On very few occasions have renters in any part of the United 

 States acted in a concerted manner on economic problems. There 

 have seldom been any recognized tenant issues. In the state of 

 Texas, however, a little over a year ago an organization of tenants 

 was formed for the purpose of bettering the conditions of renting 

 land, and, if possible, doing away with it. The organization is 

 called the Renters' Union of America. The resolutions passed 

 at a meeting of this body savor strongly of single-tax doctrine.
