ing so expensive that farmers can not af

| regard high-priced land in nation a
great deal as physicians regard high

getically about it to remove the danger
which is, believe, the private ownership
of land for eXplotive purposes. | should
urge the Congress to enact a law under
the terms of which the government should
Immediately acquire, at the cost of the
buildings and farm machinery, every farm
owned by one individual and rented by
another and also every farm operated by
a corporation.

Twenty Supreme Court Judges

DEACE having been safeguarded in this
manner, should go about it to try to
make peace worth while for everybody in
this country by preventing everybody
from taking from anybody any part of the
value produced by his labor In other
words should urge Congress to get rid
OF the protit-taking capitalist class by
acquiring and operating. upon behalf of
the people, the great industries and the
great natural resources of the United
States. If the Congress We're Il Socialist
Congress. it would be but a matter of form
to make the suggestion. If the Supreme
Court of the United States were, AS it is,
a capitalist court. it would undoubtedly.
if it had an opportunity, declare such
legislation to be unconstitutional If it
were capitalist court, | should try to
make sure that it had no such oppor-
tunity. would suggest to the Congress
that it increase the court from nine to
twenty. and | would nominate eleven
Socialist lawyers to complete the court
and outvote the other nine.
There is nothing sacred about the num-
ber nine as applied to this court. In the
beginning it was composed of six justices.
and under President Grant. Congress in
creased it from seven to eight. The court
had decided adversely to the administra-
ton in the so-called Legal Tender Cases,
and the extra Judge was added to enable
Grant to appoint a man who would re-
verse the courts decision, which he did.

charge nothing for the use of the land.
| should urge that each farmer operat-
ing upon lands of the United States be
permitted to live a lifetime, if he should
so desire, upon the farm that he might be
operating, and that at his death his son,
if he so desired, might keep the farm in
the family for one more generation. But,
if farmers should choose to move about,
should urge that any farmer be permitted
at any time to claim the right to operate
any unused farm belonging to the United
States. If New York farmer should
want to go to California for while, and
a California farmer should want to go to
New York for while, | should favor
law under the terms of which they could
make the shift. each moving into the
house and using the stock and farm i'm
plements left by the other. If the stock
and farm implements belonged to the
United States, it would not be necessary
to move them. Why should they not
belong to the United States 1t is only
the use of such things that we want and
if private ownership is not necessary to
such use, why have private ownership?
Efficiency Not the Only Thing
I BELIEVE that such freedom of move
ment would take away some of the
drudgery of farm life. | believe it would
do the California farmer good to farm in
New York for a while, and | believe it
would do the New York farmer good to
farm in California for while Something
might or might not be lost in efficiency
But efficiency is not the only thing in
this world that is worth while. The
enjoyment of life is worth something.
should not be in favor of compelling
the farmer who operates his own farm to
sell it to the government. But my con-
stant purpose would be to illustrate the
advantages to be derived by operating
farms owned by the United States where
everything from houses to hoes We're sup
piled by the government. My ideal
would be farm owned by the United
States government for every citizen of the
United States who might wish to operate
one-and every farm in the country
owned by the government.

But, while we should have respectable
authority for increasing the court to get
our decisions, we should use such meas
ures only temporarily. As quickly as IA
constitutional amendment could be put
through the State legislatures, we should

pass upon the constitutionality of acts OF

Constitution gives the court no such
power, and the court for years after its
creation claimed no such power.
Congress Should Operate Railroads
INASMUCH as transportation lies at
the bottom of our industrial and social
system, | should urge Congress- first, to
acquire and operate the railroads. |
should be in favor of buying the rail-
roads and paying in government bonds
what it would actually cost to reproduce
them | would suggest that the bonds be
drawn to run fifty years, and that from
the earnings of the roads = per cent of the
face value of the bonds be taken every
year and placed in sinking fund for their
redemption at maturity.

dustries and all of our great natural re-
sources be acquired in the same manner
by paying in long-term government
bonds If there were determined insist
ence--say by the Beef Trust-that the
cost of reproducing its plant was some
fabulous figure, | should urge Congress

packing business in competition with the
trust and selling meat at cost \ govern
ment plant half the size of the trusts
