Monopoly and Misery

The Sunday Standard Of London is
Authority for the fact that there is an
appalling amount OF poverty, and dis
tress in England especially in the
great metropolis. it appears that with
in the entire British islands 100000
acres of land are owned by only ten
thousand families-or only one-sev-
enth part of the entire population.
Some of the owners hold as many as
5000 acres each. The duke of Suth-
erland, for example, owns one million
three hundred and thirty-three thou
sand acres-equal to one continuous
belt OF land five and half miles wide
all the way from Brighton to Berwick.
But this is only one of vast num-
Der OF similar land holdings. 1t is
not at all strange, then, that abject
suffering, poverty, and all sorts of
misery prevail in vast portions of the
country thus cinched by greed and
grab
Recent foreign dispatches to Amer
lean newspapers state that there are
now nearly 100000 people in London
on the verge of starvation. Figures
show an increase of such cases to the
number of $4,000 more than the num-
Der two years ago. Dispatches state
that all over London there are signs Of
Distress
Yet such statements, deplorable as
they are, should not surprise anybody.
when the fact is considered that mil
lions of acres of valuable land are
monopolized by human greed Such is
the case not only liz Great Britain but
in nearly all other countries, more or
including the so-called Chris
tian nation" in which we live-the
boastful United States.
But the time is cOming-it must come
when such Ubiquitous monopoly will
be swept out of existence, SO that in
dustry can have free access to natures
bOuntiful store house.

Single Tax and the Farmer
st. Louis. Mo-. Jan. 20. 1G

ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 20, 1906.
A large body of land is held by spec
ulators for an ultimate rise and mean
while the land lies idle. Farmer A
buys 100 acres next at $40 an acre. His
industry, ability and scientific knoWl-
edge bring in large returns and his
land Ms finally worth $500 per acre.
Farmer AS son John has saved $1,000
and like his father wishes to farm.
The only land available is the specu-
lator's land, still in undeveloped stake,
for which he has to pay as much as his
fathers land, 500 per acre. The son
finds, on thought, that for every dollar
his father had added to the value of his
farm he had also added 81 to the value
of the spectators land for doing moth
ing and that therefore to the extent
OF the fathers industry, knowledge and
ability in advancing values the son
had thereby been badly handicapped in
his start in life
Remedy for John-To advocate a
progressive tax on land by the state
equal to the tax his father pays, for
results, due to his labor, upon adjoin-
ing land. F. F.

constitution of the corporation must
be ratified by two-thirds of all the

The membership is constantly in
creasing and now embraces some of the
most prominent single takers in the

the treasurer.

Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason
why is given in experiences such as
that Of Mr.. T. 7. Void. a well-known
citizen here.
81 had such pains in my back that |
did not know what to do" says Mr.;
Void, "and as came across an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
sent for a box. That one box reliey-
ed me OF all my pains. My wife also
used them and found them just what
she needed. | recommend Dcdd's Kid
ney Pills as sure cure for Back
ache and other Kidney Troubles"
Backache is one of the earliest
symptoms OF Kidney Disease. Dodds
Kidney Pills cure 1t promptly and per
manently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
Brights Disease.
