tainly bad for the farmer who must purchase a
farm on part credit. High land values stand as a
wall between the non-owning farmer and the farm
which he rents but wants to own. High land values
do not benefit the small home owner in the town or
city. High land values prevent the renter from be-
coming an owner. High land values do benefit the
landlord, however, because such high land values
stop building decrease competition and inevitably
tend to create monopoly The principal land values
are in the cities and in the mineral and timber
lands. These values are notoriously undertaxed or
not taxed at all, and hence such values keep on
increasing.

but building stopped. Rents rose rapidly, forcing

taxes wrongly applied also increased the cost of

Then another thing happened which was inevi-

Now, there is something peculiar about land

charged during the campaign that
Van Lear, in a speech at Superior,
Wis, had called the United States
Flag " a dirty rag" Van Lear imme-
diately demanded retraction, brand
ing the charge as utterly false and in
violation of the corrupt practices act
which is supposed to regulate elec-
tions in Minnesota. Instead of re-
tracing and apologizing, Leach pro-
duced an affidavit of former notori-
GUS open-town mayor of Superior,
who ran a questionable hotel there
and who was driven from politics by
the moral reform forces of the city.
This notorious character, known as
"Silver Joe," swore that Van Lear had
made the statement about the Flag at
a Labor Day meeting at Superior.
Van Lear Immediately produced all
the newspapers published at Superior
which reported the speech in question,
showing that no such statement was
attributed to him at the time, and he
also got affidavits from large num-
ber of responsible, prominent Superior
people, including the chief Of police
and public officials, who had heard the
speech and who said that nothing of
the kind had been said by Van Lear.
Leach still refused to retract, al
