Assembly. One Dealing
With Rural Credits, Read.

Business in the house of delegates
was practically suspended yesterday
and few bills of any Importance were
introduced. The session convened at
IL o'clock and after short prayer,
the chair was vacated for some time

gossiping on the floor Two messages
were received from the governor, the
last two tina; Governor Mann will have
the pleasure of submitting to the pre-
sent general assembly. His first docu-
ed and communications made since the
legislature of 1912, while the other
dealt on rural credit.
The latter message follows:
The establishment of rural credit
banks or rural credit departments to
existing banks Is most important
matter for your consideration. and is
one which In now receiving attention
from the president and congress OF
the United States. 1t is. of course,
impossible at this time to predict just
what form national legislation may
take. Banks for the accommodation
of farmers may be established indie
pendently of State action. or system
may he adopted which will require
legislation by the States, and as the
next general assembly will not con-
vene until January, 1916. action at
this session may be important.
Plan To Aid Farmers.
Whatever may be the action taken
by congress, plan is needed by which
farmers can borrow money for agri-
cultural development on notes and
bonds secured by deeds of trust on
unencum bered real estate. the market
value of which is forty per cent great
err than the amount of the notes and
bonds The plan adopted should be
simple and inexpensive. and must not
add high fixed charges to the interest
charged. There should be limitations
on the uses made or the money bor-
rowed that would confine II strictly to
agricultural development. but some
discretion should be allowed to meet
special and extraordinary cases.
