Equity and Non-Partisan Find
Ita Fake.
The rural credits law was passed
to make platform timber at the St.
Louis democratic convention in
1916. 1t was rushed through in a
hurry to help the Wilson admins.
tration cover up some of its failures
to make good on pledges of 1912.
John Burke said in speech open
ing his campaign for the senate
1t would seem as though this was
sufficient to go before the people,"
Cumbersome and Costly
The rural credits act is pictured
to the public as farmers act. 1t
really bankers act. 1t is un-
thinkably cumbersome. 1t estab.
fishes a governing body Of five
members (at $4,000 each), a. num-
Der of districts and separate SUBJ
governing bodies for each (all at
high salaries); all army of council
land appraisers, experts, secretari-
es, and others-for what purpose!
To help farmers borrow money at
the same old rates of interest OH
the same old kinds of security
but only after unwinding reels of
red tape.
It Gives No Relief
1t gives not single tenant far
mer one cent of relief. Only the
owners of land or those who can
Prove they are going to Immediate
ly own land can get its benefits "
To get these benefits" they have
to turn around and pay FIVE pei
cent of the money they borrow for
bank stock.
Bankers Still to Rule
But anyone else can buy this
stock also, and with it participate
in the management of this rural
credits bank. Thus any banker
can buy this stock and continue to
rule the destinies of the farmers.
as bankers do now. The difference
is that direct dealing between farm
er and banker will be superseded
by a round about way that will
cost lot of more money, but bring
no atom of improvement. The
law lets the rural credits banks
have government money at three
per cent, but the farmer can bor-
row it from the rural credits bank
at six per cent only.
Non Partisan Leaders Opinion
The Non-Partisan Leader said
of this law: The substance of
this bill is said to have come from
we'll known house in Wall street.
Anyway it couldn't have been
worse tor the farmer or better for
the money trust.
The law prescribes, minutely the
! only way in which these rural
credit branches and associations
can be formed. 1t smothers the
spirit of cooperation by which
farmers i'll the Equity Society, in
the Farmers Union, the Grange,
and through stock-shipping associa-
sions have been learning to solve
their economic problems. 1t dis
courage all development of self
help among farmers i'll solving their
financial problems. 1t is bank
er's law, and the + ity state
convention at NIinot this year
branded it as such in this resolu.
ton.
What the Equity Said About It.
Resolved, that we are opposed
to the Moss Hollis rural credit bill
now before congress, because this
bill is a deliberate and premeditat.
ed attempt on the part of Wall
street bankers to fasten upon the
farmers counterfeit rural credit
law, one that would retard, the get,
ting of favorable rural credits laws
for years to come. Hankinson

Hughes is Gaining johnson De-
clares

Returning from a campaign
tourof the eastern part of the
state in the interests of the nat
ional ticket, Congressman Royal
e. Johnson declared Monday
that during the last week the
pendulum of public sentiment
swung and is now swinging
strongly in favor of Hughes.
Regarding the situation in South
Dakota, Mr.. Johnson said;
In striking constrast with
the political adathy manifest in
South Dakota a week ago was
the enthusiasm evidenced by the
voters of Marshall, Day. Roberts
Grant, Kingsburg and Brookings
counties, where spoke last week
There were from three to four
hundred present at practically
every meeting, afternoon or
evening and many more than
that at Brookings last Saturday

applause from the audience.
"A fuller knowledge of Mr..
Hughes splendid and consistent
record is bringing many normal

while q keener realization of the
Importance of a Republican pro-
tective tariff and a consistent for
etgn policy at the close of the
war is firmly reuniting Republi-
cans and former Proressives in
the east, north, and west."

George Daniels is the Oldest.

Last weeks Ossian Bee told about
L. A. Meyer of that place having
passed his sixty-fourth birthday. Mr..
Meyer was born in Winneshiek couI-
ty in 1852 and has always been a
resident here. The Bee concluded
that he holds the record for longest
continuous residence in this county,
but Geo. Daniels. of DEBORAH, beats
Mr.. Meyers record, as he was born
in Frankville township in 1851, AMI
was the first white child born in that
township. He never has lost his resi-
dence in the county, either. The Bee
states that L. 7. Huber, of Calmar
and Ham Campbell, of Castalia, are
two men who might possibly beat Mr.
Meyers record. At any rate they are
all good fellows and we are glad they
are still here and enjoying good
health.

the ground good and hard, looking
up just in time to see the Ford, COM
ing his way, as he thought, and he
crawled under a wire fence into a
corn field Both of his optics were
blackened a la Jim jeffrey style,
and he received cut on the fore
head and on the chin, from broken
glass from the windshield. The acct

TINE TO PAY TAXES AGAIN.
Second InstaIlment Due This Month.
Then Penalty Attaches.

The second installment of taxes is
to be paid on or before the last day
of September to avoid paying a pen
atty.
Those who have paid only the first
Iinstallment, should see to it that the
second installment, if not already
paid, is paid this month, as penalty
of one per cent attaches on the first
day of October on all taxes of the Sec
ond installment which remains UNI
paid at that time.
One per cent for each month de-
linquent is the penalty for not pay
ing the taxes on time.
Real estate which there is any un-
paid taxes against, will be advertised
for sale in November, and if not paid
before the first Monday in December,
will be sold for the taxes.
There is a tax of so cents on each
male resident of legal age and over
so although a man has no taxes of
any other nature, he is liable for this
90 cent head tax.
So be sure and pay your taxes, if
not already paid, this month and thus
avoid the penalty. Pay them early
and avoid the rush at the treasurer'S
office.

SOY BEANS VS.. COWPEAS.

By experiment and then comparison
authorities here about came to the
conclusion that the soy bean as leg
ume is superior to the old fashion cow
pea. 1t is now pretty generally con-
coded that the soy beans have rather
the best of it, in superiority in a great
many respects. The advantages claim
ed is that the beans put more nitrogen
in the soil than the cowpea, and the
seed will stay in the field until late
in the fall without rotting thus giyins
a longer time for pasturing and for
the saving of the seed for planting.
They stand the dry weather better than
peas. Earlier varieties will ripen
ahead Of early varieties of cowpeas,
hence they can be planted earlier and
later. 1t is also conceded that the soy
bean will make heavier yield thai
cowpeas, while the peas will make the
most vine, that is when planted on
rich soil. The soy bean will practi-
cally all ripen at once and can be harry
ested by machinery, the cowpea ripens
slowly and must be picked by hand ard
at intervals as they ripen. The soy
bean is not troubled by weevil while
the pea Is very much so. Another
thing in favor of the bean and THAI re II
is muscle making food the equal if not
better than cotton seed meal.
We would not disparage or discour-
age the growing of cowpeas, however,
fer they in some instances lave the ad-
vantage over the soy bean. Some OF
these are as follows: They can he
slwn broadcast, while the soy bean
cannot, because they need more mois-
ture to gerimnate and do not germin-
ate uniformly. Cowpea how however is
easier to cure than the soy bean, an!
does not shatter so badly. 1t takes
less work to grow the pea than it docs
the soy bean, because they must be
