A LAND POLICY

Most of the land-reform programs, beginning with those of the extreme
conservatives, _laissez-faire_ theorists of various schools, and ending
with those of the extreme radicals, anarchists, and socialists of various
leanings, are primarily concerned with the question of land ownership.

WIDE RANGE IN PROGRAMS

state ownership, and in Switzerland canton ownership.

3. Municipalization or communalization; land

cultivators on the basis of individua
