munity. its values have risen 20 such a
point that the receipts OF the town are

telephone system and free water works
have been installed out OF the proceeds.
II all demonstrates the groundwork OF
Henry Georges theory. which was that
land has no value until the presence OF a
community makes that value. and that as
the community makes II no individual
should be allowed 10 reap the benefit OF
II. Since the community makes IL, the
community should receive it-that was
Georges position.
The statement that the telephone and
water works systems are free should per-
haps be qualified A FairhOper who wants
a telephone put in his house has to pay

That. however. is his last payment; he
has no quarterly rent coming due Under

he has 10 pay $50 TO have his water drain

initial SO.
The Home Telephone Company watched
with envious eyes the progress Of the
free telephone system in FairhOpe- Fin
ally they made a proposition 10 the Fair
hOpeTs 20 the effect that they would pay
lorg-distanCe charges on everything out
side that region. and on this basis the
connection was made.
Again II was a practical demonstration
OF Georges doctrine. a minor part OF
which theory Il was that the ground
rent OF the community would not only
pay ell expenses thereof. but would en-
able the community TO support out OF its
own pocket what are now monOpolies,
such as the telephone. the telegraph, the

One Of the most remarkable enisodes
in the history of international arbitra-
ton was the appeal made by the late
Prince Bismarck to Leo XIII. 10 act as
umpire in a controversy which had arisen
between Germany and Spain with regard
70 the Caroline Islands. in the Northern
Pacific Il was a clever political move
on the part Of the great chancellor. For
he could not have selected an arbitrator
more pleasing to the Spaniards. nor one
whose decisions were more likely to be
received with respect at Madrid: while
the compliment thus paid 70 the supreme
head Of the Roman Catholic Church
contributed in no small degree 10 estab-
lish friendly relations between the Ger
man government and the holy seat. which
had been at war with one another ever
since the Inauguration Of the Kultur-
kampf during the reign Of Plus TX.
II Is doubtful whether there was anv
event during his long and remarkable
pontifcate upon which Leo was wont
toward its close to look back upon with
so much satisfaction. as to this arbitra-
ton of the difficulties between Germany
and Spain; and his award is wel-nigb
unique. tn that It was received with equal
good will by both parties, and its fair
