The LandIess Soldier and the Manless
\ Land
Land
The Pacific Echo)

When men have been denied the use
of the land for about SO many genera
tions the spirit Of revolution has got
ten hold of them and trouble ensued.
Witness Russia, Mexico and South
Africa. When men are denied the
right to cultivate the soil, to really
produce the necessaries of life, they
become discouraged and ready for amy
experiment which seems to offer re-
lief.
| If there is not at present a land
problem in the United States there
will be one before many years, and
history will repeat itself in disturb
ances and troubles of more or less
serious character. Just now there is
plenty of talk about putting soldiers
on the land, just as though it would
be an easy matter. The men who
prate loudest about the soldier going
back to the land would not cultivate
the soil himself for love or money! He
does not understand the problem of
production and marketing. He does
not know from bitter experience what
it means to carve farm out of the
wilderness.
Had the people of the United States
been wise in the matter of legislation
affecting land titles there need be no
land problem under the Stars and
Stripes. The early settler took up
what land he could cultivate, and he
developed the country from the bot
tom up. Later the spirit of specula-
ton gained foothold and the land
was given away, 1t was said, to set
tiers, hut the bulk of it went to rail-
ways and spectators. AS suddenly,
wild desire to develop the whole wide
west in few short years brought
about abuses from which the country
will not recover IN a century.
The census figures for land owner
ship, for the year 1900--and the con-
.ditions are worse today-showed that
1926 persons owned more than 2OO,-
100000 acres Of land, the average size
of tract being 1890 acres. But this is
not the worst Of it. In the heavily

Mr.. Donnelly being a bachelor was
obliged to submit to much good nat
ured raillery, but his popularity had
much to do with the passage of the
bill.
Isl Donnelly was one of the most
lovable men and one of the most trust
worthy. The timers of his school
are fast disappearing in the north.
The loss thus occasioned Is of a char
acter that can not be supplied"

timbered regions where land is ex-
tremely valuable on account of the
timber growing upon it, 1894 persons
and corporations are shown aus hay
ing title to 1O5,O0O,0OO acres With
this monopolistic tendency in land
holding, what chance would a soldier
without either experience or capital
have in the contest with failure on the
land?
True we are living in a fast age,
While it required nearly 300 years to
settle the land east of the Mississippi
river, it required less than so years
for all the good publicly owned land
west of the river to fall into private
ownership. While much of the land
in the eastern states was held in small
tracts, such as an average man could
cultivate and develop, much of the
land in the west passed into large
holdings and was sequestered from
it for the benefit of himself and fam
lily and for the permanent develop
ment of the community and the COM
monwealth.
1t was only natural, with conditions
such as had been created by an I'M
wise land policy, that tenacy should
become the rule in this country. And
land tenacy always has been a trou-
BILE breeder in every country, Take a
look at the problem in Oklahoma, one
of the richest and newest states OF
the union. Twenty-Five years ago the
land in Oklahoma was thrown open to
settlement. No strings were attach
ed to the passing of title. Now OK
lahoma Is a commonwealth of tenant
farmers. Recent figures show more
than 100000 tenant farmers and 81
per cent Of the farms said to be own
ed by the men operating them are un-
der mortgage.
1t would seem to be mere hot air TO
talk about returning soldiers going
upon the land in the west, in the face

the federal reserve board. just made
public, the United States imported
gold to the amount Of s75,s44.75S dur
ing the last calendar year. The ex-
portations during the same period
amounted to sS54,66s,l4o. Therefore
we have $27s, 3S7 less Of gold TO
worry the financiers, foreign and do
nestle, than we had a year ago. we
are more than quarter of billion
dollars poorer in gold than we were
then.
Beginning with this month the ex-
nortations will fall off, If trade oper-
ates in the way it does in normal
years. In June and July exports are
usually at their lowest ebb, while
they reach high tide in November ana
December. Hence it was not strange
that the exports for November were
so great. They were probably still
greater in December. 1t Is probable
that the importations will increase
while the expectations decrease. This
will tend to further increase our ex-
portations of gold.
1t may be well for us to consider
where the most of the gold exports
went. The official report shows that
s1sS, 1871 $40 went to oriental countries
OF this one-half went to Japan. Near
" one-fourth of the total expectations
were made to Japan. However, we do
not hear Japan worrying because her
gold surplus is piling UP, nor does she
advocate lessening her production 50
as to avoid the menace of too much
gold.
Stated in round numbers $1SS,OOO,s
900 in gold was exported to Oriental
countries in 1919, while only $l5o,Ooo,-
l
900 was exported to European and
South American countries combined.
This should cause us to pause and
consider the situation. Free TRADERS
decry amy revision of the tariff in the
near future because Europe needs an
outlet for her goods and if we raise
tariff duties the effect will he to less
en- our importations from Europe. But
an examination of the figures show
that oriental countries, and not those
of Europe, will be the greatest bene-
ficiaries. We shall simply increase
our imports from Japan and other
Asiatic countries, without greatly
benefitting Europe. Worst of all. we
shall injure our own industries and
our own wage earners.
When a pseudo economist advocates
a continuation of our free trade tariff
act so as to increase our importations
| from Europe, we wonder what he
thinks the American wage Garner is
going to do. There is not going to be
any lessening of the demand for
goods. Hence if we increase our i'm
,portations we shall decrease our con-
sumption of American products That.
in turn, decreases the earnings of our
workmen, the ones who are least able
to stand any loss of employment, or
diminution of earning capacity. We
shall staf,ve our own free people, os-
tensibly to feed Europe but really to
feed the oriental hordes who will be
the real beneficiaries.

