LAND TAXES.

The lntelligencer may be late but
u hastens to commend the suggestion
or Col. J. J. Swope OF WEIGH. relative
10 increased taxation OF corporations
holding enormous acreages OF land
In West Virginia. At the present
time. ten companies hold -2,sO0. 900
acres OF West Virginia land. II "a
good policy TO break up these enor-
nous land holdings. II is good policy
TO prevent the monopolization OF land
by spectators. whether they live in
or outside OF the state. Col. Swope
suggests tax of ten cents per acre
on holdings Of 10000 acres. This
would seem to be a most modest tax
IL might well be increased to two
or three times that figure. In the
northern counties OF West Virginia
large land holdings is unknown. The
corporation holding a large tract OF
land is inimical to public interest.
IL retards development. 1t limits
the growth OF good citizenship. IL
takes from all the people what prop
erly belongs TO all the people. The
Intelligencer heartily commends the
proposed tax. and believes II will.
meet the warm approval OF a very
large majority OF our citizens.
