INCREASE In FORECLOSURES
IN 1881 ADMITTED BY COMMENT
Farmers Must Pay Interest Mortgage Indebtedness OF
Nearly Nine Billions

miserable returns a substantial a.
mount on the principal of their in
debtedness.
The decline occurred primarily
in the north central states where
sixty per cent of the farm debt is
found.
The east south central states
also showed decline in debt. All
other divisions had increased. In
creases in the New England, Mid
die Atlantic, Mountain, and Pa
cific states were substantial. The
three southern divisions showed
little net change in total indebted
ness from 1928.
The increases in the other sec
tions of the country mean that de-
spite the fact that there was q
substantial reduction in farm IN
debtedness thru foreclosure the IN
crease in the Indebtedness OF the
farmers who could hold their lane
was so graf as to result IN a ne
increase in the indebtedness.
Mortgage debt, on owner-oper
ated farms amounted to S5,lSo'
600, 900; on tenant farms SS,0n'
100000; and on manager farm
S3S4,OOO,OOO. This make a t o5e
mortgage Indebtedness of SS'SoO'
: 600, 900 on which the farmers o
the United States have to pay trl
+ butte to the bankers and otne
, mortgage holders. This is in 40
t dition to the huge tribute they pa
each year in taxes and otherWls
: TO the Wall Street exploiters.

The Department of Agriculture
in a statement issued January z,
is forced to admit that the slight
decline in the mortgage indebted
ness of the farmers of the United
States is a direct reflection oil
their misery. 1t is an indication
of their succumbing that thous-
ands of farmers have been crush
ed by the crisis and not that they
have been relieved of burden.
The farm mortgage debt in the
| United States is estimated at SS,-
| 241. 100000 as of January 1, 1881,
decline of "a per cent from the
peak of farm mortgage debt IN
/ 1928, according to preliminary es-
Inmates of the Bureau of Agricul'
tural Economies, based on tbs
1880 census and onreports from
individual farm owners. This TO.
tai compares with S9,468, O0O,OO'
for 1928. Sc, 800, 100000 for 1927
and s7,857, 100000 for 1920.
DUE TO GREATER MISERY

providing for long time naval con-
struction by Representative Vim

'er government is building out its
naval ornaments for the next inn
perialist war and for the attack
on the Soviet Union. Despite the
attempts to conceal it the bill is
admittedly the program of the
Hoover government.
Secretary Adams of the navy
admitted before the House Com

gram of the U. S. Navy Adams
said that it was mot in an officia

WALL ST. ORDERS ALL RELIEF
In new YORK BE CLOSED DOWN
Farmers and Workers, Repel the Hunger Offensive of
Morgan and Co. Demonstrate Feb. a for Relief

NEW YORK.-For the past
week the city officials have been
meeting in the office of Morgan
& Co. in Wall st. The first de-
mand that Morgan & Co. made in
return for a $9O,OOO,OOO loan to
the city was all city relief bureaus
be closed down. The city, thru
Mayor Walker, Immediately COM
piled with this request and shut
down relief.
With 70 so-called "home relief
stations" closed and the Tammany
administration admitting that hun
dreds of thousands of unemployed
face unprecedented restitution, y
Mayor Walker met with Morgan
& Co. and other bankers, planning
ways of cutting down on all relief
in order to leave more profits fol
the bankers and graft for Tam
many Hall.
The difficulty started when tht
city administration asked for
$90,OO0,000 loan, part of which
was to go supposedly for mem
ployment relief. Tammany Hall
in order to keep its political ma
) chine intact, requires a certain
amount for graft for its bench
men and dribbles of relief for
9 selected few.
i With city finances in Difficult
: shape, the bankers saw an oppoI
! tunity to demand concessions, tn
: first being to eliminate all relie+
! and the second being to increas
: street car fare so that the bank
; ers can rake in about $19,O0O,O C
e more yearly from both employe
and unemployed who are force
to use the subways to lock fl
fjobs.
; The bankers who determine Il
4 city relief policy, with the aid I
Walker, are the same ones WI
back the Hoover hunger regin
and are the decisiv forces in Il
III United States government. The
= banks are:
u J. P. Morgan & Co., Guaran
ne Trust Company, Bank of Manhs
u tan, Trust Company, National CT
oy Bank of New York, Bankers Tru
Company, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., al
on the Chase National Bank.
"a Senator Copeland, to who
ng Walker wired asking to have t
OIL matter taken up by the Sena'
list admitted that thousands are stal
in ing and that the sham of city ]
ry lief was put up to stop fedel
he "dole." Copeland in a spec
nd statement said:

HOW LABOR WILL VOTE

Labor will vote this year with its
eyes open. Three years of economic
agony have wiped away any remain
ing illusions about the established
order. Labor will vote for more light,
more hope, more justice. Labor will
not fall easily prey to the campaign
crier, to slick publicity, to economic
fallacies. Labor will go to the polls
with fewer smiles, and more knitting
of the brows. Labor will vote not so
much it's emotions-as it's reasoned
economic views. 1t will not Ee indif-
ferent to past services, and it will
smite, and smite hard, that sauve,
two-faced, fair weather friend who
glibly made promises, and refused
to keep them.
Labor will vote with full conscious

THE SCHOOL TAX LEVY

Confronting the voters next Tues
day will be the question of approving
the levying of special school tax
of two mills during a period of three
years, beginning January l, 1888. If
the levy carries it doesn't mean an
increase in taxes, just continuance
of the special tax voted three years
ago, and which expires December 81,
1892.
School funds are low, due to a re-
duced tax duplicate and delinquent
collections, and unless the two-mill
levy is voted it will not be possible
to operate for full term, and this
despite the fact economies have been
effected in all departments, teachers
and other employees salaries reduced,
etc.
A shorter school term would be a
sad plight, indeed. 1t would mean the
children of today would be denied ad-
vantages enjoyed by others in the
past. This would be unfair and un-
just to our future citizenry.
Back the school children for all the
educational advantages we can give
them. Vote eyes" on the special
