A few days ago l received letter
from very learned and patriotic
American whose entire life has been
devoted to a science, in the pursuit
of which he has visited many foreign
lands. He writes me of the city of
Zurich, which he thinks is better gov
eTned than any large city in the
world.
This city of 100000 inhabitants is
governed by body of about $50 men,
composed Of preachers, teachers, law
yers, bankers, merchants, hotel men,
labore~s. hack drivers, clerks, ct cetera.
all of whom are required to meet in
open session every Saturday after
noon to consider public business, as
scheduled in a docket printed before
hand by an administrative board com
posed of q small number of whole
time servants Of the people. No sum
IN excess of $1,000 can be appropriate
ed for any purpose without popular
vote, but voting is so arranged that it
means little cost OF time or money.
Everyone must cast his ballot at all
elections, or pay fine for failure so
to do.
Tke-3 the greatest publicity pre-
walls in public affairs and general in
terest III such is enforced. as all must
vote and pay taxes.
My friend spussyfooted about to
smell out any graft and heard of
none; and he adds thai while these
Swiss are we'll and thoroughly gov
erned, yet there was more liberty and
less inquisision than among ourselves.
Publicity in public affairs may do
little good unless the interest of the
masses therein is enforced by pub
lie politics. Millions of the poor
among US are utterly Indifferent about
most public matters, except where in
famed by leaders who can always
point out other classes who are bet
ter of than those they cajole to gain
temporary favor Millions more of
the rich and well-to-do seldom read,
or consider with care, the ample infor-
nation available to them about pub
lie affairs
Usually half of those eligible to
vote do not cast ballot and less than
one-fourth take enough interest to
vote a full ticket
Millions who earn big wages are not
made TO feel any of the weight of tax
alton. Voting is too often merely
privilege, an opportunity. to tax 9TH

himself and his country
We may yet learn something from
this tiny Republic of the Alps; to
which we are already indebted for

But consider the vast and varied in

A tremendous revival of confidence
IA the future OF American farmers
4 Indicated by a big increase in the
activity OF the market for agricultural
lands which has taken place within
ne last two months. according 10 re-
ports from leading farm-selling
agency.
The number Of inquiries for farm
properties began 10 show a big in.
crease soon after the beginning OF the
year and has been steadily growing
since until IL has assumed surprising
proportions. The r.. A. Strout Farm
Agency which last year sold S2O.000.-
coo worth OF farms says the present
demand Is greater than ever before.
It's sales for four weeks in April
SCI a new record in the 20 years OF its
history by aggregating 5S5 farms
transferred: and IL business continues
ai this rate or in the same relative
proportion for the remainder of the
year. Mr.. strout believes 1922 will
20 over the top as by far the best
year the farm-selling business has
ever experienced.
New York State. as usual. shows
the greatest activity with a record OF
S5 farms transferred in this state in
four weeks.
There was a close struggle for the
honor Of second position between the
states OF Florida. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Florida farm lards finished the
month q trife in the lead with SO sales
Of farms. while New Jersey farms
ran next with 81 sales, and Pennsyl-
vania third with 55.
Maine, usually one OF the most ac-
i've states in the transfer Of farm
properties. closed the month with an
aggregate of 46 transfers, while its
neighhoring state. New Hampshire
shared in the general increase with
a total transfer of 81.
Michigan and Ohio are two states
In which the market for farm property
Is always active for their lands have
been held at much lower values than
the onecrop farms of the middle west.
Consequently they are attractive to
farmers or city dwellers in the states
further west where land speculation
during the war sent prices SO high
That there was little market for the
iarms Of such states as Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas.
This demand for Michigan and
Ohio farms increased in April with
the result that 80 sales were reported
BY the Strout Agency in Michigan and
"a in Ohio.
Two other states where the demand
Tor farms is about even were Massa-
ehusetts, with 26 sales. and Mary
land with "a.
Arkansas and Vermont ran a neck
race with is sales in each state. while
Missouri reported u, Indiana and Del

HIS method will be employed in in

of additional men and to increase the
wealth of the country by larger
production.
NO one can quarrel with Mr.. Ford's
method of placing a surplus income
so long as he refuses to quarrel with

OBS 1t is economically sound, but so
are the other methods economically
sound, and only in seeming to imply
that they are not does Mr.. Ford ex-
pose himself to attack.
If the great majority of capitalists
did not reinvest in industry the great
bulk of their surplus incomes, indus
try and production and material well
being would cease to go forward and
would finally begin to go backward.
But on the other hand, an industrial
society which refuses to devote any
of its surplus income to colleges,
technical schools, medical research,
and so on, is society which will in
time fall in upon itself, even indus

Atlanta Is Doing
Some Odd Guessing

Atlanta, Oct. 1.-THE breaking of
a long drought, the rapid harvest
ing of crops and preparation for fall
grains in the southeastern states
during recent weeks were the feature
of the report issued by the bureau
of agricultural economics of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
for publication today.
All the states except Tennessee
received ample moisture, said the re-
port prepared by 2. R. Pettet, south
eastern statistican with headquar-
tiers here. The rain had beneficial
effect on sweet potatoes, Irish pota-
toes, sorghum, peas and sugar cane.
Cotton picking has been complet-
ed in Florida and is from rs to 80
percent finished in South Carolina,
Alabama and Georgia, and we'll adj
vanced in North Carolina and Ten
nessee," the report stated. "The
rain was of too short duration and
too much Of the cotton already was
gathered for any marked deterioa-
ton to occur.
"The gathering of corn is in full
swing in Florida and is well under
way in most of the other states. The
planting of small grains is in pro-
gress in Florida and land is being
rapidly prepared in other states. In
Tennessee, some barley and rye is
drying in the sprout for lack of
moisture"
