BACK TO T H E EARM
T h ere w ere 208.000 m ore persons living on fa rm s in
America at th e beginning of 1931 th a n th e re w ere at the
beginning of 1930, according to th e an n u a l report of th e
S ecretary of A griculture. F rom w hat we observed, we
should say th a t the increase during 1931 h as been even
g re a te r th a n th a t. This is a very significant m ovem ent of
population aw ay from industrial c e n te rs and back to th e
ru ral regions, w here th e problem of keeping out of th e poor-
house is now here nearly so difficult.
P erh ap s the m ost in tere stin g conclusion w hich Mr.
Hyde draw s from th ese and o th e r figures is th a t th e United
S ta te s is ap proaching the stag e of a s ta tio n a ry population.
In all but fo u r or five of the big cities th e d e a th ra te today
is higher th an th e birth rate. T he com ing g en e ratio n s in
America m ust com e from th e farm s. T he se c re ta ry believes
th at th e prevention of an ac tu a l decline in th e population of
th e nation calls for th e developm ent of gov ern m en tal poli
cies which will m ake it increasingly possible for a large pro
portion of o u r people to live in th e co u n try , even th o u g h
not wholly dependent on farm in g for th e ir em ploym ent.
We m ust say th a t we ag ree w ith Mr. Hyde th a t the
dweller in th e sm all tow n, o r on th e farm , is m uch m ore se
cure so far as the necessities and m ost of th e real coiii-
fo rts of life go, th a n m ost of th e people who live in th e cities
are. W hen city folks talk as they do about th e terrib le dis
tress and su ffering of so m any m illions of th eir people who
have no jobs and no w ay of feeding o r housing th eir fam i
lies, th ey are talk in g ab o u t so m eth in g th a t we who live in
th e co u n try to w ns and on th e fa rm s only faintly com pre

these th at we realize how m uch b e tte r off we a re th a n o u r

DO TAXPAYERS VOTE?
A proposal to increase th e n u m b er of persons taxed
by low ering th e exem ptions is su re to find favor in m any
q u arters. It will be supported not m erely as a m eans of in
creasing revenues but on th e ground th a t it will im prove
th e m orale of th e country. As one distinquished S e n a to r
put it recently:
"T h is co u n try belongs to all of us and a s fa r a s possible
all of us ought to co n trib u te to its support. If we had m ore
m en and wom en paying th eir sh are of governm ent, how
ever sm all th a t share, we should have m ore m en and w om

We have a population of 120 m illion of w hom ab o u t 60
