What is the effect of this concen tration of land in the hands of the few? "Land Is the mother and labor the father of wealth," a distinguished economist has written. Land concen trated in a few hands increases th problem of poverty, which Mr. Horace B. Samuel defines as "the eoonomio discomfort occaekiDed to vast masses of the population by the unequal dis tribution of wealth." The use of the land is necceeaxy for economic produc tion, whether agricultural or indus trial, and for boosing, whether in city or country. Tne whole trend of civili sation Just now W away from agricul ture and toward indtartrtaMsm. In. England this tendency is moat marked. Leas than nine per oent. of the popu lation of BnfhtDd are now engaged in agriculture, 900,090 hwrtng abandoned the farm in the knt tan yean, a many leaving th farm In a single, decade aa the eochw uunsher of farm, owners in the ataae of MlaeoorL In. the United State one put ami In three1 ia engaged in axrk-titture m noma form; in all QMwt BrUata and laetand only one in ten is so engaged, and thai proportion is gaowtag rtMj leas. The general tendettcy of the ftnalon, to quote the signlAca-rt and manaured words of Mr. Aaqutth. the British prime minister, is "a praooss of deple tion at one end and epuawsttui at the other, by which tn wry. year fwah ad ditiona of recruits arc betog made to. the ranks of thw eaqoal and uhn ployod." Land Hogging Spawns Great Evils. Land concentration in Great Britain pJ J fcv O J IMMIMIi ffKaSaSJ FN GREAT BRITAIN. has promoted agrtcuttwal depression, low wages, unemployment and dlsooa tent "It Is notorious," said a city of London barrister, "that large aveee of land which might be wtth advantage farmed by dean-able tenants wilting to pay a fair market rent are kept back by owners, who either stt on the prop erty in fine hope of being anaamwity afcte to batch a higher price, or pre serve it for the purpose of game or ornament for reasons of social pres tige or sheer sporting instinct The extent of this retention of land is con clusively evidenced by the numerous applications that flow in for every farm that Is thrown upon the market and by the freouent abortive endeav ors by actual or would-be small farm ers to obUIn at current market rate new or additional land for agricultur al purposes." The evils of this state of affairs are manifest Not only are many persons thus deprived of the employment which otherwise they would be enjoying, but this swelling of the ranks of the unemployed, some of whom remain in the country and some go to the cities, tends to diminish wages, and, so far as farm products are concerned, to Increase prices. Poverty, taxation, agriculture, unem ployment housing, the whole economy of the social system, are affected by the land problem. Very "Soft" for Nobe Duke. The unnecessary burden which falls upon industry by landlordism in the form of mining royalties is another evil result. Mr. Lloyd-George, the Lib eral chancelor, estimated it at $40, 000,000 a year. The average amount of royalty on iron ore is 60 cents a ton on every ton brought to the surf ace and 18 cents on coal. This is paid to landlords for mining royalties hi addition to ordinary leases or "dead rents," In British phrase. Of the ooal mines visited one example will suf fice. A ooal mine operating com pat: y fourteen years ago sank the mine at an expense of $2,500,000, and, although as yet no coal has been taken out, the company has paid in mining royalties to the duke of Newcastle more than of Norfolk's Estate. $300,000. Nearby is a quarry from which the landlord drew (7,000 for the clay extracted. As in agriculture and in mining, so in the towns for factory and business sites the land concentration makes for higher burdens. Some ooncreta in stances, vouched for by Mr. U. R. Stockman, who has made a study of the question, will show the result. "The obvious creator of land wealth," said that canny Scotchman, Andrew Carnegie, "is not the individual, but the community." Mr. Balfour, in an address in the house of commons, said: "The value of all land, any where, Just as the value of a railway, wherever it may be and by whomso ever it was made, by the state or by private individuals, the value of thla, as well as of every other kind of prop erty, depends upon the community." But to whom does the unearned incre ment go? Unearned Fortunes for Landlords. In fifty years the ground rent of the town of Burton-on-Trent increased from 110,000 to $360,000. An absentee owner, the marquis of Anglesey, a landlord receives this rent. Uk local taxes or rates asa $389. . Sheffield, one of the greatest manu taoturtng cities in England, is owned, in greater part by the duke of Nor folk. A dry goods merchant in that city held a lease on land at $?S a year. Seven years before the lease would have expired the duke granted a renewal on condition that the ten ant surrendered the unexpired past of the lease, paid . $T50 a year rent fa stead of $75, spent $5,000 in lrotpcwtag the building and continued to pay all the taxes. A large part of the ground upon which London's buildings stand is owned by certain rich peers. Land is not sold by them, but leased or rented. The renter erects, at his own expense, such buildings as he needs, and pays all the taxes. When his lease expires he must pay the increased rent which his own Improvements make possible to charge, or else move, abandoning his own building. Some recent sales show the almost fabulous price which the absentee landowner receives when he does sell London real estate in the mere favored sections. What is Great Britain t do about ItT Democracy, Which ia, or at least should be, the police man and the part ner of industry, is already in the Unl feat Kingdom doing something and plans to do move. "Let well enough alone" no longer satisfies, much less "let bad alone, test the change bring National Ownership Makes Headway. Three general plans of land reform hare been seriously considered, and eaoti, to a degree, has been adopted. The three plans are nationalization of the land, the small holdings policy, and taxation. Twenty years ago the great Gladstone said: "If the time oomes when the British nation finds that the land should be nationalized, and it is wise to do It, they have a perfect right to do so." Nationaliza tion, which means the ownership by all the people of all the land. Is open ly talked. Indeed, it Is put into prac tical effect to a degree in