To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The upward evolution from laborer to tenant, and from tenant to owner, needs to be encouraged as much as possible. Con- versely, the change from ownership to tenantry is unfortunate, and can be prevented, in part, by better education and by better laws. The ownership of land is the poor man's rock of defense. With free lands practically at an end, and with land values rising rapidly, the power of the laborer to save and to accu- mulate enough to buy a small farm is becoming harder each decade. ...While land is still cheap, the poor man should be educated to thrift and helped to ultimate land-ownership; and the man of small means who owns a farm should be prevented from losing it by reason of poor farming methods. The struggle, in the near future, for land and the food it will produce will be severe indeed. The foreign tenant understands the importance of land-ownership much better than does the native American. The Italian, in particular, seems to have a genius for saving and obtaining the possession of land.
