MEDTORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. MAY 7. 1937. PAGE FOUR SEEN IN ROVING, UNDLESSPEOPLE Wandering Homeless Class Is Forerunner of Decay, Tenancy Expert Says in Describing Soil Misuse 8 AN FRANCISCO (UP) Mliuu of ths agricultural land of tha TJnltad ststas bat Jeopardized ths draara of a great, prosperous and ststole Amsr Scan democracy, according to Dr. trwla C. Gray. sxecutlvs aecretary of President Rooaerelt'i committet on farm tenancy. Dr. Oray aUo la director of ths division of land utilization of the nrettlement admlnlitratlon. a mem ber of the governments great plains committee and vartoua other govern mental organizations for the bring ing about land reform and conser vation of resources. A large part of th nation's land resources ' are gone. Dr. IjswIs de clared, and much of the remainder Is In s state of deterioration. The greatest danger to the United States as a -whole. Dr. Oray foresees. Is the creation of an Immense land Ires, homeless and wandering class that would start the decay of Amer ican Institutions from within. ' Cites World History , . . "Th decay of many nations," he declared, "has begun with th re volts of lsndless populations. This wss th ess of ancient Rome just s It was with modern Russia, and It wss for thst reason that Ksrl Marx ohoss as a basis for his soc , lsllstlo theories the possession of lend. "Our land problems of today have teen faced by other nations and peoples for centuries past and ar th tarn a ban caused the dltsp pearanc of many nations from ths arth. "In our present highly Industrial ized life, w have lost sight of the agrloultural needs of ths country until floods, drouths, dust storms, tenants' unions, and farmers' strikes hare called our attention to them, while at th earns time they have started th roaming about th coun try of a vast number of homeless, landless people who may eventually constitute th nuoleus of a revolting element against American Institu tions. Revolution always beglne eas iest Willi dissatisfied agrloultural clssses." Low Income Group Grows - Dr. Lewis declared thst one-fourth nt the population of th United States depends upon agriculture, yet th condition of a vast number of these people Is pitiful In ths ex treme degree. He ssld that there now are 1,000.000 farmers who hsve sn Income of less than 9400 a year and nearly twice that number who ar little better off. There ar 1,000,000 farmers that do not stay on their farms for more then a yesr, he ssld, for the reason that they have either mis-used the lend to such an extent thst It csn no longer be worked profitably or thst they were never suited for sgrl eultursl pursuits. Dr. Lewis ssserted there srs two tilings necessary 4o save what should ordinarily be the most stable and soundest clsss In American life. First Is to crest a vsst clsss of small landed farm. - proprietors who csn profitably work their land on a per manent basis and, second, to crests In th American mind th conscious ness that land ownership offers not only a means of making a living but Involves a responsibility toward th nstlon. Warns of Speculation Steps, he declared, must be taken to prevent all misuse and deteriora tion of land, apeculstlon and every thing else which Is not only exhaust ing th nation's land resources but bresklng up ths possibility of a per manent, prosperous class of farmers and Isnd owners. At present. Dr. Lewis said, only bslf of the nation's farmers enjoy anything Ilk economic security, while many of ths others hsve been reduced to th status either of ten ants, laborers or evsn crop sharers. Dr. Lewis advocated a system that will permit a vast amounts of land to revert to th government, which will be charged with Its redistribu tion in such a manner as to maks It profitable to those who work ss well s to insure conservation ss part of th national resources for future gen-siatlons.
