The Rural Credits Law.

When the remarkable record of
Legislative achievement of the Will
son administration is reviewed the
rural credits law will rank first
in the minds of many and among
the greatest in the opinion of all.
1t is of more value to the farming
population of the country, the
basic element of the nation, than
all the legislation in their behalf
passed by the Republicans in the
last half century.
The farmer can give the best Sc
curity in the world. 1t cannot be
lost, hidden or destroyed, or per-
manently injured. Bad manage
ment may cause manufacturing,
mercantile, railroad or other stock
to drop from 5000 share to far
below par. There are no such fluc-
tuations in land values; they are
stable and enduring. Farm loans
suffer under one disadpanttage-
they are not liquid, not imme6-x
ately or readily convertible intd(
cash.
The trouble has always been
thatsour laws and our banking
rules and regulations have been
adapted only to the needs of the
capitalists, merchants and bust
ness generally which only require
short time loans, but have not
been adapted to the borrowing
needs of the farmers. But the evil
is now cured and the lack pro-
vided for by the rural credits law.

Hampshire, thorough student

man in the nation on the subject
