The piece lists owners and land holdings including Vanderbilt with 2,000,000 acres, Disston 4,000,000, Murphy 4,000,000, the Schenney estate 200 acres yielding 1,000,000 annually, and Standard Oil with about a million acres. It notes 21,000,000 acres owned by foreign nobles, 211,000,000 owned by railroad companies, and that few lands are taxed beyond one-tenth of value.
