FARMS AND TAXES
Baltimore, Md.
July IA, 1925
EDITOR OF THE MIDLAND
JOURNAL



JOURNAL
Dear Sir:
Your issue of July Sd contains
an editorial from the Dover, Della
ware Index entitled Depreciation Of
Land Values Becomes Alarming"
1t tells of the plight of Eastern
Shore and Delaware farmers who
having paid exorbitant prices for
their lands now find that farming
does not pay. In other words they
are learning from experience what
single takers have long been trying
TO tell them. The present system OF
taxation encourages land speculation
and the beesting OF land prices
Consequently farmers and others
wishing land for use have been COM
PEELED to pay exorbitant prices.
Taxation of labor products binders
production and increases the cost OF
everything needed for farmers. AT
the same time the purchasing power
of consumers of farm products is de
creased so that once in a while the
market becomes glutted. Natur-
ally farming does not pay. The
farmer who tries to get out of this
predicament by selling his land at as
high or higher price than he paid
for it is doing very natural thing,
but only a few may reasonably hope
to succeed that way. Those who
get their price merely put another
individual in the hole from which
they have escaped.
What farmers need is cheap land,
not high priced land. At lower
prices the land will be just as pro-
ductive as ever and as good crops
can be raised on a smaller invest
ment. With taxes taken Off OF
products of industry production will
be stimulated, employment increased
and the market for farm products
affairs does not seem desired by the
farmers. At least they have not
shown themselves very enthusiast
20 far on suggestion Of the single
tax That is to say they have not in
Maryland or Delaware. In Western
Canada they have done differently
There they have exempted houses
and other products Of industry in
rural districts and raise local revenue
by taxing land values only. This
has proven attractive to many far
mers from the United States who
have crossed the border and taken UP
land in Canda.
Whenever the farmers want bet
ter conditions they can get them
But they cannot get them and keep
up the present burdensome tax sys-
tenn at the same time. They can.
not make farming and land specula
ton pay at the same time.
Yours truly,
SAMUEL DANZIGER

The decrease in farm population
due to the cityward movement, not
taking into account births or deaths,
was highest in the Mountain States
4.3 per cent, followed by the
Pacific and West South Central
states. In all other divisions, ex-
cept New England, the percentage
of decrease due to the cityward
movement was equal to or less than
the average for the whole United
States, 20 per cent. New England
alone showed gain of per cent,
since more people moved from
cities to New England farms than
left farms for cities.
The movement from farms to
cities was found to be at the highest
rate in the Mountain States, 1873
per cent, followed by the Pacific,
New England, Middle Atlantic, and
East North Central States in order,

NEW YORK. June 13.-The obtain

Wall Street that this shy, serious
handsome young man has accomplish

giant.
Since being graduated from Yale IL
years ago, Averell Hartman has made
reputation of his own in other fields

shipbuilding during the war and after
hostilities went into the operation of
vessels on a large scale. Wall Street
took notice when his United American

Hamburg American line had operated
before the war
Now, at the age of 33, he is chair

FARMERS BECOME FORCE
IN AUSTRALIAN POLITICS
Lined Up Against Labor Party,
They Hold Much Power in
Elections.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, May 6.-The farm
ers are becoming a telling force in
Australian politics. A year or so ago
they were an unorganiZed, fretful
body largely disregarded by politi-
clans, but now they are beginning to
dictate terms.
The NationalistS, who held sway
through the war years, have lost
heavily in recent state elections, but
have succeeded in hanging on to ad-
ministrative power by forming pacts
with the farmers. These pact gov
ernments rule Victoria and the Com
monwealth, but a campaign recently
launched by farmers of this region
indicates that they will take the field
on their own hook.
Although the majority of voters are
in the coast capitals, the agrarian
vote has increased out of all proper
ton to, It's strictly rural following
The impending issue seems to be a
clash between the farmers and the
Labor party, which holds power in
four states. Many predict that the
next federal government will be COM
posed of Labor ministers. Farmers
organizations have declared against
alliance with the Nationalists.

SLAVERY IN EMPIRE
CHARGED IN LORDS
Raiding at Several Points in
World Reported and Britain
to Have Further Discussion.
of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 27.-Rather a tone
of unea SineSS on the question OF slave
raiding in several parts of the world.
including a suggestion that parts or
the British Empire might be affected,
was displayed in the House of Lords
recently when several peers made de-
mands for facts concerning the slave
trade activity.
Earl Buxton started the ball rolling
by asking the government whether the
report upon slavery which the foreign
secretary undertook to call for in 1923
had as yet been received, and also
whether the League of Nations had
asked to be supplied with any avail
able information on the subject of
slavery. In Northern Africa and the
Far East, he said, slave raidlng and
trading still existed, and it was
known. he alleged, that raids had
been made in Kenya and the Sudan.
Much as i'm Past.
LorcI Oliver asserted that there was
a good deal of information on the sub
ject of slavery in the possession of the
government which the public had the
right 20 know. The earl, in this con-
nection, said conditions in Abyssinia
We're much as they had always been,
and slavery and slave raiding existed
there today.
Replying for the government, Wis
count Cecil explained that the govern
ment was eager to the utmost of its
power TO help in the suppression of
slavery in general and slave raids in
particular. The League of Nations
had undertaken inquiries into this sub
ject, he said and one great advantage
of the league was that it worked with
the utmost publicity. That fact alone,
It seemed to him, ought to put an end
to any suspicion that the British gov
ernment desired to hide in any way
anything that its officials were doing
in that direction.
Available for League.
Niscount Cecil went on to say that
the government was prepared to place
all its information at the disposal of
the league. His information was that
there had been no slave raids in
kenya, but he would cause further in
quiries to be made.
Lord Gainford maintained that
from information in his possession it
appeared certain that raids had been
made from Abyssinia, and British
subjects made slaves and transported
across the Red Sea and through Arabia
to Mesopotamia, and he could not un-
derstand why the government had no
information along those lines. The
subject is to be brought up again for
further discussion.

speaker said he believed, more bombs
could be dropped in this country than
was done in the four years of the

was the most offensive weapon that
had ever been invented, Sir Hugh
averred, 1t was a shockingly bad
weapon of defense against the air
plane itself. Still, he believed, it was
the only one that had yet been dis
covered, and, even in these days of
scientific improvements and inven-
tions, he had grave doubts whether
any other weapon would take It's place
