Land Banks Opposed

The Federal Land Banks to be es-
tablished under the farm loan act do
not meet with the approval of many
bankers. Today's financial circular
issued by Nelson Cook & Co. says in
this connection.
I'm our experience in long years of
banking We have been quite familiar
with loans made to farmers both by
country and city banks, especially the
former. and We say without hesitancy
that under present conditions the
country banks of localities with which
We are familiar have afforded and
granted to the farming interests every
dollar of credit to which they have
been entitled. There never has been a
time when farmer of good repute
could not borrow funds for the pur-
pose of buying fertilizer and for put
ting up permanent improvements, or
for adding to the extent of his farm
ing land; and while this new Federal
law and Federal system may make it
easier to acquire such loans, we doubt
whether it will be better for the far
mer in the end, and it certainly will
detract from the usefulness and
profit of the banks situated in farm
ing territory.
"ln a general sense we consider it a
disadvantage rather than an advan-
tage to encourage the making of easy
and cheap loans on farming lands.
Anyone who has had anything to do
with this system of financing must
realize how hard it is for a farmer to
get out of debt when once he has be-
come involved. The loss of single
crop, or the decline in the market
value of his products in any one year,
may so set him back that it would be
almost impossible for his to recover
the losses made, and hence the indebt-
edness goes on from year to year.
Again. is it wise and desirable to en-
courage farmers to mortgage their
farms and to incur obligations and
Indebtedness which must be paid in
good and bad seasons ?"

Public Office a Burden.-"To me
public office means burden of respon-
sibilty-a burden of incessant toll at
times almost intolerable-which under
honorable conditions and at the COM
mand of the people it may be duty
and even pleasure to assume. but 1T
is far from being an object of ambi-
ton"
On European War.-"Wc are living
at a time when men and women in a
large part of the world are undergoing
a discipline unriva!ed in It's severity
and are exhibiting a heroism that has
never been surpassed. Let it not be
supposed that those who survive will
lack the strength which such sacrifice
and such discipline must give. Let US
not content ourselves with the COM
Portable thought of hardships we have
escaped, but rather reflect upon the
vigor. self-discipline and patriotic ar
dor which alone can make US worthy
of opportunity or able to use it."-Ad-
dress in January. 1916, to New York
State Bar Association.
Americanism Above Party.-"We
want IN this day OF grace 10 recognize
the fact that American citizenship is
a bigger thing than membership of
any party; that the honor of the State
is a more important thing than a mere
party victory; that the question whe-
ther we shall do things IN the right
way and appeal to truth and Judgment
in our efforts to right wrong is more
important thing than whether a given
name shall be inscribed upon an Ad-
ministration banner."- Speech during
his first campaign for Governor, 1906,
-:-
Preparedness.-"We are devoted to
no policy of aggression. The main
tenance of our ideals is our surest pro-
lection. 1t is our constant aim to live
il friendship with all nations and to
realize the aims of free Government
secure from the Interruptions of strife
and the wastes of war. Il is entirely
consistent with these aims and it is
our duty to make ADEQUATE provision
for our defense and to maintain the
efficiency of our army and navy. AND

1t makes n vigorous in defense,

is an incentive to industry; il
makes the individual contented

you have any old fogies remember
they are in the minority, and thai
it takes all kinds of people to make
a world anyway. Encourage liv
people to move in by making j

POLITICAL NEWS
Continued from Page /

The defeat Of William d. Muir
ray Of Silver City, one of the
state most loyal Republicans for
state treasurer, came as a blow
to southern Grant county consti-
tuents. Gregory Page, of Gallup,
Mckinley County, was the sue
ceesful nominee. In retaliation
for the defeat of Mr.. Murray, he
was elected to be chairman of the
Republican state central commit
tee, which he did not accept.
Bob Evrien for state land COM
missioner, was a nomination that
pleased every one all around, and
J. H. Wagner for state school SUI
perintendent will make a strong
candidate.
The nomination Of H. o. Bur
sum and Frank Hubbell, for COVER
nor and U. S. Senator, respective
ly, was generally conceded to go
through without a hitch, which it
did. Mr.. Bursum will make a Wig
orous campaign, and stands di-
rectly in line for election. He is
one of the most powerful men in
the affairs of New Mexico. His
speech of acceptance showed the
caliber of the man to be what his
friends have always believed him
to be-a man of executive ability
in a quantity sufficient to elect
him to the position of second gov
ernor of New Mexico.
Tht most spectacular fight of
he convention occurred over the
fight for the supreme court Judge
ship. There was a strong demand
1mong the Spanish American del
egates for o. A. Larrazolo. The
friends of Chief Justice Clarence
J. Roberts we're active and deter
mined, and defeated a motion to
recess for a conference of the
Spanish American delegates. The
vote was 144 for Roberts and 121
for L~arrazolo.
Hernandez RenOminated
Benigno c. Hernandez, of Rio
Arriba, was nominated to succeed
himself in Congress by Alexander
Read, of Rio Arriba. This nomin-
alton was by a rising vote, amid
cheers. Following this nomination,
Holt, of Dona Ana, moved for a
recess until 8 p. m. There were
violent cries of protest from all
over the house, and the motion was
never put.
In nominating w. d. Murray,
County Chairman Matt Fowler de-
lighted the convention, by stat
ing that his candidate was a good
Republican in a county where it
was worth something to be a Re-
publican, a county bounded on the
west by Governor Hunt, on the
east by Ralph C. Ely, and on the
south by President Wilson's "pu-
nitive expedition. He described
the voters of Grant county as di-
vided into two classes, Texans and
Republicans Spiess nominated
Gregory Page, of Mckinley, state
senator, and nominated again to
succeed himself. The vote was l41
to 1913 for Page.

An INTERESTING INTEREST

A noticeable feature in the po-
litical campaign now at hand is
the wide interest being shown by
the people in the selection Of del.
egates and candidates and the in
terest Of these delegates and can.
didates in registering activity.
The recent primaries of botf
democratic and republican partief
we're largely attended in all part
of New Mexico. The delegate who
went TO the convention carrying 2
dozen or more proxies was absent
Efforts were made by delegates
20 attend in person wherever NOS
sible at sacrifices to other duties
and finances.
It all tends to show a revival Of
the old time political interest the
interest that keeps politics clear
and knocks the bottom out of the
pork barrel. In some instances
majorities showed under deleQa-
tions with ideas all their own, but
the %majorities were always pres
ent for the snow storm.
Southern Grant county has :
strong nominee for the position Of
county commissioner from the
third district in John Robson. He
Is one Of the oldest settlers in
southern New Mexico. He is a
successful business mar and is .
fayorite of men from both parties
Silence is no guarantee that the
victim of your talk agrees with
your argument. Now that the
campaign is on in all its fury and
its glory, with every candidate
endeavoring to discredit the 9th
er. this is the open season of ar
gument.
The first state political gun was
fired at Santa Fe this week when
II. o. Bursum was nominated for
governor. Declaring that the Re
publican party in the state is unit
ed again, the leaders are claiming
Bursum's election by over 5000.
