The report of the department of
agriculture showing that farm land
values are increasing by leaps and
bounds is construed by the Chicago
Herald as an indication of prosperity
Of the land speculator, it is right.
Ii it includes therein the prosperity
of the wealth producers, it is mis-
taken. unless 1T cal show that there
has been proportionate increase in
productivity. Increasing land values
make it harder for tenant farmers to
become owners, and harder for far
mers to become owners, and harder
for farmers seeking farms to get
them. If it is possible to get large
returns without labor from an invest
ment in farm lands, then land will be
largely bought for speculation instead
of use, and many owners will be
tempted to put tenants on their lands
and live At ease off the labor of
others.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

AS citizens of this republic we are
proud of our country. and tradition,
history in fact, makes US proud of
our nation as "a government of, by
and for the people," But the facts
are that we have wandered far from
the simple government established
by our fathers. If we only knew how
many people this government EN-
ployes, the salaries paid them and
the work they do, or, rather the work
they don't do, we would be more
than amazed. The discussion of a bill
now before congress, or rather an
amendment to an appropriation bill,
makes known the fact that 40, 900
clerks are employed in the executive
department alone. Then we wonder
now many there are in the other de-
partments, and in the various work
done by the nation in all parts of the
country. The amendment mentioned
adds an hour to each days require
ment of work instead of hiring add.
tional clerks, and the congressman
who offered the amendment says it
would save the treasury "a, 900, 600 a
wear.
