Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Land and Land Policy: Speeches, Lectures, and Miscellaneous Writings The most important matter in this collection is that with which it opens - Our Land and Land Policy - given to the public for the first time since its original limited publication in 1871, when its author was only locally known in San Francisco as a newspaper writer. It en gaged, with other work, four months in the writing, and was Mr. George's first attempt to set forth the essentials of his philosophy. Of it he said long afterwards: Some thing like a thousand copies were sold, but I saw that to command attention the work must be done more thor oughly. The work was done more thoroughly in Prog ress and Poverty eight years later. To that celebrated book Our Land and Land Policy bears the relation of acorn to oak. Mr. George towards the end of his life con templated republishing the little work, believing that it might interest many whom the larger book would not atfirst reach. Death intervened between the plan and its carrying out. Mr. George thought of making such changes in Our Land and Land Policy as in his opinion would fit it more nearly to the present times, but as his was the only hand that could properly do this, is here pre sented precisely as he published 1871.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... over estimated it, and for an obvious reason. A trne statement of the real value of the grant would tend to discredit the whole affair in the eyes of the cautious foreign capitalists, from whom the Company seeks to borrow money, for they would not believe that any Government could be extravagant enough to make such a donation. But it must be remembered that the line of the Northern Pacific passes for nearly its whole length through as fine an agricultural country as that of Illinois; that its grant consists, in large part, of immensely valuable timber and mineral land, and that it will build up town after town, one of them at least, a great commercial city, on its own soil. Furthermore, for reasons before stated, the increase in the value of land during the next twenty years must be much greater than it has been in the last twenty years. Taking these things into consideration, is it too much to say that in twenty years from now the lands of the Company will have sold for or will be worth an average of at least $20 per acre? At this rate the grant amounts to over half a million dollars per mile, or in the aggregate to the enormous sum of $1,160,000,000--a sum more than half the National debt. This donated absolutely to one corporation. And for what? For building a road which cannot cost more than eighty millions, and for building it for themselves! No keener satire upon our land grant policy could be written than that which is to be found in the published advertisement of this Northern Pacific Company. The Directors show that if they get an average of but $2 per acre for their land, they can pay the whole cost of building and equipping the road and have a surplus of some $20,000,000 left. That is to say, the Government might have built...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Land System: 1785-1820 It is the purpose of this study to show how the national public lands passed into private ownership during the first great period of our land system. It is concerned, therefore, only with the disposal of the lands by the nation, it does not presume to discuss the uses to which the lands were put. It considers the land grants for education, for example, merely as a way in which great areas passed from the public domain to the control of the States; it does not work out the management of those grants. In short, it deals with the origin of the public domain and with every form of disposition which was in use before 1820.

Download or read book Our Land Land Policy written by Kenneth C. Wenzer and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 1999-12-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the publication of Progress and Poverty in 1879, San Francisco political economist and publisher Henry George (1839-1897) had written extensively about what he considered to be the causes for worldwide economic inequity—land monopolization and speculation by wealthy entrepreneurs and corrupt politicians. But his attacks on these evils were coupled with a plan for a possible brighter future, for a world in which disparities between people of different classes could be adjusted. By the time he died in 1897, his assessments of liberal 19th-century economic theory were critically acclaimed in Europe and the United States. Michigan State University Press's new edition of Our Land and Land Policy includes the texts of speeches George delivered and essays he published during three decades of political activism. These pieces were chosen originally in 1901 by George's son, Henry George, Jr., to portray the expansiveness and depth of his father's philosophy and the sincerity with which the elder George struggled throughout his life for social justice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reform of the Land Laws; Conservation of National Resources: Extracts From Recommendations of the President, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Etc The boundaries of the national forest reserves unavoidably include certain valuable timber lands not owned by the Government. Im portant among them are the land grants of various railroads. For more than two years negotiations with the land-grant railroads have been in progress looking toward an arrangement by_ which the forest on railroad lands within national forest reserves may be preserved by the removal of the present crop of timber under rules prescribed by the Forest Service, and its perpetuation may be assured by the trans fer of the land to the Government without cost. The advantage of web an arrangement to the Government lies in the acquisition of lands whose protection is necessary to the general welfare. The advantage to the railroads is found in the proposal to allow them to. Consolidate their holdings of timber within forest reserves by ex? Change after deeding their lands to the Government and thus to out within a limited time solid bodies of timber instead of alternate eetions, although the amount of timber in each case would be the same. It is possible that legislation will be required to authorize this or a similar arrangement with the railroads and other owners. If so. I recommend that it be enacted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Hundred Million Acres: The Public Lands and Resources The Federal Government has assumed many new responsibilities since Lincoln's time, and will probably assume more in the future when the States and local communities can not alone cure abuse or bear the en tire cost of national programs, but there is an essential principle that should be maintained in these matters. I am convinced that where Federal action is essential then in most cases it should limit its responsibilities to supplement the States and local communities, and that it should not assume the major role or the entire responsibility, in replacement of the States or local government. To do otherwise threatens the whole foundation of local government, which is the very basis of self-government.
