THE FEATURE OF
STATIONS RACE
His Story for Improvement
of Farm Credits Com
mented On.

Atlanta, June mo feature of
Gov. John M. Slayton's new cam
paign statement in connection
with his candidacy for the United
States senate h occasioned
more widespread comment than
that which deals with the i'm
provement of farm credits.
That the farmers of the coun-
try, particularly in Georgia and
other Southern states, pay more
than any other class of response
BILE people for borrowed money
has long been known.
The plan favored by Gov. Sla-
ton is a system Of mortgage banks
and properly regulated rural
credits. He believes it would go
far toward relieving the situation,
and promises that in the event
the voters of Georgia. send him
to Washington he will vigorously
press all reasonable measures
looking to that end.
The governor defends the tax
act, and declares that he is proud
of his part in that piece Of legis-
lation. I'm sheer desperation
my opponents have tried to dis
credit my advocacy Of it, ~ he de-
clares.
The governor takes the posi-
ton that the tax act is not per-
feet, but that it comes nearer
lifting the burden of taxes from
the poor mans shoulders, where
it has chiefly rested, and placing
it on the backs of those who are
able to stand it, than any legis-
lation recently passed in Georgia.
He calls attention to the fact that
a moderate interval of time must
be given it before the best results
can reasonably be expected.

President Wilson
Recommends Faith Cure
If Manufacturers Would Only Be-
lieve Times Were Good, Then
Business Boom Would Come
With Jump is White
House Belief.

Washington, D. c., June l.
President Wilson today again ex-
pressed his conviction that any
present unsatisfactory condition
in business was not general and
less felt in the United States than
any other part of the world. Mr..
Wilson reiterated this view at the
first conference he has had with
the Washington correspondents
since the Mexican situation be-
came acute. Questions, however,
on that subject and on Niagara
mediation conferences were bar
red.
Blame Railroad.
In reply to inquiries concern
ing the business situation as dis
cussed in his statement last week
to representatives of the Illinois
manufacturers association, the
president said it was his impress
sion that any unsatisfactory con-
dition centered very largely about
the railway offices and that was
reflected in the steel industry and
in other industries closely allied,
which depend especially upon the
railway development for pros
perity. The president referred
to the statement by Chairman
Gary, of the United States out
look in the steel business was
good.
They Need Only Faith.
The president believes that
prosperity would come with a
jump if the manufacturers be-
lieved it was coming. He does
not believe the tariff has any,
thing to do with the depression.
Secretary Redfeld's statistics
showing the decrease of exports
over imports was cited by the
president as proof.
Discussing the Clayton trust
bill, the president said he did not
understand that the act was de-
signed to grant to labor organi-
cations any privileges they do
not now enjoy. 1t is the purpose
of the act. as he understands it,
to define the rights of labor or
CARNATIONS more clearly and re-
move any doubt of their rights
which has been created by vari-
Gus court decisions. 1t is not the
understanding of the president
that labor organizations are to be
given any privileges denied to
other organizations.
