[ . <af & 'i{ * We * â€"‘ _ The general plan is: + Rather than foreclose a farm for mortgage or taxes, accept from the farmer a portion of his land on the agreement that taxes on the reâ€" mainder be remitted for a reasonâ€" able period. Then utilize this land as subsistence land for the unemâ€" ployed who are objects of charity. In other words, give them a chance to work out their own problems, and thereby save their own souls.

F. C, Bolles, in comâ€" mand of Fort Sheridan, one of the ever points may be raised ‘against it in small detail, appears sound and workable. His plan, briefily, is to restore the balance of society by os:mnc a large number of idle men out of the cities and aiding them to get started on subsistence farms. The method of getting the land for this purpose is for taxâ€"burdened farmers to offer portions of their land in return for the remittance of taxes on their reâ€" maining land for a period of years, and to take over idle land owned by bankrupt subdividers and promoters of real estate schemes. This is in line with a recent stateâ€" ment by Préesidentâ€"Elect Franklin D. trends by the Hoover commission stated that there are millions of acres of land available. What is advocated by Gen. Bolles is opportunity to go on the land, not forced land settlement. He proposes the possibility of access to the land as an escape, a refuge, a place for a foothold. "And it must be borne in mind," he says, "that this is not a plan calâ€" culated to bring immediate relief to the 12 million subjects of charity, but as a means of bringing about a Roosevelt, and also with an analysis made by Prof. W. E. Dodd of the University of Chicago, who advoâ€" cates a joint federalâ€"state commisâ€" sion to handle this problem and who points out that every previous de: pression in our history has been solved by the retreat of the idle to the land.

Is the statement true, or is it just more of this usual governmental slush? 4 We sincerely hope it is true. If so, it may be the first sign of reâ€" turning honesty and efficiency of our public officials and the governâ€" ments (we can‘t call them ours) which they operate. Daylight is bound to come.
