If one may believe some fjgUrt|
given out at Washington, Mexico i
not the only country in which the
land question presents a problem of
great difficulty, say the Philadelphia
Record. There are parts of the Unit-
ed States in which the situation j|.
ready seems to have become acute
notably California. Large holdings
of land arc so rare in the Eastern
States that it is difficult for us to re
alize how far the policy of concen
tration has been carried in the West
In California, indeed, it is asserted
that a single syndicate controls one-
seventh of the state—a truly Mexican
condition of affairs, if the statement
is true. This assertion is made by a
Washington correspondent of the
Boston T ranscript, who gives these
interesting details of some unusual
larg’e land holdings:
According to the competent student
of the subject, who has verified his
facts with great care, William Ran-
dolph Hearst’s 1,000,000-acre rauyh in
Mexico is a very small holding com
pared to some of the. immense land
holdings in the hands of Americans
in the United States. For example
the Miller and Lux estate in Califor
nia has 14,500,000 acres, or about one-
seventh of the state of California. In
Florida according to this same
authority, three men own 4,200,000
acres, thus rivaling if not going be
yond, the holdings of the Maderos.
Court records have brought out the
fact that in the same state 182 men
own 16,900,000 acres, or about half of
Florida.
In seven states of the Union,
names however, not given, 1802 hold
ers own 89,652,000 acres of land. The
Southern Pacific. Railroad owns con
cessions to the total amount of 13,-
879.932 acres, while the Union Pa
cific Railroad, closely related to the
Southern, owns 975,127 acres, An
idea of the territorial extent of the
acreages owned by these two rail
roads may be understood when it is
said that their land equals in extent
the areas of Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Delaware. Another great holding is
that of the Weyerhauser lumber in
terests, which own, in two states
alone, over a million and a half acres.
In California one man is recorded as
the owner of 125,000 acres. Only a
few months ago a witness appeared
in Washington before the House
committee on Public Lands and testi
fied that he personally was the pro
prietor of 3,000,000 acres in Texas.
Concentration of a similar sort, but
not so alarming in its extent, exists
in the State of Louisiana, where a
group of ten men have been discover
ed to be the possessors of 440,000
acres.

Big Values In
Used Cars.
“ A used car brought from
the Winton Company is
worth 30 per cent more than
its duplicate anywhere else."
We hear this statement every
day. The reason is plain
when it is remembered that
no traded-in car is offered
here for sale until it has been
thoroughly overhauled in our
own shops by Winton experts
and brought up to the Winton
standard of automobile ex
cellence.
If you can appreciate what
this enhanced
value means
you will send NOW for our
complete
list
of high-grade
“ used" car bargains.
It goes without saying
that a re-built car of high
grade manufactured
w h i c h
has been operated only 10 per
cent of its real mileage, that
can be purchased at 50 per
cent of tne original price will
prove far more satisfactory
and much less expensive than
a cheap car bought new.
" Very little money will NOW
buy one of these rebuilt cars
that will give the best satis-
, faction in both service and
