LESSON OF NEW ZEALAND.
N
EW ZEALAND Is an exceeding
ly . Interesting country, , from
political and .'-sociological
points of Tiew, hence what
written about It by a keen observer
and graphic writer v Is read with
avidity. Such a writer is Charles
,, -Edward Russell, whose, articles on
. . this topic attracted much attention.
, .We In the United States are appar-
v ently entering on the consideration
of problems or social plans for us,
and though It might not be advisable
, to duplicate New' Zealand's system,
we may learn valuable lessons from
even o distant and comparatively
small a country.
Surely a country where there are
no multi-millionaires or paupers, no
trusts j or private monopolies, no
'labor disturbances, do need of mili
tia and scarcely any need of police
men, and yet where education is
highly valued , and the people are
generally not only contented but in
telligent, Is worthy of study, and In
'spirit If not In exact practice, worthy
of emulation.
There are In .Tew; Zealand, says
Mr, Russell, no corrupted leglsla
tures, no money mania, no extremes
of conditions, no .. unemployed, no
epidemics, no palaces .looming up in
the midst of destitution, no over
. crowding or pest holes, no tramps or
plutocrats, no boodlers or watered
stock, no grafters or professional re-
formers. In New Zealand the
, "square deal'.' seems to be not merely
a vociferated sentiment or an Ideal
vainly struggled for, but an actual
reality. : Verily, If this be Socialism

In mind one thing; no land monopoly
, is tolerated there. Early in its his
, tory as a British colony New Zealand
adopted the policy of rooting the
people, the wage earners, to the land.
It prevented the acquisition of large
tracts of. land for speculative pur
poses. The government bought up
lands around growing young towns,
or i took them at a fair valuation,
whether the owners wished or not.
And sold them on time in small tracts
to poor people, wor kinsmen. Often
money wasloanefd 'l or the first pay
ment People were not absolutely
prohibited from acquiring large land
. holdings, but a graduated land tax
was , established; , beyond a certain
amount the tax is treble what it is on
small holdings. So a man cannot af
ford to hold vacant land; a man is
not allowed thus to become wealthy
off the enterprise, labor and expen
diture of others.
.-' A great, cosmopolitan country like
ours cannot at once radically change
its political, social and economic
systems, even if it were assuredly
wise to do so; but . there is good
reason to believe that our congress
and legislatures, and courts and ex
ecutives could study New Zealand's
system with profit to the people.
projects. But while ; these great

will unite quickly enough to bead
off any developing enterprise in the
line of railroad building that they
cannot themselves control.'
Now Instead of - the government
buying out, owning and operating
the existing railroads, as Mr. Bryan
suggests as possibly the only way to
break up ' thts gigantic monopoly,'
why may not the government build
Borne new llhesr-as. an experiment

ernment .should build on its own ac
count a railroad from New 'York to i
San Francisco, Portland and Puget
Sound, as a big starter, and an
nounce a policy of building other
roads where needed to break up an
intolerable monopoly or to develop
the resources of a rich but neglected
region: the big railroad monopolists
and stock gamblers would then have
something to think about that they
never considered before.
Why is not this a practicable and
reasonable solution, or at least a
partial solution, of what has become
the greatest Industrial problem of
the time? Let the government start
In on this policy, if even only on a
small scale,, and propose to pursue
and extend It as needed in the peo

LAW ENFORCEMENT.
HE LIQUOR interests of Ohio
are jiuieu wua me nepuoiican
party of that state and aided
materially in carrying the state
at the last election, and so nullifying
to some extent the victory, won in
the election of the late Governor Pat
tison though Oovernbr Herrick's
subservience to Boss Cox contributed
to that result. But the sentiment in
favor of law enforcement, particu
larly in regard to the liquor traffic,
is very active in Ohio, and also in
Kentucky and other states.
Ohio has a law Empowering .the
governor to remove mayors who do
not enforce the law, though on ac
count of defects this has been de
clared void, but the mayors of sev
eral Ohio cities are enforcing the
midnight closing and Sunday law,
which Governor Harris publicly ap
proves.
SAN , FRANCISCO Jury has
found Mayor Schmlts guilty of
receiving money extorted from
French , restaurants, or paid
voluntarily by them,' In considera
tion of their being allowed to con
duct disorderly houses. The twelve
men selected to try the mayor had
no doubt, after hearing the evidence,
of his guilt; neither has the reading
public That Ruef and Schmlts were
engaged In wholesale graft of this
sort, and In connection with the su
pervisors of accepting boodle from
the electric railway, telephone ( and
gas corporations, nobody doubts,
Heney and Burns said long ago that
they had plenty of evidence, and they
are men who know what they are
talking about and don't "talk
through their hats."
Of course there will be an appeal,
and Schmlts will stave off punish
ment for awhile, but the victory of
the people is practically won, and
It Is an Important one. It" will be
a lesson to other mayors and of
ficials. The people are waking up
to the necessity of stopping a'nd pun
ishing boodllng and grafting of all
kinds In official life. Heney's mill
has necessarily ground slowly, for
he had what seemed Insurmountable
obstacles to overcome, but it has
ground surely.
The conviction of Schmlts Is the
beginning of the end of scandalous
boodllng In the hitherto preeminent
ly corrupt city of San Francisco.
Already the air there Is a trifle
purer.
