Crisis for Nations Toilers.

What the laborsr didn't see under
the Republican regime was that High
Tariff does not regulate wages, Dut
makes 1t possible for the manufactur-
er to so regulate prices that he can
control labor. The farmer, with his
characteristic self-reliance and natur-
ally independent spirit, asked no fav-
ors. All he wanted was an equal
chance with other business men. Will
son saw the farmers interests In
big way.
The Rural Credits Act alone, OF
more than dozen big things this
Democratic Congress did for agricul-
ture, gave greater direct benefits to
the farmers than any legislation en-
acted since the creation Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture generation ago
There came time when the laborer
saw that his labor was commodity,
a thing to be bought and sold, or re-
strained or enjoined by the unwar-
ranted issuance of injunction writs in
Federal courts; he saw that he did
not have the rieht-guaranteed him
by our constitutional voluntary as
ISOLATION for his own protection and
welfare; in short, he saw that he was
a wage slave! He saw that he was
up against Capital-organiZed and en-
trenched behind the Powerful Pull OF
the Political Bosses of the Republican
High Finance Gang, and Organized
Capital fought to prevent the organi-
cation of Labor!
What did Labor demand? Merely
this: That Labor be made part OF the
national councils; that its patriotism
be conceded; and that its knowledge
of it's own needs give 1t paramount
voice in legislation directly and Pc
culiarly affecting its own rights.
And what has been the spirit Of this
Democratic Administration? Let Sam
uel Gompers, President Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor tell:
'In my experience with United
States Congresses during two score
years l have not seen anything like
the fine spirit toward labor. toward
the rights and welfare of all the
people. pervading all the branches of
the Wilson Administration. This fun
damental right spirit has guided the
Wilson Administration to wise and
righteous labor legislation"
In the age long struggle between
CAPITAL, which has always had per-
mission to combine, and Labor, which
was denied the right to combine, the
greatest step toward the full enfran-
chisement of labor was recommended
by Democratic President and put
into law by q Democratic Congress
the anti-Injunction Amendment to
the Clayton Law.

Food Required by the Aged.

A great English physician, DR..
George Cheyne, states that after fifty
years of age the amount of food should
be decreased gradually. At eighty, if
a man becomes so old. he should eat
about as much as child of five. A
man should take especial care Of him
self between the ages of thirty-two
and thirty-tive. by studying his consti-
tuition and regulating food, exercise
and pleasure.

RURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
Former High-Interest Agencies
Rush to Reduce Rates to
the Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST
May Borrow Half of Land Value
at Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being Felt
Strongly.

The effect Of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Admin
istration, already is being felt in lower
interest rates, although the land banks
have not yet been organized. Testi-
mOny to this effect is being given at
the hearings held by the Federal Farm
Loan Board in various western cities
At the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
Gus farmers stated that interest rates
in the hOmesteading section of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prOspec-
tive competition of the thirty to forty
year loans that the land banks soon
will be making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other loan agency would
make on a 640-acre "Kinkaid" claim
was $1,000. The commission deducted
from this left the farmer $3.50. He
paid interest at from to 10 per cent.
for five years on $1,000, making his
average net interest rate from II to
13 per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition of the new rural credits
law, Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make tive-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
of the new law

MEREDITH OPENS
HARD CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Getting Busy.
URGING FOR A BUSINESS BASIS
Stands for Prohibition, Good Roads
and an Efficient Management OF
the Affairs of the State.

Des Moines, baldwin T. Mere
dith democratic candidate for gov
ernor, is entering in real earnest up
on one of the most aggressive cam
paigns ever staged by democratic
candidate in the state of Iowa.
Mr.. Meredith, the self-made pub
Usher of successful Farming" the
second largest publication of its KIND
in the United States, is widely diff
ferent type of candidate from the
usual political office seeker.
He has built up a tremendous bus
mess since he founded successful
Farming" in 1902, and through his
business ability has gained recogni-
ton throughout the country.
He was suggested as secretary of
agriculture in the Wilson cabinet,
and was offered the portfolio of as
sistant secretary, but refused to
serve because he preferred to remain
in Iowa. He resigned as a director
of the Chicago Federal reserve bank
in order to become candidate for
governor. He is the member of the
directory board of the chamber of
commerce of the United States, rep
resenting Iowa, Nebraska and Min
nesota commercial organization, and
is a member of the national execu-
tive committee of the national Or
ganization of advertising men of the
United States.
A Business Candidate.
He is a candidate upon business
platform, pledging himself to the ad-
ministration of his office In the same
manner in which he would handle a
huge business institution. His wide
experience in the business world
gives him peculiar and valuable quail
ifications rarely possessed by candi-
date for a political office.
Mr.. Meredith stands squarely upon
prohibition platform, and has
been opposed to the liquor interests
throughout his career as publisher of

that the saloon should be permanent
ly barred in Iowa. and is opposed to

Benefits to Farmers.

The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security of
their land. Ten farmers can form one
of these associations. They can bOr-
row up to 50 per cent. of the value of
their land. for period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an.
nual installments. or can be paid in
full at any time. The estimated in
terest rate is per cent. The farmer
who borrows will share in the profits
Of the business. thereby reducing his
interest rate to a still lower figure.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has issued from its headquarters,
ut No. 80 East Forty-second street,
New York, a pamphlet for free distri-
button fully explaining the rural
credits law. It may be obtained from
your Democratic State or County
Committee.

Lodge Protecting Banks.

This may account for the attack
made on the Democratic rural credit
measure by Senator Lodge, ut Bever-
ly, Mass, on Sept. %, when he stated
that money could be borrowed on bet
ter terms from regular agencies than
under the rural credit act.
Mr.. Lodge declares that this act will
endanger the present National and
cooperative banks and tend to break
them down, according to the report OF
his speech in the Boston Globe.
The farmers Of the West, who have
suffered eXorbitant interest rates for
years. are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, anG
ready to help put it in successful op-
