ONE VOTER LOOKS AT CONSTITUTION IN
 NEW LIGHT

Waterbury, Conn,
 November l3, 1885. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 I notice the. Republican and American newspapers are forever criticizing the New Deal. Why don't they print something constructive. Congressman Merritt is urging the New Deal to stick to the Constitu- ton regardless of the starving pulp lie. If the Constitution sanctions the starving of the public and en- riching the industrialists it is about time 1t is put in the scrap heap.

"They wanted to get back here and

Lunch-One peanut butter, one jelly
and one meat sandwich, made the

Dinner-Brown gravy, boiled po-

Walter H. Peck said the mess tent
was so close to the highway that the

been developed more quickly, "but
they had carpenters helping in the

FARM TENANCY
INCREASE NOTED
Figures Reveal 81 to 70 Per
Cent Greater Number
in Oklahoma.

KANSAS CITY R.-A gradual in
crease in farm tenancy in the South
west during the past five years was
disclosed by a survey conducted as
Congress pondered the Bankhead bill
to make independent farm owners out
of tenants and share-croppers.
The situation in Arkansas and
Oklahoma is described as particularly
acute. Since 1880 tenancy in Okla
homa increased from 81 to 10 per
cent, D. p. Trent, director Of extern
sion of Oklahoma A. and M. College,
reported.
1T is evident that the tenant situa-
ton is such as to be Of real concern" I"
the Arkansas Planning Board said
in a report submitted to Gov. j.
Marion Futrell. Since 1900, the re-
port shows, the percentage Of ten
ants in Arkansas has increased from
asa to So per cent.
In Missouri and Kansas most of the
tenants are relatives Of retired farm
ers, usually sons and other close rel
atives, who work on a crop-share basis.
w. A. Cochel, editor of the weekly
Kansas City Star, estimated tenancy
in Missouri and Kansas Is approx
mately so per cent. Agricultural OBJ
servers believe the proposed loan fund
will not greatly affect conditions in
these two States.
Tenancy in Texas increased from
SIS per cent five years ago to 900
per cent in 1885.
Few tenant farmers interviewed in
the territory know anything about
the Bankhead law, but declare they
are "for" anything that will permit
them to acquire their own land, pro-
viding the interest rate on payments
is such that they can come out"
''The farmers don't know anything
about the law" Trent said. "If it's
Just another loan program like those
in the past, it won't do lot Of good.
But If they keep it out Of politics
and select carefully the people they
are going to help, and then supervise
them until they repay the loans, 1t
will do a world of good"
One Oklahoma tenant, In the
Southern half Of the State, where
cotton is grown, believed the measure,
as revised, would "give me the only
chance I will ever have to make
something out of myself"
ct have worked, man and boy, for
IS years, and am just where ] started
because I could never get hold of
enough money to get place Of my
own" he said. "If taxes didn't get
my money, boil weevils took the crop,
drought ruined me, or the stuff wasn't
worth anything when I raised 1t, and
when shared up with the man who
owned my place I didn't have enough
left to buy shoes, even, let alone put
down on a place"
Opinion of agricultural authorities
is divided on the possible effect Of
the Bankhead bill.
Stanley D. Carpenter, Agricultural
Extension Service agent for Northeast
Arkansas, where farm tenancy is
prevalent, expressed the opinion that
an appropriation seeking to make in
dependent farm owners Of ali tenants
at this time would be merely waste
of money"

The main issue in the Democratic
