AMERICAN LEGION news

Twelve prominent lawyers OF Ne
braska have been selected by the Ne
braska department of the American
Legion to represent that organlzaton
in the coming legal. battle with the
German Evangelical Lutheran synod
of Missouri, which has filed suit to an
null the Reed Norval language law.
The purpose of the law is to make
English the basic language of all
schools. including public, private and
parochial. Its passage was sought by
the American Legion.
The LAWYERS who are to direct the
defense of the language law are mem
bers of the American Legion They
held a conference recently at Omaha
when they decided to make formal APP
pearance in the case which will be ar
gued in the district court of Platte
county. It will be the first time in
history of the state that twelve law
yers appear on one side in a legal con-
troversy in the district court.
The petition filed by the Legion law
yers states that the Nebraska depart
ment of the Legion has membership
of 10000 honorably discharged sol
diers, sailors and marines who served
their country in the late war. The
synod claims a membership in Mis-
souri, of 5000.
LemueI Bolles, national adjutant of
the American Legion, has sent a mes
sage to Washington urging that an
Agreement between allied nations be
Reached with regard to fixing the re-
sponsibility for care of disabled Amer
leans who served under other flags
than their own in the world war.
z Bolles cites as an example the case
of Herman L. Chatkoff, pilot of the
Lafayette Esquadrille, who was
wounded while flying under American
command. Neither France nor the
United States. has assumed RESPONSE
bility for his care.
+ Chatkoff gained distinction while
flying in company with such men as
Lufberry, Prince and Thaw Vie re-
turned wounded to ibis home at Win
throp, Mass, and his parents were
unable to support him. Temporary
disqualification has been obtained for
him by members of the American
legion. but Washington officials con-
tend that he never was officially dis
Charged from the French army and
that the responsibility for his care
lies with France.

Federal census figures for 1920

board of agriculture.

The proportion of Kansas farm OPP
Grated by tenants is higher than the
average for the entire United states.
In 1910 tenant farms numbered 2,S54,-
SIS or 81 per cent of all farms. In
1920 tenant farms numbered 2,454,146
or 1871 per cent
Leads Neighbor States.
Kansas, however, shows lower per
cent of farm tenants than Iowa (41.O.
Nebraska (41.D, or Illinois (42.D.
Tenantry increased in each OF these
states the last decade in about the
same ratio that it did in Kansas. In
Missouri, for some unexplained rea-
son, tenantry dropped from 29.2 per
cent to 28.S per cent last year.
Governor Allen has long advocated
legislative provision for extension OF
aid to farm purchasers. An amend
ment to the state constitution to make
this possible was adopted last ran, but
because of unfavorable economic con-
ditions enactment of farm aid law
was deferred by the 1921 legislature
at request of the governor.
o. The general effect of farm tenantry,
Secretary Mohler declares, is to dis
sipate the soil and lower productivity.
At the same time the spiritual benefit
of pride in owning ones home is lost.
Ono Year Lease System.
: One of the most important con-
tributing causes of tenantry in KAN
sas Mohler believes, is the one-year
lease system. The tenant never knows
whether or not he will be on the same
farm more than a year. The natural
tendency is for him to plant cash
crops, disregarding principles OF rota-
ton and cropping which build up SOIL
fertility. Livestock can not be pro-
duced on a large scale because of the
uncertainty of tenure. This also rops
the soil OF possible fertility.
Mohler points out, however, that II
n
farm than to go too heavily in debt.
AS a rule, those who buy on shoe
string" have no capital with which to
provide needed equipment. The re-
suit is the purchaser seldom can pro-
duce enough to pay out. The average
Kansas farm, according to census tlg-
ures, is valued at approximately $15,-
600 for the land and $1,000 for build
ings and equipment.
Decrease i'll Eastern kansas.
The federal figures agree in the
main with a special report on tenantry
prepared by the state board last win
Ter. That report revealed the striking
fact that the per cent of tenants in the
eastern part of Kansas actually de-
creased in the last ten years The per-
centage of increase was largest in the
western counties. Kiowa county, in
the southwest, reported the largest
per cent of tenants, STA, and Butler
county was second with sos. The
other counties ranged from SO down
to 1913 per cent, the lowest, in Hamll-
ton.
