A Severe Criticism.

do not admit that there is 'rbusi-
ness stagnation," or any very serious
lack of production" (whatever that
may mean) in Virginia just at this
time, but all the same 1 give space to
the following:
To the Industrial Editor:
Sfr,--One OF the causes OF such busi-
ness sagnation an dlack OF production
in Virginia is the exodus OF popula-
ton and wealth from the country 10
the town, and Its attendant evils
Some say farming don't pay but the
main cause is false sentiment, which
governs SO many people (cspccialIy
"onen) and makes them prefer the
superficial show OF the city TO the
honest and sold. but sober country.
The high cost of living makes it
look like lunacy, and il Is certainly a
strange paradox; for a man and wife
can earn out of ffty acres of good
land what is cqu 'valcnt TO So per day
in town, and most of these men earn
less than So per day in town. OF
course, this proposition only holds
where the land can be bought for
what 1t is assessed at for taxes IT
would mean slavery 10 a landlord at
the prices asked for come of the idle
land held for speculation (rcal land).
The Worlds Work magazine In
December printed on open letter to
the public asking, Does anybody
want a farm" and demanding why
they didn't buy some of the hundreds
of farms offered for sale. Nearly zoo
men replied, that they did want farms,
and could make q better living OH the
land. but that their women folks" OBJ
jected to the country life, and also
raised the question oG educating their
children. Not many answered but
had a small capital. The cditor's com
mcnt was that the compelling cause
was the women of the family, and
that they preferred to have their hus-
hands work for wages III town as
it gave the women freedom to do as
they pleased. and to act as the spender
his helper in earning wages. The
this magazine. and the editor makes
rather q bad case against the women.
However, VIC must remember that this
accusation SO far is wholly man-m made
SO won't you print the answer TO il
from some woman?
This writer is for equal suffrage,
but the women have got TO go deeper
into the question OF economic freedom,
and study the land question in order
TO set any good of their vote
