HOECK.

The land is the storehouse from which all wealth is drawn. Everything that man uses comes originally from the earth. Therefore the possession of the land means the control of all who live on or from the land. In the beginning the land in England, as in every other country at the start, was held in common by the tribe or tribes that dwelt there. It was common property.

Gradually as tribes or groups of people settled down in villages, the land In and around the village was held by all in it in similar way, that is, as common property. Later, the care, and hence the possession, drifted into the hands of some great family in the tribe, and the various members of the community became dependent upon that family. This was the condition in which William the Conquerer found England in 1066. The families who then held the lands were for the most part forced to surrender them to the new ting, wiuiam proceeded to produce the famous Doniesdav Book which preserves the record of the position and proprietors or yeomen, in return land, and the names of the fav ored Saxon and Norman uarons whom he made presents of these estates. This was the beginning of the formation of the vast estates in tana Deionginp the nobility of England.

William constituted himself the supreme lord of all the land, and the families held their lands of him as tenants and vassals in return for service. HOW XORLKS STARTED IT In turn these nobles grantea the use of certain small lots to their retainers and to peasant proprietors or yoemen, in return for military service in case of war. This is what is known as the feu-; day svstem or feudal tenure ofj land which lasted for some een- turies. But gradually, as trie pop ulation increased, the terms or holding land were altered. The nobles annexed the small holdings; the yeomen to their own estates and only permitted occupancy on payment of a specified rent or feu- duty.

i At the same time the nobles sought to enlarge their estates in ether ways. In Domesday Book many millions of acres were re served as commons. Squatters set tled on these lands and lived on them freely and happily. About the 15th century the first of these commons was enclosed. Then foe three centuries the process of enclosing went on until in 1S67 over eight millions acres -vere taken from the commoners or squatters in this way, and that mostly without the least compensation.

But to whom did this common property go? The landlords be- WEEK BECOMES First Page) Club of America cannot compete races where pilots who are not licensed pilots of the Aero Club! take part. OX THE OT.H RACE TRACK All arrangements have been made to stage the flights on the old racetrack near Los Angeles. The idea of the great aerial tournament, the greatest ever at tempted in America, originated with Dick Ferris, a local theatrical man. Mr. Ferris has been in the theatrical business for many years.

They know him on Broadway. He took his primary course in the ten, twenty and thirty shows and has felt the pulse of the public in all sections of America. In Ixjs' Angeles he struck it rich.

Previous to his renting to the Cnited States Dr. Hoeck was for 10 years lawyer at Glas- gow, Scotland, and for years has been a student of the questions which have brought about the present contest in his native land. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ing paramount in the legislature simply appropriated them to them selves. The lion'a share of the commons secretly became merged in possessions of the lords of the manor. Many of "The Enclosure Acts' were passed during the period of the Napoleonic wars, when a good many of the people interested in them were absent.

Contemporaneously these powerful landlords likewise absorbed many of the church lands. To preserve these estates In their own names and families was the next step. To this end they passed the statute of entails. Thus by absorption of small holdings, church lands, and commons, by intermarriage, and by entail, the land of the many, gradually and permanently, passed into the private ownership of the few. Large estates, the free gift of the crown grew larger, and the small ones disappeared, until a few thousand men practically own the whole of England.

The land in Great Britain is said to be in fewer hands than in any other country. The six hundred peers in the house of lords own about one-fifth of the country. This brief history of land tenure in England shows how the land has been acquired. The titles of that land are not based on Justice or equity, but on robbery, extortion and violence. And this is mostly true df other lands, espe cially older countries.

Even here we are not unfamiliar wmv. me words "land grabbing' and land frauds." It is quite necessary to under stand the origin of landlordism in England to fully appreciate the force of the chancellor of the ex chequer's bill to tax land value? and the powerful opposition of the privileged to it. By nature, by heredity, the people of England are conservative. Right or wronp they love their king, they pride themselves in their aristocracy with all its weaknesses and imperfections, and it will be a ter-l rible trial for most of them to turn against the nobles. But, as we shall see, the nobility has not! been true to the people.

The nobles not only enlarged their es tates until they had exhausted all the available land in the island, but they made the laws such that for centuries they have evaded taxation, and have thus shifted practically the whole burden of the national expenses on the shoulders of the middle and laboring classes. Centuries of injustice cannot be remedied in a day. The day of reckoning, however, has apparently come. And when the attempt is now made to tax land values a little more equitably, and make those who are best able to bear the expense of government pay a Juster proportion then the nation is up in arms and no one can foretell the outcome. The cause of justice may be thwarted for a season; but is bound to triumph in the end.

K. Ashby's house furnishing establishment adjoiu-iwg it. The Ashby store was filled with smoke and steam and for a time Chief Grant feared that there would be an explosion of tha accumulated gases in that building. He ordered all the doors and windows kept closed and Ashby firm stationed guards all entrances to prevent front breaking the doors and windows. Two hours after the fire was under control the smoke and steam was so dense in the Ashby building that it was impossible for men to reach the windows 0:1 the second and third floors.

Several of the employes attempted to make the trip on the elevator but 'were brought down each time almost unconscious. During the progress of the fire the Ashby anuext 310-312 Third-st, was shut off from the main building as much as possible ana due to this precaution the company is still able to conduct business in its annex. COMPAN V1M, NOT BE HAXBlCAPrED Although every article of furniture in the building was more or less damaged, the company will not be seriously handicapped while the adjusters are in charge, as a duplicate stock is kept in the warehouses at Ohio-st and Sec-ond-av and the firm will be able to fill practically any order that is received during the time the store is closed. Two carloads of steel ranges, which had just been placed in the basement of the Ashby building, are today standing in two feet of water. The damage to the ranges will be heavy.

On the first, second and third floors the heaviest damage was from smoke and steam that filtered through the party walls between the two buildings. Tapestries, fine rugs, carpets and upholstered furniture is today Slackened by the dense smoke and Ashby is unable to say how much of the damaged goods can be restored to their original luster. E. K. Ashby, proprietor of the store, this morning-took a Press reporter over the entire building, pointing out the damage that had been done to his 6tock.

"I think a conservatinve sti-mate of our damage will toe from $20,000 to $25,000," Ashby said. "We are fully covered by insurance." FULLY COVERED BY INSURANCE The total fire damage will probably ran close to $120,000. The building occupied by the clothing store is owned by F. J. ReiU.

The damage to the building1 will be in the neighborhood of $10,000. Chief Grant said he did not tnink the damage to the stock of the clothing company would exceed The G. W.
