In Scotland one of the most important

THE factor is, indeed as you say in
the United States, the whole shooting
match He sets the value on the farms
which the tenants lease, fixes the tenure
of the leases, collects the rents. and I'm
short has the say about everything. Not
once in a thousand times would any Of
the tenants ever have a direct word with
the lord himself. If a house needs re-
pairing. or II a tenant wants a little lower
rent he must intercede with the power

the hereditary owner What the tenants
call a good factor is one who viii be

overdue or who can be induced 10 fix
