HELP FOR IRELAND.
LONG.ExPECTED LAND BILL IN.
TROOUCED IN PARLIAMENT.
Proposes a Free Grant of 100000, 900
to Help Tenants Buy Farms-Secre-
= tary Wy;dham Says the Government

| At last the long waited Irish land bill
has been introduced into Parliament and
there is ground for the belief that il
marks Il turning point III the history of
Ireland. WhateNe er defects the bill NAV
have, there can be no doubt that it looks
toward an era of better things and that,
us John Redmond said i'll his speech. it
represents Il sincere effort TO take hold
OF the great Irish question in practical
and helpful way. The measure, so far
rs outlined. in many particulars strongly
resembles the plan approved at the re-
cent conference of landlords and tenants
in Dublin. 1t provides way whereby
the poor tenants of Irish land shall be
enabled 10 become actual owners of their
holdings. To make possible the purchase
of this land from the Irish landlords the
British government proposes TO furnish
S6O.O00.Do as Il margin between pay
ments To landlords and money repaid by
tenants.
Tenants are to Pay 3A per cent inter
est on loans from the government Mr..
Wyndham said he thought the scheme
would not involve S5O0,OOO,OOO. but that
$IJO.OOO,O0O could safely be advanced ON
Irish land. The advances to tenants are
limited 10 $500 in the congested dis.
tricts and 5000 elsewhere. The bill
also provides that untenanted farms and
grazing lands shall be sold to neighbor
ing tenants and that three commission.
ers, TO be known as estate commission.
ers, shall supervise the sales.
At the present time there are between
3I5,O0O and 100000 tenants of Irish sol.
who have been suffering the evils of the
landlord system. In those cases where
landlords were willing to sell their lands
and thus put the tenant in the way OF
becoming an Independent land owner the
landlords pricet were higher than the
tenants could possibly pay. The British
governments present plan is to solve the
difficulty by advancing a sum sufficient tc |
satisfy the landlords, permitting the ten |
ants to pay ba.k in yearly installments
the price they can afford and virtually |
making up the difference out of the Brit. |
with the peace and security that will |
follow the wiping cut of landlordism the
Irish police force of 1900 men can be
TO one-third or one quarter Of its
present size. This reduction alone would
cause a great saving 10 the English tax.
payer.
If this plan. which has been carefully
matured and favorably received by land
lords and tenants alike. shall prove sue
cessful better day is dawning for Ire
land.
