Сторінка 157 - The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the earth and the machinery of production, and abolish the wage system.

Сторінка 105 - The recognition in our legislative enactments of the natural and inalienable rights of the whole community to the land — upon which all must live and from which by labour all wealth is produced — by the taxation of that value which accrues to the land from the presence and needs of the community, irrespective of improvements effected by human exertion...

Сторінка 203 - Council shall meet at such time and place as may from time to time be directed by the Council.
Сторінка 64 - Congress that a simple yet sovereign remedy which will raise wages, increase and give remunerative employment, abolish poverty, extirpate pauperism, lessen crime, elevate moral tastes and intelligence, purify government and carry civilization to a yet nobler height, is to abolish all taxation save that on land values.
