Benton Mackaye was pieked by the Department of Labor to deal with the problems of land devel opment and the cost of living. He has served the department of agriculture and has hetped to work out the secretary of labor's plan for opening our lands as an outlet for wage earners, A graduate of Harvard, he took a course in forestry at Harvard and entered the forest service’ un- der Gifford Pinchot in 1905, and. was transferred to the depart- ment of Labor as specialist in colonization and land problems in the office of Assistant Secretary Post in 1918..

It is intended to serve a double: pur- pose—to solve the labor question in the field of rail transportation, and to bring the maximum of efficiency to the problem of distribution in the Unit- a Stats, Its advocates say that it will mark a turning point toward a new era of prosperity and social peace. Its opponents say that it places dan- gerous power in the hands of a re- stricted group of workers and that it would be a radical step toward state soctalism. Benton Mac Kaye, employed -by- the United States Department of Labor as a eost of living expert, is an advocate of the plan. Read what he has written for The Daily Tribune. Tn relation to this vital matter, don’t adopt the I-don’t-care attitude, but analyze the plan, talk it over with your neighbors, seek out its faults, learn what both sides have to say.
