kent's
Statement.
Let us consider some phases OF
Hawaiian sugar. The business was
built up first under subsidy and then
under a protective tariff. The sugar
land Is nearly all CT 1T in the hands
OF the great corporations. These ccr-
porations are paying large dividends
on inflated values. This is the upper
crust OF the pie. Next comes a fill
iEg of upward of 10000 tons Of sug-
ar, for which, together with all other
sugar, imported and domestic, the
American people are paying heavy
taxes. The lower crust consists OF
oriental labor. The yellow man is
everywhere displacing the white man
even in the skilled occupations. The
white man of small means has little
or no chance to inhabit the Para
disc of the Pacific. 1t is today a
country of corporations and yellow
men. The white men are SO greatly
outnumbered that there seems dan
ger that the pie may be turned over.
to the obvious benefit of the under
upper crust. To prevent such an I'M
fortunate occurrence, and to protect
the protected sugar industry, we are
taxed for an increase in our navy.
To protect the navy, which must pro-
tect the protected sugar industry, we
must be taxed to fortify the Pearl
harbor. To protect Pearl harbor, to
protect the navy. to protect the pro-
tected sugar industry, we must keep
near Pearl harbor a considerable de-
tachment of men, and these must be
supported out of public taxation.
This is am illustration of the fam
Gus American Doctrine and the Ann
er.can consumer can realize as he
pays his grocery bills. that he is not
only patriotically encouraging an Am
erican industry for the benefit OF
corporations and yellow labor, but
that he is encouraging an indefinite
increase in our navy and probable
increase in our army, always with
the possibility that the navy and the
army aforesaid may have to be ac-
lively used to further protect the pro
tected sugar industry, with all the
waste of life and of property incident
to war. and at very rough estimate

and millicrs of dollars of pensions

that there has been a marked decline
in wholesome social activities in rural
regions. This has come about largely
through the increase in tenant farm
ing.
CHANGE HAS COME ABOUT.
Until within the last 10 or 20 years
the farm was not ranked as a CONNER
claI institution, and was thought Of as
q home, rather than q place Of bust
ness. Land wHs 70 be had virtually for
the asking and farm products were
sold below their actual cost. Thus
came about the exodus from the farm
10 the city, the movement being en-
couraged by the inequality Of oppor-
tunity For some years. however, the
farmer has been enjoying compare
tive prosperity. His products have
brought higher and higher prices and
his land has Jumped in value. He has
become newly rich and his wealth
has influenced him TO remove TO the

ARE TEMPORARY RESIDENTS.
The percentage of farms cultivated
by tenants has grown These tenants
for the most part, are but temporary

his topic was Farm Tenancy and
Country Problems" Mr.. Hunt is a
member of the Iowa legislature and
chairman of the committee on agricul-
( ture of the lower house Besides, he
/ is an officer OF the state federation of
farmers clubs. In his opinion, not
much can be done to improve condi-
tons among the present generation OF
/ farmers, but a great deal can be &C
/ complished by educating the younger
members OF rural communities. He
favored school Capitalization and the
/ teaching Of agriculture and nature
studies in place OF the dead languages
and higher mathematics. A type of
farmers club he had found to be par
ticularly effective was one composed OF
II families, meeting once each month
at the home of a member BY taking
the members in rotation. everybody
has chance to act as host once in
the year and the smallness Of the
membership makes 1t necessary for
everyone TO take some part in the
program at nearly every meeting.
This makes for greater interest. There
are II of these clubs in Mr. Hunts
county. and one of them has been in
existence for 40 years.