DEPORT THE REDS, BUT PAY
TEACHERS MORE.

| BY deporting IA few thousand reds
the federal authorities hope to end the
agitation for the overthrow of the
\ oliceman who thinks the only way to
prevent crime is to destroy or incar-
cerate the criminal.
No doubt William J. Flynn will be
surprised when he finds that his raids
and the governments deportations
have not stopped the spread of radi-
eahsm. This is not to argue that the
Ideportations are unnecessary or I'M
lavailing On the contrary they will
serve a useful purpose, for they will
eliminate a peril that can neither be
killed nor cured-the peril of the

cesses of reasoning that do not bear
the peculiar stamp of his own fanati-
cism. The sooner we rid the country
of these dangerous zealots the better,
but when we have uprooted them
| from our soil and hurled them forth
upon the sea, we have just begun our
| task.
No nsn fnll hat tha mol III Of
Europe are so much in earnest that
theX are willing to send millions in
gold out of Russia to propagandize
the United States SO much faith
have they in their own doctrine and
works that they are reserving for
themselves only the tons of paper
money, which, if they fail, will Oe
worth nothing. They trust so much in
the triumph of their ideals that they
are pouring gold into United States
to circulate the teachings of class ha-
tired, social revolution and the de-
struction of our representative de-
mocracy. In other words, they are
paying their teachers we'll in far off
lands with the hope of educating our
people against patriotism and for in
ternationalism.
1t is a situation unparalleled in his
tory. Unless we meet it on its own
ground and fight it to "a finish we can
not hope to win. And what does this
connote? 1t means that we must meet
education with education.

BREAKING THE HEART OF THE
WORLD.

WORLD.
President Wilson has been very in
sistent upon the passage of the
treaty Of peace without modification
or reservation and has insisted that
the failure of the United States SEN
ate to ratify it as presented would
break the heart Of the world" There
has been more than a suspicion in
the minds of majority of the peo-
pie Of this country that he was in
more danger of being heartbroken
over the failure OF his pretentious
program to revolutionize the world,
than was the world itself. He in
sisted that Europe demanded that
the treaty be ratified without change
and that any anodificat ion, whether
in the form Of amendment or of res
eWation, would endanger it. But it
appears that the suspicion that he
was speaking twice for himself and
once only for the world was well
founded. This is what Sir George
Paish, British economist and states
man, has to say regarding our rati-
lications of the peace treaty;
Whatever America wants will be
acceptable to Europe. If America
feels that certain reservations to the
treaty of Versailles are necessary,
that is Americas business. and no
ally nation has any wish to dictate.
Nor have l discovered any hostility
to reservations on the part of states
men and financiers who count.
mo; Europe understands America
quite well enough to perceive that
there is nothing hurtful to Europe in
the present treaty situation based on
the demand for reservations.
1T is, however, essential to the
welfare of the whole world that Am
erica ratify the treaty as swiftly as
may be. l am not If you please, Of
fering my opinion. I am assuming to
convey in few words what have
found European sentiment to be. That
is let America raafy in any manner
she wishes to. We merely pray that
her assent will soon be recorded
1t. therefore, appears that the one
who is guilty of breaking the heart Of
the world is not the United States
senate, in it's patriotic stand to pre-
serve our national independence, but
Mr.. Wilson himself in his endeavor to
have his own way or wreck the
treaty. What the world wants, and
what the United States senate, but
for Mr.. wilson's interference and ait
tempt at dominance, would have
granted, is ratification of the treaty,
with or without reservations. The
main thing is peace formally declar-
ed, and not any insistence upon car
rying out Mr.. Wilson's program. The
terms on which we are willing to rat
ify the treaty and enter into the lea
que Of nations are as Sir George so
well and truly says, Americas bust
ness" 1t is not woodrow wilson's
business unless he Is in accord with
public sentiment in this country. Pub
lie sentiment has been very clearly
expressed at the polls and the United
States senate Is simply carrying out
the mandate OF the people when 1T in
sists upon reservations.
1t is time for Mr.. Wilson to cease
his obstructive policy, allow the as
sent Of the country through it's
the senate, to be "soon
and to cease from his will
