SOCIALISM AND THE FARM.
HY IlEIMWER BRANCH NO. 1
The Socialists lo not want von livil' til : our land, Mr. .
Farmer, the good fellows that you have elected to attend to
vour business at Washington, 1). C. for the last 12o years have
done it for you until 75 per cent of the 1)0,000,000 people do not
have a foot of land of their own. Only 4.') per cent of the
land in Oregon is owned by freeholders. That 'includes home
steads. And in the rich state of Kansas we hnd that only 4U
per cent is owned by freeholders. These figure art; taken
from the United States Census of 1900. We are only trying
to restore to you the birthrights taken from yon.
The Socialist handling of land is less understood than any
other proposition of the propaganda. What do the Socialists
propose relative to land! The platform says:
There can be no absolute private title to land. All private
titles, whether called fee simple or otherwise, ar and must be,
subordinate to the public title. , The Socialist party strives
to prevent land from being used for purposes of exploitation
and speculation. It demands the collective possession, con
trol or management of land to whatever extent may be neces
sary to attain that end. It is not opposed to the occupation
and possession of land by those using it in a useful and bona
fide manner without exploitation.
This means, first, not that we will make it o there is no
absolute private title to land, but that there is rone now. By
this is meant that even today your private title will be for
feited if you do not recognize the public interest in the land by
paying taxes on it; and that if the public com hides to use
"your" land it may condemn it, appraise its value, pay you,
nnd take it. That is the philosophy of it. The proposition

employment and breaking the power of the landlord. Specu
lation in land consists in buying bind and holding it for raise

duces, and in hiring men to work land at wages that admits;
of the farm hand being deprived of part of his pvoduct. Social
ism does not declare that all private holdings shall cease, but
only that there shall be "collective possession, control or
management of land to whatever extent may be necessary"
to break the power of unemployment and landlordism. This
does not mean a "taking away of your farm." This is made
plain in the platform declaration that "it is not opposed to
the occupation and possession of land by those using it in a
useful and bona tide manner, without exploitation."
As to how much public land may be necessary to break the
power of unemployment and landlordism, that will lie for the
people to decide, at different times, as the problem may press
for solution, in either a local or general capacity. We are
placing it with YOlF to decide, not, trying to do it ourselves.
As to what is meant by public, land, we have public land now,
judge from that. Hut Socialists do not even deTnand that any
land shall be held public. They leave it with the people to
decide whether it shall be "owned" publicy or whether it
shall only be controlled or managed for the public good.
Some think, andprobably with sound logic, behind them, that
ultimately the people will see that they can raise more, with
less labor, by holding a very great amount of land in a public
capacity, farming it in large bodies under direction of experts;
but if such a method is ever adopted It will be because the
people want it adopted under the belief that it would conserve
their interests; and even then there is no reason why those
who do not want to work in that way should not run little
farms to suit themselves.
