THE JEFFERSONIAN
COMPTROLLER GENERAL WILL
LIAMS SAYS NATIONAL
BANKS CREATE
ANARCHISTS.
ANARCHISTS.

Dear Sir: Mr.. w. P. G. Harding
in recent public statement charged
that many National Banks showed
in their sworn statements that they
had made loans far above tue legal
rate Of interest.
Several cases were cited where the
interest charged on certain loans ran
from 33 per cent to as nigh as 12O
per cent.
John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, has recently pub
licly corroborated Mr.. Harding's as
sertions. He asserts that there were
1920 National Banks whose official
reports to the government showed
that the average interest on all the
loans made exceeded 10 per cent
This means 13 per cent. of all the
banks working under federal laws,
under the control Of the national
treasury department and inspected
by national bank examiners, are vio-
lating the usury laws of the states in
which they do business.
Mr.. Williams says: "Three hun
dred per cent. will make anarchists,
silently, faster than all the L. w. w.
apostles can.
When National Banks chartere4 by
the government, disappoint and de-
prive toll of it's just reward, and
stimulate resentment, we have pre-
pared and fortified tie soil for a
fearful disaster. We cannot per-
suade ourselves or make others be-
ieve that it is right or safe for banks
to charge 100 per cent year while
the producing people about them are
kept poor
How about this Mr.. Watson? Do
you know Of single instance in all
history where the privileged classes
have ever relinquished any of their
privileges voluntarily, even though
they knew to persist meant destruc-
ton?
Witness Rome and France. In nv
humble opinion it is these things that
bring revolution and all it's attendant
miseries and suffering.
There are none so blind as those
who will not see,'' and II always re-
qu1res an earthquake or thunderbolt
to wake them
The earthquake" is as inevitable
as that night follows day, if there is
not change, do you not think SO?
1t we, who are being ground to
powder between the millstones MUIR
muir they call us anarchists, so be it,
then. There are a thousand signs
that indicate the rising storm. Those
who could avert the disaster will not,
and those who would are powerless.
What is your opinion?
Yours very respectfully,

ONE FARMERS VIEW OF PRO.
POSED WAREHOUSE PLAN.

Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Col
quit County Farmers Union on the
22nd, a resolution was unanimously
adopted endorsing your position on
that state warehouse system, and
also of the Hon. Grover Edmondson.
1t has the wrong crowd behind it.
We have had enough of their tricks,
and intend to have congress give us
a satisfactory rural credits law or
put this administration out of bust
ness so far as this county is con-
cerned.
We call on all union men of the
state to see to the defeat OF this
scheme of the politicians.
We favor national warehouse
system with genuine financial
system for the benefit Of all pro-
ducers.

London. Jan. 12.-An official dis
patch from the Berlin war office says:
vienna reports state that it has been
ascertained that the French dread
nought Courbet was hit by the Aus
trian submarine No. IL. The Courbet
was rammed by her sister ship, the
Jean Bart. which was attempting to
tow her. The Courbet sank. The
Jean. Bart docked at Malta, badly dam
aged.
"The French pretend that only the
Jean Bart was slightly hurt by a tor
pedo concealing the loss of the Cour-
bet."
The Courbet was of 23,467 tons dis
placement, and was armed with twelve
12-inch guns, twenty-five 5h-inch guns
and four 3-pounders. She was built In
1911 and carried complement Of 99S
men.
This is the first modern French war
ship lost during the w4r.
The cost Of the Courbet was $t2,541,-
$40. and the vessel carried four tor
pedo tubes.
