the land problem was of vast i'm
portance, the government courage
ously took hold Of it. One-third of
the land was owned by landlords who
parceled out their acreage in small
tracts to tenants. When one looks
across the marrow strip that is allot-
ted to single family, because men,
women and children work the fields
together, he realizes low intensive
the effort must be to scrape a bare
living out of the soil. The landlord,
of course, has profited by the close
cultivation of every acre. The land
kings have lived in their stone cas-
tles,s the lords Of all hey surveyed,
and controlled by the idea that if
the peasants were given an oppor-
tunity to- live, the system was equit-
able all round.
Land Monopolies.
Under the existing arrangement no
one man can own more than 25O hec-
tares or 625 acres. The administra-
ton of this law is proceeding slow
ly and constructively. In splitting
up the landed estates, the govern
ment DEGREES the price. There is
nothing arbitrary about it because
the right to appeal is allowed. In
some dispositions recently made of
land Of average fertility, prices ran
as low as $50 an acre. In some in
stances tracts have been divided
with prices running as high as $50
an, acre.
One million, six hundred thousand
acres were owned by the Hapsburgs,
and came to the government. These
will be turned over to the toilers Of
the soil. The payments run over
period of Is years. All oil rights are
