Cut an the agricultural posnibilitie* oi

That part of the present timber land
which when denuded will be arable
will have a higher and higher value aa
land the longer the timber ia kept un
cut; because if the timber ia held for
many yearn the land when finally do
nuded will be in greater demand for
agriculture.' Such a codition suggests
the following potential effects upon
the public: High prices for land sold
to settlers, increase of the tenantry
system, or direct farming by large cor
porations.
The dnta obtained by the bureau, so
far os land is concerned, is not suffi
cient for a study of the land problem
as a whole. They cover only one class
of owners, the timber men, and only
part of the country. They show con
ditions onlv nt tfi^ time of the invest
gation, and do not show whether the
concentration is increasing or decreas-
ing. They are not typical of present
conditions in agricultural communities,
where the average sine of holding is,
of course, much smaller. Though In-
complete, these data are nevertheless
suggestive and worthy of serious con-
sideration. „
Soma Grants Attacked.
"Most of the land grants were made
on conditions, and it appears that in
many cases not all of the conditions
were complied with. The government is
now attacking some of the grants for
alleged violation of the conditions im
posed.
"The abuse of the general land laws
in the past suggests that any lauds re-
stored to the public domain by these
or other forfeiture suits should not be
disposed of under the present land
laws. To allow such lands to be taken
up bv private parties before the re-
vision of the public land laws has been
completed, would l* to lose much of
the public benefit from their recov

tion is the greatest question before

SOME INCONSISTENCY
(Written for The Rebel.)
The Pultes say that work is hon-
orable but that it is a disgrace for
them or their children to work.
The poor do the work but do not,
have anything while the pints do
no work and have everything.
Work is the foundation of so-
ciety yet those who do the work
are barred from good society.
The home is the foundation of
the government, yet homes are be-
ing broken up by the system und r
which the government is opperat-
©d.
Education is the foundation of
civilization though two million of
our children have been forced out
of the school into the eweatshop.
The Plutes have said: "What is
home without a mother t" They
ought to know, they have taken
five million of our women out of
the home.
^ The Preachers on Sunday pray.
"O! God have mercy on the poor
and oppp>ssed," then on Monday
vote a ticket they know full well
will be the moans of bringing
about more oppression.
The Workers will strike and be
shot full of holes rathor than to
vote the Socialist ticket. No I will
swallow that cuss-word.
During winter the donothings

Wilson ia working o secure the
passage of a set of harmless trust
oil is which are desired by all in-
telligent business men because
they will stop for a time the agita-
tion against the trusts and will not
inteiefere with profits. Wilson
has steadfastly refused to aid the
teaman's bill ,which is favored by
ue Seamen's Union and opposed
by the steamship trust,, Wilson
haa played into the hands of the

rates and maintain high freight
charges.
Wilson, through William Jen-
nings Bry^i, the highest paid
.auuevilie artist in the eabinet,
, mieavored to jam through the
senate the outrageous Columbian
and Nicaraguan treaties which ev-
en a corrupt Republican senate

gross a handing over to Wall
street, of the helpless South Amer-
ican Republics. Wilson has, last-
ly, given his official O. K. to the
fake labor exemption clause in the
Clayton bill which he admits does
not exempt labor from prosecution

Wilson will probably' sign the
worst pork barrel, rivers and har-
bors bill which congress has had

paired for years the civil service
system, never particularly well-
kept.

INTERESTS are on the job in
"Washington. All this talk about
abolition of the lobby from the
hall of Congress is idle gassing.
in- lobby is stilMiere; it is no
longer unofficial and amateur,—
it i? official and professional, and
it, draws pleasant salaries from the
United States government. If you
don't believe this, ask commisioner
of Corporations Davies, who is also
wretary of the Democratic Na-
io: al Committee and who trans-
acts his public and his political
'nisirretfs in one-and the same of-
*ice.
