RIGHT KlfJD OF LAIIDLORD A DENEFACTOR

Yv.' BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. So much has been said about the landlord and tenant system of farming being a national menace that one Is almost led to believe that there is no virtue in the system whatever. Borne one has said that, landlords and tenants, poor roads or no roads at all, poor houses and poorhouses, slipshod farming and old-time methodsall these together where you find one you find the others. This, of course, is true to a large extent; but we believe that, in most farm communities there is just as great a percentage of run-down, unsightly farms in the hands of owners themselves as in charge of the tenants. Our purpose in writing this article, however. Is not to argue that point; but to tell of what two landlords have done and are now doing, which shows that there is some virtue at least in the landlord and tenants system. There was a farmer's meeting in the city recently, and just around in little groups discussing farm topics which is one of the values of farm organisations. The farmers in the group, of which we were a part, were talking about landlords and tenants. There were three landlords and five tenants in the group Indicating that tenants as well aa landlords are interested in farmer's meetings. One of the landlords was much interested in a power plowing outfit. He bad a catalogue with him which showed cuts of the plow and told of the excellent features of the outfit. The landlord seemed to know the good points of the implement by heart. "If that machine will do the work that the makers claim it does. I believe that it will be a good investment for me and my tenants to procure it for use on my two farms." said the landlord. His two farms joined and be aim ed to economize for his tenants whereever it was possible for his tenants to use the same equipment. -"I believe that I can afford to pay one third of the purchase price of the outfit, and that it would pay each of my tenants to take a third interest in it." He then proceeded to explain the economical value of the implement. "Do you consider everything in connecton with your farms in that way?" We asked when he had completed his explanation. "If you mean: do I take my tenants Into consideration in everything connected with the farm work? I must say that I do, because whatever will make money for them will also make money for me," was the reply. "A man working for a landlord like you, tenants, wouldn't be switching around every year or two," one tenant in the group remarked. "A man working for a landloard like you would feel more like going ahead and doing some extra, instead of see ing how little he could do to get something for nothing out of the place," was a remark from another tenant. "You are wrong," said the landlord to the first tenant who spoke. "During the past fifteen years I have had six tenants on one of my places, but on the other the present tenant has been with me for a 'little over ten years. The only reason that this one has been with me so long Is that he is a trader. and it seems practically impossible for a trader to save any money. "Although I do not like it because he trades, I keep him because he is a good worker. The others that I have had for tenants on my place are now in possession of farms of their own. So you see they don't stop with me." There is no occupation that affords better opportunities for the man with little capital than that of being a tenant farmer. That is, under favorable circumstances. There are very few other occupations that give a man a chance to work on a profit sharing basis with the employer. If the landlord mentioned above had remained on his farm and had not giv en those other men opportunities to use his land, and brains, and capital, there would, no doubt, be six less land owners today. Looking at the landlord and tenant subject from this stand point, there seems to be considerable virtue in the system. "The greatest mistake that most landlords make," said the landlord of whom we have just been speaking, "is to give the tenant the impression that you think he is more of a slave than a man who is his own master. Such an attitude. I find, will not bring out the best qualities of a man in any line of endeavor. "I aim to provide my tenants with living quarters that will not cause them to lose their self respect. In fact, they are provided with homes that are equipped with modern appointments equal to most city homes. It Is surpris ing that what a difference the environment of such a home makes in the lives of the family. "Another thing that I find tends to bring better results is the arrangement and convenience of the farm buildings. Although a man may be very careful about the way he cares for the farm animals most of the time, he will, if tired, or if the day is bad. neglect or slight the work of attending to. the stock if he has to go out of his way. You know how it is with yourself, if you have to go out to the straw stack and pull out bedding on jl stormy night, you are quite apt to ret that part of the work go. "I aim to be frank in all of my dealings with my tenants and encourage frankness in them. There is no sulking, because it the tenants or myself have any suggestions to make we make them to each other and not to the neighbors. There are very few suggestions that I make for I have an understanding before the tenant becomes my partner, for such he becomes. When I go out to the farm I do not give the tenants the Impression that I am looking for something to be wrong: I show them by my actions that I feel things are being done right. "There are very few tenants who will not do their very best to make money for the landlord if he will only make them think that he has confidence in their ability, and that he considers that they are on a level with