government purchase and ownership in the land purchase acts. That striking form of nationalization known as the single tax, which "prides itself on being ef fected without compensation and by the confiscation by the state of eco nomic rent," hoe many strong advo catoe. Rent being a value created by thp whole community, say its support ers, should belong to the whole com munity. All economic rent, the rent of the actual land apart from the Im provements, Is unearned increment The single taxers would confiscate not the land to the state, but the rent Compulsory Sale and Leasing. Another form of land nationalization is considered, though not seriously. This involves the taking over of all the land by the state, with compensa tion to the landlord. Small holdings by compulsory purchases and small holdings by compulsory leasing are other plans actually pursued. Under these schemes the landlord is com pelled to sell or lease small acreages for actual farm use. Land hire by the state and land purchase are involved in this general scheme. A more dras tlo measure has just been proposed by Mr. Will Thorne on the house of com mon. Under the Thorne bill it would be illegal for any person to hold. In ag ricultural districts, any land, exceed ing fifty acres in extent in a waste or uncultivated state, unless It shall not be possible to cultivate such land at a profit or unless it shall have been devoted to some purpose of publla utility. "A Taij to Burst Land Monopoly." The real attack upon the evils of the present land ownership, the one about which the fiercest contention has ta ken place, is that in Lloyd-George's budget of taxation. Many forms of land taxation have been proposed, considered and, occasionally, adopted. Land value taxation, in some form, en ters into discussion everywhere. This new land taxation, however, recently carried into effect by the Liberal gov ernment, is not a tax to raise revenue, but to quote the pungent phrase of the chancelor of the exchequer In pro posing it "a tax to burst the land monopoly." TUs new system of taxa tion included five per cent duty on mining royalties, a taxation of gifts of nature or windfalls. It Included a tax on the capital value of unworked min erals, thus stimulating the exploitation of mines hitherto unworked. The im portant principles of the new taxation, however, are involved in the incre ment tax. the tax on undeveloped building land and on leasehold rever sions. Under these sections two tax values are placed on land, the site value and the improved value. Tha tendency of the tax, as shown by its actual workings, is to bring more building land into the market thus relieving oongeetion In the cities and the country. Under the system of long lease holds, which is peculiar to Great Bri tain, the owner of the freehold ob tains, on the expiration of the lease its "falling In," to employ an English phrase "a property which has sub stantially increased in value by reason of the general growth of the commun ity and independently of any expendi ture of labor or enterprise on the part of tne owner." The budget levies ten per cent duty up -.n the margin by which the lease hold has appreciated since it was last granted. Agricultural leases are ex empt from this duty, as are all leases made withm the last twenty-one years. 20 Per Cent. Increment Duty. "Founded on the same principle,'' pointed out Mr. Horace B. Samuel, in discusalng this effort to burst tha land monopoly, "la xba actual increment duty Haeif. This is a duty of 20 per cetat, levied at death, on transfer, or at nerats of fifteen years (about the average period at which all land in the Catted Kingdom, through one cause hands) on the so- Supplementary to these Beeel forms of taxation regard ed by many to.

Rankin Outlines New Meth ods of Health Work That Dublic health work should be. standardized for the greatest efficien cy of service is the new and progress ive opinion of Dr. W. S. Raplan. He believes this principle, that is as old as the knowledge of weights and meas ures, is the fundamental basis upon which rests the success of all future nublic health work. As similarity of conditions determines more or less the feasibility of such a method, he rec ommends that the county be taken as a unit and as an initiative point. As the county is the field of elec tion, the first essential toward stand ardization, then, is necessarily an ef ficient health official a health-work specialist havi: ; practice and skill. Dr. Rankin in recommending a course of practical training for health of ficials, gives the tentative plan of the North Carolina State Board of Health to illustrate the principle. To the new health officers a course of practical training consisting of six or seven months will be given. The course is as follows: (a) State Health Administration or State Health Laws ana Policies, four weeks. During this course the apprentice is assistant to the execu tive officer of the Board, answers as much of the official mail as he can, and is referred to and quizzed upon the proper literature. (b) Vital Statistics, four weeks. During this time the apprentice is given actual experience in every phase of the work of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, is referred to proper references on Vital Statistics and is required to study and criticize the vi tal statistics table appearing in vari ous reports. (c) Popular Sanitary Education, three weeks. During this course the apprentice is required to prepare ar ticles for the Bulletins and press ser- vice, to study exhibits, slides and lan-fof terns, and to act as assistant to the Bureau Chief. (d) Tuberculosis, four weeks. Dur ing this time the apprentice assists the State Sanatorium and in the Bu reau for Tuberculosis and is assigned the proper reading and is given quiz zies upon it (e) Laboratory, four weeks. Dur ing this time the apprentice will di the routine examination of the State Laboratory and be quizzed on the in terpretation of water analysis and up on enidemilogical Drocedure. (f) County Health Work six weeks. During this time the appren tice will serve as assistant to an ef ficient county health officer- and will be sent to see special phases of coun ty health work in different counties. On the completion of this six or seven months practical course, a cer tificate of proficiency in public health work signed by the President and Ex ecutive Staff of the Board will be giv en the apprentice.
