er, who passed last week. An ar
dent and tireless crusader in the
cause of justice, her passing has
left a void that will not be easily
filed. If there ever was a person
deserving of home in the Final
Realm prepared by Him for all who
follow His lead, it surely is she,
and this knowledge shall bring con-
ISOLATION to her deeply bereaved
family and friends. The earth will
be a better place for having her on
it, and the Holy Throng shall be
happier for her coming. Au revoir,
beloved friend, until we meet again
in The Land That Knows No Pain.

ALCOHOL TAX UNIT
PROBE FOR GRAFT.
Operations of Baltimore Of

Intelligence Men.

Alleged graft and other irregularities
In connection with operations Of the
Treasury's Alcohol Tax Unit in Balti-
more are under investigation by the
Intelligence Unit Of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau, 1t was disclosed ut the
Treasury today in response to in.
quiries.
The investigation has been been
under way for about two months,
Treasury officials said. They expressed
regret that news of 1t had leaked out
before completion of the Investigators
work.
At the same time it was denied ut
the Treasury that the investigation in
velves any Washington police oficials,
as had been reported In some quarters.
Onicials discounted reports that
Johnny Torrio. predecessor Of Al Ca
pone in q Chicago beer syndicate, has
been connected with the investigation
of Alcohol Tax Unit activities in Balti-
more. The Alcohol Tax Unit for some
time has been investigating Torrio's
operations in New York City and last

him for violating internal revenue laws.

attitude to include . minimum Of So
cial responsibility as . condition OF
land ownership"
Prevention Of "land speculation"
and wide swings In value also were
suggested.
The estimated 1850, 900 tenant farm
ers In this country meanwhile were
classed in three major groups today
by . Government study:
/. Cash tenants. who pay rent in
money.
2. Share tenants, the largest group,
who operate farms under their own
direction and split crops and live stock
with the owner.
8. Share croppers, mostly in the
South, who usually possess no tools,
equipment or capital, and have only
labor to offer. The landlord provides
buildings, stock. tools, feed and seed,
with the cropper receiving part Of the
crop at harvest.
Families Of tenant farmers include
2,500, 900 persons, the report said.
When land values blow up, tenancy
increases on the downswing, and many
heavily mortgaged owners are suddenly
converted into tenants" said Wallace.
If = suficient proportion of the
American people think that fat liv.
ing is to be made simply by waiting
for rise in land values, then, Of
course, our hope Of checking tenancy
and advancing ownership Is q vain
one"
Rise Of land values above earning
power Of the land" the Secretary
said, caused people who have no real
interest In farming to take speculative
flyers"
Improvement Of tenant and land
lord relationships was termed another
avenue Of approach. wallace said most
tenants were kept from improving land
or buildings because their tenure was
uncertain and they would not be com.
pensated for the improvements.

LAND OWNERSHIP
REFORMS URGED
Wallace Makes Suggestions
as Possible Methods to
Check Tenancy.
By the Associated Press.


Broad reforms In present ideas Of
land ownership and operation were
suggested today by Secretary Wallace
as possible methods of checking
trends toward farm tenancy In the
United States.
As chairman of the Committee Of
20 named by President Roosevelt to
survey farm tenancy problems, Wal
lace opened . two-day conference.
Quoting census figures that 1885,
155 farms were operated by tenants
last year, he said the number had
been increasing more than 10000
year.
Assuming that an average Of $4,000
would be required to set UP . tenant
as an independent farmer, Wallace
said more than 100000, 900 would be
needed just to check the increase for
one year.
Similar provision for all present
tenant farmers, he added, would re-
quire $50,000,000 annually for 23o
years. He said these figures demon
strated other methods must be found.
With increasing absentee ownership,
he said, "the land and the civilization
dependent upon it are in jeopardy. As
. result, we may have to revise our

Unit work in Baltimore after reports
reached the Treasury concerning al
legged irregularities In collection of
taxes on post-prohibition liquor In
that area.
Findings Of the agents to date are
being closely guarded by Trey and
his men.
If reports Of graft are substantiated,
the evidence undoubtedly will be
placed before q Federal grand jury
In Baltimore for appropriate action.
On the other hand. even though no
criminal action is taken, it might de-
velop that administrative measures
will be found necessary to deal with
the situation.
