jtracts, or gets the arid land. But
without water the ground is
worthless except for long specu-
lative purposes.
Nor can the whole family work
on the farm. Children under 10
must go to school during the term.
After 16, the boys may work as
long as their father likes, but no
female can do other than domestic
work or fruit preserving, in sea-
son, or prosecution of her individ-
ual business, for more than eight
hours a day. These laws are rig
idly enforced. The wife alone, as
half owner of the community
property, assumed to be equally
interested with her husband in
their business, could slave as she
does in Europe. That universal
privilege of wifehood is still in
violate.
Are these immigrants, then, to
come as independent husbandmen?
If so, they must have tucked in
their vest pockets passage money,
entrance fee, transportation from
dock to inland points and one or
two thousand dollars to start in
with.
| Or, these immigrants are COM
| ing for the time honored reasons:
to fill empty stomachs and empty
pockets. No matter how desirable
they may be as ultimate farmers,
they must first find employment
by which to exist and eventually
to save enough to buy lands, which
ever increase in value and become
harder to obtain.
Or, Big Business can herd these
helpless immigrants in shacks up
on. vast acres for the double pur-
pose of recognizing the farm up
on the lines of other great indus
tries; and, from the very fecun-
dity of these transplanted peas
ants insure abundant "unpreju-
diced" labor for the factories
which will whirr with the business
of supplying the Orient with steel
rails and clothing and oil and can
ned goods and all other stuffs.
Mills and ranches will move to the
same time and measure-higher
protective tariffs, lower wages,
greater profits for the Overlords-
and beautiful California will be-
come one gigantic, welterins,
hopeless, helpless, European slum.
