BAND CONCERT

On last Tuesday evening the Band Boys gave a concert on the Court House Lawn.
 This was given to raise money for the boys. A number of girls served cream and cake to th e visitors. This was the means of raising the money.
 The evening was enjoyed by every one present.
 Prescott should be proud of such a band and should do ali in her power to aid the boys in making good. A small sum was raised and was certainly appreci- ated.

a meeting on October rs, at 10
O'Clock, to effect this organization.
'tThe governors of all the valley
States, the officers of commercial
bodies, officers of railroads operating
here, officials of agricultural and i'm
migration departments and the may
ors CT towns are invited to attend it.
''There is one problem that proba-
bly, will be given much attention at
that meeting. The steamship lines
at New York brought up the objec-
ton to building up the Southern i'm
migration sci vice, that the Southern
Senators and Representatives were
inclined to favor restrictions upon
immigration, such as was proposed
by the Burnett-Dillingham bill, de-
feated at the last regular Congress.
eve pointed out to them that
Louisiana's Congressman voted to
defeat that measure. The steamship
lines expect us to help Illustrate any
movement in Congress that tends to
place undue restrictions upon immi-
grafton.
''Of course, it is generally accepted
that to make the entrance require
ments for immigration too strict
would be a short-sighted policy. The
South wants the laws to be reasona-
bly, free The South needs immi-
grants today. The conference on Oc-
tober Is likely will attempt to line
up the business interests Of Dixie to
favor reasonable laws in this regard.
Naturally the steamship lines do not
want to build up a business that
could be shattered in day by the
passage of a law by Congress.

rowing power the chief factor in de-
termining prosperity.
We hold that to enable a farmer
to borrow money upon his land by
removing the protection of the
Homestead Law would contribute
nothing to his real prosperity except
indirectly, and then only if the money
thus borrowed wouldFesult in lower
living expenses and Increased earn
ing capacity. In other words, if bor-
rowing money upon his land would
enable a farmer to buy for cash in
stead of credit and also increase his
equipment, reduce the amount of his
labor, and enhance the fertility of
his soil, the borrowed money might
increase his prosperity. But we
think that the word might" is a
very uncertain one.
1t takes more than money to make
money from the farm. So many
other factors enter into the posi-
bilities or profit from years farm
ing operation, that money is only
single one. For instance, there are
questions of seed, season, prices for
crops, losses of work animals from
disease or accident, storms, insect
pests, and a host of other things
which make the difference between
good year and bad one. And
money borrowed on a mortgage has
interest due upon it every year which
does not take these questions into
consideration.
Our observation has been that
man can lose his little farm about
as quickly by the mortgage route as
any other way. and to open that door
to him by changing the Homestead
Law is not only a questionable ex-
pedient, but a very dangerous one.
Our position is that the farmer
and his neighbors should be given
the facilities for doing their own
financing independent of land liens
Staple crops are good security. They
are the basis of commercial paper

DOES THE SOUTH WANT THIS
SORT OF SEED SOWING?

New Orleans, La.-"The seed has
been sown for movement of immi-
grafton from Europe to the Southern
States that should result in the land
ing of hundreds and even thousands
of good new world citizens at the
station here every month";" declared
General Manager M. B. Trezcvant of
the association of commerce Thurs
day.
He is back at his desk from trip
to New York, where he was secretary
Of the steamship conference, and to
st. Paul, where he presided over the
sessions of the Association of Com
mercial executives.
Convinced that good results al
ready have followed the efforts of
the Southern immigration boosters,
Mr.. Trezevant told of plans to keep
the work going until results that will
be measured in increased population,
new industries and the putting to
good use of millions of acres of land
now idle will be apparent.
Already announcement has been
made that three steamship lines will
shortly start bringing immigrants to
New Orleans" Mr.. Trezevant said:
zone of these is the North German
Lloyd; the first vessel of which will
come here on October 8. The At
lantic Sea Navigation Company will
bring settlers here from Mediterra-
mean ports and the Fabre line from
Naples.
"These results are due to the agi-
tation arising out of the stea mship
conference in New York.
Now plan is on foot to proceed
with a permanent organization of
the Mississippi Valley association,
formed at New York.

the association, has issued a call for

writing in response to our in
vitation to give their opinions
of the Texas Homestead Law
and it's relations to rural credit, so
while they are waiting, we have
few more remarks to make on the
subject.
Those who are intimating or open
ly advocating that the Homestead
Law ought to be repealed or amended
to enable farers to borrow money
upon their land via the mortgage
route, belong with that large class
of economists which believe that
prosperity of the Individual, commu-
nifty or State is measured by the in
dividual's, community's or States
ability to% borrow. In short, they
take the position that the man who
cannot borrow is not prosperous
(Which we accept) and that there
fore the man who can borrow is
prosperous to the degree of his bor-
rowing ability (Which We hold is fall
lacious.)
Let us see how this theory of
measuring a mans ability to borrow
as a gauge to his prosperity works
out.
Ability to borrow naturally comes
to the man whose expenses are less
than his income. If man makes
a thousand dollars a year and lives
on five hundred, we say he is pros
porous, also he is able to borrow
money on his own credit if he can
demonstrate that he is going to keep
on making thousand dollars a year
and spending only five hundred for
living. Our point of view is that the
mans prosperity consists in the diff
ference between the cost of his liv-
ing and his income, that his ability
to borrow is merely an incidental
corollary to his thrift.
But those who measure prosperity
by ability to borrow make the bor-
