Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia. presi-
dent of the National Farmers union,
has been named by President Taft to
be a member of the highly important
commission on industrial relations,
authorized by congress.
1t is said that the senate likely Will
refuse to confirm the commission
named by the president, and in that
event of course, MT. Barrett would not
sit upon it as at present proposed
President Woodrow Wilson, however,
will name new commission soon after
Inauguration, which will be confirmed,
and Mr.. Barrett will be renamed. There
does not seem to be any doubt about
that.
Senator Hoke Smiths proposed bill
extending the national banks the right
to lend money on real estate is general
ly approved in Georgia.
The fact that national banks are not
permitted to make loans upon real es-
tate collateral makes it harder for the
farmer to get money, so various news
papers argue. than it would be if the
old prohibition were removed.
The purpose of the law originally was
to force national banks to lend money
only on collateral Immediately con-
vertible into cash in case of forfeiture,
but the necessity of holding real estate
collateral rigidly to a contrary classl-
ficatiOn is urged to have passed, and.
therefore. the Georgia newspapers
particularly of the rural persuasion
believe that the financial situation
would be greatly and sensibly relieved
If national banks might make loans on
real estate as security.
Anyway. Senator Smiths bill is be-
ing applauded from one end of the state
to the other as a mighty desirable
thing
