HEAR|NGLAUNCHED
ON TENANCY BILL:
Wallace to Give Views to
Jones Committee to Curb
Problem.
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The House Agricultural Committee
today started ahead of the White House
in the race to eliminate farm tenancy
and share-cropperism from the Ma
tons rural economy.
The congressional group opened
hearings on a farm tenant bill writ
ten by Chairman Jones of the COM
mittee, while a special board named
by President Roosevelt was still deep
In study of what legislation would
best meet the question. Jones, how
ever, was asked last September by the
President to frame some sort Of leg
tslation.
The presidential experts are ex-
pected to make their recommended
tions February l. by which time the
House Agricultural Committee may
have completed consideration OF
Jones' $500,0O0,000 Farmers Home
Corp. proposal.
The members of the committee ex-
pect an immediate revelation Of the
attitude OF administration officials
toward the measure, for Secretary
Wallace, who is eX-officio chairman
of the Presidents Committee on Farm
Tenancy, and M. L. Wilson. Under
secretary of Agriculture, are to be the
first witnesses.
Same Objectives.
The ultimate purpose Of both
Jones and the White House is the
same-to reduce as much as possible
the high percentage of tenancy. The
1885 agricultural census disclosed that
421 per cent, or 2,865,155 of the
country's 6,812,350 farms, are run by
tenants.
The rate of increase in tenancy Is
SO rapid, however, that Wallace has
expressed doubt in the past whether
the $5O,O00,000 a year for 10 years
Jones would spend on its elimination
would do more than slow down the
upward trend.
The Jones bill ito encourage and
promote the ownership of farm homes
and to make the possession of such
homes more secure" would transfer
all the functions now carried on by
the Resettlement Administration
which is combating tenancy in limit
ed way. to the new Farmers Home
Corp.
Would Buy Land.
In outline the function of the cor
poration would be this:
It would buy land farmed by ten
ants and turn it over to farm tenants
share-croppers, farm laborers or per-
sons recently fitting those categories
with preference for applicants who
are married or have dependent fami-
lies"
The beneficiaries would be desig-
mated by three-member county COM
mittees. They would be put on av-
erage size farms carved from the
corporations land as renters with op-
tion to buy, and the rental payments
in the first five years would aggre-
gate rs per cent of the purchase
price.
When the lessee decided to exercise
his option to buy, after paying q
per cent of the purchase price, title
would pass to him, and the corpora
tion would take lien on the balance
with the loan to be paid of in 40
