WAR LOANS-FARMERS.

Governor Ferguson of Texas, ad-
dressing the National Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents, expressed
alarm over the European war loans.
He reminded his hearers that Amer
ican financial interests are said to
have loaned the nations of Europe a
billion dollars in the past year, and
that another billion will probably be
loaned in the next twelve months.
He sees in this a grave misfortune
to the country. "Think!" he says.
"This $4,000, 100000 would make a
loan of $500 to every tenant farmer
in the United States start him on the
road to ownership" The money, in
stead of going abroad ought to be
kept at home and lent to the Amer
lean farmer.
The Texas governors intentions
are good but he is obviously mis-
taken about the real situation. The
"billion dollars" supposed to have
been loaned to- Europe don't repre-
sent money taken out of the country.
We have sent no money to Europe.
All the loans made have been "credit
loans." They, fulfill function in
international trade whereby the Unit
ed States extends it's foreign GUS
toners longer credit than usual, and
our financial institutions assume the
responsibility of collecting the &C
counts later on.
Meanwhile these same financial in
stitutions pay to the American pro-
ducer the hard cash represented by
those loans. The American farmer,
like the American manufacturer, &C.
tually gets his money. And having
more cash than he's had in long
time, as result of two great and
readily marketable crops, the farmer
with the exception of the southern
cotton planter-is in better financial
shape than usual.
Besides, the farmers haven't much
difficulty in borrowing money from
the very institutions whose represen-
tatives the governor was addressing.
For the life insurance companies of
America, with nearly $5,O0O,0OO,OO0
of assets, have already lent two
thirds of a billion dollars to farm
ers, and hold today more farm mort
cages than all the banks in the coun-
try put together.
It is highly desirable that there
should be established a rural credit
system whereby farmers can borrow
money still more readily, and on
easier terms. But as far as these
war, loans are concerned, it should
be recognized that they have helped
the farmer instead of hurting him.

MEETING HELD MONDAY night
Developed That Members Are oppos.

At the meeting of the EIks, which
was held in their club rooms Monday
evening, the building committee was
given another week in which to make
report and state their recommenda.
tions.
The meeting was largely attended
by the members. The discussion took
the form of round table affair, in
which every man got up and spoke
his sentiments upon the question OF
selling the present building or repair.
ing it.
The meeting developed one very
important fact, that the members of
the Elks are opposed to going off OF
West Seventh street There has
been some talk of buying lot on
South High street and building a
club house there, but this did not
meet with much favor. In fact, it
seemed to be the prevailing opinion,
according to one who was there, that
the rooms should not be any further
from the center of the city than they
are now.
AS for the offer of the $4,000,
which was said to have been made
by a Nashville business man for the
present building, it was pointed out
by several of the members that that
amount was not enough, for the house
and it's contents cost tidy sum in
excess of that They held that its To-
cation, it's convenience, and the sub
stantial repair of the building made
it worth more than 10000
According to one of the most influ-
entail members of the club it seems
probable that the building committee
will simply recommend that the pres
ent home be substantially improved
and it's size and capacity be consider
ably increased. They are loath to
leave the present location which is
all that could be asked, and one to
which the members have become
very much attached.
