Farmers Advised Not to Put
All Eggs in One Basket

Southern farmers have been again
warned not to put all of their eggs in one
basket by relying on cotton as their only
crop. In a recent speech before the BIZ
ningham Chamber of Commerce, w. +. V
of the Federal Reserve Board
said:
Let the farmers realize, and. l urge
upon merchants and bankers the I'M
portance of persuading them that an
increased acreage in cotton will be
looked upon as an argument IN favor
of lower prices for the remainder of
crop now being held, although it is
by no means certain that large acre
age would yield larger crop than
smaller and better cultivated area. Let
us suppose things turn out this year as
some optimists predict. Suppose peace
should be restored and there springs
up a greatly increased demand for cot
ton? Under such conditions large
crop would of course sell for a great
deal of money, but with the experience
of 1910 and 1911 before us, is there any
reason to doubt that a moderate crop
would sell for still more? On the
other hand suppose the war continues;
suppose unhappily this country should
become involved-and remember that
in times of stress, when it comes to
choice between something to eat and
something to wear, food must be pro-
vided at any cost, while new clothes
can wait-then, ask, would we not
be far better off with a moderate sup
ply of cotton and an abundance of food
supplies.
Mr.. Harding is manifest1y right in hi
contention, and as he has pointed out tn
time for serious consideration of thes
facts is now that the planting seaso
is at hand. Should the war continue an
the purchasing power of the United State
be impaired thereby, the acreage Q
America depends upon the farmers of tn
south Should they decide during tn
next few weeks to produce their foodstuff
at home and to plant cotton as none
crop, their position will be secure.

Diseases Caught
In Crowded Cars

This is a protest against unventilated
street cars.
We grumbled about it to ourselves all
winter-now we can't stand it any longer,
so we are going to grumble out loud.
1t is not possible to calculate the detri-
mental effects of the lack of ventilation
in most street cars. Many persons know
that long street car rides in poorly ven
tilated cars result in headaches and feelings
of heaviness. However, these are merely
immediate effects. How much real disease
is traceable to the street car cannot be es-
timated
Howard Lancaster, M. D., commissioner
of health of ST. Paul, Mimi, in an address
delivered in Minneapolis, said that 90 per
cent of all respiratory diseases are, caused
by poorly ventilated street cars during the
winter months. He says further
When one considers the crowded con-
ditions of the cars, many of the occupants
suffering from respiratory diseases caused
by the respective germs of such diseases,
and that hus people practically imbibe an
atmospheric soup composed of carbon
dioxide, bad smells and microbes, my esti-
mate that 80 per cent of all such respira-
tory diseases is brought about by the poorly
ventilated street cars is not to be won
dered at.
1T is my opinion that in car crowded
with 80 people or Whereabouts, made to
carry only go, good ventilation is an i'm
possibility, and the only solution of the
difficulty is to prevent the overcrowding. .

The Question Villa
Has Raised For Us

Not one opponent of preparedness has
arisen anywhere to say what, without an
army, the United States should do IN such
a case as Villa raised for US.
Don't wonder at the silence about this
There Is nothing to say.
So long as there are Villas in the world,
it is either to have an army or allow your
men and women to be slaughtered and
your towns burned down.
But if you are to have an army at all, it
is as certain as holy writ that you must
have a good one. In these days poor
army is a bad as none, or worse.
The only good army in a democracy
is one in which all serve alike. It is also the
only kind that can cope with modern con-
ditions.
The trouble with our preparedness
friends is that they think the world is filled
with people exactly like themselves.
Moreover, all of its Villas are not in
Mexico. Not by lot.

of such efforts will be even more evil

people of Florida do not consider the
use of the thoughts of noted and dead
orators, without giving them credit

In mailing his charges home, Sena-

that although we devoted some two or
three hours with these gentlemen,
when we cannot spare even an hour
to go fishing, although they are said
to be "biting fne," the only compen-
sation we receive is a collection Of
cards, printed in the other fellows

several candidates. However, call
again, gentlemen.-Milton Gazette.

The Growth And
Threat of Landlordisn

Mexico's internal troubles which finally
produced her difficulties with the United
States are due, in the last analysis, to land
monopoly
The common people cannot get a foot
hold on the land. The native aristocrats
hold it in immense estates. Foreign capital
has snatched the most valuable parts in
great blocks. The poorer classes feel that
they are being robbed. Revolution is easily
set going under such conditions, either by
outside or inside influences.
Land monopoly has caused half the revo-
lutions of history.
Land monopoly begins in landlordism.
And the history of landlordism has a thous-
and lessons for the people of the United
States today.
We are now actually face to face with
new form of this ancient problem. 1t pre-
sents itself to us in the guise of the 99-year
lease. The form of real estate transaction
is no longer novelty in large cities. Hun
dreds of landlords now refuse to consider
a sale of valuable property. They rent it
out on the 99-year plan.
And the majority of their fellow citizens
looN upon this system with indifference.
Yet it is an insidious and tremendous
threat to democracy.
Most of the present values of land have
grown out of social progress. Growth in
population and growth in average wealth
OF community are two of the things which
raise rents
But the citizens who create the new
values have no part in the profits.
Even the most subtle of the economists
have never attempted to abolish some sys-
tenn OF rents. Henry George did not make
this proposal. What he desired was to do
away with the private receipt of rents.
In this country we have notion that we
have actual ownership of the land But if
we fail to pay our taxes, the land which we
think we own is confscated by the govern
ment. We are all, in the end, simply renters,
who can be put off the land, if we fail to
pay our rents, known to the government as
taxes.
By following this road, economists tell
Us, we may finally arrive at some cure for
landlordism and land monopoly
And they add that if the government
controlled all land and took over the
rentals in the form of taxes, there would be
no need of tariffs, internal revenues and the
multiplicity of special taxes which we are
| at present curesd with.

AN INTERESTING PART OF
ESCAMBIA COUNTY TO VISIT

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In the construction of some culverts
on the Pensacola and Flomaton public
road travel has been diverted though
the old towns of Roberts and Con
zales and the still older village Of
Powelton, a group Of little cities in
Escambia county, well worth seeing
by the travelling public.
In going north leaving the Fiona
ton road at Roberts, takes one through
these interesting old villages that has
a history dating back to long before
the civil war. The old homes now
being made new again by a class of
farmers that are making life worth
living again. There are farms, gar
dens and bee culture in these old. old
places only mile apart. This road
is a public road maintained by the
county and with the exception of a
half mile of road just north of Powell
ton, that could be put in good con-
dition with a very little work. The
drive is an ideal one.
Pensacola motor cars in a two-hour
spin can see it all. Leave the much
travelled Flomaton road, with its dust
and hurry, and you viii see a part
Of Escambia county that you never
dreamed of before.
A sign at Roberts and one lust
north Of Powelton on The FIomaton
road viii do the work and for many
years our side tracked neighbors can
again see the wheels go round.

America Being Taught
Lessons in Political Economy

rs result of the various learned in
quiries, it is now pretty conclusively estab-
u.s. that the present jump in the price of
gasoline is due to the cutting off of the
European market, which has compelled a
certain disintegrated monopoly to raise at
..v...e the necessary revenues with which to
pay interest and dividends on its watered
stocks and bonds.
Thus, dear students, do we perceive, I'M
der the benevolent system of private own
ership of public necessities, the perfect
operation of the time-honored law of de-
mand and supply in determining price.
