The real fight of the convention
came over the proposition to endorse

him and this nomination was warmly
seconded by Elisha May Of st. Johns
bury, Mayor Burke of Burlington, and

RURAL CREDIT IN THE WEST.
Experiences That Some Farmers Had
In Securing Loans at Local Banks.


The rural credit system Is OF use to
those who need il. IL Is because so
many farmers In the east do not feel
the need OF such system that they
are SO apathetic about II. In some Sec
tons of the west although not every
where. there Is need OF better credits,
and the following instances win prove
the assertion.
When the Bathrick rural credits bill
was read and considered in a grange
in Wyoming some interesting and sug-
gestive experiences We're revealed. One
farmer related that he needed $50 and
went to the local bank to borrow It,
In order to do this he had to mortgage
a team worth $3.50 and also had 10 Sc
cure the signature of "A friend as sure
ty. He had the money seven months
and paid 81 for the use of it,
Another man needed $500 TO COM
plete payment on some dairy cattle
and asked another man to 90 on his
note. The buyer was willing to give
a mortgage on the cattle he was pur-
chasing and also on seven others, but
the bank would not lend $500 on this
security without another signer When
the man who was 10 go as surety came
to the bank he was asked IL he had
500 on deposit in the bank, He SAID
he had not and added, IF | had /
would lend It to my neighbor instead
of letting you make the l2ap and
charge 10 per cent interest on it,
Another young man wanted to secure
an education and could use $3.50. He
offered real estate to the value Of 81
600 as security for the loan, but the
money could not be obtained on any
terms.
Still another farmer had an oppor-
tunity to buy farm at a low price.
He was willing to give mortgage on
the land and on other property to
value of $4,000, but he couldn't bor-
row $4,000 on such security.
1t Is such conditions as these that
the rural credit legislation is to benefit,
and there isn't much doubt but that
1t is pretty badly needed In many
states. When a farmer has to pay 10
per cent for his money he isn't going
to get rich at farming.

WHAT THE WAR TAXES COVER

The South has never been very en-
thusiastic on free trade in its senti
ments. Deep down in their hearts the
southern Democrats have voted for re
duced tariffs in the old-fashionec
slashing way because they felt that
they had to support the northern Dem
ocrats and moreover being producers
instead of manufacturers they did not
think they were going to be hit by
the tariff lessening.
They were hit, however, for what
hurts New England, hurts the South
that grows cotton for New England
and hurts all the section that feed up
to or are fed by New England. Hence
the New Orleans Picayune, always
Democrat and advocating the war
taxes still says in explanation:
at is unfortunate that the United
States should be compelled to levy a
war tax while it is at peace with all
the world; but the close connection
and interrelation of all commercial
nations today was never better illus
trated than in the present case, when
a war between the European nations
demoralizes America, upsets its fnanr
ces and commerce and cuts down its
revenues.
at has been 16 years since we have
provided a war tax, and when we lev
led it before we were actually at war
with Spain, and needed the money for
our naval and military operations.
We need ii today because of finan-
cial deficit, due to commercial paraly-
sis. The present Congress only re-
Gently shaved down the tariff because
it was yielding more than the country
needed and with the further object in
view Of relieving the people from an
oppressive burden. Perhaps in its
zeal Congress cut little too deep, and
allowed a very narrow margin for any
accident or unexpected demand. More
over, although it was pledged to a
policy Of economy il has been eXtrav
agant to the last degree. The result
is the deficiency which il is now pro
posed to make good. II is not large.
certainly not over one hundred mil
lion dollars, and ii Is merely temper
airy"
II Is easy enough to read between
the lines here. an admission that there
would very likely have been a deficit 1
even il there had been no war.-Re- /

GRANGE ELECTIONS.
Annual Meetings May Be Held In Mo-
vember Instead OF December.

At the last session of the national
grange at Manchester. y. H., the di
4 gest was amended in reference to an
! nuaI meetings of subordinate oranges
! The state masters were then required
| to submit this amendment to the va
rious state oranges for acceptance or
rejection. This amendment to the ma
! tional grange constitution provides that
the annual election of officers in subor-
dinate oranges may be held in Novem-
Der instead of December if the state
grange so elects. In order to become
effective this amendment had to be
ratified by two-thirds of the state
oranges. Twenty-Five of the state
oranges voted in favor of the change,
one voted against it, and the others
did not take the matter up. The vote
Of twenty-five of the state oranges
was more than the necessary two
thirds and on April 30 National Mas
ter Wilson issued proclamation an
nouncing the change.
This change is optional, no state hav-
ing to change unless ii so desires.
Printed slips with the amendment will
be issued from the secretary's Office,
and the masters should paste these in
the digest. We believe November is a
better month for the grange election
than December, says writer in an ex-
change. first, because the weather will
be more favorable for large attend
ance, and, second, the edrlier date will
give the subordinate secretaries more
time to make their reports to the state
secretaries, and the rosters will come
out nearer the first Of the year and
more complete. A glance over
grange roster generally shows quite
a number of oranges that have failed
to get their election report into the
state secretary's hands in time to get
into the roster and hence they are left
blank. This leaves these oranges off
the mailing list for some time, and bull
letins, trade circulars, official commu-
etc, are cut off from them,
and the oranges work Is crippled The
time for installing the officers remains
the same
