tax principle the
demand for capital largely increased
at an increased interest while, wages
kept we'll in the lead. Perhaps these
astute philosophers propose to elm
mate interest by substituting there
Tor the word profit, word eschewed
by Mr.. George in his political econ
omy as so much surplussage unneces-
sary and confusing-there being but
three factors in production it follows
mat but three returns are necessary
in computing the several shares.
l am one OF those single takers who
mas read and re-read and read again.
'studiOusly, every and all of Mr..
Georges books and most of his ESSAYS
and accept and affirm his every pos
tuiate and every substantial utterance
made by him in his lifc-work, as 10
the cause and cure of involuntary poy-
erty, and the relations of rent. wages
and interest in production and of their
legitimate returns together with his
doctrine of free trade and I challenge
the world for the successful refuta-
ton OF anything declared upon by him.
