COMPROMISE ON RURAL
CREDIT PLAN EXPECTED


Senator Fletcher Of Florida. chair
man Of the national rural credits COM
mission, expresses himself as hopeful
that q compromise on rural credit
system may be reached soon by the
Joint commission Of both houses OF
congress appointed just before ad-
1ournment. The point Of dispute be-
tween the two wings has been over
the question of government aid.
The compromise plan, a. Senator
Fletcher explains 1t. provides one
bank in each state with capital
stock Of 100000 each to care for the
rural credits. Under the Hollis
Buckley plan 1t was proposed that
there should be one bank in each fed
eral reserve district. In the compro-
mise plan the proposed system Is not
connected in any way with the federal
reserve, but has q separate board with
supervisory power.
The only difference. 1t will be seen,
between the two plans is one OF geo.
graphical distribution Of the banks
and the extent Of government aid. the
national rural credits commission
plan provided for no financial assist
ance from the government. merely
permitting farmers in each state 10
organize land banks for making long
mortgage loans ON farm lands. ON
these loans the farmers would have
to nay not only the interest each year.
or such shorter terms az might De
agreed on, but a small part OF the
principal, so that the entire loan
would be paid of. after the same plan
used by a building association. IN a
given number Of years.
Senator Fletcher says that the pres
.ident has expressed his disapproval OF
direct government aid but that he
might not disapprove of the proposal
for the government to subscribe to
part of the stock Of rural banks.

Secretary's Big Gain in Fees
Derived by State-BrOwn
County Pays $182; Re-
ceiTcs S2064.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-Along
with the semi-annual apportionment of
the county road fund, disbursed by
Secretary of State Homer L. Cook
from money received through the reg
istration OF motor vehicles for the six
months ending June 80, the expense
of this branch of Secretary Cooks Of
flee is of more than passing interest.
For the same period in 1914 there
were registered $4,000 motor vehicles.
In 1915 there were $1,000. The num-
Der of plates purchased in 1914 was
$1,000. In 1915 there were $4,000. This
accounts for the difference in the to-
tai. The postage this year covers the
difference in number of licenses. and
increase from 1914 when there we're
$4,000, and 1915 when there were ST.
500 in six months. Many of these
plates go by parcel post with the Ii
censes.
Fees Exceed 1881 1878.
The license fees received for the
first six months of 1914 we're $751;
$3.50. For 1915 there was paid in
$685., 29307 The increase in receipts
is $156,41797.
The net amount for 1915 distribution
to the counties for road purposes is
$50O.327.79. The law governing the
apportionment of this special fund has
taken into consideration the keeping
up Of good roads all over the state.
To this end the number of miles of
road in any county goes largely into
the calculation Of the proposition of
the fund which shall be given in that
particular county. To illustrate,
Marion county in this six months paid
into this road fund $5S,524. In the
apportionment Marion county draws
out only s22.642.26.
The other $35.sS1.74 goes to other
counties for road purposes. Brown
county, for instance, paid only 1882
into the fund and drew out $2,064.37.
Crawford pays in 1921 and draws
$2,219.23. To keep up the roads in
Brown and Crawford counties benefits
Marion and all other counties. To
keep up the roads of all the counties
benefits the whole state, just as the
keepeing up of the state roads bene-
fits the nation-hence the federal de-
partment which builds roads.

GERMAN DIVISION WITH PRISONERS

battled with two full Russian army
corps. The divisions had been cut Oh
and they we're compelled not only to
fight their way out, but also to drag
along $4,000 prisoners and 81 guns
captured from the enemy.
The fire OF the Russian artillery was
terribly effective and immense infan-
try forces OF the enemy pressed in
from all Sides Fighting day and night
against greatly superior numbers one
of the German divisions with the
Russian prisoners gained the hill and
quickly fortified It,
Again and again the Russians tried
to storm the height, while their ar
tillery necessarily rained shells OF all
sizes on it, but the Germans repealed
all attacks For Ave days they held
the hill till relief came and the Rus
sian line was broken a few miles
further south. Then the enemy began
to retreat along the whole front.
The gallant division had not lost
one of the prisoners and at once start
ed in pursuit of the fleeing enemy,
but the victory was won at an awful
cost. Thousands of dead covered the
slopes and the top of the hill Here
the heroes have found their last rest
ing place and their comrades planted
hundreds of trees around and between
their graves. Later a monument will
be erected in the forest that is to
cover the hill.
