Farming Interests OF Nation Will Be
Benefited BY New System OF
Farmers Credit.

Farmers Credit.
when politicians fall out, honest
men get their dues" This is about
the view of the farmer, who for
4 decades has seen the halls of legisla-
ton controlled by pork barrel en-
thusiasts. Only in very recent years
has the man behind the plow wit
messed the displacement in Congress
OF the element whose sole aim in
political life has been TO secure the
lavish expenditure of public monies
for constituents with no especial re-
gard for the real immediate needs of
the farming interests.
The farmer now is to have his
inning. The farm loan banks soon
to be established throughout the
country will prove to be true life
saver for the farmers generally. The
farming interests of the nation will
be made vastly greater by the new
system of farmers credits provided
by the law recently signed by the
President.
The, agricultural development of
the United States can be greatly en-
larged through the long time credits
at low rates of interest which are
made possible by the new law. Ger
tainly there is no inducement to
greater farm development unless it
can be made profitable. To make
farming profitable there necessarily
must be the required capital open
to farmers on reasonable terms.
A review of the farming industry
for years discloses that in times OF
financial stringency they have been
the chief sufferers as result of the
scarcity Of funds, and hence improve
ments along agricultural lines have
: too often been impeded. They have
been the victims of extortionate rates
Of interest. Many Of them have been
constantly in the shadow of mortgage
foreclosures, because Of the high
interest charges.
The advocates OF the law very
properly have claimed that the farm

emancipating the farmer from the
disadvantages he has so long had to
contend with. Officials now say that
the farmers of the country will be
provided with an abundance of
credits, available at all times, upon
long term mortgages at low rates of
interest, with provision for repay
ment Of the principal on easy install
ments. The farmer under the new
system should be aDre to pay the
interest ON his mortgage and the
principal Of his debt through annual
J installments which win be less than
the straight interest charges paid on
the old mortgage under the former
system.
More profitable farming, with
more comfort and prosperity for the
man who tills the soil, and with the
future prospect of a life Of security
and Independence. is assured under
the new order of things. 1t is the
confident prediction of many students
of affairs that the new law, through
its many advantages. VIII attract to
the soil large numbers Of persons
who have heretofore found it i'm
possible to engage in agriculture be-
cause 1t has been difficult to secure
money ON farm obligations.

tory to those Republicans who would

added.

that any members miSunderstands
the issue upon which we are going to
vote. 1t is as broad and as good as
the proposed Substitute brought in
here today by a Republican member OF
the rules committee. The question be-
fore this Congress is whether II Will
with its vote sustain the hand OF the
President in the diplomatic controver-
sy he is having with Germany.
1.-THE Senate has taken action which
is satisfactory to the whole country.
At this point the clamor raised by the
Republican side OF the House was so
great that Mr.. Flood was unable to
proceed for more than minute. The
speaker banged his desk with his
gavel.
II know it is not satisfactory to Re-
publicans who would make political
capital of it," he continued. and anoth-
er storm of cries from the Republican
side interrupted him.
II think the House in a few minutes
also will take action that is satisfactory
to the country he said when silence
was restored.
Mr.. Flood said the McLemore resolu-
ton would. if adopted. say to the world
that I'VE will not defend our President
an tUh
recognized right under international law.
We have made suggestions in the note
of Jan. IS 1915, he added. to England
and the other Allies TO change certain
features Of international law and the sus-
gestions were declined SO that the old in
ternational law permitting the armlng OF
merchant vessels stands.
IF we yield to Germany would
have to yield to the Allies and SO on, so
would crumble piece by piece. We cannot
yield to Germany without admitting the
awful crime of the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania was justified. The only course to
pursue is to stand up strongly for inter
national law. This the President of the
United States has done and done 1t in
such way as to serve the rights and
principles Of humanity.
1--WE propose this afternoon to cast 4
vote that will show the nation; Of the
world that there is no divided America
In the votes taken so far this has Rot
been made a party question. Many Re
publicans voted with us and l believe
more Republicans will join with lis IN the
final issue-the vote to table the McLe-
more resolution
