version Of the shooting before
the jury while standing beside

Another factor of some Importance
In the future course of rural land values

a considerable increase in land loan

that there will be continued growth
in this direction, and that rural land

contracts. This is. of course, PUBLISH
factor in rural land values.
More Efficient, Better Earnings
Yet another factor of possible influ-
ence upon rural land values is the
increasing size and rising efficiency of
ranch and farm units. Larger and more

Managing Farm and Ranch
What Is the Future of Farm
And Ranch Land Values?
By MONT SAUNDERSoN

ANY DISCUSSION of the sIbiet
chosen for this issue should be in
spirit of humility. No one has the wi:
dom and foresight to know the RICH
answers to the several questions tina
would have to be answered in makin
a good guess on the future course O
rural land values.
just the same, we have to guess. Yol
and in eur everyday life and bushes:
affairs may at any time be confronted
with the necessity of making just such
a guess. We have to do that if we
decide to buy or sell ranch or farm
borrow or lend money on rural lands
or make any kind of long-term con-
tract for the use of such lands.
In making such a guess we have to
try to look ahead We should study the
past, too, but history isn't always a good
guide as to the direction and extent of
economic change.
Historically, ranch and farm lands
have been priced on the basis of a
very low return upon the capital In
vested in land Until not so very long
ago, the view of the farm and ranch
buyer was that he was first buying a
home and job. and that the return
on capital invested in land was second
airy. Most of the return upon the capital
in land was the anticipated slow but
sure rise in the value of the land re-
sulfing from national population growth
and economic development.
Commercial Investment
This era in our rural economy and
land economics passed, 20 to 80 years
ago. With the emergence of our modern
agricultural technology, the business en-
berprise and the home are much less
closely associated, in our value caIcu-
atiOnS. Land tends to be viewed more
as a commercial investment, upon
which an interest return must be
earned, currently. Modern science and
agricultural technology now promise
uch unusual things for the future in
'ur agricultural productive capacity
hat we cannot depend upon a constant
y rising land value as a part of our
and earnings. The idea that land values
must rise as population grows because
there's only one crop of land" has
one into the discard.
This economic change is ''bearish''
actor in rural land values. We no
niger are willing to capitalize land
arningS at extremely low interest
ates, such as 1 or per cent.
Another feature of present-day eco
Omic change with distinct influence
pom rural land values is the race now
ccurring between our rapidly rising
Dpulation, nationally, and our rapidly
zpanding capacity to produce, agricul-
rally. Modern science now promises
lch unusual developments in our agri-
IItural productive capacity that our
yricultural production gains may out
In our population growth, for the fore
eable future. Such result would, OF.
'urse, have a lowering effect upon
sricultural prices, earnings and land
llues.

War or Peace

AS of today, the factor uppermost in
our thinking on the subject of land
values is the question of war and peace.
War means price infIation-it always
has-and peaceful world might give
us sterilization of prices at or near
the present general price level. We
know, however, that monetary initiation
and a rising general price level dees
not give us real gain in values for

Republican National COM
mittee Chairman Leonard w.
Hall was still breathing OPP
timism- publicly at least
when he addressed Republican
women here yesterday.
Describing President Eisen-
hover as q great leader" who
Is temporarily" absent from
the scene. the chairman said
that Mr.. Eisenhower has led
our party (and) will lead our
party In the way he wants it
to 90 until under his leadership
It becomes the majority party.
II have never known . man
more interested in organiza-
ton, " he added. 'He wants the
Republican Party to be the
majority party. He knows it
cannot be unless we organize
right down to the precinct
level"
The President "epitomizes
optimism" the Republican
chairman declared. ITO my
mind that Is the spirit in which
we must carry on. The fact
that we are carrying on. add
ing maybe Just q little more to
our effort. Is just what he would
want US to be doing during his
temporary absence from the
scene"
Taken ON His Image
Talking to reporters later,
Mr.. Hall said since 48 q. o. r.
State chairmen were in WASH
ington . few weeks ago, the
party has taken on the image
Of Dwight David Eisenhower.
His philosophy has become the
guiding philosophy Of the Re-
publican Party. That win con-
tfnue TO be its guiding PHI
losophy."
Asked to comment on Vice
President Nixon's role In filling
the breech during the Presi-
dents illness the chairman
said: at has been wonderful
that the President has given
greater responsibility to Mr..
Nixon than has been given to
Vice Presidents In the past.
Whether ut home or in the
foreign field Mr.. Nixon has
performed magnificently."
He is greatly encouraged"
by reports from Denver, and
has no plans to 60 there him

Anybody who cares to take
the trouble can play this kind
of snide joke on his fellows.
I know because I checked the
possibilities after I heard the
story of a pollster who (on a
busman's holiday, I guess)
submitted to 1000 persons
picked at random a list of 10
questions about proposed leg
islation that didn't exist.
The thousand were asked to
say whether they favored, op-
posed or had no convictions on
such subjects as the Nom
Ferrous Metals Act of 1855, the
Supreme Court decision to
close all national parks, State
rationing of farm equipment,
and finally, Government sub
sides for life insurance pol
icies.
More than 80 per cent Of
those polled unqueStioningly
said they approved or disap-
proved of each issue-and less
than 10 per cent admitted
they didn't know what the
surveyor was talking about.
1t was a mean trick but that
dishonest 80 per cent gives me
pause, not only about humans
but about polls. It's not the
first time I've had misgivings.

right out and said that
fear of intellectual inferiority
causes many of those inter-
viewed to answer untruthfully.
