Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case for Land Nationalisation There is, however, one aspect of the land question to which I wish to call special attention, because it involves matters of principle which should never be lost sight of when proposed reforms are being discussed in Parliament. In his second chapter, entitled "A Cloud of Witnesses" Mr. Hyder has given us a more complete and valuable exposition of the opinions of our greatest lawyers, political writers, and advanced thinkers, as to the actual status and strict limitations of modern land-holders, than any previous writer. These authorities date from Sir Thomas Littleton in the reign of Richard III., through Sir Edward Coke, a contemporary of Shakespeare, Sir William Blackstone in his Commentaries on the Laws of England in the early Georgian era, and a long succession of other authorities down to the present day, including such men as Adam Smith, Paley, Coleridge, J. S. Mill, Ruskin, and Tolstoy, who all declare, in most positive and assured terms, that there is and can be, according to the law and constitution of England enforced by principles of natural justice and morality, no such thing as absolute property in land. And there is really no exception to this general statement - no one great thinker, or writer, or lawyer, or moralist, who can be quoted on the other side. They all maintain that no individual can absolutely own land, and, further, that all the gifts of kings or parliaments cannot alter this great principle of law and natural justice, notwithstanding the claims and usurpations of landlords or the deeds of lawyers which often imply the contrary. Yet, strangely enough, our rulers in Parliament have allowed this wicked and illogical power of unrestricted ownership to be upheld by a body of lawyers and judges who, though they must be familiar with the opinions of the authorities referred to, continually reiterate the contrary. They tell us that there is not one yard of English soil which has not an absolute owner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Nationalisation: The Key to Social Reform The land question is the most important item of any programme of national reform, for the land is the key to social reconstruction, but land questions are difficult to follow and are consequently unpopular. If his views were to find expression, the average man, if buttonholed by an ardent land reformer, would probably say something like this: "Yes, I agree that the question of land reform is of enormous importance; you may be right that the only way out of the difficulties that surround us and the only way of reducing the cost of living is to get more out of the land, and that the only way of getting the most out of the land is far the nation to own it; but to prove that to me you have got to do something more than give me a long string of complaints about the present system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Mother Earth: A Short Statement of the Case for Land Nationalisation One gleam of sunshine there was, however, something over a hundred years ago, on the eve of the introduction of machinery and the final swoop on the common lands. Cloth being all made by hand could not be made fast enough, and gave employment to any number of weavers, who, making their own piece of cloth with the aid of their family, and generally being surrounded with a few acres Of land, lived in considerable comfort. Prosperity in trade had, in fact, for the moment checked the power of the landowning classes to keep wages down to starvation point, just as it does in the case Of skilled labour at present. But there were other contributing causes as well at this period. There had been great improvements in agriculture, and much labour was required and money spent on the large estates to improve them. So what with the great demand for their labour and their still-possessed common rights, the agricultural labourers shared the general prosperity, and wages were very much higher in most parts of the country than they are even now.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Colonist's Plea for Land Nationalisation It is not interest on the purchase-money, for interest is pay ment for the use of capital, and comes out of the use. Who would expect interest on money tied up in an old rag? There has been no use here. It is not compensation for risk, for the land could not disappear or deteriorate, and was sure to be wanted. It may be quite right for all that, that I should have it. That is not the point at present. The point at present is simply to explain the term, and to show not only what it directly means, but what it indirectly implies, for it implies a great deal - much more than most people have any idea of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nationalisation of the Land Up till recent years no such phrase as the Nationalisation of the Land was heard in England. It is doubtful if the idea it conveys was even intelligible to the mass of the people. In other countries it may possibly have been used as a symbol of extreme socialistic theories, but to all intents and purposes it is only within the last three or four years that the group of ideas indicated by this novel term has taken any hold of the average British mind. It can, however, no longer be said that those ideas lie outside the scope of public discussion: though it is true that very few of our leading statesmen have deigned to notice them, and, though few publicists of any weight have lent their advocacy to the cause, it cannot be denied that they are making way among considerable classes of the community, especially the artizans of our great towns. This rapid progress is no doubt owing very much to the wide circulation of that remarkable book by Henry George, of America, entitled "Progress and Poverty," a book which I shall treat in this paper as the chief exponent of those views. It appears to me that our leading statesmen must no longer keep silence on this subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Nationalization and Land Taxation Three schools of Land Nationalizers. - These varying types of landownership are under present conditions mere matters of convenience determined by private bargaining. But as soon as it is proposed to substitute national for in dividual ownership, the determination of the character of the ownership to be created becomes a question of fundamental importance. Is the State to claim the revenue of the land alone, or the direction alone, or is it to claim both revenue and direction? The question is variously answered by three schools of Social reformers. The school that draws its inspiration from the writings Of Mr. Henry George is anxious only to secure the revenue of the land. By gradually increasing taxation this school would transfer all land reve nues from the present proprietors to the nation. With the control of the land they would not interfere. Another school of land nationalizers, led by Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace, take exactly the opposite view. In their opinion, to interfere with the monetary rights of the present owners would be unjustifiable all they care about is the power to control the use of the land. This power they would transfer to the State, and at the same time guarantee to the dis possessed landholders a permanent income calculated on their present receipts. Lastiv, we have the socialists, who want both the revenue and the control. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Nationalization Ownership involves two distinct rights - By way of further clearing the ground, it is well at once to emphasize an important distinction connected with the right of owner ship, which will have to be more fully considered later on. Behind all the varied forms of ownership there lie two rights - the right to derive a revenue from the land, and the right to determine the use to which the land shall be put. It is mainly on the extent to which these two independent rights are retained in the same hand that the differences in the forms of ownership depend. The farmer Occupying his own freehold enjoys in his own person both rights. The equitable owner of a fully mortgaged estate parts with the revenue of the land, but retains the right of direc tion. The ground landlord of an estate let on building leases gives up the right of direction but retains the revenue. An intermediate type of landlord, in practice very numerous, retains, 'in addition to the revenue, a partial control over his land by letting it for short terms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community of Property: Nationalization of Land I think a few considerations may be not out of place at present, on that scheme of the hour which, in laudable aspiration for the extinction of all human want, would propose to realize at last the equality of mankind through that community of property that Plato fabled. It is a big subject, and I do not propose new to do more than break ground on it, with a few remarks as well on general principles as on what the newspapers make salient at present. In these, for example, I read three or four days ago the report of a speech by Mr Henry George. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Nationalisation Its Necessity and Its Aims: Being a Comparison of the System of Landlord and Tenant With That of Occupying Ownership in Their Influences on the Well-Being of the People Although so much has been written on the land-ques tion, I am not aware of any single work which summarises the evidence and discusses the results of our system of land tenure as compared with that of other civilised countries, in its bearing, not upon landlords and tenants alone but on all classes of the community; and I therefore venture to think that everyone who has at heart the advancement of the social condition of our people, and who feels the disgrace of our position as at once the wealthiest and the most pauperised country in the world, will hnd much to interest, and perhaps to instruct, in this small volume.
