 News For Week
Saturday, April "A.

The election of Student Body officers for the coming year fail ed to fulfill it's promise of an ex- citing campaign. Nominations Monday afternoon resulted in Harry Lewis, Ann Walsh, and Vesta Poison being unanimously elected for the offices of Presi- dent, vice-president, and treasur- CT, respectively. In the election of the remaining officers, hald Friday afternoon, Charles Lewis was elected Business Manager, Mary Hood Chapman, secretary, and Lincoln Ost. Sargeant-at- arms, by overwhelming odds.
 Just contrast this to last years turbulent politics: the building was plastered with campaign signs; closed meetings for the sup porters of the two candidates were held; campaign speeches promised more parties, more com mittees,mo everything; the bat tie finally resolved itself into a war between the boys and the girls, the feminine slogan being Down with masculine tyranny while the boys shouted Down with petticoat rule.' And this year-the president unanimously elected, with no other nominee. Verify, think old N. H. S. is los ing its pep.

FUND TO MAKE
FARM TENURE
MORE SECURE
u. S. Economist Warns
That Peasantry Tendency
Must Be Checked
By FRED BAILEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. CUP.
Education in land-use will be
stressed in the farm tenant aid
program approved by congress
and the president, department Of
agriculture officials said.
Officials said the appropriation
authorized in the bill "a maxi
mum of $7O,000,000 after three
years-can hardly begin to pur-
chase farms for the nearly 3,000,-
900 tenant farmers.
"Our real goal is security of
farm tenure, whether by tenants
or owners" A. G. Black chief of
the bureau of agricultural eco
Monies, said.
Tenancy in itself is not to be
deplored so much as the things
which have gone with tenancy in
the past" he said. insecurity of
tenure makes for depletion Of soil
through over-cropping, excessive
depreciation of buildings and 9TH
er equipment, and erosion of the
farm family itself"
NO IMMEDIATE CURE
despite everything the nation
can do, we might as well make up
our minds that we are going to
have a considerable amount of
tenancy in this country for many
wears to come" Black said.
He listed four proposals which
he said "seem to have the most
promise as workable tools for bet
tering land tenure conditions"
There were:
Working out of greatly improv-
ed relationships between land
lords, particularly through leases
which recognize a third party,
the public at large.
Public assistance to farm own
operator, present and prospective
through better credit arrange
ments and fair interest rates.
Encouragement of plans for
variable payments, such as crop
payments, which would tend to
diffuse the risk of crop produc-
ton and shifting price levels be-
tween buyer and seller.
A continuous program of edu-
cation to discourage land specu-
lation, excessive land valuation
and over-captialization of land
REWARD FOR GOOD WORKS
Improved relationships between
tenants and landlords should pro-
vide compensation to the tenant
for unexhausted improvements,
set up minimum requirements
with respect OF soil management
and reward rather than penalize
good stewardship of the land,
Black said. 'r De.
longtime and recent trends in
the directio nof fewer farm own
perpetrators, more absentee own
ership, more tenants and decline
in the equity in farm lands held
by land occupiers are alarming
in many instances" he said.
During the past So years-the
period for which statistics are
available-the proportion of ten
ant farmers has increased stead

lily. In 1890, one out of every
four farmers was a tenant. Now
as out of every 100 do not own
the land they operate.
"Even these figures Black
said, edo not present the true pic
ture; because of debt the actual
equity of operating owners is far
less than the figure indicate. In
some states the equity of operat-
ing farmers is little more than
one-fifth."
Each year 10000 farm-owners
lose all equity in their land and
become tenants, or wage earners.
The United States is no longer a
country of predominantly owner
operator farms, Black said. Mil
lions of farmers are slipping rap
idly toward conditions worse than
the peasantry of Europe, he said.
