Census figures show that one-sev-
enth of the increase in population
has been in the big cities. Many Of
the best farming counties or Iowa,
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other
states actually show a decrease in
population.
The cost of living grows higher as
the population grows larger II be-
comes increasingly difficult to pay the
cost.
What's the answer?
We are enticing about a million
immigrants a year to the United
States. The big interests" want
them. These immigrants keep down
the cost of unskilled labor and swell
profits. When they begin to learn
things and revolt against intolerable
conditions, there Is always a fresh
supply. They congregate in the slums,
the tenements, the coal mining dis
| tricts, the steel trust villages, the
factories of the already over populat.
ed districts.
| What's the answer?
! II is this:
A government bureau. or depart
ment, or whatever we desire to cal
II. A place where. when these for
eigners land, they are compelled TO
go first. A place where statistics are
kept showing where farm hands are
needed, where opportunity and the
chance for man TO gain patch
of ground OF his own awaits. Next, a
plan whereby these workers are sent
TO those places. instead of being al
lowed, or compelled, by necessity, 70
flock to the centers OF population.
With all our boasted progress there
are millions upon millions Of acres
In the United States awaiting the
pillow. The plan is not a dream. II
is feasible according to some OF the
shrewdest students of the problem.
| What then Is stopping It?
| Why, these same big interests.
They want and need the system OF
llandlordism that Is growing up In the
