ACTION on RURAL CREDITS.

Tho attitude OF Congress toward
rural credits is as yet nebulous and
unsatisfactory. 1t is true Congress
and all three parties are on record
as favoring some broadening OF the
conditions under which the farmers
OF America can negotiate loans. II
also Is true that there is i'll tho Glass
Owen currency law vague ground
work for extending tho functions of
national banks in tho direction OF
rural credits.
All of these provisions arc tcnta-
tive and lacking in definition. So
far as tho country is informed. none
OF tho committees OF House or Sen
alto have outlined anything resem-
bling coherent program that will
lmatcriali2e the recommendations or
the commission which spent last
summer studying the subject abroad.
Currency reform and the new cur
roncy system will DO incomplete UNI
less accompanied by adequate relief
To the farming population OF this
country.
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson are a
unit In denOuncing tho accumulated
discrimination whereby the business
man in cities finances his enterprises
at low rates, whilc the farmer too
often pays eXtortionatc rates OF in
tercst. Every member OF Congress
must know personally OF tho sore
need for adjusting this condition.
The slightest familiarity with finance
as it Is administered in and toward
the rural districts brings conviction.
Once make 1t possible for tho large
and small farmer To secure credit at
nominal, or even reasonable, rates.
