the BOYS OF OUR FAMILY.

One of the comments made and felt
generally in Iowa over the Mulhall

or senator is mentioned or involved.
There is relief in the comment. There
il also occasion for pride and reason
for confidence.
Iowa is very much like q family
when a scandal breaks out in the
high school or among the boys OF a
neighborhood but which does not at
tach to the sons Of the family. There
Is thankfulness and increase OF con-

Why Rents Are High.
Minneapolis NeWs.l

Have you ever stopped 20 figure out
what makes rent so high"
In the country you can buy an acre OF
ground often for as little as 500. The
dirt in i, is as good as the dirt IN
small city lot which cost you perhaps
$4,000. Put a home on il, costing, say.
$4,000 and for s3.100 you have home
which. if moved by a fairy 10 the
crowded part of a modern city. would
make you Independently rich for life.
Now. there is very little difference
between the prices of stone, bricks.
mortar and lumber in the country and
in the city. The difference in the wages
of the house builders is greater. but
not nearly enough to account for the
tremendous difference in the selling
price of the finished home in the coun-
try and town.
Thus the only big thing left TO ac-
count for the higher city value is that
in the city people want land. And that,
of course. is true. They want it be-
cause they have TO have it; because 1t
IS as necessary for their existence as
water or air
Yet how often do we see few per-
sons buying control Of great tracts of
land in or near city. fencing il in and
refusing to let people who need land
badly have access to il until they pay a
fancy price.
Imagine the howl that would so up if
private individuals should in a similar
manner get control OF large reserves
Of the water We drink or the air we
breathe and hold US all up in the mere
act Of living until We came 10 their
ecr fDp ri " faY
The owner of idle land in a city of
course adds nothing by such ownership
TO the city's growth. On the contrary,
he retards IT, Makes it the more diff
cult for an Industrious man producer,
munity's wealth, to find a place to lay
his head
Rents are high. then, because the big
growth In land values due to the
grow1hs of our cities has been per-
mitted to pass into private pockets, and
chiefly the pockets of few in each
community, while the many have TO
pay increasing tribute on the very
| wealth which their OWN industry has
created. q rre-ss ;,
Rents can not be pulled down sud-
denly unless by the destruction OF all
values; but we can begin to reduce
them gradually and equitabiy whenever
we shall set forth 20 untax improve
ments on land and increase the tax on
unearned increment.
There is no reason in justice. is there

1t is only little more than 20
years ago that the first iron ore
was mined on the great Mesaba

several mines whose deposits of ore
