    "I am convinced that no adequate settlement of the propositions involved can be made short of governmental co-operation. Arbitration and division of profits, while systems and interests remain the same, are only present makeshifts, involving perpetual conflict. It is not because men are worse that those labor difficulties arise, but it is becuase civilization has advanced and the rights of man are more clearly discerned. There was a time when the hideousness of slavery was scarcely discernible, but there came a time when its only cure was civil equality, established by government. When debt, rents, and corporation dividends are abolished, and the government supplies the place of corporations, labor will then receive its own; not, however, by permission, privilege or favor of any man, but by a law of trade and distribution as impratial as the sunshine. Prudence dictates no sudden revolution of society, hence all remedies should be gradual. I favor, as the first measure of governmental relief, the ultimate extinction of all debt, then railway ownership and control, and so on to the end of the chapter."

    "The adoption of a single tax is, in my opinion, destined to be the next great step in the order of social eviction. The times are ripe for it. What the world of industry and commerce now wants is freer access to the sources of wealth-production. Discoveries and inventions within the last 45 years have increased the average wealth-producing power of man more than eleven-fold. This enormous displacement of labor has transformed laborers into mighty armies of tramps and paupers. Someday these classes will rise together like human tigers to destroy the civilization which, to them, has been so harsh. Against this tendency toward socialism, the single tax is the only ratinal barrier which is being raised." 'Pittsburgh Daily Post', 8 October
