GUTHRIE, o. T.. April 4--There is a
clash between the city and county au-
thorities at Chandler the scene OF the re-

LAND OWNERSHIP.
HIGHLANDS, N. G.

N. ~.
Ia THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, of July
Is h, is an article on land ownership,
signed G. B. Gwynn. I respectfully
ask him to give his remedy. 1t is eesy
to fad objections to our present sys
tenn of land ownership; but what are
the remedies7
have for years thought that there
ought to have been provisions made
by law to limit land ownership, so that
no one person should eve own owe
one mile square of lAnd-say $40 acres.
1 think it would be a good law.
He states that Flaw just or unjust is
the registered decree of the peoples
will; it's majesty and dominion IRE not
20 be questioned as long as it is the I'm
doubted expression Of the peoples will"
Please, Mr.. Gwynn, give Us your pro
posed remedy to prevent large landed
estates. prosperity cannot come to
the masses so long as those who profit
by the adversely of the masses retain
the rains Of government" A change
must come on land ownership and the
currency a protective tariff, TO com
pell us to use home manufactures as
against foreign in a tariff not for rev
emu "only" but for protection is now
law. Give US, then, home money.
Coin gold, silver and paper and United
States currency, United States Treas
ury notes and let trade with foreign
nations be sustained by an exchange of
products of the factory or of the farm
Foreign trade ought to be regulated by
exchange of product only and have re
~ciprocity, admit certain products of a
foreign nation free if that nation will
admit certain products of the United
States free.
Once Great Britain was mistress of
the seas. Search and seizure of and on
board of vessels of the United
States on the broad ocean was prac
ticed by her majesty's ships. This led
to the war of 1912 which Henry Clay
said, tended in a blaz9 of glory" and
gave rise to the saying Of free trade
and sailors rights. Great. Britain vas
taught that the seas were the common
property Of all nations. So it seems to
me when applied to the earth; that it
belongs to all the people of the earth;
but how shall we regulate it2 Every
family ought to have a home and &C
cess to the soil. ALL are called on in
case OF war, and even handed justice
ought to be melted out to them in times
OF peace. The safest custodians Of our
liberties are the independent farmers;
