A GREAT ORATOR

Many OF the older generation OF Re-
publicanS will remember with pleas
ure the periodical appearances OF the
Hon. William Gibson, OF Ohio, in this
State, a yeritable silver tongued
orator. He was a most charming aud
fascinating speaker. Now another has
risen in the Buckeye State on whom
the mantle of Gibson has most worth
lily fallen, the Hon. Warren &. Hard
ing, a man OF most excellent parts is
a citizen and especially gifted as an
orator. The Republicans Of Wheeling
and vicinity are fortunate indeed to
have the opportunity OF hearing Sen
ator Harding, who will speak at The
Carroll Club auditorium on Saturday
evening.
Senator Harding, it will be remem-
bered, was chosen out OF Il large field
of speakers OF national reputation and
oratorical distinction 70 preside over
the deliberations OF the Republican
National convention which nominated
Charles Evans Hughes. In that diff
cult position he won new laurels as an
accomplished orator, an eloquent TX
FOUNDER of the Republican faith. He
comes 10 us in a sympathetic frame
of Eind and with heart beating
strongly with high hopes and conf
dence in Republican triumph in Nov
ember. Do not miss hearing the mes
ssage he brings.

American agriculture has been I'M
drr-capitlized, not so much in regard
10 the procuring Of money for the iran
Sicnt needs of one season and another.
as in the lack of sufficient resources
for what one would call. in any other
business, capital expenditure. 1t IS for
the provision Of this capital, IN the
shape Of long term mortgage credit,
thai the Federal Farm Loan Act was
framed.
The essence OF the Act is that It
enables farmers, by banding together
in Associations, to obtain loans at not
more than six per cent. for from five
TO forty years, provided that they can
offer as security, first mortgage up
on land Of value Of at least twice the
amount OF the loan.
The terms of payment are on what
Is known as the amortization plan,
whereby the payment Of an annual
amount not much exceeding the in
terest figure gradually reduces the cap
ital indebtedness. so that,at the end of
he tern OF the specification Of years,
ii payments have been regular, the in.
debtedness is eXtinguished and the
charge upon the land is lifted. Thus,
a payment OF about ST. So a year would,
in forty years, eXtinguish a debt of
500 with interest al six per cent.
The Act neither involves the adop-
ton Of cooperation. as practised In
Raiffeisen banks, nor does it quite ac-
cent, save under certain conditions,
the principle Of treating with all
clients individually, as is the case in
Scotland. France and Egypt.
There are two very excellent rea-
sons why the German form Of coop

for which loans may run. German CO.

There Is no more noted newspaper
annual than the midwinter number
of the Los Angeles Times. whose joy
GUS issue for 1916 is just at hand.
Southern California has so many
unique destinations that a. newspa-
per which reflects them is in a class
by itself, and the "Mid-Winter" is so
classified by everyone who secs 1t.
It is made up of five beautiful mag
azines in addition to the usual news
sheets. Five magazines of thirty-two
pages each, with art covers. all print
ed on fine book-paper in bright COL
ors. The art work is surprisingly
fine and the text is Illuminating.
One can visualize the charms Of
the Southwest by looking through
this pleasing publication. 1t tells
one everything he wants to know
about the resources. prosperity and
delights Of the southland-the eli
mate, the crops, the Industries, the
habits of life and cost Of living, the
peculiarities of each town and county,
the financial conditions and business
prospects, tourist, accommodations,
openings for settlers. 1t is truthful
and sincere as well as dressed in
beautiful garm. General Otis does
his state great service in issuing such

Congress Back Again.

Congress resumed its labors recent
ly. following the holiday recess. and
will now devote itself--not to con-
structive legislation, but to devising
new forms of taxation to make good
the appalling deficit which has re-
suited from the Underwood tariff bill.
There is no doubt that the free SUI
gar clause, which President Wilson
forced Congress to adopt against the
advice of Mr.. Underfood and other
ADLER Democrats, will be repealed,
but It's repeal will fall far short Of
providing sufficient funds 10 make
good the deficit and to provide for
the expenditures dictated by Demo-
cratic extravaganza.
Special taxes on gasoline and other
petroleum products. tax Of five per
cent on the poor mans automobile
and one-half OF one per cent on the
rich mans car, tax on the small gas
engines used by the farmer and dairy
man, the small newspapers and the
small manufacturers, all Of which
have been urgently recommended by
President Wilson, will be considered
and out Of the consideration will
come additional burdens to be i'm
posed on those who are already being
subjected to special taxation under
the emergency tav law re-enacted
Just before the holiday recess.
