Thoughts For The Times
Man is a Land Animal. When the land question is discussed, people in general think of farmers. They have not caught the great truth that the question is not really one of land, but one of values. The problem lias to do altogether with the just and righteous disposition of the values that are created by society as distinguished from those created by individual workers, and they think of farmers as those who use the most land/ though the values we are thinking of accumulate chiefly in the towns and cities. These values register themselves on land, though they are in no case inherent in it either in town or country. But the point, at present is that every human being, if he is to live must live on land somewhere. It is by no means a question only of farmers. —J.W.B.
