EXCESSIVE RATES
CHARGED FARMERS
Expert Tells Credit Committee
New Law is Needed to
Aid Growers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-That the
farmers of the country still are being
"gouged" through excessive interest
despite the new currency system is
the position taken by the department
of agriculture. Its expert Or. {. W.
Thompson, named to investigate the
general conditions now prevailing to-
day told the joint senate and house
rural credits committee that in many
parts of the country the situation is
really serious. Banks, he declared, in
slst on a loan rate and security that
makes it possible for the farmers to
finance improvements.
And to add TO their troubles, he
told the committee, the only way that
the majority can secure loans at all
is through attorneys who add to the
cost by exacting d liberal commission
1t is now certain that as a result Of
it's Investigations, the committee will
ask that congress take up rural cred
its so soon as the preparedness legis-
lation is out of the way.
DR.. Thompson told the committee,
which will hold daily sessions from
now until congress meets that the
conditions complained of were to be
found mostly in the south and the
southwest. He stated that in Okla
homa especially The farmers were
harassed by financial demands which
are greatly interfering with the pros
perity of the states. But there was
room for improvement everywhere, he
insisted. although the rates in the New
England states and in New York are
now comparatively easy.
The Hollis bill, which would pro-
vide for a system Of credits whereby
the farmers could procure loans on
nominal interest and a long time is
very greatly needed in the opinion Of
the expert. He explained the New
York state plan in which the state
grants rural credits and also the va
rious European methods now in
vogue. But he insisted that unless the
federal government backed up plan
it could not be made effective so far
as the agriculturalists who actually
needs relief are concerned.
The committee has determined to
call w. p Harding of the federal re-
serve board, who has had charge of
the sending Of money TO southern
banks to relieve the cotton planters.
and Gov Hamlin Of that board. TO get
their views on a form Of rural credits
that would be best adapted to the gov
ernments present financial system.
