In thinking of the subject after

were so well-bred because they were
always spoken to gently and kindly by
their parents. 1t was said that the
old grandfather, nearing eighty years
of age, had never been known to speak
harshly to or to scold one of the grand
children whom he loved. If he spoke
to them they were respectful and obe-
dent; they were treated as ladies and
gentlemen and behaved as such. The

Some Of Henry Ware Aliens Work.

paper on the 23d of July, Mr.. Allen
gave at some length the main argu-
ments on which the theory is based.
Later he contributed an article to the
Mexican Financier on the same sub
ject This aroused criticism on the
part of Ell Universal which, in a
lengthy article, com bat.ed the theory.
Two replies soon afterward appeared,
one by Mr.. Allen himself, and one by a
single taxer. who used the monde

be put upon their holdings, the hold

the community. And when the prime
minister was asked if this was
the case would it not be the end
of the purchase by large capitalists
in England of great tracts OF land in
New Zealand, to be held for increase
in value, he said that if such was to be

and land or not would not alter the fact
that the large tracts of land would still
be there for the use of real settlers who
should come into the country. Now
you can see that our government has
been making progress in this same di-
rection with an eye to the future pros
perity of the country. 1t has sought to
sell land in sections only to actual set
tiers. That is exactly the object sought
in this New Zealand law. 1t aims to
carry ont what seems to be a true prin-
ciple of righteousness as well as a true
principle of political economy. For.
after all, what is political economy ex-

Ruskin says, is nothing more nor less
than applied religion. And therefore.
as have said, in all parts of the world
the movement is going steadily along

Why is Not Valuable Land Used?

j. FL. Root, of State College. Pa, has
been puzzled by a question asked him
in substantially the same form by two
radically different skeptics. One ques-
toner is an outright free trader, free
silver coinage man, and prohibitionist,
who appreciates the injustice of exist.
ing social conditions; the other is per-
fectly satisfied with things as they are,
wants to work can find profitable work
to do This is the question: How can
it be said that valua BILE land is withheld
from use. when there is no landlord
trust to arbitrarily corner it, and every
landlord naturally seeks to obtain
profit from his land? If landlords can
not get the rent they ask, why do they
not take, for the present, what they can
get; as overs of commodities generally
are forced to do. and thus enjoy some
income while awaiting an opportunity
to get more
great deal of land is held wholly
out of use. 1t is this alone that the
auestioners have in mind; but this is
not the worst form of land presumption
Owners of absolutely vacant land
would rent it for something if they
could; and when they can they do.
Thus, in the suburbs of cities, valuable
building sites are rented for market
gardens from season to season at low
rentals; but they are withheld from
use as building sites, because the own
ers will not give the security of tenure
necessary to encourage building. with
out price or rental that exceeds the
present non-speculative value OF the
land And this illustrates the kind OF
pre-emption that is most detrimental
to society, and which these questioners
have not in the.< minds at all-partial
withholding freni use. Building sites
are used for market gardens; sites for
large business buildings like the United
Bank building. at the northeast corner
of Wall street and Broadway, are used
for old ramshackle structures, like that
at the southeast corner Of the same
streets Well cultivated farms have
acre after acre of land attached to them
that are only partially cultisAted; and
so on, and so on. This condition de-
prives capital of opportunities for in
vestment and men of opportunities for
abor in constructing buildings, for ex-
ample. and it restricts opportunities for
carrying on business in the poss, Die
structures.
