LAND MONOPOLIES,

When James Madison uttered his warning against monopolies in 1914, he referred incidentally to land. The idea of land monopoly was. of course, intolerant to him.
 He took the. good old orthodox view, certainly, that grants of land in perpetuity to individuals, when giv- en for sufficient consideration, should not be considered as monopolies.
 He feared "an excessive and dan gerous emulation of landed property in the hands of individuals" He thought that could be prevented by the prohibition of entails, by sup pressing the right of primogeniture, and by the liability of landed proper ty to the payment of debts. At any rate, he felt sure that such remedies would be effective in any country where population was increasing at rapid rate, and that it would be suf- ficient many country.
 It has been fairly effective up to very recent years. But there are enormous and dangerous cumulatione of land in certain places now. The west has many vast estates, belonging to one man, or to a syndicate, often composed of foreigners. In the east, men of great wealth ara acquiring great estates, like that of Rockefeller and Hartman, in the hill country of New York, or the Vanderbilt estate in North Carolina.
 The land grabs do not threaten the liberties of the people, as yet, but the tendency is vicious. They do threat en the agricultural independence of the people. The tendency ought to be checked before it goes any farther.
 Big business has so manipulated i'm dustry that it is difficult for the small manufacturer to get foothold. The independent shoemaker, the potter, the weaver, of earlier days have gone down before the advance of the great CT factory, or the alliance of manu- facturers we call a trust.
 So far, the independent farming is still common. But, there is con- stant concentration of land in fewer hands, and that means more tenants and more 'wageworkers in agricultur- al pursuits.
 Many economists believe that unless there is swift governmental interfer' ence. agriculture will follow the dev eiopment industry has undergone That means the land will be in tho hands of few men. The capitalist farmer directing the job from thu farm office will extort the lions share of the profit, of course. The man who blows and sows and reaps will have to fight for living wage.
 There has been so much discussion of industrial ills, that the land ques tion, being less acute, has not receiv s
 ed the attention it should have. Blu it will come. The people are begin ming to think. Single tax agitators no matter what we may think of theil cure, are doing the country grea service by calling attention to evils il land ownership:
 The government is getting the trus situation pretty we'll in hand, and th' labor unions, reinforced by working people and by growing sentimen ampng all classes for more substan tlal justice. are getting a fairer wage AS soon as this situation become less acute, the land problem is goini to come in for its share of examina ton. II cannot be too soon. South s West American.
