CHRISTIAN HAWAIIAN NATIONAL PATRIOTS WERE EXCOMMUNICATED FOR SUPPORTING OUR QUEEN! ******** RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND CORPORATIONS HOLDINGS OF LAND..... Mr. GROSVENOR. Does this amendment propose to limit the amount of land which can be held by an individual? Mr. NEWLANDS. This amendment does not, because it is an amendment to a section which relates to the organization of cor porations, and if it included individuals it might be subject to a point of order. It provides that no corporation shall own exceed ing 1,000 acres of land......As I stated before, almost every war of any great extent, almost every revolution, has had its foundation in a revolt against the monopoly of land, whether that monopoly was held by the feudal barons or whether it was held by the nobility or by the church. Numerous revolts all over this continent and all over the European continent have taken place against the large holdings of the religious organizations, and it seems to me that it is wisdom now to put in this bill at the starting point comprehensive legislation upon this subject.
