153 Chapter XII THE SINGLE TAX* F OR the practical views which it is my privilege to present toAhis distinguished conference I beg to assume responsibility individually, rather than as representing any organised body, who thereby might be compromised. To express my conviction in ecclesiastical form I begin with the Credo (i) I believe in the single tax defined by Henry George in “Progress and Poverty” as ‘‘the abolition of all taxes save those on land values,” to be accomplished, as he said at Saratoga, ‘‘by the slow process of educa ting men to demand it”; to which he added: “In thinking of details it should be remembered that we cannot get to the single tax at one leap, but only by gradual steps, which will bring experience to the settle ment of details.” (2) 1 believe that the amount of the single tax should be limited to the needs ot the State for an effec tive and economical administration of government. ♦Address before the National Tax Association, November 13, 1907, at Columbus, Ohio. See il State and Local Taxation. First National Conference, 1907.” The Macmillan Company, 1908. The reader is warned that this chapter is made up largely of expressions found elsewhere in the book, especially in the first three chapters. The only reason for its insertion is that it represents the author’s latest resume of the subject, prepared for an important occasion.
