a BIT OF INTERESTING PoLlri.
A CAL HISTORY.

Hon. JEFF McLemore. Houston, Texas.
My Dear Friend-ln the first col
nm OF page six OF the last issue OF
State Topics. you print a quotation
from the Waco Times-H Herald with
reference to Presidents and Presi.
dents" In which Editor Robinson is
represented as saying that Andrew
johnson became Senator after ne
had been the President" Although
that statement is accurate enough for.
general purposes. II Is not exactly
accurate and. therefore. not sufh.
ciently accurate for a Democrat like
you. Andrew Johnson never became
"A Senator after he had been the
President" II Is true that after
serving as President for the unex'
pired part OF Mr.. Lineoln's second
term. Johnson was elected a Senator
from Tennessee. but he did not live
TO take the oath Of office as Senator
from that State. and. therefore. never
became a Senator after being Presi.
dent" Very truly your friend.
J. W. BAILEY.

Having access to the records. We
take II that Senator Bailey speaks
advisedly. We must admit. however,
that We were under the impression
that Andrew Johnson had not only
taken his seat rs United States
Senator from Tennessee. hut had de.
livered at least one speech from the
floor OF the Senate. In which he ex.
coriated President Grant and the
policy Of the Republican administra.
ton towards the South. He may have
done this in a newspaper interview
given out prior 10 taking his seat as
Senator; but he said something for,

heard our father. In commenting on
Johnson's excoriation OF Grant and
the Administrations policy toward

loans on farm lands.
During the many years building
and loan associations have been OPP
Grating In the larger towns, they
have enabled thousands OF lahoring
men to acquire homes. Now II Is
pror-fd to enable people TO buy
farms through such associations.
The new law will be OF special
benefit to farm renters" said the
Bank Commissioner In the past,
the renter has been greatly handI-
capped In acquiring u farm OF his
own. Farm mortgage companies have
had u rule to loan only 50 per cent
on land. Some OF them even fixed
the limit az 40 per cent.
AS a result, renter would have
to accumulate enough to pay for half
the farm before he could buy Il. That
meant long. tedious drag for him.
Under the new law. an association
can help him acquire a farm for about
the same amount OF ready cash that
is required 60 buy good home In a
city. In other words. II he wants n
small farm. he win only have TO I'D.
vance from $500 to 81 900. The larger
the farm. the more advance money
he must put up, Just as buying a
house In town. The integrity and
industry OF the renter will be taken
into consideration in making the
loan"
Many retired farmers are planning
10 invest their money In such asso-
Citations. II promises good returns
and the investment IL regarded as alb,
solutely safe. The system also viii
enable the retired farmers to dis
pose OF their farms to their tenants.
Another law, which II Il Is declared
constitutional. will help the retired
farmers and their tenants In this re-
spect, is the mortgage registration
law.
II thas been attacked in the courts
and may be knocked out on the
ground that II violates that section
OF the constitution which provides
that all property shall be assessed
equally.
During the last eight months. Kan
sas farm loans have been hard TO
place. The same condition. however.
has applied TO other Central Western
States.
The big insurance companies Of
the East abandoned the Western farm
mortgage field about the time the
European war broke out. Some o.
them have come back and still others
promise To return shortly, but their
withdrawal from the field pinohed the
farmers, and so the latter looked
around for other avenues Of relief.
one was the rural loan law and an
other the mortgage registration law.

/ that much good will come out OF the
new legislation

came out of the brush and attempt
ed to enter the tent. The women

jaws were covered with froth and II
was swapping everything with which
it came in contact.-Elko Free Press.
