UNITED STATES Government
TO LOAN FARMERS MONEY

Washington, August 25.-Repre-
sentative E R Bathrick of Ohio, has
a novel plan for combining the
movement for better farm credits
with the movement for good roads
to the great benefit of everybody in
the country and withou! pennys
expense to anyone. In other words.
if the government undertakes any
great system of supplying capital
to farmers at cheap rates there
are sure to be large profits accru-
ing to the government from this
source even though the government
charges a very low rate of inter-
est. This profit Bathrick proposes
to apply to the construction of
good roads. Twenty five thousand
miles of model roads in FIVE years
without cost to the taxpayers
this has become Bathricks slogan.
The Ohio representative has TAX
en- keen interest in farmers credit
and was studying the European
forms Of farm finance months be-
fore the recent government COM
mission for the study of this sub
ject had even thought Of. Mr.
Bathrick introduced a farm credit
bill in Congress nearly year ago.
He has twice reintroduced this
bill with notifications based on
further study of the subject, the
last reintroduction containing his
plan for good roads construction.
Mr. Bathrick believes the govern
ment itself is the proper agency to
conduct this great financial institu-
tion for farmers. His proposition
is to have the government issue
bond based on farm land mortgages
e.Eich will be offered by farmers
benefitting in the plan. With this
tremendous credit the government
can borrow millions of dollars at 81
per cent. money which can be re-
loaned to farmers at an advance Of
one per cent. Farmers now pay
on the average 8per cent on money
borrowed on the security Of mort
cages "The benefit of my plan to
the people would be two fold,
said Mr. Bathrick: "a general back
to--the-farm movement and improv-
ed rural highways extending to
every prominent city in the coun-
try: The plan involves the institu-
tion of a Federal Farm credit
scheme, embracing direct loans
on farm lands and indirect loans
through banking companies is to as
sist in providing for short time
crop loans.
1t is not an extreme assumption
that after a reasonable time Of op-
Grafton the government would have
loans outstanding to the amount
of 81, 200, 900, 900 on the mortgage
of the farm home owners. This
would be $4,000, 100000 short on
the total land mortgage farm debt
At the end u the first six months
period. after the interest had been
paid upon its bonds. the govern
ment would have in its funding
account for rc.investment $42, $780,
600. This sum is reloaned. Thus
the government would be drawing
compound interest upnn its farm

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
At the CRYSTAL
Attempt to Steal Panama Canal.
Notable People in This Picture.

For Friday and Saturday of this
week Manager Walker of the Crys-
tai has THE Presidents Pardon" as
his feature picture.
This is three-reel picture and the
plot is laid on the supposed stealing
of the Panama canal. The action is
intense and the picture is so full of
action that one is thrilled from start
to finish with the daring work of the
participants.
Ex-President Taft and General Cas-
tro appear personally in this picture.
which will make 1t of great interest
to everyone
Frank Coffin. the famous aviator, Is
shown in his machine making a num-
ber of trips over the ocean--and. in
volving the Panafnan canal as 1t does,
the picture cannot fail to be more
than ordinarily interesting to people
who try to keep In touch with ac-
tiyities of the world. and especially
with the problems confronting the
United States at this time by reason
of the opening of the canal soon and
the chance of foreign powers attempt
ing to gain control of the canal at
some future time.
This picture is quite different from
anything that has been shown in
Grand Junction for some time and
will certainly prove star attraction.
Manager Walker is expecting capac-
ity houses and asks that all who can
will attend the matinees.

