TO STOP
TIDE TO CITIES
Rudolph SpreckeIs Has Project
For Prospective Farmers.
WOULD ENLIST CAPITALS AID.

Idea Is to Have Wealthy Men Buy Up
Desirable Land, Then Resell II on
Long Payments So One Crop Failure
Will Not Entail Loss Of Farm-Says
Capitalists Should Form q Fund.
Rudolph Spreckels, leader in the San
Francisco anti-graft crusade, in addi-
ton to ideas for civic reform, has a
plan for stemming the tide Of the
wave of population flowing toward
the American cities with such alarm
ing rapidity.
1.-THE trouble with the back to the
farm propaganda today" Mr.. Spreck-
els says, us that, while 1t distributes
q lot of free advice to the residents
Of congested sections in our cities, it
offers comparatively little aid of a
substantial sort. think that 1t is not
because city jewellers prefer the cities
to the country that they remain in a
state of industrial dependence, but be-
cause they have not the capital re-
quired to buy a farm and the stock
and implements necessary to make 1t
a paying venture.
Thinks Fund Should Be Formed.
81 believe the capitalists of the Unit
ed States should form a fund so that
they could buy tillable land and then
resell it to prospective emigrants
from the cities at actual cost, with
provision for easy terms of payment.
These payments could be so arranged
as to extend over a period Of fifty or
even seventy years, so that there
would be little question that the pur-
chaser or his family would eventually
own the land.
"As it is, many hesitate to leave
their urban homes because farming
is a great deal of a risk. They would
be compelled to place heavy mort
cages on their land, payable in few
years. Under this plan a series Of
unfortunate seasons would be fatal to
the farmer, who would be unable to
meet the demands of the incumbrance
on his land and would thereby forfeit
his holdings. together with the money
he had expended in getting started.
Calls II Mistaken Plea.
"The plea to the man Of the city to
emigrate to the frontier to hew out
home for himself where land is cheap
is mistaken. Pioneer life necessarily
entails many hardships, which the city
dweller and his wife cannot endure
because they are not Injured to them
To a man who has been reared on a
farm it is difficult enough to transform
a stubborn prairie or heavily wood
ed land into tillable land, but for the
inexperienced farmer, recruited from
the congested cities, It is almost i'm
possible. After a few years he will
get discouraged and return to his old
home and work.
Here is the difficulty. however To
embark on a farming venture in a dis
trict which is already cultivated and
settled to some extent requires a big
outlay of capital. whereas In pioneer
regions land can be obtained either
free or for a nominal sum. And this
Is where the capitalists should extend
helping hand.

WASHINGTON was invaded recently
w by an army of leading politicians
and business men from Arizona and
New Mexico who came to urge con-
gress to take favorable action on
statehood for these territories.
1t had been supposed this action
could be taken by the president and
statehood accomplished by proclama-
ton, in case congress should adjourn
without acting. But the statehood
boomers found that Attorney General
Wickersham held differently. He says
the enabling act contains an alterna-
tive clause making approval by joint
resolution necessary.
To the constitution submitted by
New Mexico the principal objection of
fered came from those who wanted a
statewide prohibition article incorpo-
rated. The objection raised against the
Arizona constitution has been that II

question as to what shall constitute a
working day for the railway mail
clerks. The burden of the complaint
has been that large majority of the
men on road duty were not, prior to
the issuing of the take up the slack"
order, maxim the hours now required.
Official notice has now been given to
the clerks that on the lines where
their work is heavy continuously for
six days each week, the standard of
the service hours shall be considered
as six hours. 1t is announced also
that credit for overtime will be given
to clerks who do terminal work at
either end of their runs, or extra work
that requires them to remain on duty
beyond the standard number of hours.
With this arrangement the clerks gem
orally have expressed themselves as
quite satisfied. There are 14,4S3 rail
way postal clerks assigned to road
duty. The total average of time on
duty on trains and at terminals is now
six hours and thirty-two minutes.

Hobson Again Predicts War With Japs

Japan and the United States will go
to war in the near future. The con-
fiict will begin in less than ten months.
The war will last five years, perhaps
ten. The Panama canal will be de-
stroyed, and in the end this nation will
carry the war to Japan and conquer
that kingdom. These are few of the
predictions made by Representative
Hobson, who used to be an officer in
the navy.
I'VE will be struck" he declared.
"and when we are-gentlemen may diff
fer with me as to the time, but firm
ly believe 1t can be counted in months
on the fingers of my two hands-we
will find ourselves practically power
less. The nations of the world will call
on us to give up the war and not con-
tinue to disturb the peace of the world,
just as we did with Russia in her war
with Japan. Our own financiers will
demand that we end an apparently
hopeless struggle.
But we will not give up. We will
fight on, angered and humiliated until
it becomes a mere question of re-
sources"

THE men employed in the railway
mail service have successfully ap-
pealed to congress to correct what
they call the "intolerable conditions
brought about by the attempt of the
department to take up the slack in
the service. This take up the slack
order was issued about six months
ago. The object of the order was to
obtain greater uniformity in the aver
age hours of work in day by the rail-
way mail clerks. According to repre-
sentations made both to congress and
to the postmaster-general the order
has caused great Generalization in
the service. In some sections of the
country the railway mail clerks have
threatened TO quit in body unless re-
lief was afforded.

The Arizona men say good Judge

nothing to fear from the recall, but
that the official life of Judge who
leans away from the law might be

it was to provide for such cases that
it was made applicable to the judiciary

The gist of the Arizona argument to
a cornered congressman was:
After our recent election 80 per

The Bryces and Gould-Decies Wedding

Decies and her daughter. Hon. Mrs.
Wilkerson, bore down upon the capital
for nice little visit with the former
naval attache of the American en-
bassy at London and Mrs. Gibbons.
When the visitors arrived they were
promptly and fearfully feasted after

smart society, at the country clubs,
and, incidentally. over to the White
House they journeyed one pleasant
afternoon and drank five o'clock tea
with Mrs. Taft. Next thing everybody
knew the Dowager Lady Decies was
dining over at the British embassy.
Now the story goes that the ambas-
sador didn't go to the wedding because
he isn't fond of wearing his gold-laced
clothes. Mrs. Bryce, who has a naive
