Land Rental Reform Advocated to End Monopolies in Australia
Mr Charles Hobba visited Manila to argue for Henry George doctrines, denouncing land monopoly and heavy taxation. He urged replacing taxes with ground rents to unlock unused land, lower costs, boost production, and reduce unemployment. He cited railways, sugar bounties, and tariff protection as distortions, urging closer settlement freed from crushing taxation.
