TOO MUCH LAW

BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s U.S.l.-
The vogue for passing law for
every passing i'll. real or fancied
: has enormously complicated the
national legal structure, and also
frequently diverts public atten-
tion from other remedies. DIR.
Nicholas Murray Butler, pres
ident of Columbia University, has
announced that that institution is

body of existing laws in the

Non-legislatiye cures for farm
Ills were suggested yesterday by
e. C. Young, of Purdue Univer.
gity, before the members Of the
American Farm Economic Asso-
citation at the Hotel Stevens, Chi
cago. He dealt with the question
which is agitating the Middle
West as to whether the tenant
or the landlord should run the
farm. With a steadily increasing
number Of farms owned by non.
residents or by second or third
generation Of landlords or by in.
dividuals or institutions in non.
farming occupations. the question
of degree of control of farms
which ownership implies, looms
UP. cas- a result of tenant di-
rection. Prof Young pointed out.
numerous farms are deficient in
working capital and investment in
improvements. which could be
made to pay with competent
supervision.
Prof. Young made three con.
structive suggestions. He pro-
posed a live stock partnership lease
plan by which there is equal joint
ownership by landlord and tenant
of all live stock. with joint sharing
of all receipts and expenses, except
for labor and equipment. which
are taken care of by the tenant,
and expenses involved in keeping
UP the real estate, which are met
by the landlord. Prof Young de.
clared that this system is in sue.
cessful use where the landlord and
tenant are related. or where there
is close supervision. 1t cannot
succeed, however, except where
there liz mutual confidence between
landlord and tenant.
The second proposal provides for
the operation of groups Of farms,
where the landlord assumes entire
responsibility for manaG Gement and
operates his farm by hired labor.
with a well.paid man in charge Of
each farm, but responsible to the
landlord. This plan. according 10
Prof. Young. Is being followed by
numerous financial institutions in
Chicago and elsewhere who have
taken over farms on foreclosure.
Prof. Young believes that This plan
can succeed only with exceptional
men who cen do more than follow
a simple routine of farm opera
tious. He recommends that the
plan be supplemented by a bonus
system.

T FORBES LAUDS
VEAL THY MAN
FOR CIT IS
BY B. c. FORBES

A multimillionaire who operates
quite extensively in the stock
market confides to me that his
aim is to give away every dollar
Of profit he makes,
His profits have already reached
millions-and he has already made
gifts of millions, although only a
part OF his benefactions has be-
come known. Within the next
few months other large donations
for charitable purposes will come
to the surface.
How many other market opera
tors take such a generous attl-
tude?
Not the Best Way
''I never could see why any rich
man should receive credit for CIV
ing money to charity after he
dies" he remarked. IF he holds
on to it until he dies-and he cer-
tainly can't take it with him-why
should he be lauded? OF course,
to leave money for worthy pur-
poses is better than not leaving
any except for selfish ends; but
1t doesn't strike me as the best
way to handle money.
"A real man, interested in his
fellow-beings, should get lot of
kick out of doing worthwhile
things while he is alive. Not only
that, but if he is business man
who had capacity enough to make
a lot Of money, the chances are
that he could use his brains adj
vantageously in guiding the spend
ing of the money.
Then he added this, which
should interest more than men al
ready wealthy:
Some of the comment that
greeted one of my first rather
large publicly announced gifts
amused me. It seemed to cause
some astonishment, first, that I
should give away such an
amount, and, second. that the pur-
pose was so sensible. The fact is
that / have. always given away
money since / first began to have
any to spare.
How To Give
''You have to learn how to give
just as you have to learn how
to make money. That is why it
is important, as see 1t, that
men who are making headway
In the world should realize early
that the best plan is to start CIV
ing as soon as there is any sur.
plus available FOR giving. You
learn by practice. If you begin
early to give. and increase the
amounts as fortune favors you.
you are not likely to make bad
blunders when you have large
sums to spare"
