learn that he hesitates to evict persons
living in damp. insanitary novels, because
they have nowhere else to go, you
known That shows kind heart. but
what are we to think of the head?
There was recently passed a small hold
ings act designed to save rural England
from unnroduetiveness and total depopu-
lation. But our pattern duke instructed
the county council that he has no land
where 1t is needed available for such sub
division.
Here and there bits of land have been
secured. i'll spite of the monopoly divided
into small allotments. In such patches
happy, thriving villages have sprung up.
Put the observer tells us over the huge
domain OF the duke, except the leased
coal lands, there is an empty waste, al
must no farm labor, arabic land all laid
down to grass and disappearing rural
population.
Is the duke a diabolical hypocite? He
presides AT the annual dinner of the Royal
Sanitary institute but has kept cottages
rented so hagrantly insanitary that the
district council recently ordered p of
them to be closed as totally unfit for hui
man .ablation." The death rate in these
cottages had for is years been 26 per 1000,
as against Is per 1000 the general average
for the district Is that murder?
Like a band of steel these estates shut
Newcastle in, and the people live on, sore
ly Chatting because 1.-The land of the free
and the home of the brave is in that
region monopolized by one who has his
own interests always in view Is it any
wonder that in that city socialism is the
conviction of the working people? Lloyd

and its taxation according to the needs of

There the huge ducal estates march with
each other in many counties, and a sin
gle one of them covers more than one
seventh of a populous county. Serene in
his palace sits the duke. outside his park
gates squalid row of novels silently, in
speechless degradation sets forth the cruel
wrong of the people. Huddled into two
unyentilated rooms, surrounded by I'M
speakable filth, with almost no possibility
OF decency or reserve, two or three fam
flies of working folks long in vain for a
cottage. Thousands of acres under pas
ture lie all around them. The men work
in the coal pits, which pay handsome
royalty to the duke; but will he rent
them few rods of garden? Will he en-
courage them to thrift and decency by
inducing them to build home? Not he.
Why not? Simply because he does not
please, and, being an autocrat on his own
estates, only what he says goes"
Here. for instance, is the huge slice
of the north country impin ging on the
busy, crowded, painting city of New
castle Tyne. 1t is owned by the
Duke of Northumb erland. The area of
three-fourths of it owned by 146 per-
sons. My authority for these figures is
Mr.. II. l.. Outhwaite, the writer of the
afore mentioned sketches in the Daily
News" He tells us that the duke owns
10000 acres, much of it coal lands. one
colliery alone paying to the landlord
$4,000 a year in royalties. Seven such
estates would more than cover the
county. And this is the undisputable
fact: The duke does not want peo-
pie on his land. He does not consent
to be taxed according to the present
productive value of the land. Having
monopoly and that fat one he ear

Northumberland is simply a fair example
of the dueal type. For instance here Is
the Duke of Norfolk, whose noble ances-
tor helped steal the residue of English
commercial land in the first quarter of the
nineteenth century. and added his share
OF the plumber to his inherited demesne.
Thirty-five acts of parliament were re-
quired to put through this scheme affect
ing $1,000 acres of common land within
70 miles of the city of Sheffield. Truly,
when your aristocrat works graft he
does it imperially
What use does he make of the vast
estates called his? To extort high ground
rents where they lie in cities, and to re-
fuse cottages for workmen where they
stretch In lonely splendor through rural
England. II may be said of the Duke of
Norfolk and the would-be towns that
strive to grow on his territory, that
whom he will he makes alive and whom
he will he hardeneth" Said one man in
Around, under the shadow of the castle,
II came here a conservative. but I am
a socialist now converted by the feudal
conditions of subserviency imposed on this
place" The Duke of Norfolk, De 1t said,
is hereditary Earl Marshal of England,
close linked with the throne, and every
inch a ducal autocrat. But the people
dwindle while he swels so big.
The same must be said of Lord Roth
schild, whose ancestral glories are not
SO far-shining, but who, with his fam
lily connections, obscures large portion
of Buckinghamshire. Because they want
the land for hunting "carted" deer ana
cosseted forces, these men steadfastly

nestly desires only to sit still and let
the world wag.
The duke is not lacking in grim hui
NOR. lie is chairman of the county
council. The council was ordered to
provide a school. No one else had land
for the purpose and the duke grace
fully submitted to necessity. He con-
sented to sell slice of land al $4,000
an acre, though the rental of adjoining
fields was but Sc an acre!
In certain working class suburb
of Newcastle the people wished to
build public hall. But not q foot of
land would Ills Grace" sell for such
unholy purposes. The people used for
public meetings the hall of the Coop
erative society, but the duke insisted
that political meetings held there would

lot had been sold The only political

sphere yet little while, is the polit-

self every pay day. And besides, it
was just the thing to tickle a pirates
fancy
And suppose we had only understood
the theory and practice of trade combi-
nations as they are understood today?
There'd have been nothing to it, my young
friend, positively nothing to it. We were
scouting around independently, cutting in
on one anothers business until after
while the competition in off years ate
up nearly all the profits. How different
things might have been If we had known
anything at all about trust mergers. We
ators into the Spanish Main Development
& Piracy Co., limited, Incorporated under
the laws of the state of New Jersey and
Issued preferred bonds and common stock
the bonds for the fellows on the inside
and the common stock for the suckers.
And then we'd have frozen out all the
small independents and split up the ter
r1tory among ourselves; and what with
private gentleman's agreement and a
friendly speaker of the House OF Repre-
senatives and a rebate system and a high
protective tariff to keep out the foreign
pauper pirates and pipe line or two and
our own dock privileges, we'd have been
satisfied, no doubt And what would
have been the result? Instead of being
cut down in our prime as many of us
were and dying In more or less hurried
and unpleasant manner, we would have
lived ripe old age and settled down in
peaceful sretirement, endowing college
and building public libraries and buying
church organs for needy congregations
And people would have respected us and
looked up to us and everything nice and
pleasant like that. 1t sounds like a dream

/ n former paper I drew attention 70
the fact that agricultural England
= is still intensely welded to medieval
ideas. 1t Is feudal and it is snobbish.
Recent perusal of facts and figures which
have come to hand, reprinted from the
London Daily News, liberal organ, has
impressed this on my mind once more
With the sizzling heat of branding
iron.
We in America take one thing for
granted: 1t is that the land and its OPP
pcrtunities ought to belong to all the
people So freely has the possession of
efty lots, railroad sections and the vast
farming acreage been offered. SO freely
IL that possession still being offered, that
IN every community real estate agents
have been made rich by the process of
transfer and countless thousands of i'm
migrants and others have been made
economically Independent. We all agree
that disaster could take no shape so dire
as a land monopoly. forbidding the peo-
pie freely to acquire building sites or
farms. OF course we have the goods to
deliver vast regions still almost I'M
touched, and others only awaiting the
enchanter's rod of engineering science
that will some day cause water to flow
over their arid spaces, to laugh back at
the farmer with golden mirth. Agricul-
turally this whole land is still less than
half developed, and the millions that are
still to come to America will be welcomed
and fed on her fat pTairies and in her
rich wales. We want those millions; in
vfte them, and bid t EN- freely to ac-
ouire the earth they unger for. Why?
Because we are demotratic, not arsto-
cratic.
How different it is in rural England.
