farm tenancy, but the opening up
of new farms in the northern part
of the state has more than offset
this in Wisconsin"
Farm tenantry increased 4 per
cent in Illinois in the ten-yCar
period from 1909 to 1919, accord
ing to figures compiled by the state
department of agriculture at
Springfield. Tenantry in 1919 was
estimated at 4j.5 per cent
Farm tenantry in Ohio will show
only slight increase over 1910,
in the opinion of A. Q. Falconer,
head of the rural economies de-
partment at Ohio state university.
1t will not be more than ) per cont,
he estimates.
Farm tenantry in Minnesota Is
steadily increasing because of the
advanced prices of farm lands and
hesitanCy on the part of many
retiring farmers to relinQuish title
to their lands, according to Nj. j.
HOlmberg, state commissioner OF
agriculture. A material increase in
tenantry is reported in the south e.
ern counties, where the cost Of land
is high relatively. In the northern
counties the increase Is not so mark
ed, Mr., Holmberg said, because the
land there commands but a com
paratively low price and the influx
of immigrants is large.
In Nebraska an increase of about
per cent in tenant owned farms
from 1910 to 1919 is shown in fig
ures supplied by Leo Stuhr, secre-
tary of the state department Of ag-
riculture.

TEXAS HAS A TEACHER
FOR EVERY F0RTY-0NE
SCHOLARS ENROLLED

Austin, Tex. Oct. 28.-There Is
an average of one teacher for every
forty-one white scholastics in
Texas and an average of one teach
err for every fifty-tive negro scho-
lastics of the state, according to a
compilation of figures from the
state department of education.
Figures for 1919 showed a total
of 24,945 white teachers and 4,056
negro teachers The 1.271, 900
scholastics for this year are divided
1,037,942 whites and 233.156 ne
groes. Figures for teachers do not
include those in normals. universe
ties. ETC., and private schools. and
in reality the fact that number
of the children who are listed as
scholastics never attend public
schools reduces the average num-
Der of pupils per teacher for both
whites and negroes.

FARM TENANTRy
IN MANY STATES
IS INCREASING
tBy The Associated Press)

Chicago, Oct. 2S-The increase
in farm tenantry which has be-
come an issue in Kansas does not
appear uniform throughout the
central west, according to reports
received here from num-
Der of agricultural authorities
While the majority of the several
states heard from report an ad-
vance, Wisconsin, notes no change,
owing to the opening of new farms
and oklahoma declares a decrease
Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Ohio show increases. The situation
in the various states named Is thus
indicated:
Farm tenantry in oklahoma has
shown a decrease during the ten
years of 1910, according to figures
from each county compiled by II.
II, Stutz, federal statistician for
the state. In 1910, farm owners
made up 45 per cent of the tillers
of soil, and renters SIS per cent
while now owners represent SO per
cent and renters As per cent. Near
ly every section Of the state showed
a decrease in the number of rent
ers, according to Mr.. Shutz, who
based his report on returns from
all farms in the state, numbering
approximately $4,000. Mr.. Shut
noted a growing tendency on the
part of renters to buy small
tract, from ten to twenty acres, and
rent adjoining land. He said high
crop prices have enabled many
renters to swing into the owner
column.
"The percentage of rented farms
has remained about the same and,
in a few cases, has increased some
what in the southern half OF Wis
consin, so the economic condition
there is not very different from
the conditions in the corn belt
states" Joseph a. Becker, agricul-
tural statStiCian at Madison, Wis,
writes. However, the large num-
Der of new farms being opened up
in the northern part of the state,
practically all of which are oper-
ated by owners, has more than kept
up the percentage of owned farms.
Summing up, there has been some
tendency toward an increase in

