Excerpt from Under the Wheel: A Modern Play in Six Scenes
For eight years I have been growing steadily in the belief that I have heard the riddle of the Sphinx answered, not by one voice but by many. I have very definite beliefs as to the line of remedial action but I do not insist on the infallibility of my belief. I simply say I am satisfied that the destruction of all monopoly in land by a single governmental levy upon the social or site-value of land is the heroic cure for most - if not all of the disease and deformity of our social life.
This I have suggested in my play and occasionally in my stories, never I hope to the great injury of their literary value. I have also aimed at setting forth in a modest way the growing desire of the modern woman to stand as an individual beside man. Alice Edwards, in a dim, searching way, is walking toward the light, as I see her. In rejecting charity and demanding jus tice she is voicing the expanding personality of the modern man and woman.
I should be very glad to hear from those to whom the story of Jason Edwards and his daughter comes with new meaning, or as a new statement.
