Dean Miller Says to Make Him
Land Owner.
Tells Bankers of Long Time
Loans in Old Countries.

Manhattan. Kan, Nov. 2o.-One of
the most important influences in the
interest of farmers in kansas has been
exerted in the last few years by the
state Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan. The Bankers Association
through its secretary, W. w Bowman,
has been particularly active in the
-5tion secretaries OF local groups
have invited the agricultural college to
have a representative in every group
/ Getting. J. H. Miller, cean OF the d.
vision of college extension spoke, last
week, to bankers groups at Great
Pend, Harper and Chanute, and is to
speak, this week, TO other groups at
Kansas City, Kan, and Beloit-
Dean Miller advised the bankers to
give special attention to rural and city
school advancement along vocational
lines, to demonsu atoms by farmers
associations, and to encouraging the
county farm advisor idea But more
important, perhaps, than anything else
US Dean MiIIer's insistence upon the
bants or 4 system of farm loans su-
pervfsed by the state TO help capable
md honest young tenant farmers to
own their farms Longer loans with
20 years was the text upon which he
spoke. If the tenant farmer is a
menace as many deep thinkers believe,
Dean Miller said, the tenant farmer
can be aoOIShed Dy making MIN a
land owner. and the bankers and the
state can bring this about In Ger
manv for instance, the Rainesen
banks lend three-quarters of the value
of the farm for from 10 to 20 years;
in France a man may borrow three
quarters of the value for from 10 to
20 years: in Denmark, nine-tenths of
he NaIue of his land for from 10 to
20 years while in Ireland, where the
situation is somewhat different than in
other country, the whole value of
the land is advanced for 4 2 years.
Dean Miller also advocated cooper
alton in distributing, farm produce
selling grain, stock and fruit The
Kansas people, he says, must work
OF systeI- that will be fair and not
revolutionary.

DEPEW DEFENDS HIS PARTY
Even Roosevelt Doesn't Believe
He Gan Be Elected, He Says.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, former United
States Senator, was the principal speaker
last night at a gathering at the Federal
Republican Club, No. A Avenue {. He
said he had been hfty-six years In the
Republican party, and he elaborated on
the glories Of It's organization.
THAT party was all right last March,
according to Theodore Roosevelt him
self" said Senator Depew, and II was
all right last June; but now II seems that
there are those who say that In Novem-
Der il must be destroyed. Had Mr.. Roose-
welt been nominated there is no doubt
he would have thought the party was all
that It should be"
The speaker said he did not think even
Roosevelt himself believed he would he
elected on the Progressive ticket. AS TO
Mr.. Wilson, Senator Depew thought that
lie was all right as a professor and col
Iege president, and perhaps as Governor
for the state OF New Jersey, but he could
not see how he would make very good
