DELEGATE'S PLAN
Proposal to Meet Evil of Increas
ing Tenantry.
TO FIGHT EDUCATION CAUSE
Union Labor Opposes Technical Trend
In Public Schools Proposition to
Be Presented to Basic Law
Makers. Springfield. Delegate Henry M.
IJunlup believes the constitutional con
dition can nnd should open n wny to
Increase food production on Illinois
fnnn.
"Farmers In my soctlon of tho stnto
lire seeding down to grass n pnrt of
the hind they have been cultivating,"
he snld, "hoenuso they ennnot get help.
Till", together with tenantry, which Is
Increasing rapidly, Is reducing food
production nnd Is making n problem
'lint concerns us nil."
His solution, which will bo present
mI to the eon-eon soon, Is the estab
lishment of stnto fiirm loan banks. If
tho state will provide money nt n low
nito of Interest nnd on long time, ho
believes the young men of the rurnl
districts will buy fnrms of their own
and help produce food Instead of
Hocking to the cities. Thus he would
moot the tenantry nnd help questions.
Mr. Dunlnp Is chulrmnu of the agri
cultural committee of tho con-con and
ns the head of n subcommittee tins
helped draft u proposnl by which tho
legislature would be given authority
to establish nnd maintain funds to be
lonned to purchasers of farms. Tho
loan would be secured by tho lnnd pur
chased nnd would be pnld off In In
stallments covering n long period of
years. Loans would bo nvnllnblo only
to persons who would cultivate tho
tracts they bought under this nrrnnge
ment. "Tenantry on the Illinois farms has
Increased 50 per cent In tho Inst ten
yenrs," Mr. Dunlnp declared. "In 18S0
only ill per rent of tho fnrms of the
stnto were In the bauds of tenants. In
11)10 tho per cent hnd Increased to -11.4
nnd In 1020, nccordlng to estimates
compiled by the legislative reference
bureau, the per rent of tenants on Illi
nois farms has Incrcnsed to CO.
"According to surveys inndo by
county fnrm bureaus In central Illinois
tenants occupy 75 to 80 per cent of the
farms In several counties.
"Confirmed tenantry running ns high
as It does In Illinois Is n menace to the
future welfare of tho stnte. Scientific
Investigation nnd common observa
tion unlto In tho chnrgo that It re
sults In smaller crops, In declining fer
tility of tho soil nnd In n lower stand
nrd of soclnl welfare, wherever It be
comes the domlnnnt method of agri
culture. "Herein lies tho Interest of die stnte.
Ownership of the fnrm by thoso who
occupy It Is productive of n better
agriculture, a mnlntennnco of tho fer
tility of tho soil nnd u higher typo of
citizenship.
"Another feature Is citizenship. It
enmo to bo understood during tho war
ns nover before. Tho fnrm homo Is
tho bulwark of tho nntlon, but this Im
plies that tho homo Is owned by tho
fanner.
"Tho tenant would not fight for tho
absentee landlord ns ho would for his
awn homo. He will not produce for
such landlords ns though ho owned the
farm.
"Illinois Is losing Its best tenants.
Thoso who hnvo made some monoy on
Illinois fnrms nro removing from tho
stnto because of tho Impossibility un
der present conditions of purchasing n
farm homo In tho state.
"Conllrmed tenantry with no hopo of
ultlmnto ownership of tho land on tho
pnrt of tho tenant would bo disastrous.
Our stnto should not permit present
conditions, nnd It Is my belief that tho
long-tlmo loan with small Initial pay
ment nnd n low ruto of Interest to
thoso who occupy the land, will nceom
pllsh the desired result."
Charles B. Stlllimui, chairman of tho
committee on schools of tho Stnto Fed
eration of Labor Is expected to pro
sent the organization's school plan
this week, when labor Is scheduled for
u Held day. Samuel Gnmpers wns In
vited to be the hendllner, but ho wired
President Woodward that ho ennnot
come until April 1 1. It Is assumed ho
will bo given u hearing on that date.
Tho enn-cuu commltteo on schools
has till but agreed upon ehnnglng tho
purpose of the public schools. They
propoMi that tho children of Illinois
shall be glen such tin education ns
will make them "useful and self-sup-porting
citizens." To this, which Is
thought to grunt much broader power
than Is now conferred by tho bnslc
law, tho labor federation and tho teach
ers' association nro In opposition.
Wants Ex.Governors In Senate.
The legislative committee of tho
constitutional convention will bo asked
to consider n plan by which all ex-governors
would become members of the
stnto senuto on retiring from tho olllco
of chief executive. William E. Trinit
mniiii of East St. Louis Is nuthor of a
proposal by which this would bo writ
ten Into tho constitution, He would
have the right given thoso who hnvo
served us governor to sit In tho sen
ate, take part hi discussions and act
on committees, but would not permit
them to vote.
Edward W. Everett, the well known
lawyer, Is frequently talked of for
congress by his many political friends.
Ho is said to havo no ambition in this
direction, but his popularity would
causo his election to almost any office
he was nominated for.
Mayor Thompson should be given
