Rudolph Spreckels, leader in the San
Francisco anti-graft crusade, in addi-

plan for stemming the tide OF the
wave of population flowing toward
the American cities with such alarm
ing rapidity.

a lot of free advice to the residents
of cOngested sections in our cities, it
offers comparatively little aid of a
substantial sort. l think that it is not
because city dwellers prefer the cities
to the country that they remain in a
state OF Industrial dependence. but be

ed States should form 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.

CANTILLONS WISH CONTROL
La Crosse Gets Letter Asking Min

La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE La
Crosse 'Minny" league management
has received letter from the owners
of the Minneapolis team asking for
the election of a Minneapolis man for
president of the WiscOnsin-Minnesota
league. and this is believed to be a
move to secure official control of the
''Minny' league in the interest of the
American association, which is willing
to have a "Minny" League team placed
in the twin-cities on condition that the
invasion of association territory is suf-
ficiently friendly to the association so

be compelled TO place heavy mort
cages on their land, payable in a 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

his holdings. together with the money
he had expended in getting started.
CALLS 1T MISTAKEN PLEA.
.SThe plea to the man OF the city to
emigrate TO the frontier to hew out a
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
farm it is difficult enough to transform
a stubborn prairie or n heavily wood
ed land into tillable land. but for the
inexperienced farmer, recruited from
the cougested cities, it is almost i'm
possible. After a few years he will
get discouraged and return to his old
home and work.

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 nominal sum. And this
is where the capitalists should extend
a helping hand.
I'm many parts of Europe the plan
of long payments for land is in oper-
alton and Is proving a great success.
When the settlers are assured that in
case of crop reverses they are not in
