A GROSS EVIL
HUGE LAND HOLDINGS MENACE
TO SOCIETY
California Commission on Immigra-
tiOn and Housing Believe Grad
uated Land Tax Would
Remedy Evil

San Francisco-Huge land holdings
in this state are a menace to society
and should be broken up by some
plan (which centers about a gradu
ated land tax" is a summary Of
report on large land holdings in
southern California by the California
commission on immigration and
housing.
The commission says that Large
holdings of tillable land, or land in
which even a moderate portion is
tillable, are productive of a long
train of evils.
'"To recount them in the face of
the fact that they have been re-
counted with almost indentical par
ticularity by every land reformer
from ancient Hebrew times to the
present, seems a needless waste of
effort. 1t is enough for present pur-
poses to say that they are recog
nized by every one who has not
material interest in the maintenance
of exploitation through the land,
and that long ago (1879) this recog-
milton was written into the con-
stitution of California.
"The fact, according to Dr. Arthur
Nichols Young, in his "The Single
Tax Movement in the United States,'
that this declaration was passed
with laugh for political reasons
does not lessen the enduring fact
that it is an integral part of the
organic law and might have been
expected to exert some influence on
California legislation. But the policy
and practice of the state have been
the contrary of what is therein ex-
pressly stated.
ga remedy, thorough going and of
immediate application, is needed. On
the one hand, the holding of large
areas of land should be made
economically undesirable to the in
dividual, the family or the corpora
ton; on the other hand, the inten-
sive use of the soil, in small allot-
ments, should be promoted by the
state through every means in its
power"
While the commission is most
guarded in its conclusions and
recommendation, it says:
against an evil so gross and so
deeply rooted, and defended by IN
terest so powerful and so uncom-
promising, any proposal Of remedies
must seem audacious."

Carpenters Advance

Marysville, Cal.-Carpenters wages
have advanced to 81 day as re-
suit of an agreement between en-

costs were maintained the $6-a-day
rate would be abandoned.
East Liverpool, Ohio-Carpenters
union has raised wages to 85 cents
an hour. The old rate was 70 cents.
Austin, Texas-A 10-days' lockout
terminated when the Planning Mills
association and Carpenters union
No. 300 reached an eight-hour day
agreement. Wages will be $3.50 per
day for bench men and 60 cents an
hour for machine men, with time and
a half for over eight hours and double
time for Sundays.

No Change in Policy
Says the Postal Chief

Washington-The claim that Post
master General Burleson's recent
order that checked a strike of cleo
trical workers was recognition of
trade unionism was considered so i'm
portant by the postal chief that he
wrote local newspaper to correct
this impression. He says his policy
has not changed.
The order provides, in effect, that
where telephone companies negOti-
ated with trade unions before wire
control, they will continue that prac-
tice. This paragraph reads:
"Where prior to government con-
troll company dealt with represent
atives chosen by the employees to act
for them who were not in the employ
of the company, they shall hereafter
do so."
In no part of the order does Mr..
Burleson indicate to anti-uniOn COM
panies that they shall change their
policy toward recognizing represent
atives of their employees who are not
employed by the companies-or, IN
other words, to deal with the unions.
Neither does the order contain any
intimation that the postal chief has
changed his attitude toward unions
of government employees. This atti-
tude was shown last August in let
ter to officers of the letter carriers,
railway mail clerks and postal en-
ployes who asked him to recognize
these unions.
Mr.. Burleson refused to deal with
any person not in the postal service
and called attention to his last an
nual report in which he stated that
he favored postal employees uniting
for their "social and mutual welfare,
and appearing before committees in
congress when requested"
