FARM VALUES UNAFFECTED.

San interesting fact with reference
to the stability of farm values is re-
ported by The Financial World Of a
recent date. Following the severe
drouth Of last summer in the south
west, representatives of two eastern
insurance companies which held
mortgages on farms in the drouth af-
fected district travelled through that
Section to find out how much their
securities had been affected by the
crop loss" says The st. Paul Dis
patch. They assumed, at least for
urpos Of investigation, hat land
values had suffered materially, and,
going from farm to farm, asked what
price would buy the farm and its
equipment in the way of live stock
and implements.
.In no instance did they find my
farmer who would consider any lower
figure on account of the drouth or the
partial loss Of crops. That was a mere
incident, largely offset as a source OF
damage by the better prices received
for what was produced, while the
mere suggestion that It should con.
stitute q reason for alowering OF q

ues only served to raise the estima tes
the farmers placed upon their proper
ty, as they cast up their assets under
the insinuation that farm values had
deprecated or were unstable. In such
conclusion they were fully justified
by the facts. Here are some Of the
facts: The consuming power of the
country Is increasing -- at the rate
of 81 per cent during the last decade;
the first necessity of life Is food; the
food supply mainly from the
farm; the census reports show large
increases in values Of fOod products
Of the farm-all out Of proportion to
the increase in volume of production
in fact, some staple articles show an
actual decrease in production-while
total values rise in large percentages.
The increase in acreage in improved
farms is only Is per cent, against the
81 per cent increase in population,
which, however, does not tell the
whole story, for the official reports
also show that urban population in
creased 81 per cent, while the rural,
which includes the farming popula-
ton, increased only II per cent.
THE increase in value Of products
of the farm, taken as a Whole-liVe
stock showing a gain Of so per cent in
1910, as compared with 1900, and field
crops a gain Of SO per cent for the
same period-seems to be good basis
1857 to $32.40 an acre for farm lands,
taking the country as a whole"

NEW YORK MAYORS BIG JOB.

A writer in The American Review
of Reviews for this month, discussing
"NcW York's Municipal Problems
has this to say, among other things, of
the tremendous job and its RESPONSE
bility Of the next mayor Of New York.
The next mayor Of New York will
appoint sixty heads Of departments
and members Of executive boards, who
during the four years Of his term,
based upon 1913 appropriations, will
spend $236, 600, 900. OF these sixty ex-
e]cutives, fourteen are in charge of
fourteen major departments, and the
remaining fOrty-six are members of
eleven administrative boards or COM
missions. Not only will he be requir-
ed to find men with some competence
to take charge Of the great depart
ments under his control, but he will
have to prescribe for every department
for which he is responsible a course Of
action more or less in detail.
1t goes without saying that men to
handle $50, 600, 900 a year must have
some competence" But think of the
enormous possibilities for political
plumber in that vast sum. Is it any
wonder that Tammany sacrifices ma
tional and state tickets in order to
cinch its grip on this juicy and pro-
ductiVe plum? Yet this $50, 600, 900 is
only a part of the ordinary expenses
Of city government for a year. 1t has
nothing to do with franchises, con
tracts, gamblers dividends or othea
multitudinous forms of graft for
which New York official life has a dis
tinction all its own This great sum
is about one-quarter of what the board
of estimate will have to appropriate in
the budget, the grand n tremendous
total being about $500, 600, 900 in the
four years of the mayors service.
This is the rich pasture upon which
Tammany thriVes. This is why presi-
dents and governors may come and go
and party nominees ring the changes
on party loyalty, but Tammany heeds
them not at all. What are a
lively few federal offices to the tens of
thousands of the faithful who can be
nourished at the Tammany crib,
dollar-studded to the tune of $780,
OOO, 900 a year. Tammany is willing to
be known as the greatest little spend
thrift Of all time, if only it is able to
handle this 5000, 600, 900 a year through
the complaisant and obliging Mr.. Nc
Call, it's chosen candidate.
