...factors labor and capital must be the cost of reproduction, the number and amount of each being relatively limitless and that, both being relatively mobile, location has little to do with value. But Natural Resources (land) being incapable of reproduction and being immovable, their value depends entirely upon location; and that location--value, in turn, depends upon accessibility and desirability, affected in large part by the expenditure of public money for highways and other public improvements. So it is seen that if we could collect taxes on the basis of land values we probably could take much of the "trouble...

In a movie whose plot depends upon the now rather shopworn world war, he has built up a suspense altogether foreign to most movies of today and managed with rare ability to sustain interest to the end.
