"The year that has closed... has seen the steady growth of millionaires... The average wage of the American worker remains at $25 per week in contrast, and the averages of women workers are much less than that. What is necessary today is to unite around the banner of progressive, courageous and militant action the great masses of American workers." Llano Colonist, January 19, 1929

“Class struggle molded [Clarence] Darrow’s life. It molded the life of Eugene Debs. It molded the life of Job Harriman. It molded the life of…hundreds of people who came together in the Llano effort. It was the basic cause of the setting up of the Llano Cooperative Colony. That fact must never be lost sight of.” Bread and Hyacinths, the Rise and Fall of Utopian Los Angeles by Paul Greenstein, Nigey Lennon and Lionel Rolfe

"Membership in the Llano Colony can be had on payment of what is considered enough to provide the worker with tools and equipment. Money is not all that is necessary to join the Colony, however. One must evince a desire to do his full duty in social, educational, and physical betterment; to be willing to work at whatever is necessary to be done, and to be patient and anxious to learn how to become a real co-operator." Llano Colonist, December 10, 1927
