- 1918 - Letter to the editor:
Everyman, March, in which he wrote:
"From first hand observation of the feeling of the people [in California]; from
the recent happy healing of the old differences between The
Great Adventure and the Equity Tax League, the withdrawal of
their bill, and the joining of forces in the campaign work; from
the vigorous, intense, yet perfectly practicable manner in which
the campaign is being waged, largely as a war measure to
increase the production of food -- form all this I argue that
the Single Tax Amendment cannot be defeated by the land
speculators this time, if The Great Adventure campaign is at all
decently financed. ...There may never again be such a favorable
joining of circumstances for the immediate application of single
tax as there is in California today."

The Road to Better Business -- and
Plentiful Employment
The American Journal of Sociology, January:
"Considering the fundamental economic fallacy
underlying single tax theory, the tenacity of the movement is surprising. Mr.
Jorgensen's book adds nothing to single tax theory but is simply an attempt
to capitalize on the current depression to gain new disciples for the faith.
The single tax as a cure-all for all econmic and social ills lies quiescent
in prosperity but inevitably, in periods of depression like the
present, it bursts forth with renewed vigor."
