The majority of settlers are having varying degrees of success in the subduing of these lands. Having touched upon the number of settlers taking up the land, let us turn a moment to consider some of the benefits to the community and state to be derived from such settlement. It is needless to mention their direct service in the development of producing farms, thereby making available more taxes for state and county purposes. It is very noticeable that such settlement has a profound effect in the stabilizing of labor in the various localities. Wherever men having property rights in a community are employed, the labor is more steady, dependable, and there is very little radical labor agitation and sabotage. If we could get down to the fundamentals in righting our industrial and social well-being to the end so that the people in the country shall continue to live in peace and contentment, we, as a commercial organization, must see that the number of those having individual property rights is made to increase. When the homeless and those without landed interest out-vote and overrule those having homes and property, the form of government has no assurance of permanency. We may hope for the day when most of the gang labor with its attendant riot and insurrection can be replaced by men of families, good citizens, and taxpayers attached to the homes by every tie of affection, loyalty, community pride, and patriotism. Our problem is, therefore, how to increase and preserve individual ownership of lands and homes.