. This landlord is, no doubt, an exception to the general ran of landlords, snd we did not hesitate in joining the others of the group in telling him so. Just before he finished talking another landlord joined the group, and gave . us a little outline of how he handled his tenants. He also has two farms, but they are about three miles apart. Both farms consist of one hundred and sixty acres; on one of them he has a tenant. who farms on the thirds; and, on the other his tenant farms on the half-crop basis. He has owned the farm which he rents on the thirds only two years, and now has his second tenant there. The first tenant was so awfully lazy that It was impossible to endure him at all, although the landlord tried bard to do so. This is not the landlord's one-sided view, the writer knows this to be a fact, because of a personal acquaintance with the first tenant. "My tenants have charge of my places as much as though they owned them. I place as much confidence in them as the owner of a large manufacturing establishment does in his general manager. Whatever they think should be done about the place to improve the equipment they go ahead and do it, and then send the bill to me. If they did not possess business

judgment I would not retain them. "The tenant which has my place ren ted on the half-crop basis has a long term contract, so you see it is up to him to make the land produce the maximum yield. You can see that I have lots of confidence in him; and, as yet, be has not disappointed me. "This tenant is undoubtedly the best hog raiser in this community barring none. He feeds on a scientific basis, and knows just what he is doing all of the time, which is more than can be said of most farm owners today. This tenant is making handsome profits for himself; and while doing so. Is making handsome profits for me." Like so many other conditions that seem to indicate that the system is wrong, it seems to be more the man than the system. As some one has said: "The city of New York could be run on the old colonial system of gov ernment if the right kind of men were in office." NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT.

HOSPITAL" COMMITTEE PROTEST Oil ACTION

la the following communication A. Bar!, chairman of the hospital Investigating committee, criticises action tak en by council last evening: Editor Palladium: Th action of the council in changing the method of selecting the representatives of the medical profession to serve as members of the hospital board of trustees ts in my judgment a. Tfry serious mistake. It defeats a conclusion arrived at after considerable thought and discussion had been devoted to that phase of the question. The purpose of the committee in recommending that the representation of physicians on the board should be "by and from the licensed physicians of the City of Richmond and Wayne County" was for the reason (as should have been apparent to the members of the council) of securing only such as are fitted to serve in such a capacity, thus giving the benefits of their hospital experience to the institution. Under he present modified form, providing appointments of physicians as trustees in alphabetical order, qualification is absolutely eliminated, and to be eligible to serve on the board all that is needed is to be a licensed physician." Without resorting to direct mentioning of names, there are some members of the profession whose acquisition to the board will be a detriment rather than an Improvement. Presumably the object of the council in changing the report was to avoid Richard Dolorton, famed in college ' for his impersonation of soubrette roles which have given him the title -of Tender Dolores Mr. James Klnsella Miss Sophronise Bird, the wealthy grand aunt of Robert, known to his irreverent chums as "The Goose that lays the Golden Eggs" Miss Mary Connaughton Miss Sylvia Bird, cousin' to Robert and the ward of Miss Sophronisba. rejoicing in the appellation of "The Bird of Paradise". .Miss Mary Porter Miss Edith Hardy, "the girl Bob left behind him," but who rejoined him dtteta.goal ...'.. i Miss Mabel Steinkamp Maggie Maginnis, a little mother of the tenements. .Miss Hanna Dundon James T.

possible discrimination against the members of the profession who are not members of the Wayne County Medical society. Such a discrimination is not apprehended. It is far from a possibility. The recommendation was not made to satisfy the aspiration of any doctor to serve on the board, but to add to the efficiency or the hospital management and thus contribute to the popularity and usefulness to the community. To such an end was the primary purpose of this committee's appointment, and I, as an individual member of that committee, should be compelled to indorse the refusal on the part of the present board of trustees to comply with the council's demand. The council should not expect or ask them to sit with such as could be mentioned whose lack of qualifications unfit them for such responsibilities as are Involved in the duties of their office. If the modification is allowed to stand I must insist that my name be taken from the report as I could not under any circumstances contribute to a recommendation which opens the way for the induction of such as are unfitted for the position. It would have been more satisfactory to me personally to have had the council reject the report absolutely and thus give us an opportunity to produce the evidence in our possession to justify the recommendations.
