The greatest one book in all the
world telling about the Single
Tax is Progress and Poverty"
published in San Francisco, Cali
fornia, in 1879.
The greatest one thought in
that book is this: Private Prop
erty in Land Must Be Des-
troyed."
The one marvelously simple
means for doing that tremendous
thing without harm to any one,
without revolution, without any
disturbance to the normal devel-
opment of society, is: to simply
leave to every individual all that
he may make by working for him
self, or comparatively working
with any or all of his fellow men,
and then taking for society all
that it creates in its collective
capacity by a Single Tax on the
value of Bare land, exclusive of all
improvements, until the entire
rent of land is taken into the pub
lie treasures of society to be ex-
pended for the society that Gre
ates these values!
The keynote to the spirit of
Henry Georges work is found in

A Scrap of Conversation Overheard at
Factory


Shortly after O'Clock one afternoon
two colored hodcarriers while on their
way home stopped to gaze through a
factory window into polishing room
They were union men and had worked
eight hours that day and earned 81.
Their curiosity had possibly been
aroused by the peculiar odor or 1t may
have been a desire to see skilled me-
chanics work They were soon able
TO discern through the dust the work
ers laboring over the swiftly revolving
wheels
The following conversation took
place:
Say, boss, amt that thar work dan
gerous?"
Eyes, indeed; we have to know our
business"
How long yo' have to do that ev-
cry day?"
well be through at 6 O'clock; We
work ten hours"
Say. don't that dust make yo feel
poly sometimesT
Yes, | guess larger per cent Oh
polishers die with consumption than
any other trade"
"Pshaw! What yo' all get Il day.
"Oh, anywhere from SIZE to 1925
a day."
$40 de Lawd's sake! Is dat all?
Don't yo' belong to a union?"
mo, indeed; we are Independent
workmen We don't believe in having
unions tell us what to do. That little
fellow over there belonged once, and
he didn't like the way things were
run"
Just hen the foreman caught sight
of the man idle and ordered him to
his lathe. The two colored men when
leaving were heard to say:
Dem white men am sho' dumb
Even a colored man knows dat he
wouldn't get no chicken if it want
