FEDERAL LOAN SYSTEM FREE
OF TAX
Means Cheaper Money to Borrowers
and BETTER Returns 10 Investors

The farmer pays the taxes upon
his real estate. II cannot escape
taxation. Usually IL is assessed for
taxation close to The figure at which
il would sell.
Now, If the lender has To pay a
tax on the note or mortgage given
by the farmer, the rate of interest is
correspondingly increased and the
borrower is doubly taxed.
But if no tax is imposed upon the
farmers note and mortgage, or up
on the bond secured thereby, there
should be a corresponding decrease
in the rate Of interest which the
lender or investor is willing TO ac-
cept. Thus double taxation is
avoided and inducement is offered
the lender to accept still lower in
terest rates.
The new federal farm loan law
is based partly on the foregoing
principles, says Orange Judd
Southern Farming. That authority
points out that by this new system,
the entire saving in taxes accrues
to the benefit Of the farm borrower.
By the old plan heretofore in
vogue, money lenders sometimes
have been taxed on the farmers
notes or mortgages they held as Sc
curity. This tax was imposed be-
cause the lender was in a position
to make the farmer pay a rate so
high as TO include the tax. In other
words, the farmer who borrowed OF
Shylock had to pay a high rate
and if the Shylock were not taxed
upon such an investment, the Shy
lock paid no tax at all.
But the new federal system goes
far to control the rate of interest.
II gives the borrower the benefit Of
every possible saving in rate. The
new law also helps people to in
crease their small savings by in
vesting same in federal farm bonds

on U. Boat Raids.
FRENCH ENVOY MAKES CALL
President IN Statement, Says He Has
No Right to Question oermany's
willingness to FulhIl Promises on
Submarine Warfare.

Long Branch. ~ j., Oct l0-Scc-
rotary Lansing arrived here today for
. conference with President Wilson
concerning German submarine raids
OF the American coast Mr.. Lansing
Il expected to remain over night at
the presidents summer residence.
The announcement that the secre-
tary OF state would confer with the
president confirmed the impression
gained here that the American gov.
eminent considered the attacks on
vessels OF the American coast by .
German submarine as fraught with
grave possibilities. At the same time
II was made clear that there 10 moth
ing In the reports so far received 10
show that international rules or the
earlier promises OF Germany have
been violated. Concern over the sit.
uation conferred chiefly about the pos.
sibility OF what might happen II the
submarine attacks are continued.
The position OF the American gov.
eminent and its determination to make
q full Investigation before acting was
made clear in the following statement
given out by the president:
THE government will. OF course.
nrst inform itself to all the facts that
there may be no doubt or mistake as
far as they are concerned.
THE country may rest assured that
the German government will be held
to the complete fulfillment OF It's prom
ise to the government of the United
States. have no right now to ques-
ton its willingness TO fulfill them"
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. who came here to give
the president a personal letter from
the German emperor on Polish relief,
discussed with President Wilson the
new activities OF German submarines.
The ambassador. while expressing
an entire lack OF official information
from his government on the new sub
marine attacks. said that Germany
had promised TO conduct her subma'
rine warfare In accordance with the
rules OF cruiser warfare.
The ambassador 'smained with the
president only fifteen minutes and
was smiling when he left. He declared
he was as much surprised as anybody
when the news OF the sinking OF the
FIRST British ship reached him.
The president had seriously con
sidered going to Brooklyn today to at
tend the third world series baseball
game. but decided to remain here ana
keep In touch with the submarine sit
uation.
Before seeing Secretary Lansing,
the president conferred with Jules
Jusserand. the French ambassador,
who came to Shadow Lawn to bring
q personal letter from President Poin-
care OF France to President Wilson on
Polish relief.
Il Is considered probable that during
the conference the French ambassa-
dor may lay before the president the
view OF the entente governments that
German submarines should not be al
lowed TO come into American ports.
During the day the executive Of
fees here were In communication with
Secretary Daniels and received prelim-
mary reports assembled by the navy
department on the submarine activi'
ties on the American coast.

There he lies, too drunk for dreaming,
Sprawling. stupid, gaunt and GRIM

Shrivelled tots who seem to know
That his fate has come and found him,
Shivering meath his sheet Of snow.
There he lies. his gray hair nuttering

Stirring titfully and muttering
Like a WORKOUT galley slave.
Once that head, now gray and matted.
And those lips, now all atwist,
