Repre- Sherwood Pays
 Glorious Tribute to Race Horse

The Congressional Record cout'irs a glowing appreciation of the Ameri- can horse by Representative Isaac R. Sherwood. of Toledo, Ohio. one of the best judges or blooded stock in the country and who about eight years ago, at the age of Fl years. made a worlds record driving a pair of his own horses around one of the North western Ohio tracl-
 The generals remarks were apropOs of an item in the agricultural appro- priation bill carrying a liberal sum of money for horse breeding and expert ments in live stock production. an appropriation which was made in de fiance of a declaration by the Ameri- can Saddle Horse Breeders Associa- ton in April, 1914. to the effect that such experimentation "is an unwar- ranted and unjustifiable interference with private enterprise.'
 General Sherwood deprecates the legislation by various states that has resulted in restricting horse racing, and asserts that such legislation is tending to ruin scientific horse breed ing in the United States All his life he has devoted considerable atten- ton to horse breeding and racing and at one time edited a publication de- voted 10 the subject The general himself does not bet on races but does not regard betting as sufficiently an evil 10 justify muca of the adverse legislation that has been enacted. To days Record quotes him as follows:
 "How is it possible to promote scientific horse breeding by the United States government in the pres ence Of 90 much hostile legislation by the states 10 wipe out horse racing or horse culture? Speed horses of high quality commanded very remuneratiye prices when breeders were allowed to race their products in the grand cir cult
 There were plenty of ready home buyers at the end of the grand circuit for tried and educated horses of speed, manners and quality, and buy CTS from Russia, Austria London. Paris and nearly all the leading capl- tals of Europe.
 Millions of good gold dollars were brought into the United States by for eign buyers. prices ranging for stall lions of fashionable breeding and ex- treme speed rom s25 .000 to s750O0. All the stock farms were prosperous, and there was neither a demand nor an excuse for government patronage or government aid until the hypocriti- cal blatAerers, masqueradng as re- formers, started on their destructive work.
 q am not here to criticise the et- forts of the government to promote scientific horse breeding, but to call attention to the notoriously unfor- innate fact that nearly all the states north of the Ohio river have enacted hostile legislation to diseredit and 1s-actically ruin scientific horse breed ing. This has been done largely ny legislation against pool selling on race ! tracks.

This legislation has also ruined the county fairs which for half a century have afforded SO much wholesome er- ioyment to the boys and girls of tae farms

 And We are now gambling three times as much on these games a. we ever did in the very heydey of horse racing.

Objectionable to one not schooled
in business routine. The plan
would avoid the enormous ex-
pense of organizing and equip
ping land loan banks, as well as
the great expense necessary to
operate them. By this plan
there could hardly be chance
of loss to the regional reserve
bank, as the original loan would
not be more than 80 per cent. of
value of land and the response
bility of the bank making the
loan weuld be ample, since it
keould only discount four times
its responsibility in capital, to
say nothing of surplus. While
difference in rate charged 6 per
cent. and that paid 5 per cent.
Ct presume both would lessen
in time) would not give much
profit to the county bank, yet
advantages would accrue indi-
rectly, as all well-informed
banks understand.
1t is my opinion that before
any great demand could be made
upon regional banks, loans of
this class would be in demand
by investors, such as life insur-
ance companies, saving banks
and individuals, and at no time
would the demand become a
burden to reserve banks.
| am firmly convinced that
this plan is practical and feas-
ible, and all that is necessary to
put in operation is an amend
ment to our federal reserve
banking law. Banks are al
ready organized all over the
country and no time would be
consumed in putting the law in
to operation, nor would the ex-
pertinent be of any cost.
|
Ia Our farmers should rather re-
sent the suggestion that they
are charges upon our national or
state governments to the ex-
tent that they should be given
advantages over others who may
be equally deserving.
They have the right to ask,
indeed, to demand favors of
their local banks, if members of
federal reserve system, loans in
due course of business of the re-
serve association. Only in this
way can a rural credit system
be established without expert
ment, great cost and attendant
risk.
Our farmers must win by ef-
fort, and, by indomitable. de-
termination, take their chances
and opportunities as others do
and as many Of them are doing
every day. Only in this way
we'll they be justified or can
they be made proud of their
achievements. Let the law Of
thrift and competition have a
chance and it will regulate and
minimize apparent evils sooner
and more effectually than will
an unwise law upon our statute
books. = Grenada Sentinel.

/ Regional reserve banks are
authorized by law to lend coun-
try banks, who are stockholders,
upon notes secured by a certain
class or kind of collateral.
Amend the law and provide
that all country banks who are
stockholders of a regional re-
serve bank may borrow of it
and hypothecate real estate
loans as collateral at face value,
provided such real estate loans
shall be made at not more than
I6 per cent. interest. The
amendment should be read
about this way: Country banks
may lend of their funds in an
amount equal to the total of
four times their capital Gf local
demand be greater, local bank
could increase capitaD upon the
security of farm land, used and
operated for farm purposes and
located in the county of the
domicile of the bank making the
loan (this restriction would in
lsure that loans would come
through banks having some
knowledge of the land offered as
security. Such loans to be Sc
cured by first mortgage on not
less than twenty acres of farm
land; at least twenty acres shall
be in cultivation, and provided
the owner shall reside thereon
during the life of the loan. No
loan to be made for a less sum
than $4,000 nor for more than
10 per cent. of the capital stock
of the bank making same, and
not to exceed so per cent. of a
fair value of land accepted as
security; may run for a period
not to exceed ten years and bear
a rate of not more than 6 per
cent. (of course, this would not
restrict all real estate loans to 6
per cent, but such as would
bear a greater rate would not be
subject to rediscount as herein
provided). The principal to be

en- by any bank (member of

gregate the sum of $5, 100000,
such bank shall have the right
to hypothecate the same with
the regional bank and borrow
therefrom the face value there
! of at rate not to exceed 5 per
cent. Such loans shall be made
in sums of not less than five
thousand dollars, or multiples
thereof, and the sum of the
total shall not exceed four times
the capital stock of any stock

count (if this is not sufficient to
