Private Ownership of Land

TO the Editor Of the EvenfnD Public Ledger:
Sir-While it is hardly possible that

ants League will need, for the purpose
OF a home, so large or expensive a plot
of ground as that receHtly sold for $500, e
600, located at Nineteenth and Walnut
streets, the fact remains that the same
system which compels the payment of
so heavy a tribute in this case will oper-
ate against them in the acquisition Of
their more modest dwellings.
Five hundred thousand dollars or
$25, 900 year in tribute is demanded
before a spadeful of earth is turned in
erecting a place which will house posi-
bly, 800 or 600 people. Eight hundred,
dollars or $40 per year will be demanded
before a spadeful of earth is turned in
erecting a place which will house pos
sibly FIVE or six people.
II the system which allows this pri
vate collection of publicly created value

tangible nature to the production of
dwellings / would have no fault to find
with the attitude of many members of

glorious expectancy The promises that
will soon be flooding the ntmospher.
from the tongues Of the candidates Of
the old political parties. The tenant
will be told that he is a splendid fellow,
that he is pillar of strength in our

he has been shamefully abused by that
vile, grasping monster. the profiteering
landlord.
The old party candidate. between his
malcdictions on the head of the profit

tenant, will draw the teeth and clip
the claws of the aforesaid monster, but
| venture to say that not one of them
will as much as mention the one only
plan or method which will not only
draw and clip, but will absolutely de
stroy the monster by destroying that on
which he lives-private ownership Of
land.
If the tenant finds. after careful
perusal Of the long list of political par
ties which will appear on the left hand
column Of his ballot sheet. he cannot find
one which is pledged to the annihilation
Of private ownership of land by taking
the rent of land for public purposes and
for the relief of the tenant, then his
case is hopeless and the sooner he makes
terms with the landlord the better it will
be. Listening to and considering laws
or plans which the old parties will in
troduce may get the tenant "up in

fall to the ground will be certain and
sure as well as frightfully disastrous.
