A Fact and a Cause For It.

MT. Carnegie says that there are more
millionaires in the United States than
10 all the rest of the world.
Prof. j. A. Collins publishes statistics
in the American Magazine OF Civics for
January, showing that the percentage
OF the whole population not owning
houses Is 1884 in France, 55.19 in Italy,
and over 20 in the United States.
That ls to say. houses are owned in
france by over II. Italy by over A.
and III the United States by less than
30 per cent of the people.
Such a state of affairs certainly did
not exist in the days of our fathers and
there must consequently be causes 10
operation III this country tending to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Business energy and capacity,
tact, talent and thrift are not sufficient
to account for it. These exist in
France. where they are elevating the
common people, ameliorating the aver
age condition, and enriching the ma
ton.
Our land laws have been allowed to
grow and accumulate in a h%aphazard
way, tile belief that we had more land
b IA we could use preventing any care
full consideration of the matter. Alien
landlordism has grown until it is al
.0ouJ "iLH US Il moIe INnpOSluS etlI
than it is elsewhere. Nearly thirty
million acres OF our lands are owned
by wealthy foreigDers-and this only
takes account Of large holders who are
we'll known. II it could be ascertained
how much land is owned by non-resi-
dents, the evil would be seen in its
magnitude.
There is clearly something wrong
with our legislation. 1t ought to en-
courage and increase c%ultivating occu-
pants, aud to discourage nonresident
ownership Of real estate.-Times-D Dem
