would be linked up with the agricul-
tural interest and all work together
for common advancement and profit.
The banks having rural credits de-
partments could not expect mush d.
rect benefit from their maintenance.
but would share In the prosperity
which these departments created.
Principal Dimculty.
THE principal difficulty in the way
Of rural credit banks or rural credit
departments to existing banks Is how
to secure the necessary money at
low rate of interest. In some States
where large sums OF money are idle
and seeking investment the exemption
of the class Of paper we are con-
siderinE from STATE and local taxation
would solve the problem. but in Vir-
ginia where business is active and
money Is demand wo might be dis
appointed IL this source OF supply
should be relied on.
at may be, however. that congress
will permit rural credit banks to OBJ
tain money on tho notes and bonds
Of farmers secured by real estate
valued ut 20 per cent more than the
through which or through whose
rural credit departments they are to
reach the farmers, thus permitting
the 40 per cent in land to take the
place Of the 40 per cent OF gold re-
serve required OF other institutions.
As real estate Ii steadily increasing In
value In every State IN the union. 1t
seems to me that the security offered
would be fully as good. II not better.
than that required OF other banks
Makes Recommendation.
T.
mend that the State corporation be
clothed with power to charter rural
credit banks or rural credit depart
ments to existing banks and that It
have power and discretion to give TO
| these banks or departments such
| powers and put upon them under such
| limitations as will enable them either
| to act as State institu tons or to come
under the provisions Of any act Of con-
gress which may be passed before the
| next meeting Of the general assembly.
ut will. OF course, bs noticed that

AZ the most economical plan Of deal

With his voice choked with emotion
and tears cleaning in his eyes, the
governor declared that It was difficult
to really express his feelings to the
representatives of the people who had
10 honored him. He spoke Of the re-
lations that had existed between him
self and the two branches of the gen

ed the mist from before many eyes.
He spoke on the condition OF the
State. declaring that it was now better
of than ever before in Its history, and
thanked the general assembly for ths

duties that Mad been theirs. He said
that In all Of his time In public offics

Of carrying one Of the finest lines of

nothing" Mr.. Lenroot recently de-
clared. 1.-THE extent to which 1t has
been carried, in my judgment Is hurt
full to the suffrage cause rather than
helpful. The demonstrations in the
city Of Washington, in my judgment,
have no influence upon the average
member of congress.
'There are but two ways in which
the average member can be reached.
One through his intellect, to convince
him that the welfare of the people will
be better subserved by the possession
of the ballot by women, or, at the very
least, will not be injured, and that
women are as much entitled to the
ballot as are men.
"If he cannot be reached in this way,
the only other influence that I know
of that can be made effectual Is to go
back and educate the voters of his
district not by denunciation of the
man, but by converting the voters
themselves to the cause of woman suf-
frage. II the average member believes
that the voters who elected him desire
women's suffrage, he will very rapidly,
as rule, become a suffragist himself
81 think suffragists would make more
rapid progress If they would realize
that the question of women's suffrage
should be treated as any other ques-
ton of public policy is treated, and that
to make progress there must be sem
timent built up throughout the country
for the policy desired. Men interested
in a given policy would not advance
that policy by repeated marchings up
and down Pennsylvania avenue.
"As one who has voted for women's
suffrage in my own state, I very much
regret to see any policy inaugurated
that may lead to the adoption of the
tactics Of the militant suffragists of
England. To adopt such tactics in this
country would destroy, in my judg
ment, all that has been accomplished
during the last 10 years, and so long as
1t existed there would be no progress
whatever made along the line of OBJ
tanning the ballot to women"
The charge of promoting militancy
brought against the Congressional
Union has been given color by the
fact that Miss Paul and Miss Burns
participated in the English campaign,
were imprisoned, and later released be-
cause of their persistence in hunger
strike"
Miss Paul and Miss Burns. however
vigorously deny they are endeavoring
to introduce militant methods. They
contend that the only way to make
progress towards votes for women is
to keep the subject constantly before
congress and ever at the doorway of
the party in power.

KOELSCH MAKES
POSITION CLEAR
If Elected He Will Stand on
Platform on Prohibition
Issue.

sowing to some discussion that has
arisen relative to the matter, I wish
you would state that If am nominated
as a candidate for the legislature by
the Boise business men whose commit
tee awaited upon me, and If am elect
ed shall stand firmly upon the Repub-
lican platform on the wet and dry issue
as well as upon other issues" stated
Charles F. Koelsch, one of those nom
mated by the meeting held Thursday
night.
And by that, wish It understood
that If elected will vote for the sub
mission of a statewide constitutional
amendment, and If the necessary two
thirds of both houses cannot be secured
for the submission of such an amend
ment, will work and vote for state
wide prohibition by statutory enact
ment."
Would you mind stating what you
would do In case the constitutional
amendment is submitted, whether you
would then vote to establish a home
rule pending the vote of the people
upon the amendment" Mr.. Koelsch
was asked.
mo, I would not. do not believe in
home rule at all under any circum-
stances. l think such law would be
worse even than prohibition. If the
constitutional amendment is submitted
or If neither the constitutional amend
ment is submitted nor prohibition by
statutory enactment is adopted, shall
favor leaving the liquor laws just ae
they now stand.
On all other matters, shall go to
the legislature, absolutely unpledged
and free to act in accordance with my
own judgment. I would not go other
wise and I am unwilling to go at al
with the aid of votes cast for me under
any Misrepresentation wish to make
my position clear so that there can be
no misunderstanding on the part oil
anybody"
