Description |
Scrapbook (2 of 3), likely of E. B. Gaston (although archival notes of physical folder shows C. A. Gaston), dated 1934-1935. Includes clippings from newspaper The Forum (and possibly No Taxes, although headings are cut off) on topics such as Georgist issues, taxes, politics of the day in relation to taxation and land valuation, and Upton Sinclair. These newspapers are edited by L. D. Beckwith. 5.6.4-5 is a letter to the editor of The Forum from E. B. Gaston about Upton Sinclair. 5.6.35 is an editorial in The Forum about E. B. Gaston and his position supporting Upton Sinclair's bid for the governorship of California. The editorial references the Fairhope Courier newspaper saying it "is probably the oldest Henry George publication in this country, certainly the oldest in point of continuous publication under one ownership," and laments Gaston's position. Dates of clippings are 11/5/1934,11/14/1934,12/3/1934, 12/17/1934, 12/31/1934, 1/14/1935, 1/28/1935 and 2/11/1935. |
