thinks are needed and proposes. He thinks 

 it a monstrous wrong that so few men should 

 hold so vast a proportion of the property 

 and domain of the country as is in the pos- 

 session of the corporations affd the relatively 

 small group of wealthiest men ; that the sys- 

 tem of interest is wrong ; that the monetiza- 

 tion of gold is a mistake and contributes 

 to the growth of parasitism ; and that the 

 protective system is unjustly oppressive. 

 His plan of reform includes nationalization 

 of land, railroads, waterways, and telegraphs 

 by purchase, the certificates issued in pay- 

 ment for these franchises to constitute our 

 money ; the value of the money to be regu- 

 lated by a land-tax rate, and its volume to be 

 maintained on a uniform per capita basis 

 and to be of such amplitude as to avoid pre- 

 miums ; the demonetization of money metals 



and the redemption of all coin money and 

 paper obligations in the new lawful money ; 

 the natiouahzation of banks and the estab- 

 lishment of a bank service charge in lieu of 

 interest ; the repeal of all tarifp, excise, and 

 internal revenues, to be replaced by the land 

 tax ; maintenance of a public improvement 

 fund ; the removal of all public service out 

 of the reach of partisan influence or inter- 

 ference ; and selective immigration. 



From a study of The True Route of Coro- 

 nado^s March (1540) through New Mexico and 

 the intervening districts to the Arkansas 

 River, in the light of the writings of the period, 

 F. S. Dellenbach has come to conclusions 

 entirely at variance with those of all previous 

 investigators. His paper is very interesting 

 for this reason and in itself.
