said it makes the farmers note given to thu
amount of $50 or more, for agricultural nipple
ments not negotiable. No bank would take !
without nquring into the matter, as to what i
was given for. He thought the bill discrimina
ton against farmers lie also thought they knew
their own business well as the Legislature
They have a right to give thsir notes for VIVA
they please But if the bill passed, they would be
obliged to pay their money down when the.
bought an agricultural implement costing owe
$50. The bill would also embarrass banks, be
cause they would have to inquire into the origin
of notes 1t would also increase litigation in thi
. State; and for these reasons he hoped his motion
+, uould prpyail
