CANADA PLANS FOR
LAND SETTLEMENT
New Policy to Meet the Times Pre-
scented to Provinces by
Government.

Ottawa. Ont. Dec, 31.-A memoir
andum relating~t to land settlement in
Canada, now being considered by the
various provincial governments, has
been made available for publication
by the dominion government. No
denitely settled policy is outlined by
the federal government. but the
memorandum overs proposals, the
adoption of which either in whole or
in part will be determined in a large
by the action of the various
provincial legislatures.
Necessity for tho adoption of pro-
2ressive misunderstanding towards q
continued rapid increase in the popu-
lation Of Canada is noted, with the
remark that the policies heretofore
pursued in IN endeavor to secure
suitable immigration haye become
obsolete and largely ineffective"
The proposed land settlement
policy is outlined as follows:
Development of a nation wide SEN
tinent in favor of increased agricul-
tural settlement and productions; en-
couragement of a movement from
urban centers to rural districts;
avoidance Of overcrowding in urban
centers with a surplus of labor: the
securing of suitable settlers in large
numbers for vacant lands, including
abandoned farms: creation of condi-
tions whereby suitable settlers with
small means (including tenants) may
in the curse Of time become owners
of their farms; to prevent owners
from fixing an unreasonable or in
flated selling price for their lands
each province should provide for a
special provincial tax on wild lands,
abandoned farms and leased farms;
each province should take power to.
appropriate lands required for settle
ment purposes.
should be established in connection,
with the department of immigration
and colonization a social welfare bu-
reau to assist in the care Of immi-
grants.

DANIELS ASKS
FOR $4,000
MEN FOR NAVY
Wants Increases in Pay For
Sailors to be Made
Permanent.


Washington. Dec. 31.-secretary
Daniels asked the house naval COM
mittee today to provide for a tenn
porary increased naval personnel OF
100000 men for the year beginning
next July, leaving the question Of a
permanent peace time personnel to be
determined after a detailed study OF
during the summer under the direc-
ton Of Admiral Benson. He also
sought authority to transfer 1000
officers among the reserve force to
the permanent naval establishment.
Mr.. Daniels also asked the commit
tee.to write into the new appropria-
ton bill a provision making perma-
nent the wartime pay increases for
enlisted men. This would give in
creases of Sc to SIS a month over the
pre-war scale, making the pay range
from $50 to $51 a month.

Iron range cities and towns will get

~oS ,:
the world over. the only fractional
differences being as to methods of
procedure.
~"I have never" he said, "been one
of those radicals who believed that
the world could be turned upside
down over night. I believed in evo-
luton rather than revolution. 1t may
be slower but the results are more
permanent. Human society is an
organism which must be gradually
altered as it grows"
Discussing the Socialist war pro-
gram adopted at st. Louis in 1917 in
which the party expressed opposition
to the entrance of the United States
into the war. the witness said~khat he
did not approve the language of the
document. There were three shades
Of 'opinion at the meeting, he said, the
conservation, which he shared; the
radical. and the ultra-radical. Berger
said he did not address the conven-
ton. At this meeting John Spargo
accused. the party of pro-Germanism
and resigned from the executive COM
mittee. Spargo was an Englishman
who came to this country %in-1901. but
did not become a citizen until three
years ago, Berger said.
Articles against war written by
John Spargo and published in Social
list papers were read to the jury. Ber-
ger said that the prohibition party
platform was essentially as strong
against val as the Socialist platform.
Sections Of the prohibition platform
were read in court. Witness said he
had observed that the fewer Socialists
there were i'll a community the more
radical they We're.
In Milwaukee, he said, with 10000
Socialists, there was a much more
conservative view because there was
opportunity for frequent open meet
ings and discussion. He said his wife
city school board and was at present
a member of the state board of edu-
cation.
Witness considered Irwin St, John
fuckers THE Price We Pay" a bril-
liant effort, but thought it should
have been carefully edited before it
was published.
Tucker belonged to the "impos-
siblist" wing Of the party. II do not
approve of the Young Peoples Social
list League and that there were but
three branches of it in Wisconsin.
Witness said he never knew of any
code letters nor of an underground
route to Mexico for slackers. He said
that the council of defense of Mil
waukee was organized by Socialists
and became a model throughout the
country. OF Prof. Haessler, who is
serving a 12-year prison term be-
cause he refused to don a soldiers
uniform, Berger said:
"He is a noble fellow. but too
jealous. l tried to persuade hiirf to
comply with the law but did not sue
ceed."
The Milwaukee Leader was exclud.
ed from the mails in 1917 and Berger
told of efforts to have the ban raised.

Why Our Streets Are So

craters which spell death to vehicles And what is worse
the widely used army truck is constantly breaking down
that asphalt which is left and is making once

People ask me: "Why don't the Commissioners hx

in fair condition within month. The condition Of
roads matter Of the gravest to and

about fifty per cent Of normal force) practically

TTT HILE on q brief visit to
" another city a friend Of
mine introduced me to .
girl VIII had for q number Of
years been studying the art Of
gem-setting. She had pursued it,
because Of her love for it and be-
cause she possessed a special
aptitude, but with no idea Of using
il commercially.
Then her father suffered .
series Of reverses In his business
and lost almost everything he
had. II was necessary for the
girl to do her share in supporting
herself and assisting the family,
and naturally she fell back upon
the craft to which she had given
80 much study.
A Real Gloom.
Her work struck me as beautiful
and unusual. An adorable pin Of
unique design and set with opals
captured my fancy, and ! express
ed my admiration. Back in my
mind was the determination TO
have 1t, IL It broke me.
'It's nice Of you to like it." the
girl said. Il think the design Is
attractive. But II seems aWfully
presumptious in me TO be actually
starting out to sell my work.
When / see the exquisite things
that are done by real artists, my
attempts look painfully amateur
ish. am very far from possess
ing the skill and finish l hope to
attain"
Now, please bear in mind that
she had something to sell. / was
a chance customer, who admired
her work and had every intention
of buying some of it. But this
was the psychological effect Of
her words. A faint chill came
over me. l hesitated and looked
at the pin again, this time more
critically. 1t was a pretty thing,
but il was not especially cheap
not cheap enough to wear once
or twice, and then throw aside.
