expensive than education and that the

Georgia will be the first state to have
this special Juvenile government. and
il is possible that Pennsylvania will be
among the first to follow in its foot
steps. l.. G.. Hartman of Commerce, 4

NJ. Jacksons plan is to have boy

treasurer, Il juvenile legislature, and,
in fact, to make the colony an exact
counterpart OF the state. OF course
theIe will be no salaries attached to
the offices. Each yOungster will have
to work for his pay and attend to gov
ernmental duties incidentally. and,
above all. there will be no chance for
graft. In the happy little state the
boys viii DO removed from criminal as

case the operation may have to be re-
peated yearly or at some other regular
periods. ! do understand that the value
of land can be estimated apart from
the value of the improvements on it,

me appear ridiculous. | also under

ing valuable real estate holdings and

ing, manufacturing or transportation,
can be disturbed in their business by
the single tax unless some other equal
ly powerful combine of capital shall es
tablish a similar business in direct COM

strike the new competitor just as heav
lily as it does the other one. And if
the single tax will not dispossess or

Mr.. Knapp would like to have us be-
lieve. though he is careful not to COM
nit himself positively, | cannot for my
life see how it will work such a revolu-
ton in social and industrial conditions.
Plainly, there is a cog loose in the ma

followed by fall in the price of COM
mOdities. This may at first thought
seem to be desirable, but any general
fall in the price of commodities will
soon be followed by a decline in wages,
and whether this would be a good thing
is an open question. | cannot under
stand how the rental value of land

the boys before they have fallen into
evil habits if possible, as well as those
who have become delinquents, and by
members of life develop correct ideas
of citizenship. The officers of the state
will be appointed from among the
boys. There will be a governor, n sec

or will appoint the judges, and the
citizens will elect their own jurieS,
pass their own laws and establish
penalties, the trustees only acting as

trustees will have the power to veto it.
ITO start it at least $4,000 will be

girls as well as for boys. with ma

While the charter provides for the adj

necessarily be offenders. as it is pre-
ferred to get them earlier from parents,
who will enter them voluntarily, re-
ceivinS parental rights of withdrawal
when desired. Other citizens will be
obtained from the municipal and state
courts and at times from the federal
court. The chief industry will be farm
ing, and the boys will work under the
direction of an expert farmer. There
will also be trade schools with capable
instructors. The institution will be
managed on the cottage plan, the older
children being separated from the
younger, the hayward from the less
wayward. The citizens of both sexes
will be paid for their work in the coin
of the Juvenile state, with which they
will pay for everything they purchase,
thus developing habits of business and
economy. If people of means wish to
place their boys in the state, they will
be permitted to pay for the privilege
of doing so. But the state would pre-
fer TO receive the boys who are penni-
less and without chance"

How Book Learnins Pays.

"Book learning" for farmers has
been a thing to laugh at In the past
1t used to be thought that an almanac
and one or two patent Office reports
were all a man needed to make him
competent to run farm" We are
getting past that day, and doing 1t at
pretty fast pace, In our times. Think
of the report just published by the
commissioners appointed a couple Of
years ago In the State of Louisiana to
investigate crop pests, with particular
reference to the boil weevil and the ter
rible injury it has wrought to the cot
ton crop. For two years these commits
sioners have been studying and exper-
imenting ON the State farms In the
Red river region. and now they send
word out to the world that they have
succeeded In growing cotton that can
not be hurt by the boil weevil. Just
how they have done this we must wait
to learn. The great fact Is that they
have done it. Think what this will
mean in money to the farmers of the
cotton growing States Nor will the
benefit of their work stop there. Other
people than the cotton growers are in
terested in cotton. We all have use
for the plant and its products From
the poor man down in the most obscure
quarter of the city to the millionaire
In his beautiful home, we all need cot
ton In some form or other. And book
farming" cuts the cloud which has
hung over the men who grow the plant
and lets the sunshine out all over the
world.
