House Caucus Agrees to Amend
ment Admitting Agricultural
Paper to Discount.
CHANGE is A COMPROMISE
Insurgents Claim Victory, but
Conservatives Point Out
That No Fundamental
Feature Is Altered.
Iron The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Aug 25.-An "agricult-
ural credit currency amendment diff
ferent in language from that proposed
by the Ragsdale- Henry insurgent fac
ton, but prohibiting discrimination
against the paper obligations OF the
farmer secured by staple agricultural
products, was written into the admia-
istration currency bill at the caucus Of
House Democrats this afternoon.
Insurgent members are claiming a
great victory" while Chairman Glass
is busy insisting that the amendment
really makes no fundamental change
In the bill, and that the farmer was
not Disseminated against in the first
place. The amendment is a compro-
mise, so far as language is concerned,
and Representatives Byrnes, of South
Carolina; Harrison, Of Mississippi, and
Buckley, of Ohio, are said TO be its
Joint authors. The former two were
favorable TO a farmers currency, but
were not committed to the mandatory
nature OF the Ragsdale- Henry amend
ment Mr.. Buckley represented the So
called conservatives.
Text Of the Amendment.
The paragraph. as rewritten and
unanimously adopted by the caucus.
reads:
Upon the Endorsement OF any mem
Der bank, any federal reserve bank
may discount notes and bills Of eX-
change arising out of commercial trans
actions; that is, notes and bills Of eX-
change issued or drawn for agricult-
ural, industrial or commercial purposes
or the proceeds of which have zen
used or may be used for such purposes,
the Federal Reserve Board to have the
right to determine or define the char
acter of the paper thus eligible for dis
count within the meaning Of this art;
but such de..nition shall not include
notes or bills issued or drawn for the
purpose Of carrying or trading IN
stocks, bonds or other investment Sc
curities, nor shall anything herein con-
tained be construed TO PROHIBIT such
notes and bills Of exchange. secured by
staple agricultural products or Other
goods. wares or merchandise from be-
ing eligible for such discount Notes
and bills admitted TO discount dnder
the terms of this paragraph must have
a maturity of not less than ninety
days"
\ The clause beginning nor shall any
II thing herein contained" is new mat
ter, and the word Investment before
the word Securities" was also in
serted. These changes, the insurgents
allege, mean that the farmers paper
will not be considered speculative in
the event that its maker wants to hold
his crop for better prices-and every
body seems satisfied.
Glass Denies Surrender"
Mr. Glass was sarcastic tonight in
answering Mr. Henry's claim that the
conservatives had surrendered" He
alleged that the insurgents surrendered
and that there had been no really vitai
change in the bill.
THE rediscount section as thus
amended" said Mr.. Glass, does not
comprehend a single one Of tie wild
and absurd suggestions which had been
proposed. Mr.. Henry surrendered
solely and simply because he was

Human Hearts.

Human Hearts, with many
seasons of success to its credit,
will be the attraction for Tues
day night, December End at the
Comus theatre, and will give
seekers after popular amusement
an opportunity to laugh, cry and
applaud the many pathetic and
laughable scenes Of the grand old
play. The scene Of Tom Logan's
cross roads blacksmith shop, the
interior Of the Little Rock, Ar
kansas, prison, and the cottage
on the Logan farm with its bush

The company that is playing the
piece this season is said to he the
best seen in it for several seasons

added to it, giving it more light
and shade than heretofore, a
bright comedy vein running
through the piece from first to

progressive counties in the state.
We have perhaps done more
drainage and more thing than
any county in the state. Our
splendid county superintendent
of education has demonstrated
to us and the outside world that
we are ahead of the best in the
variety and quality of our agri-
cultural productions. We are
taking front rank in the building
of good roads.
Now let's make the biggest
step we have made in the way OF
progress by employing an agrl-
cultural commissioner for our
county. One who knows, to give
all his time to the improvement
of the methods of agriculture IN
our county. Let's get an up-to-
date man to visit all parts of the
county to encourage. to advise
and counsel, and to enthuse our
farmers toward better and
more progressive method OF cul-
ture. We can do this with a
comparatively small outlay. The
federal government will help get
a good man, and will pay one
third of his salary if the county
will pay the other two-thirds.
Our board of supervisors are
progressive enough to do this if
they feel that they are backed
by a strong public sentiment.
That sentiment is already here IT
it will only express itself. A
meeting of progressive farmers
and business men is called for
Tuesday, December I'd, at the
court house in Tupelo, to take
action in this matter. The rep
resentatives Of the federal gov
ernment will be here on that date
to assist.
Let every progressive farmer
and business man of the county
who is interested in the develop
ment and improvement of farm
ing in this county be present.
This agricultural commissioner
for a county is no experiment.
It has been tried in many coun-
ties with phenomenal and mar
velous success. Nowhere has it
failed where it has been given a
fair trial. Everybody get busy
and have an enthusiastic meet
ing and back up your board OF
supervisors. }. @. Robins.
