Lloyd George's New Scheme
Lloyd George, most acrobatic of statesmen, is out with a
new bid for power and popularity on a program involving
Btate ownership of all farm land in the United Kingdom. He
proposes the seizure of big estates and their diversion to
help the idle workmen feed themselves. The seized land
would remain state owned and be leased to the unemployed.
Insofar as the state would reassert its sovereign author
ity over the land, would control cultivation, and create forests
on waste tracts, the Lloyd-George plan means nationaliza
tion, but not in the sense that the state itself would cultivate
the soil and make farming a government monopoly.
Lloyd-George proposes to eliminate the landlord and
abolish the present landlord-tenant system of tenure. In tak
ing over the soil, the state would pay to every landlord an
annual compensation equal to his present net income. There
after, the tenant would pay his rent directly to the state.
Generous credits are proposed, special terms being given
farmers, who to avoid eviction, have been obliged to purchase
their land at monopoly prices since the war. State land banks
would advance credits to needy tenants, and every tenant
and his descendants would be guaranteed the right to keep
the farm so long as he cultivated it.
The advantages of this radical proposal to offset the ef
fects of the war are thus summarized by its author:
1. Free tho country from tho yoke of foreign food andlimber
Imports, amounting In 1924 to $2,000,000,000.
2. Set right tho first adverse trade balance Britain has ever
Buffered.
3. Wipe out hof million and n quarter unemployed.
4. Turn to constructive purposes the millions of dollars now an
nually paid by tho stato to keep the kilo from starving.
G. Recover 4,000,000 acres lost to cultivation during the last
fifty years.
0. Revive the attraction and prosperity of rural life.
7. Relievo tho housing sliortago In the cities.
At the apartment house the le-
vat or man took her upstairs with-!
out .announcing her, and showed
her which door was BUly'a. She,
rang the bell and stood watching,
feeling as If she had come to the
end of a long, weary road. Billy
would help her, would take thin eh
into hia hands. She could see how
Indignant he would be, how quick
ly he would straighten things out.
Mrs. Lindsay would never be able
to face him and cling to her
trumped-up evidence. She would
fed different about fighting Billy
than she had about accusing alone
ly, frlondless woman; Billy himself
backed by his wealth and position,
would be an enemy worth considering.
Light steps behind the closed
door; the click of an electric light
(twitch, the door flung -open nnd
Janny facing her, Janny with her
nharply marcelled blonde hair, and
her sclfLsh little face.
"Oh, It's you!" she exclaimed
bluntly, as Marie shrank b:ick from
her. 'Rather a novel situation,
bm't It.-Billy"a ex-wlfe and hla
wlfe-to-be dropping In on him like
this; how pleased and surprised
he'll be when he gets home!"
Society
(Continued from Parte Five.)
Quite the Fashion
The civic development department of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United Stales finds that in the past five
years, 63 American cities changed their names as against 13
during the preceding five years. In the .year 1924, the
changes totalled 24 nnd in the first half of this year, 21.
No state exhibits the same paucity of imagination or the
failuro to utilize the picturesque nomenclature of the
aborigines as Oregon. With the exception of Klamath, none
of our cities bear Indian names the balance are merely repe
titions of the names of eastern cities, repealed in each state
as the pioneers pushed westward. There ore in the United
States 27 Snlcms, 25 Ashlands, 22 Daytons, 20 Portlands, 18
Albanys, 13 Bakers, 10 Dallas's, 9 Pendletons, 9 Medfords, 6
Marshfields, 5 Eugenes, 5 Astorias and 4 Bends.
None of these names, with the exception of Astoria, are of
historic interest or have any claim to fame in connection with
Oregon. They are merely a senseless duplication of place
names and a reflection of Oregon's inferiority complex. But
the fact that it is becoming the fashion for American com
munities to rechristen themselves with more appropriate
names along with adopting city planning and zoning for
beautification, lends hope for the future, for fashion some
times accomplishes what reason fails to.
So it will bo seen that if Salem changes her name to that
of Chemcketa, the ancient Indian village that occupied her
site, she will be merely following the modern tendency to
assert individuality and avoid confusion by exercising origin
ality that confers distinction.

A IJ1TTKU BLOW
Mnrlo started at Mrs. Limtsny
If she were seeing a Khost. What
In tho world could the woman
mean?
"I shall jrgln divorce proceed
ings at once nnd name you as co
respondent." That woa what she
had euld those were the words,
but how could there bo any mean
ins behind them?
"Katherlne!" Herbert Lindsay
exclaimed, tnHIiig a step toward
hia wiro, "Thero'a somo mistako
here:"
"Ycb, nnd Its mine the mistake
of believing In you, of loving you.
when you were making love to this
woman," Mrs. Lindsay reported.
"Oh. how could I have been so
blind! No doubt you two havo
known each other for months I
remember how enjter you were to
remember when she cm mo to apply
for this position 1 Wouldn't even
engngo her when she came to ap
ply for this position! Wouldn't
even see the other applicants,
would you 7 Well
Katherlne It wiw Madeleine
who took to MIm Lnne nt once,
and It was you who sent tho other
awny," ho Interrupted.
"That's right, blame me. I sup
poso It's my fault that you've been
carrying on with her too! It's my
fault that you've been coming out
hero nights to see .her, letting me
accept engagements and then mak
Ing me go to our friends housed
alonel There won't b any mow ofj
It I can tell you. I shall divorce;
you. nnd name her, and after that j
what you do will be no concern
of mine."
Mnrle felt deathly sick. It seem
ed to her that she could not stand
thcro and lislen any longer, yet!
sho could not move to leave the
room, phe felt as If she had been
paralysed with horror, as If sht
wero In some dreadful nightmare, j
Behind Mrs. Lindsay she could see
Biffs Baton, the trained nurse
wllh whom she had refused to goa-
Hip, Understanding came swiftly.
How angry tho woman must have
been with her, to go to Mrs. Lind
say and tell her of nor husband's
two visits to the Long Island house
as revenge?
It seemed hours later when one
found herself in a slow train that
dragged Itself along toward the city
oh If It hated to arrive. She want
ed to think clearly, to doclde what
t do. What did ono do, In a case
like this? Unjustly accused, how
could sho defend herself? Sho must
get. a lawyer, hnvo him represent
her oh, but wouldn't It bo bettor
just to run nwny from the whole
thing, to disappear, let the great
city ctoso up over her, not try to
clear her own name. It would be
dreadful to go Into a crowded
courtroom and fnce tho curious
men nnd women who would gather
to see her tried. Suddenly she sym
pnthlged with overyone In the
world who was unjustly punished
with nil the persecuted ones who
were helpless In the face of Injus
tice. Courage came to her then. Sho
wouldn't run away. Sho would
defend herwelf against this othor
woman's cru-Mty. Blio was Marie
Lnne, no more waif whom misfor
tune had swept Into Mrs. Lindsay's
household, she had weapons with
which to right and she would use
hem. Hilly would help her; they
were still friends, even though
Janny had taken his love.
She checked her suitcase In thej
railway station and went Mralsht1
to the apartment where Billy wasl
ming until his mnrrlai-e. She felt
tired and bedraggled, too tired to
inco me onion I of riding In a I
crowded rnr; hastily figuring, she!
decided that she could afford to
take a taxi. In Its mirror she
caught a glimpse of her face and
was shocked ni: her own anpear-
nnce; she looked as If the had been
IK for month. i
