PHILLIPS, William A. LABOR, LAND AND LAW A Search for the Missing Wealth of the Working Poor
New York Scribner's 1886 First Edition Cloth Very Good No Jacket
Congressman Phillips was an anti-slavery journalist with the New York Times before he was a founder of Salina, Kansas. After commanding the 3rd Indian Regiment in the Civil War, he transferred his radicalism to economic matters. LL&L analyzes land tenure laws across the globe, then repudiates the Henry George school of thought. Phillips' program advocates "a graduated land tax for the purpose of reducing the size of holdings, preservatioin of public timber and reforestation of cut-over land, lease of grazing rights on public domain in tracts large enough to support a family, reservation in the public interest of subsoil rights to minerals, ... graduated taxation of large fortunes and inheritances, and regulation of public utilities -DAB." Ex libris Will A. Bowles. Scarce. 001276
