Those who have investigated cases Of
recent removals to the land are not so
CYNICAL about their chances as others
whose ouinion Is based on the frequent
failures of enthusiasts who have chased
rainbows back to the land IN other
periods.
Reports from the hill towns indicate
a widesnread occupancy of long-vacant
farms. For the most part the new
comers are not thinking so much Of
crous for market as for food for sub
sistence. They are undertaking an ad
venture that is real pioneering to wom-
en- returning to their grandmothers' lot
of drawing water from wells, using
kerosene lamps and wood nres and tax
ing their children from modern city
schools to the little ungraded district
schools Of the country that nave hardly
changed in a generation
They are thinking in terms Of saw
ing their independence, OF keeping their
self-respect. Many are having to learn
the whole art of farming, even to learn
ing to milk and harnessing horses. Al
ready striking examples are to be found
of those that have weathered the first
Winter of struggle to discover hitherto
untapped endurance and unrealized
family resources which in the aggregate
may make this the most saving social
phenomenon of the times.
The back farms of New England af-
ford peculiarly favorable opportunity
for such Swiss Family Robinson ad-
ventures. A vacant farm with a good
set of farm buildings, not yet too far
gone in repair, the so-called "aban-
doned farm" has long been a familiar
sight along the country roadsides.

To get appropriations, Mr. Bacon
points out, many States have built up
their taxes, with the result that some
OF them are placing undue burdens upon
their citizens and excess strain on the
States financial structure.
Mr.. Bacon regards the Federal aid
situation as serious, and affecting the
sovereignty of many States, but sees
more danger in the constant expansion
of Federal aid. He points to an ever
increasing tendency of Congress to sad
die the Federal Government with more
expenditures which he believes should
be borne by the States.
In the present session, he cites, there
have been introduced bills appropriating
more than 1900, 100000 which If en-
acted would mean the finding of that
much additional tax money.

Return to Land.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, July 2 (NANA.). Back
to the land has become in New England
a movement of sufficient proportions to
provoke discussion. Academic objections
to lack of farm experience or the
prospect of increasing the farm surplus
have not stayed those city dwellers who
have found their chance of earning
gone and their earnings going fast.
A great many families from this city
recently have adventured beyond the
frontier of modern convenienceS to seek
a living at the one vocation that has no
bar at the employment gate.
The size of the movement still is
problematical, and hardly will have
official returns before another census.
But unofficial investigation shows many
of the vacant farms far back on the
side roads of New England have been
taken up this Summer by recent work
er of the cities.
Many are without real farm expert
ence. But they have found abundant

1881 Figures of Representa-
tive Bacon Reveal Burden
( $3.50 Pct. on 16 Others.

An amazing situation whereby IA
States received from the Federal
treasury in the fiscal year 1881 SEA
O40,50l more than they paid toward
the national tax burden has grown out
of the steadily expanding program of
direct Federal aid to States, it is re-
vealed by figures compiled in the office
Of Representative Robert L. Bacon, Re-
publican, of New York.
The figures also show that in con-
trast, 16 States are carrying $3.50 per
cent of the net tax burden Of the
country.
In other words, the 162.57424
which went to the States in direct Fed
eral aid during 1881 in some instances
actually wiped out the Federal tax
burden and made partial wards of the
Federal Government of these IA States:
Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho,
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, oregon, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and
Wyoming
These States represent IL per cent
of the total population of the country,
or l3,505,052 persons, who received
when their Federal taxes were deducted
from the amount of Federal aid they
got, Sl.78 per capita.

OF these, Mr.. Bacon points out, two

The Bowman we'll, which is con-
