THE HUNGER FOR LAND.

It is scarcely necessary to repeat what ev-
eryone knows so we'll, the hunger for land
grows rather than diminishes. And it is GER
tain that though for brief periods, there may
be a lessened demand for land, yet, on the
whole, the demand continues to grow, and for
very obvious reasons.
It has been said very often that there is
but one crop Of land, but there doesn't seem
to be any way out of saying it again. Pop
ulation is growing. The world, therefore, de-
mands larger food supplies, and this means
either that more acres must be cultivated or
that more food per acre must be raised. It
means both, in fact.
In our own country, in spite of its enormous
extent, rable land is growing scarce In
few years it will all be gone practically. The
splendid irrigation projects in prospect will,
Of course, put off for some years the time
when all good unimproved land will be taken
up.
Allowing for the fact that the land bust
ness may be doomed too greatly, and that in
some quarters this has put prices at too high
a figure, it is nevertheless true that land
prices must advance on the whole, in spite
of temporary setbacks due to various causes
The present so-called land hunger, there
fore, is natural and healthy Land prices in
this country have not anywhere near reached

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

interest rate to five per cent, the rate charged
for the government issue. The common rate
before the government issue was s per cent.
Having a more abundant supply Of money
and lower interest rate gave the Pennsyl-
vanians a great advantage over the other col
onies, and they became more prosperous and
absorbed the gold and silver from the other
colonies so they were better able to stand the
loss Of their paper money.
The tendency is for prosperous nation to
absorb the money Of it's less prosperous neigh
Dor, that is, if they use the same kind Of
money, and as there has always been a chronic
shortage Of money the world over, it becomes
a very serious question when nation loses
any considerable quantity of its money. The
shipment Of hundred millions Of gold from
this country to England would cause a panic,
while the transfer of other wealth. though ten
times as great, would be heralded with delight
as showing the balance Of trade in our favor.
The reader will please note how different
money is from a commodity. We could lose
ten times the value of our nation s money in
commodities and scarcely note the effect, and
yet if some nation should trade us out of our
money the distress would be appalling. It
would be like taking tools from a mechanic,
or blood from our system.
The effect of vicious money system is
worldwide. No other economic question is
so farreaching. Interest is a tribute paid by
every individual that is in touch with civiliza-
ton. Interest is the primary of panics.
An ample volume Of money will obviate inter
est. A provision to monetize land values will
give us an ample volume, and free from
panics.

their limit. The writer of this letter expects
history to repeat itself in this matter during
the next % years. Men in Kansas under
40 years of age can point to farm land valued
now at 800 per acre which, within their mem
DRY, was homesteaded at $1.25. Men are now
living on farms in Illinois valued at $3.50 or
even more per acre, which in their boyhood
were bought for So to $40 per acre.
We are hearing frequently that this high
priced land will not always be held so high.
Well, wo do not believe it, Prices NAV drop
to lower level for time, but they will come
back to present figures, and are certain to 90
much higher than any figures current.
Land IN Europe, not so good as our best
land, is held at $500 per acre. Under like con-
dltlons it will go to similar figures in Ameri
ca.
When 1t does we shall have to raise more
per acre than at present, and that is easily
possible. 1t is done in Europe We can do
1t here and will do it when circumstances
make it necessary
r. 1t is true of those peoples whom we SO often
call thrifty that they are good land buvers
1hls is true OF the best class of farmers who
come to us from European countries. The
German IS proverbially thrifty. Wherever a.
community of German farmers is found in
this country there will be found farmers who
are good land buyers and poor land sellers.
They know the value Of land They look on
the possession of land as an almost priceless
heritage. Their own experience in Germany.
nation with comparatively poor soil. and
with population of over so million. in q fer
rtory smaller than our largest state has
taught them that the possession of land is
not to be lightly valued Their example is a
good one to follow. This doesn t mean that
a man cannot make mistake in buying land
Mistakes will always be made, but it is never
theless true that for the farmer no investment
is so good ordinarily as land. It NAV or NAV

though more and more the men in the towns
and cities are putting their money into lands.
improved and unimproved Buy land, we'll To-
Gated, improved or unimproved. This appears
to be good motto for the farmer today
Since the rich mans panic of October, 1907
land as an investment has been held in higher
esteem than ever before. Land cannot get
away Even if it should decrease in value it
is still there, and it is about as certain as
anything can be that fertile land practically
anywhere in the United States will be worth
more five years from than at the pres
ent time This is particularly true in the new
er sections of our country, and most emphati-
cally is it true in Kansas and the great South

of credit, as is done by Great Britain, the
United States, France, Germany, and other
countries.
The commercial and, I may say, the intel
lectual development Of nation can be
measured by it's fiscal system Money is not
only the "sinews of war;" but of peace, as
well. No people can develop to any great
extent it's natural wealth without money, and
yet when money is plentiful even people with
low mentality are prosperous. The Spanish
people, under the reign of Emperor Charles
the Fifth, became the leading power Of Europe
through the influx Of gold from America upon
its discovery by Columbus in 1892. Yet
Charles the Fifth was mad man of low
mentality, and wasted the energies of his peo-
pie in Of aggression.
With full money supply it does not require
any great genius to conduct business enter
prise, but to secure credit requires the genius
of Napoleon. The blessings that would
come with an ample volume of money are
beyond the dreams Of the most enthusiastic
reformer.
The Importance of an ample volume of
money is not half realized even by those writ
ers who have devoted years of thought to the
subject, and the great masses have had such
struggle for existence that they have given no
thought to it, and yet its solution means the
freedom Of the industrial workers of the world.
It means fair days wage for fair days
work. It means an equitable division of the
products Of toll.
It will give us all that is good in society. Tt
will make cooperation possible without des-
troying indivdualsm A social compact will
be all the government needed, and the highest
development Of the human race will be at
tanned.
Z place economic questions above all others,
because ethical culture must follow Industrial
progress, it cannot precede it
Poverty begets vice as surely as night fol-
lows day. Material prosperity is the great
goal for which we must strive if we wish to
lift mankind to higher ethical standard.
The greatest plan yet suggested to give us
an ample volume of money is that Of Monetiz-
ing Land Values.
A government legal-tender paper money
issued against land values has been tried and
it made the best money known to civilization
Benjamin Franklin inaugurated this system In
the PENNSYLVANIA colony before the Revolution
and it was perfect success, and was in vogue
for more than 40 years; but the English Par
lament prohibited the use Of paper money by
the American colonies and did not discriminate
between the absolute paper money OF Pennsy-
vania and the paper promises to pay specie
