EQvAL DISTRIBUTION.

We believe it is a universally re-
cognized principle Of POLITICAL econ
omy that the nearest approach to
perfect prosperity is attained
through an equal distribution of
property. At the same time, the
division cannot always be artifi-
cially regulated without serious in
justice to frugality and industry. |
Those who by toll and economy |
and providential foresight have |
amassed considerable substance
cannot, by any rule of right, be
compelled to keep up continual
division with the idle, improvident
and prodigal. But certain restrict
ions might be placed on grasping
avarice. The only imperishable
wealth in this world to which
absolute ownership can be acquired
is land and water. By some
happy accident the lawmakers of
this country have. discovered that
thelaws that govern the air we
breathe are rightfully applicable
to the water we drink; that ia, that
no man can acquire an absolute
proprietorship to more of either
element than he can, and actually
does, apply to some useful and
beneficial purpose, and that owner
ship only begins with actual appli-
cation and Immediately ends when
the beneficial purpose has been
served. We understand that the
rules which govern water owner
ship are considered just and equit-
able and in line with good public
policy. Now, we would not ven
ture,to question the judges and legis-
lators. They must know good law,
because they are learned in good
law. We merely desire to ask a
few simple questions which occur
to US from a consideration of the
foregoing facts. They tell US that
this world is composed of three
elements, land, water and air. II
has been determined that owner
ship in water and air may right
fully be restricted to their useful
and beneficial employment. We
cannot clearly understand why the
same rule does not apply to land
