IF the commissions expectations
are fulfilled" says DR.. Coulter, who
drafted the report, this legislation
will solve n Of the nations greatest
econoimc problems. utilization of it's
agricultural resources, and will be the
real means of reducing the much talk
ed of high cost Of living. 1t will start
a genuine back-to-the-land movement
by making the agricultural industry
attractive. It will transform the great
tenant-farming population into a pro-
prietor-farming population and attract
to the farms hundreds Of thousands of
immigrants who now go into the mines
and factories, by making it easy for
them to acquire lands"
Let Land Pay for Itself.
Figures are cited to snow that the
high cost Of living is due to the fact
that the population of the country in
creased IN the last ten years of record
34.S per cent, while the production Of
foodstuffs increased only 10 per. cent.
Food prices increased so to 80 per
cent. 1t is shown that most of the i'm
migrants coming to this country are
naturally farmers and would go to the
land If the way were made easy. The
plan of this legislation Is to make it
possible for an honest, earnest man to
buy his own farm with a small cash
paymen: and let the land pay for it
self out Of its own production over a
maximum period Of thirty-fve years.
The commission recommends two
general lines Of legislation: First. to
provide for land mortgages or long
time credit; second, to provide per-
sonal, or short time, credit to the agri-
cultural population. 1t is designed to
meet the need of more than half the

VatiOns in detail in their report. They
have patterned after no special coun-
try, but have made use of those feat
ures in all which they believe to be
peculiarly adapted to conditions in the
United States.
According to the presidents annual
message this legislation should be
among the first matters to be consid-
cred by congress-, and it is generally
expected hat it will be the first i'm
pOrtant question to come up now that
congress has r~ecOnVened after the hol-
idays. In anticipation of it the house
banking and currency committee NAM
ed Rep. Robert J. Buckley of Ohio
chairman Of a subcommittee on rural
credits some weeks ago and this sub
committee has been studying the sub
ject. The senate committee on bank
ing and currency, busy up to adjourn
ment with the currency bill, has not
yet considered rural credits. The COM
missions report has been placed, in
confidence, before both committees.
Legislation Thought Assured.
When the currency bill was in the
house 1t was generally understood that
hose members who advocated provi-
sion for rural credits in the bill per-
mitted the bill to pass without this
provision on the assurance tina the
question would be taken up separate
ly without delay. Similarly, in con-
ference, the guaranty of bank deposits
section was omitted from the bill to
its passage, on apparent as
uranC that this matter would come
up as separate legislation promptly
following passage of the currency bill.

Farm Land Banks Advocated.
The first Recommendation is en-
bodied in the national farm land bank
act Wnlch h commission proposes
tor legislation. This provides for the
creatlon OF farm land banks in the
various states to supplement the pro-
VISIONS or the recently enacted cur
rency law, these banks to have federal
charters. be formed either by private
capitalists Or IN the non-prof1t seek
ing cooperative basis and exempt
from taxation. These banks are auth
orlzed to issue bonds as their obliga-
tlons' the proceeds to be loaned to
tarmers on first mortgages which shall
pear higher interest than the bonds,
the dlnerences in interest being the
oanks profit. A commissioner Of
1arm lane banks is provided, to have
general contract as a federal official
n federal fiscal agent to supervise
operations Of these land mortgage
banks. Standard amortization tables
are provided by which farmers shall
pay their mortgages in fixed annual
instalments.
These farm mortgages may run
maximum Of ~thirty-five years and may
be taken by the banks to the amount
or 50 per cent Of the value of i'm
proved land, or to 40 per cent of the
value of unimproved land. The ma
farm land banks are similar to
the Credit Foncier in France, the
peasants and nobility land mortgage
banks of Russia and the state banks

The details of the plans for the

theaters all being thrown open to

Equipment Us. Brains

IF machinery is to supplant the

with qualifications. I believe in
washing machines. fireless cook
ers, electric irons, and dishwash-
ers But I also believe in train
ing the woman to use such equip
ment before IT is put into her
hands.
Those who advocate machinery
to excess seem to lose sight OF the
fact that it takes a very we'll
trained head and hands both to use
even the simplest devices intelli-
gently. How can a worker secure
100 per cent efficiency from
piece of equipment II she herself
is only so per cent efficient?
Those of us with servants have
proved conclusively that the un-
trained worker not only refuses to
use many Of the best labor-savers
on the market when we put 1t into
their hands, but they cannot and
do not intelligently use such ap-
paratus.
One of the most frequent criti-
cisms of the efficiency kitchen and
laundry which I recently equipped
in New York city came from visi-
tors who said, "Oh. that Is fine
device, but you couldn't get maid
to use it, And maids are not

chanics to know how to operate

heart to tell her that she was at fault
and had not mastered the operation
of even SO simple a time and fuel
saver as the fireless.

Gates of electricity. the silent ser

all electric apparatus will do the
most efficient kind of work. simply
by turning on the current. But I
know from experience that such cleo

edge to have the operator get the
best results from them.

that Ear from hurting the business
of the regular exhibitors. the show
ing of the Bible pictures will be the
greater benefit. There is no Use try
ing to disguise the fact that there
are still number Of narrow-minded
people who oppose the moving pic
ture show on general grounds. They
are people who have never seen a
film shown and who oppose II SIM
ply because they know nothing about
il and largely on religious grounds.
The exhibition of pictures of the
Bible stories under the auspices of
an organization made I'D Of ministers
and Bible students, will hnve the ef-
feet of converting large number Of
the people who are fighting the films.
1t will show them thar moving pic
lures have a wonderful educational
value AS well as being one of the
finest forms Of clean, honest amuse-
ment.
The exhibitors who will fight the
Bible pictures will prove themselves
to be even more narrow minded than
the people who are at present fight
ing the motion pictures. It is prob
able that the first week or two Of
the Bible exhibitions will have the
effect of lessening the receipts of the
regular houses slightly, but the gains
that will he made in other directions
will more than offset this loss. Tho
manner in which the Bible students
films will dignity the business is a
benefit that no amount OF money
could bug. II the exhibitors are
wise they will welcome the new ven
ture and do all in their power to
make it successful one. G. M

have told me that the reason that
