<blockquote>I read <i>Progress and Poverty</i> in 1882, and I went just as crazy over the Single Tax idea as any one else ever did. I knew I wanted the Single Tax, and that was about all I did know. I thought I could get it by agitation, and was often disgusted with a world that refused to be agitated for what I wanted. In 1882 (sic) I learned what the Initiative and Referendum is, and then I saw the way to the Single Tax. SO I QUIT TALKING SINGLE TAX, not because I was any the less in favor of it but because I saw that the first job was to get the Initiative and Referendum, so that the people independently of the Legislature, may get what they want rather than take what the Legislature will let them have.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=gqBJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA92 The Initiative and Referendum: Its Folly, Fallacies, and Failure]</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=JQnZAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA21 Single Tax Conference, Held in New York City, November 19 and 20, 1910, Under the Auspices of the Joseph Fels Fund Commission, Volume 1]</ref></blockquote>
