Result of the Declaration of hide

homa is the best example of individ
ual ownership of land to be found any
where on the face of the earth. The
greatest single movement to bring this
condition was the Declaration of In
dependence. England from whose
control this country separatde by that
declaration had regarded land as a
gift to be given in large tracts by the
king and to be taken away from its
owners at his pleasure with perhaps
the form of bill of attainder. The
English people now recognize that
the revolt of the American colonies
was lesson the mother country
needed but England is still unable to
shake off the feudal bonds that fasten-
ed land by the law of primogeniture
in large tracts.
In the American colonies, there had
been large land grants but with the
end of the law that would keep them
unbroken in the hands of the Oldest
son rapid progress was made in dis
tribution to small holders, The states
having surrendered to the new nation
their claims TO lands, congress made
regulations to transfer title to in
dividuals. Near the time of the
Louisiana purchase including Okla
homa, the beginning of the survey
into what was called congressional
townships gave the largest unit in
which congress conveyed land except
in portions granted before the survey
had reached them as in the case of
Indian tribes. The giving of lands to
assist railroads was really a step to-
ward placing them in the hands of
individuals rapidly for the railroads
found their greatest profit in trans.
ferring to small holders.
The offer of cheap land to the poor
man was the means of bringing to
this country the best immigrants from
all the world. The man who has
land hunger makes the best citizen.
We are proposing to do a good thing
for such citizens now by putting in
operation the rural credit bill which
