Would Not Help the Farmer
From the Rome Tribune-HeraId.

The rural credits bill now before congress
has been dissected at a meeting OF repre-
sentatiVes of a number of farmers OrganlZa-
tions in Washington, D. c., and after due
consideration they decided that this Dill did
not fill the needs of the farmers. 1t has been
discovered that So per cent of the farmers
of the United States are tenants, that is,
farmers who rent land to make crops on
instead of owning it.
The pending bill provides for loans to
those farmers who own their land and can
give a mortgage on it. This being the case,
the Tribune-Herald fails to see how the
farmers as a whole would derive any great
amount of benefit from the bill as it stands.
ANY farmer who owns an unincumbered
farm can easily borrow a reasonable amount
of money on it from any of the numerous
loan companies now in existence. So far
as they are concerned they are ALREADY pro-
vided for.
1t is the tenants who need assistance. AS
matters stand very few tenants do more in
a year than get a living and pay up their
rents and bill for supplies. AS rule they
consider that they do very we'll if they ac-
complish this. AS a matter of fact many
of them are unfortunate and come out heav-
lily in debt at the close of the season. 1t is
this class that the government should help.
1t is a we'll known fact that country mer-
chants who supply the farmers to make their
crops demand a heavy toll of them They
consider that they take more than an ordi-
nary risk when they furnish supplies in ad-
vance, considering always the attendant con-
tingencies of bad seasons and poor crops.
Consequently they think that they are JUS
titled in charging a large profit on their
goods. This makes it almost impossible for
the tenant class to come out ahead. What
they need is a system of rural credits that
will enable them to borrow money from the
government, pay cash for the supplies and
get them at a low figure-which could be
accomplished in this way.

Futile Ostentation.

A New York congregation has announced
its intention to erect a church ediice at a
cost of $4,000, 900, and the first question
which Immediately and involunntarily fills
the mind is, Why?
One of the greatest complaints which the
so-called ''unsaved" laity Of this day holds
against modern exemplifcation of religion is
that of needless ostentation. In instances
such as this is concrete proof which will be
pointed to with derision.
Pride in the architectural scope and i'm
posingness of a church building is pardona-
BILE Dawson, for instance, has church edi-
fees of which she is rightfully proud. But
there should be reason in all things, even
in the cost of the construction of a church,
and it passeth the understanding of most
of us just what degree of lavshness must be
INDUCED in to expend SO, 100000 on a place
of worship.
Would it not be better, would it not be
more fitting example of that practical
Christianity concerning which We are told so
much to put a fourth of the amount spec
ifed-and it seems to us that a fourth of it
ought in all reason to provide for a magnif-
cent and imposing building-into the church
structure itself and devote the remaining
three-fourths to housing and clothing and
feeding the unfortunates who dwell cOntig-
uous to the congregations habitat? Would
it not be a more strikingly convincing illus
tration of that charity which God Almighty
says He believes to be the greatest of all
human attributes?
What allurement will fill the soul of the
starving wretch, out at knees and elbows,
who drifts by the 100000 church and
thinks in the depth of his heart that within
the sound of it's deep-toned bell his wife and
babe would be grateful for a crust of bread?
We suspect there were stately edifices in
the days of Jesus Christ, but our recollec-
ton of Him, as CLEANED from the one His
tory of Histories. is that He preferred the
hilltops; and we are unable to divorce the
belief that He promulgated, in all its rami-
fications brand of religion which will com
pare favorably with any and all evolved since

The State Road

Note-The Dalton Citizen is one OF Id
papers which advocate the sale of the Wes
ern and Atlantic railroad. It's views are II
teresting, to say the least, and, for that red
son, The News reproduces them as follows
The people of Georgia who think the sta
road is about the only thing the state poi
seSses that is worth while seem to have lOI
their perspective. Some of their Statement
are amusing, especially when these stat
ments are meant to bolster their reason
why the state road should not be sold.
Governor Harris land we do not belieyl
he is very much opposed to the sale of thI
state road in a recent speech in NacOj
made the statement that some well post i
men have said that the income from thl
property should be 100000 year. A III
tie further on in his speech the gOyerld
quoted a conversation he had with prOn|
inent New York banker, while he was
New York to borrow money to pay the SchO
teachers for their last years work as foI
lows:
when l was in New York recently ID
the purpose of borrowing money to meg
the payments due the teachers one of til
great bankers of that city, to whom | haI
applied, said to me: 4 think your sai
owns a railroad that is liable for its pubIl
debt, does it not?' l replied: Yes Tbd
he said What is the road WORTH ] al
swered: 1t is very valuable; what have Yl
heard it is WORTH He said I have heai1
it is worth thirty millions l replied: Ven
we'll; put it at thirty millions; will you Iel1
us some money on it?' He said: You @1
borrow any amount that you need for N
state of Georgia. "
Of course it is not necessary for the sad
of Georgia to own a railroad to be able 4
borrow money. Other states in the uniol
borrow money when they want it, and tl3
have no railroad as security. Neither 4
they need any. Neither does Georgia.
If the state road were sold and the mona
properly invested, after all the states de0l
were paid, it would not be necessary to OOi
row money. But if it were sold the S27
would have absolutely no trouble bOrroV3
all the money it wanted at a reasonable ra1
All this talk about the state not being aI
to borrow money on good terms if it had
railroad for security is so much bos1, ana
a reflection on the intelligence of the pe'
pie.
There is a point, however, we wish to eI1
phasize with reference to the governors Z
marks about the rental of 100000 wy
on a road which, by inference at least, ne
Inmates is worth $30,000,0 900. If the roa
is worth $50 900, 900 100000 year REM
would be two per cent on the lnVestmel
Nothing is said about paying any taxes,
building decent depots. The truth CT Y
business is, two per cent is mighty poor
turns on an investment, and if an indiyidus
had stock in a concern that would pay
more than this amount he would be tryg
to sell it at fifty cents on the dollar, or 70
most any old amount he could get. But

Business Courtesy.

While talking at the receiving teller
window of bank a representative of The
News was requested by the official presiding
thereat to suspend the conversation for
moment while a depostor received atten-
ton. The depositor was a boy aged appar-
emily about twelve.
And the attention he received was oDse-
quious His lone dollar elected a smile of
encouragement and a hearty thank you
from the bank man.
Whereupon when the youthful client had
departed we ventured a remark to the effect
that the patronage of the little customer was
appreciated.
you bet it is appreciated" emphatically
replied the banker 1T isn't the dollar you
saw him hand me-we wouldn't miss that
if he had gone elsewhere with it-but it is
the possibility we see in the boy as a future
customer of this institution, This bank will
be doing business here after | am dead and
gone, and twentY years from now this boy,
who will be a man then, may step up to this
same window with a deposit thousand
times as large as the one he has just made y
You are convinced, then that courtesy
pays dividends?"
Convinced! Why, there isn't a question
as to that. Courtesy always pPys dividends,
and | know of no better field for the inculca-
ton of early seed than in the minds of just
such youngsters as the one who gave
me this dollar moment ago. l want to
make a friend of that boy-in fact, | have
already done so, and l am going to keep his
friendship as long as I am connected with
this bank 1t means dollars and cents to
the bank"
All of which was good, sound business
policy.
