There are 5O,00O,O00 acres Of land In Cali.
fornia fit for cultivation but not over 5,OOOs
900 are In actual use for that purpose and
not over 100000 are enclosed. Over N,OO0..
900 acres are held by land rings or individual
monopollsts for speculative purposes, hi
tracts of 125,OOO to 100000 acres. This state
of things has long been felt to be great
check to the prosperity of the State. Under
normal conditions men of small means might
be- expected to flock i'll large numbers to settlo
upon rich farming land, and healthy, active
and enterprisiDg agricultural communitles
would arise: but this has been rendered i'm
possible by the refusal Of the large land
owners to sell except at exorbitant prices,
The new constitution that ID now before the
California people for adoption, seeks "a
remedy this evil by providing that the taxa
ton of lands held in large uncultivatad tracts
shall not be assessed, as heretofore, at the
nominal value of 30 cents to 50 80 per acre.
but that the same valuation shall be placed
upon them as upon the small cultivated
farms adjoining them. This will be from 80
to $50 per acre, according to location, and
will make the annual tax on one Of these
small kingdoms 100000 or more. It Is
believed that such assessments will soon
cause the monopolists to sell their tracts for
what they will fairly bring.
