WILSON'S POLICIES AND PROSPERITY
That President Wilson can make Of the pres
ent prosperity Of America exactly he wishes is
to be deducted from the fact that the present con
gress, both House and Senate, is absolutely il
his power, and subject to his dictation. His posi-
ton with the lawmakers is only reflection of the
strong hold he possesses in the good wishes and
admiration of the people, making easily possible
his power to make the destinies of Amerl-
ca during the remaining years of his lncunbency,
and succeeding to another election to the presl-
dency, the years of the future. The people have
learned already to place confidence in his doml-
nant intellect,a AN intellect so guided by strong
will that the national lawmakers regard its pos
SCISSOR as leader, and gracefully submit to the
portions of subordinates.
The session of congress just convened prom
Uses to be one of the most interesting held in re-
cent years While no single issue will be of suf-
fcient importance to overshadow all other issues,
as was noticeable in the national legislative body
during the past session. yet many questions of per
thence to the country's welfare will undoubtedly
be decided during the coming weeks; Wilson,
view of these questions is now absorbing the at
tention of the people, who realize that his view
will be embodied into law. Undoubtedly one OF
the leading intentions of Wilson for the present
session is that congress pass bill affecting the
rural credits of the country. And without doubt
signed to alleviate conditions concerning the ex-
tension of credit to aricuturists, his popularity
with the people will be greatly strengthened. AL
told, it is probable that condition OF America
today is of more Importance to the lasting proper
ity of the whole country than is the question OF
rural credits. Acting on the advlces of the com
mission sent abroad some months since to review
the rural credit systems of the leading countries
of Europe the President will surely urge upon

At present the farmers of America entirely toe

cure remedial loans; to countless farmers have
come periods in their attempts to develop then
properties when a loan, and one that could have
been made with Justice to both borrower and lend
err would have meant the success OF the borrower
and, ultimately, the success OF the community as
a whole Real estate, under our present system
of national banking, is not to be accepted as Sc
clritv for loans; this should be changed, for all
countries have experienced the fact that this
security is the most stable possible. The poll

of the Soils knowing that the country depends
upon this development, and in their efforts to as
sst the farmers consider of the primest importance
the ability of the farmer to secure money at very
low rates. 1t is proven that the present wonder
full prosperity of France is to be attributed, to a
large extent, to the system by means OF which
money can be safely loaned upon real estate, and
at very reasonable terms.
Prominent among the measures which Will
son will advocate will be the administrators att
tude toward trusts. While many of the most IN
telligent financial and industrial leaders OF the
country are dubious respecting the ability OF VIII
son to properly consider this delicate question:
yet no one doubts his thorough desire to deal, IN
the utmost fairness, with every class of the coun-
try and only fear that his desire of accomplish
ment may cause hasty action. While the country
now appears to be to some extent depressed by
the recent enactment into law OF Wilson's cur
rncy and tariff IDEAS yet the balance OF trade is
TODAY strongly in favor of America, and cond1-
tons are rapidly adjusting themselves to the nor
NAL this inspiring trust and confidence IN WI
sons ability to properly conserve the country
interests in respect to the legislation OF the coming
weeks.
