"Third-That one aim of this
bill is to prevent further settlement
of this Western country.
"Fourth-That this bill places a
rental or lease value of only two
cents per acre on all western land,
and as decided land adjoining gov
eminent or homestead land in many
of the counties in this district is SELL
ing today at $500 to $500 per quar-
ter section, and is renting at $40 to
S3o per quarter section and if this
bill becomes law it will depreciate
the commercial as well as the rental
values.
"Fifth-That under the proposed
bill the title does not pass from the
government, and the county and
state derive no benefits, and, fur
ther, that it is legislation in favor of
the few and against the many.
"Sixth-That during the past few
years all properties in Western Kan
sas have wonderfully advanced in
value, and that such bill will de-
preciate these values there is no
question.
"Seventh-Thatw we most earnest
ly ask our senators and congressman
to use every influence in their power
to prevent any such bill as the one
proposed from becoming law, and
fuother, that copo of these reso-
lutions be sent to each of our U. S.
Senators from Kansas and to our
Congressman, Mr.. Long, and that
copy be sent to the Topeka Daily
Capital, The Topeka State Journal,

and the average American does not re-
alize their population and wealth.
France is no six by nine province, eth
er in area or richness. She is one of
tho largest countries Of Europe. She Is
more than four times as big, as New
York or Pennsylvania, five times as big
as. Ohio and over twenty times the size
of Maryland. With single exception,
of Texas, we have no state as large,
and none, I venture, which is uniformly
SO rich in its agricultural products.
France has some of the richest soil of
Europe, and almost every bit of it is
good land 1t ranks next to Germany,
Austria Hungary and Russia in area, and
its rcople are the thriftiest of the whole
European continent
The French Farmers are Rich.
The population of France is more than
B8, 900, 900, or about half as large as that
of the United States. 1t has only about
100000 less people than Great Britain
and Ireland, but there the country is
owned by the lords and the rich. 1t is
one Of vast estates and the host of 1t
Is pasture rather than cultivated farms.
Ind eed. all the farm lands of the United
Kingdom are held by about 10000 men.
In France there are more than 100000
land owners, and the average holding is
less THAI six acres. The French farmers
have always made money. They know
how to till the soil as we'll as, if not bet
Der, than any other people on earth, and
ihey till it so well trat they practically
buoport and feed themselves. They raise
more than 3O0,0O0,000 bushels of whe 1t
every year. and it is only when their crop
Is short that they have to import bread
stuffs from us. About four men out of

French earnings come from the soil.
France grows more wheat in proportion
to its population than any European ma
ton except Russia. Her land has been
EARNED hundreds of years, but by careful,
culture it still yields far more per acre
than ours.
Intensive farming IS carried on almost
everywhe.e. There are market gardens
seattle, cd throughout Northern France
which ship tneir products to England. 1
saw loads of French vegetables in the
markets of London, and when | was at
Manchester last spring the ships were
starting out for he Channel Islands and
Northern France for new potatoes
About 3O.6Oo,OOO pounds of potatoes are
annually shipped from Chebourg to Lon
don. and the first of the crop comes on
as early as February, the potatoes being
raised under glass.
In all FIR it IS estimated that more
than 1,00n,000 acres are devoted to mar
ket gardening, and that the average yield
per acre is more man Sl67 per annum

any in the world. They dress we'll and
spend well, and in wants they furnish
a possible market ten times as great as
all China. with its 5OO,OOOOoO people.
What the French Buy.
Indeed, the French stand high among
the purchasing nations. Their imports
amount to over $2,O0O,00O a day, or to
more than $3.50 000,0O0 a year. This is over
$500. 900 more than our total importa-
tons, and the bulk of the money goes
to the European nations although our
trade is slowly and steadily increasing.
1t has gained about $1S0O00,000 in ten
years, while the gain in Great Britain
and Ireland has been thirteen times as
much.
One reason for this is that the French
are in many things like the Americans.
They show as much taste in finishing
their manufactures as they do in max
ing fancy hats and dresses; they are a
race of inventors, and hence American
novelties are not in so great demand
They believe also in trade protection, and
the Government contracts often specify
that the materials used shall be of French
manufacturer. Nevertheless, the market
is most valuable one and one that
can he worked with great profit. Some
thing of what is now being done will
he seen as L take you through this city
of HdVre.
A Lock at Havre.
IIavre is a typical French seaport. Its
streets are wide, its houses bright and
sunny, it has open places and gardens
in the heart of the town, and its docks
are great stone structures with all modern
convenienees for loading and dis, hars
ing goods. The town has existed since
the days of the Romans, and it has al
ways been n important commercial CEN
ter. The United States had a COnsulats
here as far back as 1900, and today our
consulate, situated on the Place Gam
BETA, in the heart of the city, does as
much business as any other.
Havre now has about 10000 people. The
town lies right on the sea, with high
lands on the east and the Seine on the
west. In coming here from Southampton
my first sight was the abrupt cliffs on
the left of the city. When we came a
little nearer | could see the masts of
the ships inside the docks and then the
low buildings which border the shore.
There is It series of fortincations with
frowning cahpon facing the sea which
guards he entrance, and you steam in
between great stone Quays or docks, just
wide enough for two Atlantic liners to
pass in or out at the same time.
Passing through. We find ourselves in
a great basin which has five entrances
to otner basins or inClos,d cocks. In
deed the docks extend on and on with
SateWays between them, permcatinG al
most every part Of the city. There are
many &C 'es Of them, so made that the
ships can SAIL right up to the warehouses
ana discharE2 their goods and SO that
goods can ne put Ipon the railroads or
on tho canals 70" all parts of France.

the Old World who come to this coun-

gone to the West and Northwest, and
the limited area of cultivatable land in
New England which would be available

the tide of German and Scandinavian
immigrants which has porued into the
,rairies of the West. The abandoned
farms" of New England are being taken
care of gradually byRTnen of wealth, who
find no place for a summer home like
those among the mountains or on the
seashore of New England. Yet in Maine
there are hundreds, even thousands. of
acres of virgin soil which offer oppor-
TURTLES for hemeseekers who are willing
to WELD the axe of the pioneer. In Aroo-
stock County, as large as the State of
Connecticut, has 400 miles of railway

with a climate especially favorable to

area there is a field for the immigration
of those who wish to make farms for
themselves; and. unlike many of the
farms of the West. these are within easy
reach of great markets.

Germany, and for many classes of goods
to Holland and Belgium as well. 1t vies

me some points for American shippers.
| He replied that the market Is, not prop

| our leading American firms.
| "These firms" said Mr.. Thackera.
| have thoroughly studied the subject.
| They have their own agents on the
| ground ard have sytematized their bus
| mess after the French methods. They
| pack their goods as the French want
| them, and are willing to accept the usual
| terms Of credit. The French have been
accustomed to receiving such terms from
| the English and Germans, and IL Amer
| leans will not give the same terms they
refuse to deal with them. The average
| American wants his money in advance,
or on receipt of the goods, but this will
not do in the majority OF instances here
