Some Reasons for the Delay.

MANY representatives of all parties,
and the farmers generally, expected
this promise to be fulfilled, but farm
credit was cut out of the program at
the last moment and the committee on
banking and credit ceased to work on
the bill. We had hoped it would be
taken up this session and pushed to
finish, but the President, in his mes
sage says: 1T cannot be perfected now
I'VE have made investigation of the
reason why this may be true.
First, the President objects to the
government aid feature of the Bulkley
Hollis bill.
Second, part of the members of
Congress seem to desire to nave
summer to themselves, and want the
session to end March 4.
Third, there is strong element OF
influence of various money-lending IN
terests which are fearful that interest
rates may be generally lowered and
their profits curtailed.

Other Bills Call for Millions.

An appropriation of S35,000,o00 was
maze to develop Alaska mines and
farms All of our farmers will he taxed
to pay this.
A ship-purchase bill would call for
more millions. The farmers as we'll as
other taxpayers will go down in their
pockets to pay this
Inc government, to meet an emer-
gehcy, has gone into the marine in
surance business. Any loss which may
occur would call for the farmer to paw
his share.
Government money is available for
the bankers to loan at a profit. Gov
erhment money, in part, comes from
taxes paid by the farmer But cheap
money to the bankers still means high
cost money to the farmers. While the
new federal reserve bank act empowers
national banks to loan on farm mort
cages, the conditions are still such that
it is more profitable for the banks not
to loan on mortg cages, and little if any
relief Will follow from this law To say
that the federal reserve bank act consti-
tutes a remedy in lieu of a proper farm
credit law is veriest nonsense, and
Will not fool the farmers. 1t was not
considered a proper remedy by any one
at the time the banking law was made.
The advocates of farm credit then We're
put off with promise that if they
would keep it out of that bill they

PRESIDENT is CRITICISED
BY THE NATIONAL GRANGE
Committee Issues Statement Urging
Speedy Action on Rural
Credits Bill.

Urging that Congress enact speedy
rural credits legislation, the legisla-

to day gave out a statement criticising
the administration for giving the right
of way to other legislation not SO vital
as the rural credits bill. President
Wilson in his address at the opening of
the session of Congress said that rural
credits legislation would be allowed to
go over until next winter.

Farmers Not Satisfied.

The farmers of this country are not