"The man who writes a partial

SOCIAL WAR ENDED

with his demand for social recognition
But this is doubtful, at least as
far as the women are concerned.
The majority of the wives of the
Senator's are perfectly willing to al
low a Cabinet hostess" to precede
them. Mrs. Swanson, wife of Senator
Swanson of Virginia. recently said
that tnC Cabinet women were always
50 delightful and agreeable about eT-
erythln-, and that she, for one, did
not care whether she sat to the right
or left Of one, or whether she was in
front or back of one, lust as long as
she was there. Mrs. Swanson's opin-
ion is representative of the greater
number. Of the women in her circle:
She also added that the matter OF
precedence was one Of the things mat
made Washington socially attractive,
but it was not of great Importance in
the social order of things.
Mrs. Fletcher Agrees.
Mrs. Fletcher, wife of Senator
Fletcher OF Florida, the president of
the Congressional Club, expressed
herself along this line much as Mrs.
Swanson did.
At the Congressional Club Friday,
when the first afternoon tea of the
season was held when the official
women came together for the first
time, little was said along this line,
and the few VINO had felt hurt were
easily brought to see that in not OBJ
serving precedence 1T was a matter
CT what might be termed carelessness,
rather than intent. The State De-
parunent sets the rule of precedence.
and is looked to for settlement of
the question that has been brought
uV by Senator Bacon.
This morning several wives of the
laughirgly said hat they
had agreed among themselves to make
the Cabinet calls whether they AHere
returned or not and what feeling may
have existed was put behind them and
forgotten. Then, when they read Mrs.
Bryan's statement they were glad they
had come to their understanding. Mrs.
Cullop. wife of Congressman Cullop of
Indiana, said that 1t would have made
absolutely no difference to her because
she realized shat it was almost impos-
sible to return all the calls and if her
call was returned she would be delight
ed, if not, she woud forget it.
During recent Administrations, the
ator Bacon has not been observed and
the members of the Cabinet and their
families preceded the members of the
Senate. This seemed to have come
about by tacit consent. There never
was any hard feeling about il. How
ever, only. partially was the rule broken
for the Cabinet hostesses called upon
the Senators wives first. This rule has
been invariable.
Thanks is due Mrs. Bryan for her gra-
cious act and there is little doubt that
when the women who are out of town
return and the social ball begins to roll
and the season is really on. there will
be no friction and the matter of preced-
ence will be settled.

att is true that the Idle cash in our
vault on this date was s5,59169 1t is
also true that our cash in other banks
Immediately available was s724, 70S 36,
which, together with the idle cash in
vault made 500. 29i 96-aII reserve money.
Our total deposits on that sdate were
81. 457. .6S9.65 This shows that our cash
reserve on that date was over 80 per
cent. No other bank in Washington
had anything like so big cash reserve.
Indeed, the Government requires of
national banks only . pc" cent reserve,
and has no fixed requirements for trust
companies and savings banks. Custom
here in the District of Columbia has
fixed. T think, 121a per cent as re-
serve for trust companies and savings
banks.
with its over % per cent cash reserve
the Munsey Trust Company made a
matchless showing of reserve strength
But this isn't all. The Munsey Trust
Company owned in bonds and securities
s. .o37. .s5e.77, which could have been con-
tnH intn cash at a Minutes notice
Add this to the cash reserve of $780,,
1886, and We had Immediately avail
able cash to the extent of sl,76S, ,2i7.73.
which was s31o. .55S.0S in excess of our
total deposits. In other words, it was
enough TO pay back every dollar to de-
positors and have left over $3l0, .0S.
But this isn't all, either. We had in
l6Ens and discounts $50 791.5S-aII per
fectly good anG sound, and on which
cash could have been realized at once.
Now as TO the Commercial National
ard District National banks. The Tri-
bune says the Commercial had cash
an ourtir to S1.10o. 75S. intimating that
Ills bank had this amount Of cash in
its vault, as against S5,59l-60 i'll the
vault of the Munsey Trust Company.
The facts are these: The Commercial
had in its vault on that date cash
reserve of SIS. .536.&.
"The balance of its reserve of Sl.@i9,-
ILL WAS in other banks, as was the
case with The Munsey Trust Company.
THE total deposits of the CONNER
cial on that date were IS. 76S, 1924 Its
cash reserve, therefore. was 29I4 per
