UsURIoUs INTEREST RATES

II Is almost certain that the present
legislature will pass a usury law more
stringent than the one on the statutes.
The legislature is attempting to pun
ish the class of bankers who have
made pawn shops of their institutions
and are trying to make the credit
good of the man who has failed to
build up his own credit. 1t is doubt
full if either result can be accom-.
plished by legislation.
Whenever loans must be made at
ten per cent or not made at all, there
will be many fellows who have been
borrowing small sums each year who
will be denied credit The result will
bring a hardship for the time being,
and it may eventually force some OF
the small farmers who have not the
ability to build up a credit to quit
farming on their own account and
to work on the plantation of the man
who has the ability to borrow money
and to direct labor so that it will earn
more than when it is not directed.
Such a law may produce a whole
some effect in doing away with some
of the credit that has been INDUCED
in in this country and again it may
do some good in forcing men to be
careful about their credit. The aver
age loan of the small farmer is $500
a year. Interest on that loan would
be $40 The banker cannot, for this
amount of interest go to inspect a
crop or live stock, he cannot send
collectors out, and make money on
loans of that, kind. The result will
be that the farmer will have to build
his own credit up to the point where
the money lender will take his word
about live stock and crop acreage
and condition.
Bankers who have gone before the
legislature have advised that money
can be cheapened by the removal Of
taxes, but the legislature will probably
not do that The same argument
might be made in reference to land,
that rents would be cheaper if taxa
tion We're removed.
It is doubtful if the question of
usury can he solved by law. 1t is
a problem that must be solved, each
man for himself.
The federal government started the
inquiry through the comptroller of
the currency. When statements were
requested of banks, the minimum and
maximum rates of interest were ask
ed and the answers to these questions
revealed the facts that some of the
loans had been made at as high an
annual interest rate as 800 per cent.
The government then set out to make
further inquiry and to correct the
evil, and this gave much publicity to
usurious interest rates.
The business of raising food and
clothing for the world is too sacred
to allow men who engage in that
business TO be kept so poor that they
can scarcely live themselves and the
government which started the in
Quiry has the remedy in a rural
credit plan which makes the govern
ment itself the basis of credit for agri- |
cultural purposes. In our opinion, |
until such a plan is worked out in
detail. agriculture will not have an
to ascend to the promi- |

BARROONS MUST
 60 IS OPINION
 OF BREWERYMEN
Action Will Put a Stop to Prohibition Wave
 Which Is Sweeping
 the United States

CHICAGO, Dec IS. Reduce the volume of alcohol in beer to per cent SO as to make it a temperance drink is the proposal of the leading brewers of the country as a means of checking tEe prohibition wave which threatens to sweep away the great brewing industry.
 The brewers also join the ranks of those who are fighting to do away with the barroom They propose, in place of the saloon, place re- sembling a restaurant, into which women will not be ashamed to en- ter.
 The opinions of the brews were gathered by the American Brewersil Review The concensus shows that the brewers want to bring about these changes:
 Elimination of the bar
 Keep rinking places open to view from the street and do away with all secrecy
 Win for places where beer is sold | such a character that man will not hesitate to take his wife into them
 Convince the public of the error of the idea that beer is strong drink.
 Separate the sale O. beer from the sale of whiskey
 Have the brewing industry aid in the rigid enforcement of all laws relating to the sale of liquors.
 New issGes and new leadership for the brewing industry.
 Some of the brewers were in fla vor of only 2 per cent of alcohol in beer. but a majority seemed to prefer 8 per cent as the maximum. At present light beers average about 61k per cent. alcohol and ale and porter about per cent

BOSTON. Dec. 1S.-At the regu.
 lar municipal election tomorrow, Bos.
 ton will take its customary vote on
 the liquor license question. The is-
 sue this year has aroused more than
 ordinary interest among the voters.
 Saloon and anti-s9loon forces are lining up for what is expected to
 be the closest contest the city has ever had to make the city dry"
 The prohibitionists are counting upon the influence Of Billy" Sun. day to help their cause in no small degree. During the p2st week the evangelist has launched broadside at tacks against the rum evil" and his nightly discourses have attracted i'm. mense crowds to the tabernacle To what extent this will influence the voters is problematical, but there is mo disputing the fact that it has put the liquor interests on the defensive and they are working to carry the election as they never have worked before
 Annually at the city election the voters of Boston passed upon the Ii. censed saloon question, and for ten years they have been registering a smaller yes" majority. At the cleo. ton last year the majority fell to 14,23S from S1.5O6 at the preceding election. At the election tomorrow the anti-liquor organizations hope to swing Boston into the dry column, where so many cities of Massachu- setts have already preceded it.
 The Anti-Saloon League officials are calling attention to the fact that on the basis Of last years license majorities change of 7,12O votes from "yes" to mo" will make Bos. ton dry The object of the league Is to win a substantial mo" majority by changing not 7.12O votes only, but rather 10000 or more. Street rallies for no license are being held nightly in all quarters of the city and it is planned to keep up the wig orous campaign against the saloon until election day
 The brewers and liquor dealers realizing that a combination of cir. including the tremen-l dous gain for prohibition at the recent national election, is aiding the Massa- Anti-Saloon League in its present campaign to oust the saloons from Boston. have raised a bigger fund than ever before for publicity work. Circular letters setting forth | the claims Of possible loss Of reve- nue under Q dry" regime have been sent to all tradesmen who are more or less affiliated with the liquor .raffic. in addition to the direct ap- peal for campaign contributions made 70 the traffic itself.

Burton Holmes Lecture.

The German Fatherland.' as describ-
ed and pictured by Burton Holmes at
the New National last night, gave
realistic conception of the splendid
might of that country, and a very real
understanding as to why Germany
claims to be the most efficient of all
nations. Several suggestions of the
present war were glimpsed. but mainly
the atmosphere was that of prosper
Gus country al peace with all the world.
Starting from "a side door to the
fatherland" the line of travel lay
along the Austrian frontier. with sight
seeing tours through Munich, Nurem-
berg, Heidelberg and other old time
cities, and then to Berlin by way of the
Rhine. Motion trips were made to his
toric points in and around the German
capital and later many films and colored
slides recalled the lecturers attendance
at the Passion Play at Oberammergau
in 1910.
Especially attractive motion pictures
depicted the scenic grandeur of the
koenigssee, the most beautiful lake in
Germany; the region Of romance as
sociated with the mad King of Bavaria, -
and for joyous contrasts, How the
Wendish women wcnd to church," and
