The March
OF Euents


~ REPRESENTATIVE FREAR is
exactly right in his denuncia-
- ton of that part of the tariff
bill which gives the Dye Trust COM
plete control Of American markets
for years TO come.
The American Dye Trust was
formed BY the sale Of alien property
and patents by A. Mitchell Palmer
and Francis P. Garvan, as Alien
Property Custodians, to the Chemi-
cal Foundation, Of which Francis
P. Caravan 10 president. There are
$500 of these patents, and though
worth millions Of dollars, they were
sold to Mr.. Caravans corporation for
$250,OOO.
The Chemical Foundation was un-
derwritten by the Dupont Corpora
ton and the resulting Dye Trust
has made an agreement with the
British Dye Trust, the Levenstein
Company, to divide the world be-
tween themselvesEthe American
Dye Trust to have all Of North, Gen.
trail and South America as its mo-
nopoly.
To use the new tariff law to forti-
fy this monopoly and to make every
one Of us pay toll to it is villain
GUS proposition.
The dye patents sold to this Trust
by collision and fraud were prop
erty held in trust by the United
States Government, to be held and
finally disposed of to the best ad-
vantage Of the nation in the final
settlement of war claims.
The difference between the real
value of these patents and the sum
for which they were obtained by
the corporation Of which the former
Alien Property Custodian is the
present head, is the amount of
which the people of the United
States were defrauded. And on top
of that this impudent outfit are now
lobbying to have the Congress make
our people pay another great tribute
to the dye monopoly by barring
competition from the country and
surrendering us wholly to the e1-
ploitation Of the Dye Trust. +.
The only right thing to do is to
investigate all the proceedings Of
this Dye Trust, including its deal
ings with the Alien Property Gus
todians and punish where punish
ment is due and compel restitution
where restitution is due.
The Dye Trust ought to be choked
to death, not fed to bursting with
money taken from American work
ers through the power Of a mo-
nopoly created by the Congress.
Talk about our obligations to
"our allies" and the moral upright
eousness Of making a separate peace
with the German Republic is igno-
rant nonsense.
We had no "allies" in the war.
Our purposes were distinctly diff
ferent from those of the allies. We
were forced into the war and we
rescued the Allies from defeat--a
costly job that got US nothing but
the dislike Of those we saved. The
Allies turned the victory into a
scramble for spoils, annexations, in
IDENTITIES, trade routes and markets,
manufactures, spheres Of influence
and the domination of Europe by
French 'militarism and British
navalism instead Of by German mill
tarism and navalism. Anybody who
still believes that the high-sounding
and glittering generalities about the
freedom of small peoples, self-de-
termination, saving civilization
from barbarian, making war to end
war. etc. etc. in surely q simnle

10 establish a good pasture. Herein
Is the reason why most tenants sell
dom attempt IT.: TO grow livestock
probably constant feed supply in
amount and kind, is necessary. The
animals and the crop must tit each
other. To make them fit requires a
longer period than the average lease.
Tenant farmers do and must Of neces-
sity, stay longer on general farms
than upon one-crop farms. Cover
crops, pastures, fences, livestock, etc,
tie men to the land.
Viewed from the best interests Of
rural life, the land has the first right
IN a land-lease contract, next comes
the tenant, then the owner. The Soil
is entitled to the increase in fertility,
or at least its maintenance. Contracts
should be written on this basis: When
ever improvements are put into or on
the soil. belong, to whoever put them
here. The tenant should not take
hem away but he should either stay
on the land long enough to use them
" he should be paid for them when
he leaves If lime lasts 5 years and
the tenant farms the land years, he
is entitled to at least SIS Of the cest
Of application in time, labor and cap
ital expended by him. II he builds q
fence that will last years and he
used 1t only 4, he is due half Of what
It costs him. The same is true Of
pasture or an orchard or an alfalfa
patch.
The tenant assured of payment for
unused Improvement added to the soil
or farm, is encouraged to make them
naturally prefer to remain on the farm
to use them. The owner Is anxious
to retain the tenant instead of paying
for Improvement and releasing to an
untried tenant. 1t should be apparent
that there are manifest advantage in
long lease to both owner and tenant.
More Money on Balanced Farming.
Cash" crops grown in extreme
amounts are really "credit crops,
The borrowing habit somehow goes
with one-crop farming. Any single
crop Is uncertain and not the best Sc
curity. A one-crop farm can not have
stable iRcome because the markets
and the seasons fluctuate. A well or
ganized, balanced farm has more
stable income. A community Of such
farms has a stable business done on a
cash basis. Better farming and sound
business 80 hand in hand. Farm i'm
pr0yements such as lining the land,
sowing pastures, etc, are worthy Of
credit for the amount that is required
to make them Before credit is given
it should be required that at least a
part of the land be invested in i'm.
that make the farm more
and hence better collateral.
The above statements are supported
by this survey, bearing on the tenant
problem. This survey, while not ex-
haustive, was sufficiently comprehen-
sive to warrant the following recon
mendations:
/. That land owner and tenant pro
vide an agreement by which the Ia

70 determine the effect certain eco
nomlc factors have upon the welfare
of rural communities, the Division of
Extension, University Of Tennessee, in
cooperation with the National Child
Welfare Committee, made survey Of
fourteen communities scattered
throughout Tennessee in 1920.
The factors considered we're tenancy,
6iversifcation Of crops, livestock and
soil fertility. One Of the most out
standing results determined by the
survey is that the growing Of any one
crop exclusive of others lends itself
readily to the increase in shifting
tenancy with the resulting train OF
economic and social evils. The first
and most pronounced Of these is a dis
regard for the soil and farm improve
ment on the part of both tenant and
the land owner, and a close second is
the unstable business conditions based
upon vicious credit system that ex-
lists where one-crOp farming is fol.
lowed.
Tenancy in itself, is not all bad
There are always three partners 70 be
considered In any tenant contract, the
hand, the tenant, and the owner. In
any good system ali three are bene
flted directly. The soil as well as the
owner may be benefited. The tenant
may improve his financial condition
and may In time become an owner
Indirectly the community reflects the
condition.
Almost half Of the land IN Tennessee
Is handled directly by families who do
not own 1t and who move bi-annually.
There Is no incentive or opportunity
for improvement Of the soil, the farm
or the community. The sections grow
ing tobacco cotton, corn, peanuts, etc,
to an extreme, have suffered most.
There are cultivated crops which are
removed from the land in the fall,
leaving the season when the tenant
leaves. The land needs to be covered
In winter by small grain and needs
clover and grass at regular intervals.
The existing system of short tenure
prohibits the growing Of these crops
since the tenant cannot move them
when he moves.
For profitable growth soil building
crops require lime which cannot be
applied economically for one seasons
use; the benefit extending over
period Of years. The moving tenant
Is only interested In immediate re
suits. Many soils need phosphate in
more liberal amounts, some need ter
racing, and some thing, others need to
be sown to permanent pasture or to
be planted in black locust for post
timber All need manure. The bene
fits Of these are cumulative over a |
period Of years and seldom pay for
themselves the first year |
Livestock Essential.
The farm needs enough livestock to
utilize the roughage available on every
farm and the pastures that are essen'
tiaf to maintain the soil and the stock
