yiEXICo's GAIN AND OUR LOSS

The Public, New York:
Il l. 4 far cry from Morgantown,
West Virginia, seat Of the State Uni
vsrsity. 20 Mexico. But recent de-
vslopments show how one act Of petty
tyranny in Morgantown indirectly
helped to lay foundation for eco
romic freedom in Mexico.
SIX years ago the regents of West
Vriginia's University arbitrarily dis
missed Professor Robert B. Brinsmade
- head of the department of mining
engineering, because he had displeased
the powers in control by presiding At
q public meeting addressed by Henry
George, Jr.
Professor Brinsmade found a de-
rard in Mexico for his services as
mining engineer, and located there.
HI. found time to take note of econo-
mic conditions and to write and pub
Ish q book, "Latifundismo Mexicano, -
wherein he made clear the cause and
cure Of Msxico's troubles The book
obtained favorable reception from
the Intelligent leaders of the reyolu-
tiDn. who could judge a proposition on
it merits even though il came from
4 foreigner.
4 number of the students of Pro-
fossor Brinsmade's book were prom
ircnt in the Constitutional Convention
and some provisions of the new con-
st.tution bear a striking resemblance
TO recommendations he had made
The convention did not establish the
Single-tax, but it paved the way by
declaring it 10 be the right Of the ma
ton to control private landed pro-
perty so as to develop and conserve
natural resources and ensure an equit-
able distribution of wealth" All min
cral and oil deposits are declared to be
the unalienable property of the Gov
eminent, only to be acquired by pri-
vate enterprises through leaseholds.
Another provision requires that in
case of appropriation of private real
estate the price paid the owner shall
not exceed the last assessed value for
taxation plus the value of improve
mcnts added since the tax valuation.
McNico's statesmen prove better judg-
os OF economic truth than West Vir-
giuia's university trustees.
There is more to be drawn from this
incident than the mere fact that an
injury to West Virginia turned out TO
be 4 help to Mexico. 1t shows to what
extent the United States loses the
services of its ablest thinkers in uni
versities subject 10 plutocratic con-
troll Professor Brinsmade is but one
OF long list of professors who have
been penalized for Independent think
ing on economic lines. To this the
fact may be due that when Congress
found itself in need of an economic
expert in framing revenue bill it
had TO be content with one of an in
ferior quality. A comparison Of re-
suits of help given to Congress by
Professor Seligman with results OBJ
tanned by the Mexican Convention
from Professor Brinsmade is enough
to show that Mexico gained valuable
asset which we might have retained.
