U'Ren promoted and helped pass a corrupt practices act, the presidential primary, direct election of U.S. senators. As a progressive activist, U'Ren championed the initiative, referendum, and recall systems in an effort to bring about a Georgist \"Single Tax\" on the unimproved value of land, but these measures were also designed to promote democracy and weaken the power of backstage elites."@en .
