country. Farmers especially will be
benefited by the new law. The abil-
ity to get money at an easy rate OF
interest will cause more extensive i'm
provements to be made by the farm
ers, and they will add to their live
stock, farm machinery, and buildings
and will clear more land. The busi-
ness men of the towns will also be
benefited inasmuch as they will be
able to borrow at short notice with
out paying exorbitant interest. I be-
lieve the law will prove to be a good
one"
