SHOULD REcEDE ON THE
/. METAL SCHEDULE.
ARE MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
IL is Generally Known That the Pres
j ideat Wishes Banana Tax Strickes
Out Meaning a Big Loss in Revenue
Each Year.

WasNilston.-Demo soofereSs
u the Senate and He1se made rapid
1rogress On the tariff ~, approving
earthenvare and glassware schedules
with slight changes; the sugar sched-
1le with its free sugar provision. end
the date for the new rates extended to
March 1, 1914; the tobacco schedule
the wool schedule and all the agricul-
tural schedules with the exception Of
The proposed banana tax and the
eountervailing duty on wheat.
In the metal schedule the con-
Serees struck the first snag and after
several hours discussion the entire
matter was passed over to be taken
up later. Majority Leader Underwood
and the other House conferees insist
ed that the Senate should recede from
its action in placing ferro manganese,
pig iron, steel ingots, slabs and blooms
on the free list. They contended that
too much revenue is sacrificed and
there is a growing opi ION that the
Senate conferees eventually will agree
to small revenue duties on these AZ
ticles.
Contrary to the general eXpec;a-
ton, little difficulty was encountered
in the agricultural schedule, tae
House conferees agreeing quickly to
free cattle. The dispute on the
eountervailing duty an wheat is yet
to be settled.
AS to the banana tax 1t IS generally
known that the President wishes it
stricken out. This would mean loss
in revenue of approximately two and
a half million dollars.
In all OF the schedules sligh7
changes were made, the Senate re-
ceding from amendments where de-
creases in rates were made.

The Inequality of the Law

An Oklahoma court has just given
man ten years in the pen for stealing
a loaf of bread. 1t occasionally gets
across that a man may plead the I'M
written law in that State, and get
away with a plea that his family is
ruined. But the courts don't worry
much, if there's nothing the matter
with his family except starvation
Port Arthur News.
Blackstone says that customs which
have existed time whereof the mem
ory of man runneth not to the con-
trary," become a part of the common
law. 1t is, therefore, common law in
Texas that no white man should be
convicted of murder If there is con-
yenient excuse to acquit him. In the
case of the man VINO steals bread no
such custom exists for the reason that
swift and certain punishment has been
inflicted upon that class of offenders
from the time of Jean Vatican to the
present day-Houston Post.
Regardless of Blackstone's COM
mentaries, the unwritten law and the
recorded statutes, there is custom
with Texas juries to turn the big guns

BETTER CREDIT SYSTEM FOR
FARMERS.

One reason why farmers in the
South do not borrow more money at
the present time is because of the diff
ficulty of securing satisfactory alb
stracts of title. Another is because
the farmers in the South have de-
manded in the past very small
amount of money or credit per farm.
Still another reason is that only
small percentage of the farmers are
at the present time in the market to
secure loans. Let us assume that
that there are one hunderd farmers
under consideration in a given COM
munity Forty-three of these are ten
ants or managers and therefore are
not in the market; of the 81 remain
ing only ten are in the market for
loans of this kind and the average
amount of money or credit desired is
only a little more than $500. People
who have money to loan do not flock
to such communities. If larger per-
centage of farmers We're in the market
looking for money it would be easy to
secure it.
The first demand is for an improv-
ed land mortgage system. If farmers
could secure smaller amounts of mon
ey for shorter terms at lower interest
rates with land as security, they
would more rapidly drain the wet
places, remove the stumps, carry
away the stones, clear away the brush
and bring into bearing many an acre
of land now in farms, but unimprov
| ed. This is the first and most press
ing problem. But lower rates of in
terest cannot be expected until land
titles have been perfected and lane
surveys have definitely established alb
solute boundaries.
1t will be necessary first to thor
oughly establish present titles anC
boundaries; this can best be done b!

and tested for many decades il

But It is even more important tina
the farmers be placed in a position S
that thew may borrow smalle
amounts of money for more CONVEX

curity. The present mortgage sy'
