The Small
Society
By SCOTT LAMB
Information D irector
While President Johnson is
struggling to build the Great
Society, members of his cab
inet are hard at work attempt
ing to create a “ Sm allSoclety”
in agriculture. This has become
most apparent in a recent news
story from C alifornia telling
ot growers plowing under some
$9 m illio n worth of strawber
ries because of a picker short
age. The shortage was planned
by the government and executed
with the finality practiced by
bureaucrats alone.
With the legislated close
out of the Bracero program and
the d icta to ria l order by Secre
tary of Labor W illa rd W irtz
that growers must pungle up
higher pay fo r pickers, growers
found themselves In a strange
and almost unlielieveable s it
uation.
American finance and pro
cessing industries moved to
Mexico to take advantage of
the cheap labor offered by the
“ homelound” B r a c e r o s. The
berries grown In Mexico are
s h ip p e d back to the United
States where they compete with
American-grown b e rrie s.
The s a m e problem became
apparent In the date industry In
the Coachella Valley of C a lif
ornia. There, the $7 m illion
date Industry faced disaster
following an order from Sec
retary W irtz that the growers
guarantee every person show
ing up In the groves $1.50 an
hour. Piece work pickers were
averaging $1.57 an hour.
However, dates are Imported
from the Middle East in com
petition with C alifornia grow
e rs. Labor costs in those coun
trie s are about 25 cents an
hour.
Our government is quite ada
mant about building two-way
trade with other nations, and
it is extremely d i f f i c u l t to
maintain protective ta riffs on
a gricultural products.
T h e r e f o r e , with Im ports
maintained and high wages set
by government decree, farm ers
are rapidly become the "S m all
Society.”
Landlord's Duty . . .
Usually the landlord keeps
control over some part of
rented property. The more he
controls, the more he can keep
an eye on the tenant’ s activ
itie s , and the more responsib
ility he has. The area he con
tro ls must be safe fo r the
tenant and the public, o r else.
As a rule, what Is not in
the tenant’ s actual possession,
Is the landlord’ s responsibility.
Accidents often happen on
stairways, and outside s ta ir
ways are under the landlord’ s
control if a ll of the tenants
use them; and inside stairways
generally are not fo r the land
lo rd ’ s use but solely fo r the
tenant. Sometimes the landlord
w ill keep some control of in
side stairs, say for storage
o r repair or to get outside.
If so, he w ill be responsible
fo r any defect in these s ta ir
ways.
Porches, platform s and decks
often cause trouble. If acces
sible only to the tenant then
th e y are his responsibility
alone. If other tenants also use
them, then the landlord again
has to keep them up p roperly;
and If he keeps up any part
of them he must keep the whole
area In good repair.
One landlord tied a clothes
line which all tenants used to
a post on the porch though
only one tenant used the porch.
The post weakened and hurt
one tenant. The court held that
by the landlord’ s clothesline
he kept control of the whole
porch, and hence was liable
fo r the injury.
The same rule holds true of
yards, play areas, and drive
ways used by many of the ten
ants or their children.
In one case a large apart
ment owner had a large play
area. He allowed cars to drive
on It to park near the apart
ments. One car driven there
ran over and injured a child.
The child sued. The court held
the landlord to blame fo r not
p roperly caring for the grounds
under his control.
