City Wealth a Menace.
From the Chicago TRIBUNE,


Ten families W a very large part Of
Cn1cago real estate. Five families con,
Tol-and are supported by enormous
tand holdings. One estate owns 4 per
eep Mt Of all Chicago land.
ngs OF those estates. During 1916 mora
than $1,000.000 worth Of land, the best
tand for commercial purposes, was add
ed to them. Between these 10 families
post loop property is monopolized.
.he 10 families themselves are scati
tered all over the world. Few membera
OF them personally count for anythina
IN chicago. They are able, because. Chti
cago Is a profitable and prosperous en1
terprise. to build palaces abroad. They
can buy peerages If they like. They can
live in California or Florida, or England
Or Italy. They can forget all about Chi;
cago.
Large fortunes in the hands Of men
who live in Chicago and work in Chi
cage are not especially dangerous. The
interests Of such men run parallel with
the interests of the city. Their personal
happiness depends somewhat on theiE
relations with less pecunious Chicago,
hna .
But the benefciaries Of estates do
not have to come into contact with Chi
cage opinion at all. They are out Of
reach. So long as the checks continue
to arrive and the coupons are paid at
the banks, they are not aware of Chi
cago one way or another. Their esq
tates are enormous impersonal things.
They are operated in the interests Of
Chicago only as the interests Of Chica-
go are profitable to them. And Chicago
is in their hands.
Every other city In the United Stated
Is faced with the same problem. New
York tenements build palaces for cows
OF the English Astor estate, contribute
to English war funds, buy peerages,,
New York society supports a pillar Of
English society and gets snubbed in res
burn. There is a way out for Chicago
Ind for New York. We must impose an
Inheritance tax so graduated that nd
family or group OF families can evel
accumulate SO much property as to dea
stroy the fact Of our republic.

The price of 80 cents a pound for
cotton to the farmer was agreed up
on at meeting held in New Orleans
Tuesday, Of men interested in grow
ing and marketing cotton in 10
southern states as being justified by
the present selling prices Of manufac-
tured cotton products. The price
was suggested in an amendemnt to
a resolution adopted just previously,
which declared against price regula-
ton Of cotton by Congress or dele
eating Of this authority to any other
body. While many delegates early
advocated holding cotton for mini
mum prices ranging from 30 to AZ
cents, sentiment was against such ac-
ton. The delegates adopted res
olution creating a cotton states Of
ficial marketing board, to be com
posed of commissioners of agricul-
ture, directors of marketing bureaus
and presidents of Farmers Unions.
The board will secure data relative
to cotton demand at home and abroad
and distribute it to farmers. The
sessions were attended by cotton
growers, state commissioners of ag-
riculture, directors of marketing bu-
reaus, officers of farmers unions,
farmers, merchants and bankers
from 10 southern cotton-growing
states, all of whom assembled to con-
slider cost of producing the 1917 crop
and decided upon the advisability Of
setting minimum price for which
the staple should be held by
growers,

SELLING HINTS FOR
BUSINESS FARMERS

Zone of the greatest aids to sue
cessful marketing is the telephone.
Have one installed in your home and
then use 1T to keep in touch with To-
cal markets.
Neat, attractive packages are in
dispensable in marketing farm pro-
ducts to best advantage. Printing
your name or farm name on them
advertises your products, and the ma
terial reaches customers in better
shape.
Name your farm and print that
name on letterheads and marketing
containers. Let consumers know that
the name of your farm stands for
prompt service and high class pro-
duce.
The motor truck is a great aid to
economical and satisfactory market
ing. 1t saves the time of both horses
and men and delivers products to
your customers in better condition.
Take pencil and figure out what it
costs you to market by team, and
this may show you where you can use
truck to advantage,
When the farmer has anything to
sell. it pays to advertise, especially
in local papers. In the matter Of
seeds and breeding stock, it win pay
to advertise in more widely circulated
publications, if one has any quantity
of seed or stock for sale.
When land is not over ten miles
from a fairly large town and can
be bought cheap, it doesn't necessari-
ly mean that the land is worthless.
More often you will find that "what
ails, it" is the road leading to town
is in bad shape. Good roads mean
quick marketing and larger profits.
There is not farmer in the South
who would think of sending his child
rem to school where students, both
old and young, mature and immature
were placed in the same class, yet
many do not hesitate to put little ap-
pies and big apples in the same bar
rel wormy peaches and sound peach
es in the same basket, small potatoes
and large potatoes in the same bag,
when they are to be sold. PROPER
grading is just as essential to mar
keting as it is to efficient teaching.

WHAT is DEMOCRACY?

To the Editor of The st. Louis Globe
Democrat:
Sir-I see that Mr.. Balfour now
calls himself a democrat. So does
Mr.. Root. Lord Northcliffe is now
an evangelist for democracy" Mr.
Roosevelt recently called himself a
democrat Of democrats" And
there are others, so many them
in office, drawing comfortable sal
aries and beyond the reach of OPP
preston, that | hope all of them will
stand the crucial test Of American
democracy. AS | understand it, an
American democrat is pledged by
loyalty to the constitution and insti.
tutions Of his country always to raj
ly to the support of an oppressed
minority, in his own country, his
own state, his own township, first
He is never to inflict oppression, and
he is always to resist it when others
are oppressed with his assent assum-
ed as a warrant. If he were called
on to liberate the world by begin
ming with oppression at home, he
would resist oppression at home, ev.
en- If he bacame thus one of the OPP
pressed minority at home. Do VIZ
not need such democracy now, nj
matter what name it may bear wher
everywhere oppression, showing its
worst of the present, offers no hope
of liberation, except through its owr
increase? When the worst is self
evident, what help can there be I'M

Within the past twelve months the
world has consumed over 100000
bales of cotton while the worlds
production was only 100000 bales.
This single fact points to the future
price of cotton. When consumption
