ment undertake to direct and
finance them, in a restricted
way. Such plan is incompati-
Bile with my views of practical
or proper business methods, and
] believe would prove untenable
and unsound in operation. To
organize such a corporation,
even if legal, would possibly
benefit those in control of its
execution vastly more than it
would the farmer, in the way of
commissions, expenses, etc. AS
| view the situation, the bless
ings of low interest rates and
money on easy terms come only
through conditions such as pre-
vail in European countries men
toned, and which makes it pos
sible for the farmer over there
to secure money OF such favor
able terms. The law of COM
perSation must be needed, and
the law of percentage will in the
end govern. Impossible in the
scheme of finance and business
to get something for nothing.
If we have cheap money, of
necessity and as a prerequisite
thereto we must undergo
and accept conditions positively
indispensable to the plan by
which the privilege is made pos
sible. If the farmers of Europe
enjoy the blessings of cheap
money on easy terms of pay
ment, are they not subjected to
disadvantages, such as poverty,
high tax, circumscribed activi-
ties and low wages, which more
than counterbalance the advan-
tage of low interest? None of
our people would care to eX-
change financial, civic or social
conditions, or the privileges we
enjoy, for those of any country
in Europe, and until we are will
ing to do so we cannot hope to
obtain any of their seeming ad-
vantages in finance.

FRESH NEWS
FROM AFRICA
Southern Baptist Missionary Tells
Of Conditions and Effects Of
War in Dark Continent.

An interesting description of the
way Africa has been effected by the
war is given by E. It. Mclean, Of
the Southern Baptist Convention. He
says:
We are, or were, sandwiched in be-
tween German colonies. Togoland,
with a narrow strip of French terri
tory between. is just to the west Of
us, while Cameroons adjoins Nigeria
on the east. The former has been
taken by the British, and fighting is
still going on in the latter place.
Trade and transportation were par
alyzed for a time and have only par
TALLY recovered, but this affected the
missionaries more than the work. No
money has come to the mission from
the Board since the war began, and
some of the brethren are feeling the
pinch very much. The native workers
are also affected, as they could not be
paid this month When the war broke
out, the government seized all food
supplies, and for time it was diff
cult to get the necessaries of life; but
the situation is easier now.
We in Saki are farther removed
from the influence of the terrible
struggle, and the work goes quietly
ON. A few years ago the people were

Rural Credits
By J.T. Thomas
CONTINUED from last week.

| LOW Interest TdC6S dIlu lOdIS
on long time to the farmer
sounds nice and looks good in
print, and many of the foremost
thinkers of today all politicians
(for the sake of votes), and a
few bankers and business men
advocate or endorse a land loan
scheme of some kind, where the
farmer, as they seem to think,
may be brought from dependence
to independence, not by toll or
through business acumen, as it
should be, but rather by a pro-
cess or through a financial
scheme untried and fear wholly
inapplicable to conditions in this
country.
Even as far back as fifteen
years the farmers of the middle
west found it comparatively easy
to secure needful funds on salts
factory terms at reasonable in
terest rates. And why? Be-
cause their lands were READILY
salable at good values and the
further fact that many farmers
of that section had money to
lend or invest in lands. They
grew to independence by effort,
toll and frugality and under
more adverse conditions than
those which confront the farmer
of today, nor were they given
advantage of a scheme or organ
ization, whereby money on un-
usual long time and at very low
interest rates was available.
Farmers in other sections, more
particularly of the South, will
become even more prosperous
than those of the West, so soon
as they reduce farm acreage
produce more than they con-
sumo, really learn that time is
money!" become systematic and
keep everlastingly at it.
No other business of our
country can show so marked an
improvement, within the past
decade, as that of farming, and,
too, in spite of present rates of
interest. In fact, each year
shows a marked improvement in
farm life over each preceding
year, and our farmers, as do
those engaged in other pursuits,
should be content to progress by
evolution, gradually but surely.
Those loudest in advocating
low rates of interest for the
farmer do not tell us that 81 per
cent. to 4 per cent. is about the
prevailing rate of interest in
those countries where farmers
are favored by low rates, nor
are we told that it is impossible
for the small investor to secure
a better rate than that paid
by the land loan banks of those
countries, otherwise the rate of
interest on farm loans would
command a higher rate, for the
people of Europe are only hui
man after all, and it is because
the small investor does not un-
derstand how to secure a better
rate that farm loans are in de-
mand.
Lands in those countries do
not change owners so easily or
READILY as here, for if a farm is
sold the owner cannot do as we,
step over to his neighbor, go a
little further down the creek or
to Texas, and strike a bargain
for another; nor can the seller
seek another occupation, as we
do here; because, usually, farm
ing is the extent of his business
training, so when one sells his
farm in reality he sells his occupa-
ton. While it is true that the peas
antry of France own a large per
cent of the government bonds of
that country, which pay only 3
per cent. and a per cent, yet
they seldom attempt to rise

cases do they ever break away
from their occupations and as
sociations; while in this country
where all races are amalgamated
and which is the melting pot of
all religions, the son of a shoe
maker, who would have been a
shoemaker in Europe, may be a
bank president, a mernhant or a
politician. Therefore, you cam
not in any way compare the pro-
gressiveness of our people and
especially our farmers with ultra
conservative farmers of Euro
pean countries, where the farm
loan companies thrive,
Admitting that the farmer
should be favored with longtime
loans at law interest rates, from
what source are we to secure
money in order to meet the de-
mand. The banks of the coun-
try cannot supply the necessary
capital to be invested in long
time loans, because their notes
must be in liquid form. mean
by this that loans made by
banks of necessity must be on
short time, so that they may be
called on short notice in order to
care for customary or unusual
withdrawal of deposits. Aside
from this, a rate Of even 6 per
cont. on loans would not sustain
the interior banks of our coun-
try and allow for customary
dividends to stockholders, be-
cause of cost of operation, the
tax alone on capital stock of
banks in some States being
about A per cent, and many in
terror banks pay per cent. on
time deposits, which, in some
cases constitutes about one-third
of the total, so then it would be
impossible for banks to take
stock in or lend assistance to a
land loan scheme, even at a good
rate of interest. If the banks
cannot supply necessary funds
to furthes the scheme, then to
what source may we look for the
capital?
In other words, who will sub
scribe for the stock in farm loan
banks? Not the farmer, for he
has idle money to invest, other
lands, bonds or loans at a better
rate would prove q more attrac-
tive investment; not the mer-
chants, who as a class have no
idle money, and if they do have,
larger stocks of goods or loans
at 8 per cent. would be a much
more attractive investment, not
the professional man, for 6 per
cent. investment would not ap-
peal to him when he can just as
easily secure an 8 per cent. loan;
and surely not the politician, for
real, substantial, honest assis-
tance is the last thing he has to
give to confding and credulous
constituency. | wonder if the
day will ever dawn when the
eyes of the voter will be open,
that he may see and understand
that the political demagogue is
not his friend, but rather plays
upon his political aggrandize-
ment, oftentimes creating with
in his breast a resentment to-
ward his fellowman, wholly fal-
lacious, and infaming his imagi-
nation to a degree which causes
his unrest and largely destroys
his peace of mind, and in a
measure units him to nationally
and discreetly exercise the right
of suffrage.
If the banks, the business men
or the farmers cannot supply the
capital necessary to put into
operation corporation or banks,
whereby loans may be made to
farmers at low rate of interest,
then would it be practical for
our government to attempt to
