GREEN T WO and a quarter million tenant farmers In 25 states that pro? - I duce most of the perishable farm products, the grain ; and the . A cotton of America, make the organizing and federation of farm- : ers for business-like marketing a stupendous," if not almpsttan im possible undertaking.?-" . ? '. Xv : v; -v l - h This was a statement made by Charles W. ' Holman,- of the 'Uni versity of -Wisconsin, at the' recent; Conference on Marketing; and Rural Credits at Chicago. 'The richest and most" productive ofAmer- ; r lean states are: today confrontlngla vproblemt of absentee landiord-f 5 ism that bids fair in the near future to be , the all engrossing task -of statesmen and economists, ftaid:MrHolman.4vfe '-ri'lTL. dealing with this land question, simple palliatives can do' no -' good except delay, the final crisis. In the South;; on" account of our j " racial problem, absentee landlordism is much' more intolerable thany - in all-white communities. When a white man moves ' to'; town and puts Negro tenants down on hi3 . place as : neighbors j. to white ;'r I land-owning farmers who don't want- to jnQve" to town.r and in the;: meantime" places , a prohibitive price upon the land, -it makes a" bad - economic condition still more acute and an additional .social problem.": . It is only through the agency of taxation that this evil f can be miti-: ' gated byJegislation. - An absentee; land tax and"a graduated land : tax on' large holdings will help wonderfully. ;The speculative val-. ue of land will never be reduced until we? get after the "unearned I in- --; crement" with the kind of tax that will make it unprofitable to i re-tg "" tain large holdings of land purely Ifor speculative purposes. v Thei " . quickest and most practical way to reduce the speculative prices of land so that r men without homes can buy, is to : use the lever of t; -itaMtion.. V it is all right to provide cheap money, to farmws for the purpose of buying homes;, but unless you head off the speculators' they will:? , boost the price of land just as the demand for land; increases -when you provide better means with which to buy. What will it profit 7 a poor man tb.be provided with credit sunlcientW-make him a land nurchaser. if land sneculators are permitted to double; the price of : 1 . the land which.he is to buy? WouldnH Crural credits" u - circumstances , be an f economic delusion ? Perhaps palliatives may be; permitted if - they ; don't 'make the pa- tient worse-used as a sort of experiment, butiBeasley of , theState"; Journal, is. right in insisting .that we go to the root of the; disease. . Absentee landlordism and tenant ? slavery are the things that - are . striking at the foundation of.our rural civilization,? and Iw destroy rural civilization, and inojongerlhave fresh blood from the country to draw upon,- your; to wna andl cities will have reached the beginning of the end.
