Excerpt from Teachers Leaflet Supplement to Blue Bulletin, September, 1920, Vol. 6
President Clarke has drawn attention to an attempt upon the part of the Anti Single Tax League to take away the right of the people, not only of local communities, but of the entire state, to administer their own business affairs. This is a campaign waged solely for the protection of those who wax fat on the unearned increment. These persons never have contributed anything to the financial prosperity of the state. Those who really do contribute to the financial prosperity are the last ones to stand in the way of public improvements, even though such improvements do produce large tax bills.
In dealing with this measure we are confronting a very old problem-i-the problem of property versus humanity. We are of those who believe that prop etty rights are absolutely safe in the hands of the people of America, and that in order to protect the rights of property, it is unnecessary to shackle the people.
