| NEW YORK, June 14.-Will Her.
bert c. Hoover solve the problem in a
big, permanent way, or will he attempt
to patch up Americas machinery Of
production in the hope of just pull
ing through?"
Hoovers job is to see that the
world is fed. On paper, it may he
limited to supervising distribution and
| consumption. But it will work back
to production, for if Hoover doesn't
have enough to distribute and sees
something wrong with the producing
machinery his duty will be to say so
and to do something about it.
What will Hoover find when the
supply runs short and he starts to
learn the reason?
He will find that nearly half of the
farm land in the United States was
uncultivated when the last census was
taken in 1910. (And land lying fall
low is included under the head of i'm
proved farm land in the census fig
ures.)
He will find that 226,512,S43 acres,
or nearly half of the farm land in the
United States, is in the hands Of ten
ants, always inefficient and IMPROVE
dent farmers, and that tenantry is in
creasing.
Value Of Farm Land.
He will find that the value of farm
land in the United States increased
800 per cent from 1900 to 1915, ac-
cording to the Department of Agricul-
lures official figures, and that from
1919 to 1916 alone the increase was
25.7 per cent.
He will find that farm lands cannot
pay decent interest on the purchase
price, because that price is speculative,
and based on the privilege Of holding
it for the still higher prices that are
sure to come. A would-be farmer
! with enough capital to buy farm can
make more money by buying govern
ment bonds at 3k per cent and liv-
ing in idleness.
He will find that because of the
high speculative price OF farm lands,
no one buys farm lands these days ex-
| cept the wealthy speculator. When a
farmer grows old and moves to town,
he rents his farm to a tenant. If his
boy had grown to manhood in the
meantime, he went to the city to work,
because land is SO high that he could
not have bought a farm Of his own
| with what he could save himself and
| what his father could spare for him.
So every time real, old-fashioned,
farm-owning farmer drops out these
days, his place is taken by a. tenant
or his farm lies idle, waiting for the
increasing pressure of the peoples
| needs to force up the selling price.
! But getting back to Mr.. Hoover:
! He will find, if the career Of a farm
er is hopeless for the average farm
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1917-06-16
WILL HOOVER SOLVE F00DPR0BLEM
Or PATCH MACHINERY TEMPORARILY?

| er's boy. it is hopeless indeed for the
hired man." He will find that agri-
! cultural laborrs are for the most part
migratory and homeless men, working
for small wages and belonging to the
dregs Of the labor market" This is
so because wages are small, work tenn
porary, the life migratory, and land
ownership with independence not to be
hoped for. -
More Than Patriotism.
Then, perhaps, Mr.. Hoover will
grasp the fact that patriotism alone
will not get and keep men on the
falls. He will see what is wrong
with American agriculture and fooG
production.
All this is not to minimize the evils
besides high land values and land
speculation that hinder the farmer.
But after the distributing and mar
ketlng machinery has been made all
that it should be and the farmer is
getting his full share, Mr.. Hoover will
still find between him and full food
production the conditions here set
down.
But why wait for Mr. Hoover to
find this out? The evils of land specu-
lation and the blight it has thrown on
agriculture are known and recognized
and proclaimed today by such men as
Commissioner Herbert Quick Of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, Assistant
Secretc ry VroOman of the Department
of Agriculture, Secretary Lane Of the
Department Of the Interior, and a host
Of others.
Why do not these men urge and in
sist upon the levying Of tax on land
values? The country needs huge
revenues. It needs the releasing of
the natural resources held out of use.
It needs food.
Congress Fails to Act.
Congress fails to act because it
thinks the farmer and the public gen.
orally are not ready for action along
this line so clearly indicated by the
country's needs and by every rule of
common sense and of justice.
Yet President Kegley of the Wash
ington State Grange, composed of TO-
600 practical farmers, is not afraid Of
a land value; tax and it's effect on the
farmer. He and his organization real
ize that it will HELP the real farmer:
that it will hit only the land Spectator
in city and country; the owner Of
Stacker acres; the parasite who thrives
on the industry Of others by charging
them for tho use of the land required
by them to perform service to the COM
munity.
President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor urges Congress to
enact such a. tax. He knows the ef-
feet on labor conditions Of situation
on tn efarms that drains the country
districts of men and creates an over.
supply In the Industrial centers.
Let Congress hear from YOU.

 Three hundred additional miners ap- peared for work at the Butte mines today. making the largest number ap- plying for work in any one day since the strike was called on the mines by the Metal Mine Workers union to en- force it's demand of a S6 a day wage and improved working conditions. The striking electricians ask higher wages. The electricians also demand that the Metal Mine Workers union be recog- nized by the mining companies.
 MT. Kelley. who arrived from New York last night, took charge today of the labor situation Announcement that John D. Ryan. president of the company. was to arrive here proved erroneous.

FIND SIX POLICE OFFICIALS GUILTY
 ELECTION FRAUD
TPeoublican A. p. Leased Wire1

INDIANAPOLIS, June 25.-Samuel Y. Perrott, chief of the Indianapolis police, and five others were found guilty of conspiracy to commit cleo ton frauds in connection with the 1914 registration and election by verdict of a jury returned tonight in the United States district court here.
 The others who were convicted were Roy A. Pope. police captain; Wavland Sanders and Morton C. Hulse police sergeants; Lee Stringer, city detective. and Herman F. Adam, city inspector of weights and measures.
 A seventh defendant Frank NJ Johnson, a patrolman, was acquitted by the jury.
 Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger set July 10 for hearing a motion for a new trial
 The convicted men were permitted to go on their present bonds of s2500 to s5000 until tomorrow when the ques- tion of increa sing these will be passed on by the court.
 Seven others who were indicted in the case pleaded guilty some time ago.
 One count of the indictment alleged the prevention of men from voting and the other charged an injury to candi- dates for federal office in that election was prevented by the conspiracy.
 The case grew out of a civil suit for damages for the alleged prevention from voting of a negro in which the 1914 political conditions in one city precinct were exposed.
