Editor, The Vermont Advance,
Burlington, Vermont.

Burlington, Vermont.
recall that when met you few weeks since, you asked
me would write for the Advance brief article giving my
reasons for voting against the Rural Credits BILL told you
that would give pleasure to do so, and now comply with
your request.
Lest my position be misunderstood let say the outset
that have abiding faith that the farmers of Vermont need
that every fiber of my makeup is loyal to their
interests This being the case deem only necessary to give
you simple story my part of the labor performed in the
formulation of the Rural Credits bill.
This bin was introduced in the Senate January 3rd and
was referred to the Committee Banking and Currency Of
which am member That spent many hard hours of ser
vice abong earnestly to perfect the measure SO that it might
south and far west known to every member of the Commit
on Banking and Currency.
Credits bill in the committee the unanimous opinion OF
committee that the bill could be of no real value to the
of the east 1t confessed by every member OF the
committee that its Investigations were conclusive upon that
point and that there reasonable expectation on the part
the friends of the bill that could be of any practical benefit
10 any section of the country east of Ohio Indeed not
expected that would be of very much value in Ohio Indiana
and Illinois The for this obvious the rates for
farm mortgages in the east and middle west range
from to per cent Passing south OF the ONO River and
the Mississippi however the rates for which
it not necessary discuss in this communication increase
until 10 per cent rate is reached IN some sections on the
Pacific Coast.
The fact that the east would not be benefited by this meas
ure was urged against the BILL every member of the
Committee Banking and Currency abored with desire to
tighten the burden of the farmers In the states where the
extreme rates of interest prevailed
There came time however in the considerations of the
committee when the question to eXempng the notes
bonds issued under the Rural Credits bill from every form
of taxation placing them parity with u s. Government
bonds.
Whether it would would not be right to that the
State Vermont any other state must not tax It's own
property within its borders question which
the members of the Committee Banking and Currency
divided Under the provisions of the BILL moneyed man
Vermont can invest his funds in this Rural Credits paper
laugh at the when they ask him to contribute his
share to the support Of the schools highways and other
expenses Of conducting state and municipal affairs.
During all the discussions of this measure by the Vermont
press the slightest mention far as can recall has ever
been made this taxexempton feature of the Rural Credits
bin Every VeYmoner understands that when you take the
burden of taxation from any class Of people that bur
back Of the farmer.

reply, much to the amusement of those present. The interchange enlivened the usually dull routine of city court hearings.
 Attorney Torrey pleaded for Kelley. He set forth that the man could hardly be regarded as a forger. He Is not a criminal, MT. Torrey said, but a man who through sorrow over the death of his wife had fallen into the unfortunate habit of drink, fallen from a life of sobriety and rectitude, and had continued to drink for months. In the state he was in Friday he could not justly, MT Torrey claimed, be re- garded as man who was deliberately attempting to defraud. He had se- cured no money. My client is deeply repentant now, MT. Torrey said, and he would pay a fine to be set free and have the charges dismissed.
 This view of what should be done in disposing of the case was not ac- cepted by the prosecutor and the re- suit was that Kelley was bound over. The prisoner, who has two children in Norwich and two in Franklin, Mass, has $500 in the bank, it is understood and furnished, during the day, his own bail and was released.
