CHICAGO. Dec | Private mo nopoly of the land and the railroads and transportation. marketing. ware house, slaughtering and cold storage facilities. is responsible for the high cost of living. said Frederick C. Howe. commissioner of immigration of the port of New York. in an address this forenoon to the National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits. Mir. IIowc's subject was The People and the Land the Problem that Coutronts Us" Declaring that the high cost of living has become problem to the people of America as well as to the warning nations of Europe. and that the solution hinges on the relation of the people to the land he said. in part.
 The immigration problem is con nected with the land. and is the hig- eest thing to be solved before the peo- pie, because all wealth comes from the land. As long as there was land in abundance, under the homestead act. there was no serious immigration l.o- blem. but now that the land is all owned the immigration situation has returned and now there is an indus trial problem also. The government must turn to the land question. to as riculturc. to insuring jus! treatment for farmer and consumer alike"

PROMOTION LAND SETTLEMENT |S
 DISCUSSED

CHICAGO, Dec. Need of a new policy of land settlement was ex. pressed by Hector McPherson. of the Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Ore, who told the National Con. ference of Marketing and Farm Gre, dits that it Is only in the far north west that considerable bodies of un- settled lands remain in this country, and that the entire northwest is be coming aroused to the necessity Of a complete change.
 Up to the present, said Mir. McPher- son. both state and federal plans for promotion of land settlement in the northwest have fallen short of ex- pectations. and very few projects have been successfully settled under the Carey and reclamation acts. In many cases individuals and companies. he said, have exploited land to the detri- ment of settlers, and, despite state and federal regulation, considerable com munities of settlers have sometimes been left stranded in desert districts.

GROWERS OBJECT RAISE
 IN RATES

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. I. - Trans continental freight rates, to and from the Pacific coast ports, which are to be increased under new tariff erfac tive December 30, and to form the subject of hearing before Attorney. Examiner Thurtel, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which began here yesterday. Local shippers. as we'll as those from the other Califor. ma seaports, were represented but the main argument in support of the California shippers viewpoint will be made by the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce.
 California shippers, while they have been asked to give their views on tranScontinental rates, both to and from the Pacific coast, are more in. terested in the eastbound freight rates because of the marketing of fruit and other California crops which have al ready been sold on the basis of the present rates. It is contended that the proposed increase of 10 cents q hundred pounds on car load lots. eff fective December 30. will work a hardship on these shippers.

WAN I RIGHT n SELECT OWN
 RULERS

THE HAGUE. Netherlands, Dec. [. Only two lives, those of the reign ing queen and of her seven year old daughter Princess Juliana. bar the way in the natural order of things to the accession to the throne of the Netherlands of a German prince. Ii is true that so far as health and age are concerned, those lives may be de scribed as first class" but the poten tial slenderness of the thread was il lustrated not long ago in The Hague woods. where the royal automobile carrying Queen Wilhelmina and the little princess was the victim of a col lision that might under less fortupat, circumstances have cost the lives of both.
 This question of the succession gave Dutchmen some concern before the war and much more now. Several vel known public men have drawn public attention to the matter in the last few days, and what looks like a strong agi tation. enjoying widespread sympathy has been started for revision of the constitution, declaring null and void all potential rights of succession ol foreign princes, leaving the choice Of new sovereign. in such an uphoped for and unexpected circumstance as the failure of all direct heirs to the throne, entirely to the states general of parliament of the country. For every Dutchman, practically without exception, whatever be his sympathies in the present war. would regard the accession of a German prince as ca lamity. threatening the so dearly cherished independence of the nation.
