Alfred Russell Wallace
On Public Ownership

DR.. Wallace, the co-founder
with Darwin of the doctrine of
evolution, believes unborn chill
dren have no property rights, and
that those who are living owe
nothing to those who have never
lived. So DR.. Wallace would
have the Government take over
the railroads, pay fixed annual in
comes to their present owners
and heirs as long as they live,
and then call the railroad bill set
tied.
DR.. Wallace has put forth his
plan with characteristic force and
clearneSS in an article that appears
in the January number of the
Arena Magazine. An extended
digest of this article, illustrated
with portrait of DR.. Wallace,