would attend the convention but
did not do SO, according to Mr.. Aus
tin. +. B. Swope, who also attend
ed the convention, said that he was
informed that Mr.. Cote was asked
on three occasions during the day
to attend the convention but did
not do SO.
In an afternoon newspaper
Thursday, Mr. Cote is reported to
have said: LAS chairman of the
Non Partisan Political campaign
committee, I submitted to both can
didates for governor, Judge Me-
chem and Mr.. Hanna, the question
naire of the league
Another Point Cleared Up.
Mr.. Austin stated that he does
not know whether Mr.. Cote did
this or not. but that the duty of
sending out the questionnaires had
been assumed by him to be his
duty as secretary of the organiza-
ton and that he did send one of
the missionaries to Judge
Mechem in q registered letter. He
has not been informed that the
registered letter was not delivered
and he received no answer from
Judge Mechem. he said.
Mr.. Austin admitted that Mr.. Cote
might be within his rights in ac-
cepting a questionable from a
candidate of the partisan
league but declared that he did not
see that Mr.. Cote was privileged
to keep the QUESTIONABLE in his
possession. The full convention
and no officer of the league. in Mr.
Austin's judgment, not even MI
Cote, had the right to withhold the
uuestionnaire from the convention
Some Unanswered Questions.
In a statement in an afternoon
newspaper Thursday. Mr.. Cote
stated that he had answered fully
all questions asked him by the
Morning Journal concerning Judge
Mechem's QUESTIONABLE which Mr.
Cote says was handed to him, Mr.
Cote has not answered the follow
ing questions:
Why did you not make public
Judge Mechem's reply within a
reasonable time after it came into
your possession?
Why did you not transmit this
renly to G, w. hugtin. secretary OF
the partisan league?
Was your delay in handing this
reply to the press been done at
Judge Mechem's request?
Has it been done on your own
responsibility?
If done at Mechem's instance,
what reason did he give you for
this request?
If done on your own RESPONSE
biity why did you do it?
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-10-29

QuestiOnnaires of the majority of
other candidates on both parties
were available at the state conven-
ton of the league but neither Mr..
Cote or Judge Mechem's question
naire, which Mr.. Cote says Judge
Mechem gave to him here on Sep
TENDER Is. was present at the meet
ing. None of the officers of the
league, or local union labor men,
present at that convention, chew
where Judge Mechem's Question
naire was or where Mr., cote the
president of the leao. de was. if is
stated by those WIZ attended.
Austin Il the Dark.
u w aus SIN, secretary of the
New Mexico Nom Partisan Political
league, stated again yesterday that
Mr., Cote, president of the organi-
>ation, had not, to his best recol-
lection, informed him that he had
received the answered the an
swered QUESTIONABLE of Judge Me-
chem at any time between Septem-
Der Is, the day Mr.. Cote says Judge
Mechem gave him the question
naire, and october II, the date of
the state convention of the Nom
Partisan league when the question
naires were opened by the commit
tee of the league.
Mr.. Cote asserted last night that
he had told Austin one night at the
Santa Fe depot that he had several
questionnaires, including Judge
Mechem's. He expressed himself
as confident that Mr.. Austin would
recall this circumstance.
Mr.. Austin also stated that some
other mail of the organization
of which Mr. Cote was president,
had gone to Mr. Cote and that on
several occasions Mr.. Cote had
turned this mail to him as secre-
tary- of the organization,
Why Mr.. Cote did not turn over to
him the questionnaires which he
says Judge Mechem gave to him,
he does not know.
Other missionaries In.
Other candidates, with few eX-
ceptions, mailed their question
naires to Mr.. Austin, secretary of
the organization, Mr.. Austin de-
clared. He recalls no instance of
questionnaires having come TO Mr..
Cote and stated that his reco lee
ton is that Mr.. Cote did not turn
over any questionnairos to him.
On the day that the Non Parti-
san league convention was held
here, there was no QUESTIONABLE
from Judge Mechem, Mr.. Austin
said. If he had known that Mr..
Cote had the QUESTIONABLE, he
would have asked Mir. Cote for it,
he said. Mr.. Cote told him the
morning of the convention that he
