RULES SECRET SERVICE
MUST STAND EXPENSE
Farm Loan Board Need Not Pay for
Prosecutions of Violations
of Law.

The secret service can work for the
farm loan board in running down in
iouitous individuals who violate the
criminal sections of this new legisla-
ton. The farm loan board will not
bear the expense; the appropriation Tor
the secret service must shoulder the
cost
Charles Marshall Poree, acting con-
troller of the Treasury, has made this
decision. 1t comes up on reference
from the farm loan board as to how to
charge the cost incident to detection.
arrest and delivery into custody of
those who violate the farm loan act.
The federal farm loan act. in section
81, prohibits, under penalties, false
statements in applications for loans;
generalization of land by a committeeman
or appraiser; acceptance by an eA-
aminer of a loan or gratuity, or unau-
thorized disclosure of names of bor-
rowers; the making, forging or coun-

Service Authorized to Act.
The section closes with the pro-
vision:
THE Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby authorized to direct and use
the secret service division of the
Treasury Department to detect, arrest
and deliver into custody of the United.
States marshal having jurisdiction any
person or persons violating any of the
provisions of this section"
The effect is to remove the restric-
ton in the appropriation for the secret
service which limits the purposes for
which that service may be employed.
The secret service may therefore be
employed for purposes embraced with
in section 81, says the acting controller,
even though they are not provided for
by the secret service appropriation.

German Attitude Discussed.

The attitude of many German voters

certain to get the best of that vote
The German Alliance organizations of
Minneapolis and of st. Paul have in
dorsed Hughes. The German vote in
this state normally is democratic, fully
2 to /, but this year well informed
Germans think Hughes will carry it in
about that ratio. Counties with heavy
German vote that are normally demo-
cratic are claimed this year for Hughes,
and the democrats are making an ac-
tive fight at these points. which
usually have been left to care for
themselves.
The state legislature in a one-day
special session, October %, passed a
law enabling the Minnesota guardsmen
