Rural Credits and the Small
Farmer.
FARMER.

NEAR SIR: So much has been said and writ
- ten anent Rural Credits that was adopted
one of the planks on the Democratic platform at
Baltimore; also the Regional banks would aid
the farmer. 1t seems to me that the small farmer
that is, the man who owns a one or two-horse
FARMS the one who needs most help. But as
l have been Informed, he is the very who
can't get it from the banks. This reason is adj
vanced there are certain laws now existing in
Georgia that would make it impossible for bank
to obtain note paper that would secure the
banker from any loss other than a deed to the
property, if the maker of the note should choose
to act dishonesty. l have reference to the bank
ruptcy laws and pony-homestead. Many small
farmer would refuse to deed his property for
loan.
Please give us, the readers of The Jeff, some
light on the subject. The writer is ignorant on
this subject, but picked the foregoing from 9TH
in conversation
Thanking you for any information you may
give, am yours very truly,

THE JEFFERSoNIAN

was doing it IN the interest of the cotton
groager!
Hypocrisy never coined a more shameful
excuse for its own double-face.
Senator Hoke Smith knows that in the
first place, most farmers were forced to sell
their cotton long ago; and, in the second
place, the ships are carrying more cotton to
Europe than ever before.
February broke all the records, and Sen
ator Smith knew it.
The cotton that is going across the ocean
IN such enormous quantities belongs to the
spectators, who bought it at CENTS and
Senator Smith knows it.
The two Senators from Georgia are in part
to blame for the fact that the Government
supplied the spectators with new money to
buy the cotton at cents, after havi2g re-
fused to let the farmers haze the money to
hold It,
The Government ran the machines night
and day, seven days in the week, creating the
new money which the spectators used in
buying the cotton last fall
Because the farmers could not get any of
this new money, they had to sell.
And now, after tens of thousands of hon
est Democrats have been literally ruined by
the Governments discrimination against
them, Senator Smith had the amazing hardi-
hood to say, in substance, that human slavery
must be maintained, at sea, in the interest Of
the farmer
You know what the truth is, as we'll as
[ do:
TAe: two Georgia Senators heeded the
orders they got from the shipping interests
Of S0v0nnah!
Senator Bryan, Of Florida, needed the
same orders, coming to him from Jackson
vile and Tampa.
Senator Bankhead, of Alabama needed the
same orders, coming to him from Mobile
Senator Smith, Of Maryland, needed the
same orders, coming to him from Baltimore
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, needed
the same orders, coming to him from New
York City
These Senators had pleased the shipping
interests By voting against the Presidemts
Ship Purchase biU and they were seeking to
serve the same interests, By voting to keep
aohite men en- szaUery!
Bully for old Vandaman! He has made
the best record, so far Of any Southern Sen
atOr.

If the small farmer can furnish a good en-
dorser on his note, he may borrow from the
local bank at IL per cent, but, as rule, these
loans are for less than months
What the small farmer needs is, equality
with the other citizens who borrow money
from the Government.
The national bankers can get all the money
they want from the Government, at per
cent
In the Regional Bank System, the national
banks get all the money they want from the
Government, practically without paying any
interest at all.
The farmers ought never to vote for an
other Congressman or Senator who does not
pledge himself, publicly, to work, speak and
vote, for Rural Credit System, that will give
the farmer a square deal.
The Government has no right to make the
producers the financial vassals of the nom
producers.
IF our people would elect men to the State
Legislatures who would adopt THE RE-
CALL, you would see mighty change. When
public servant knows that a bad vote in
Congress may cause the people to cote HIM
out, just as they had voted him it. he will be
less apt to betray his constituents.
The Recall would be a sword hung over the
head Of public servants, and they would
dread it.
If we had q Recall zaao in Georgia, the two
Senators would have acted very differently
on the Rural Credits matter
Last year, Senator Smith assured the peo-
ple that the Rural Credits bill was being
rapidly completed"
But, after he was elected, you never heard
of Smith any more In that connection, until
he helped to kill the Rural Credits at the end
of the recent session, and postponed the whole
thing to January 1, 1916.
Suppose Senator Smith had been truthful
and honest with the people, last summer, and
had confessed that he meant to do his utmost
to stave off Rural Credits, do you suppose he
could have been elected?
And if we had had Recall law hanging
over his head, do you suppose he would have
dared to fight against Rural Credits, and to
postpone the whole thing until 1916?
If you good people would just wake up,
and realize that you can have good laws and
equal advantages, they would soon come.
But you must quit voting for party, and
for personalities, and go to voting for prin-
piles and measures
First of all, bring y0u1 influence to bear on
the member of the Legislature from yotr conn.,
ty, to pass Recall law.
GIVE YOURSELF THE POWER TO
DISCHARGE AN UNFAITHFUL PUB
LILO SERVANT.
Could farmer run his business, If he had
no power to discharge his workers. for cause?
Wouldn't a merchant be in helpless fix, If
he could not fire dishonest clerk?
In your public business, the same principle
should be applied.
You must pass law that will empower you
to discharge the public official who neglects
his duties and who works against your in
terests.
Such law is the RecaU T. E. w.

ENDING A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.

Hawaii's striking prosperity is again EN-
phasized in the address of Mr.. j. NJ. Dowsett
retiring president of the Hawaiian Suga
Planters Association, to the association mem
bers assembled today in the thirty fifth annua
meeting.
"a favorable season, heavy yields, gooe
prices and peaceful labor is his summing-ur
of the salient features of the sugar industry
in Hawaii for the past year, and prosperity fol
sugar means prosperity for all Hawaii What
few disadvantages have developed are small
indeed compared to the beneficial factors which
are making it possible for the plantations tc
pay extra dividends and wipe out debts
years past.
President Dowsett does not refer to possibl,
action by Hawaii as concerns the tariff situa
tion but there seems to be almost complete
unanimity among the sugar men that Hawai-
should have no part in any attempt to secure
restoration of the Payne Aldrich duty. Ever
though advices from Washington say there il
fighting chance to get the 1.685 duty, Ha
waii S sugar men do not wish to see the sugar
tariff always in the battedore and shuttlecocE
of politics, as it probably would be were the
higher rate of protection once again imposed
Furthermore, it is foreseen that under the
Payne-Aldrich duty the beet-sugar states
would at once go in for big planting campaigns
and thus the competition between the beet
sugar and cane-sugar interests would become
keener than ever
The annual meeting of the planters is an oc
casion for satisfaction over the results of the
past year, and the printed reports of able ano
industrious committees chronicle some very
interesting advances in methods of cane
planting, cultivation, and milling. The mar
keting of sHawaii's product next year, as has
already been told in the newspapers, will be
very largely through two independent" re
fning companies of the eastern seaboard. Ha
waii expects from the new selling contracts
results which could not be secured through
continuance of relations with the American
Sugar Refining Company.

FRONTAGE TAX in USE in HAWAII

That the frontage tax is no modern

By the establishment of direct steamship
communication Los Angeles is brought about
two days nearer the Hawaiian Islands thar
formerly. Not only has there been a saving
in time but the actual distance in travel has
been shortened more than 500 miles. The lone
detour to and from San Francisco has beer
eliminated by the new direct route which was
opened to passenger and freight traffic last
Saturday.

route between San Francisco, Los Angeles anc

means much to Los Angeles Not only will this
city become the point at which the larger part
of the passengers for the islands will embark
but it affords an opportunity for trade expan-
sion of which our manufacturers and Jobbers
will not be slow to take advantage
