Rural Credits Legislation

CONGRESS is likely within the next two
- months to provide some adequate ma
chinery of credit for the agricultural in
terests of the country. The influence of the
administration is behind this movement, and
there seems small doubt it will attract suf-
fcient support in the Senate and House to
guarantee success.
The principal advantage of all the various
schemes OF rural credits is that they enable
the farmer to borrow money at reasonable
interest rates for a long term of years. When
the farmer borrows, it is usually for some
purpose of permanent improvement to his
farm. and only in instances is he bile
to repay the loan in two or three or five
years. Dealing with the ordinary CONNER
cial bank. he faces the probability that the
maturity of his loan will coincide with some
period OF financial stringency and that a re-
newal will be refused or granted only on the
payment of additional brokerage fees or other
onerous conditions.
The Holls-Moss bill which was framed in
accordance with the recommendations of a
Joint congressional commission, provides for
twelve land banks, corresponding roughly to
Tie regional reserve banks that mobilize the
industrial and commercial resources of the
country. The land banks will mobilize agri-
cultural resources in the same way. The
government will provide capital only in the
event 1t becomes necessary, and the loanable
funds are to be obtained from the bene-
hclarlcs themselves, through the medium Of
local associations. Advances are to be made
TO the amount of not more than so per cent
of the value OF the property mortgaged The
mortgages III turn will become security for
issues of land bank bonds. The members of
every local association will become Jointly
responsible for every mortgage the associa-
ton recommends to the land bank With
this double security. the bonds it is expected,
will be as safe and negotiable as those of
tons.
II wise law is passed, the Wilson admin
istration and the Democratic Congress will
have performed public service scarcely less
Important than the institution of the Federal
reserve system, which has enabled the United
States TO weather a world war and attain an
unparalleled prosperity

ridiculous TO believe that duty of such

may be coniided safely TO a person. however
wise and capable, whose time already is fully
occupied. An incompetent censorship would
be much worse than mono at all.
Should not move be made to save the

New Station Plan

wv IIil the Chamber Of Commerce and
w other representatives of RichmoI,!
sentiment. The Times Dispatch has opposed
what is called "butt-in'' station as solu-
tion OF the passenger ira flic problem of the
Atlantic Coast Line and Richmond Fred
erickshurg and Potomac Railroads. This or
position was based largely on the conclusion
that such a station, involving a necessary
diversion Of through trains from the main
line. might result in the future in the loss
to Richmond of passenger facilities the city
now enjoys.
Whether the amended proposal OF the rail-
roads ut interest. embodied in their announced
determination to erect their station on the
hermitage Golf Club site avoids the danger
that has been apprehendcd should be the
subject Of careful considerations The rail-
roads agree that "al through passenger
trains interchanged between the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac and the At
iantic Coast Line Railroads shall run into
and out of this station" That promise
seems to be sufficiently explicit unless it NAV
be considered to he limited by the succeed
ing para graph, to the effect that trains shall
/. run into the station at the Hermitage "unless
and until station is built at the Belt Line
and Broad Street" If that is a limitation
it should be removed from the understand
ing between the railroads and the city
Inc plans provide for Il handsome struc-
lure or monumental design. There seems
10 be no reason to doubt that i'm itself the
station would be credit to Richmond
