Special washington lstter.
William Howard Taft is the
one best bet in the Republican
nomination handicap.
At least this is the way il
looks to me today, and I have
tried to view the situation, il
possible, without prejudice.
1 base my prediction on the
theory that special privilege,
as represented by Aldrich, Pen.
rose, Smoot, Lodge, Crane,
Guegenheim, ]. Pierpont Nor.
gan, John D. Rockefeller, An.
drew Carnegie, and the tariff
trusts, stili dominate the Re.
publican machine. And it m ust
never be forgotten that the Re.
publican machine, and not the
Republican voters, rules nation.
al Republican conventions and
names presidential candidates.
The Republican machine, it
is true. is badly damaged. but
1 think, however, it is still pow.
erful enough, backed as it is by
the millions of special privilege,
to control one more national
convention. After that it will
60 on the scrap heap, and men
freer of corporate influences
will be in control of the party.
The only deduction that the
reader may draw from the fore.
going is that Mr.. Taft 10 to be
nominated, not because the
people desire his denomination,
but because the big interests
desire his denomination; not
because Mr.. Taft aas earned a
denomination by representing
the interests of the com mon
people of the country, but be-
cause he has earned a renon,.
ination by representing the in.
terests of special privilege.
There seems to be an increas-
ing talk about Roosevelt. but 1
do not think the machine poll
ticians will permit his no,nina
ton. If Roosevelt should be
nominated, however, I believe
he would be defeated. It was
during his administration that
the present abnormally high
cost of living was piled up.
largely because of the system
excessive protection in which
Mr.. Roosevelt believes. Roose.
welt is an Aldrich-Smoot. Pen
rose Republican on the tariff
question, 90 far 40 anyone
knows. But If he should come
out on the Progressive side of
the tariff issue, it would only
make him less desirable to the
Republican machine. and his
nomination would be even less
probable than it 10 now.
Robert n. La Toilette, the
one man mentioned in counec-
ton with the Republican nom.
ination on whom the people
con put their finger on every
public question of the day, can.
not be nominated, in my oFiu-
ion. the reason being. only, that
the people cannot vote on presi.
Dental nominees.
Any day. of course, may bring
developments to change the
positions of the men on the
political checker board, but the
above is the situation as it an.

Increase in Farm Values
Springfield Reporter)


The farmer who is disposed to endorse
the unearned increment in city values
should pause moment and reflect
whether he wants the zeal of the reform.
er to turn it's attention toward the twenty
billion unearned increment in farm values
that has piled up in the last 10 years,
says the Manchester, n. H., Mirror and
Farmer. In 1900 the value of American
farms was over twenty billion dollars.
In 1910 the value was over forty billions.
So, within a decade the value of Amer-
can farms has doubled. This enormous
increase in value is not due in any large
way to the increase in productiveness of
American farms or to the Improvements
that have been made. but it represents
clear gain mostly by reason of the coun-
try's increase in population and in the
demand for food.
During the years in which this increase
has come the acreage of the leading cere
ais has increased only 35 per cent and
the aggregate pIoductian of these cereals
only per cent. This shows that the
farmer has not earned the twenty billion
dollars increase in his farm holdings. He
is merely getting better prices produced
by greater demand, and is enjoying the
same sort of rise in and values as does
the owner of city real estate where the
population doubles in 10 years.
