recorded in the scriptures and assumes that
the ownership of large tracts OF lands is OF
very ancient date and therefore the land
grabbers ofthe present day are warranted by
scriptural usage in picking up square miles OF
the public domain. The argument does not
hold. When the Lord gave Abram all
the land from the rivers of Egypt to the
Euphrates nobody objected as there was
plenty Of land ard more than enough for
the thin population. Now with over bill
lion Of people on the earth no man can own a
large tract Of land without depriving his
neighbor of some. The land given to Abram
was to him and "hs seed forever"
clearly indicating that as the progeny of
Abram increased the land was to be
divided up, the amount of land owned by
one man decreasing inverselv to the increase
ofpopulation. The very authority quoted by
the Enterprise to sustain the land monopolist
is the best argument which could be pro-
duced to maintain the theory advanced by
Henry George, who holds that each man
should own and cultivate a small quanity of
land and not hold thous aDds Of acres which
he has no use for.
