Guiding the one now pending, he has
been it's chairman. By reason of his
vigor and ability he has been an i'm
portant member and worthy Of study
In addition to the appropriation bills
several measures of general legisla-
ton Of great Importance have been
considered by the committee and a
number of them reported to the
house ard passed Others are pend
ing and active. Mr.. Lever has been
a decided factor in all this legislation

fWhiie he has always shown COM
mendable a~d elective interest in the
solution of problems affecting south
ern agriculture, and deserves the
everlasting gratitude of that portion
of our people for his services to them,
he has beea friendly to the study Of

He has the love, confidence, and
admiration of every member OF the

Several laws of great value bear
his name or owe their existence to

ADOPTS MEASURE
FOX FARM LOAN
SENATE PASSES RURAL CREDITS
BILL
Plan as Accepted Calls for NOnparti'
san Board and System of Land
Banks.

Washington, May 4.-The Hollis
farm loan bill, embodying the admin
istration plan for establishing a sys-
tenn of rugal credits, passed the sem
ate tonight by a vote of So to 5.
Secators Brandegee. Oliver, Ledge,
Page and Wadsworth, all republicans,
voted against the measure.
The bill. after almost Two weeks OF
debate, passed the senate practically
as reported by the banking commit
tee. An amendment by Senator Smoot
reducing the salaries of the farm loa !
board from $4,000 to $500 was
adopted by a vote of 26 to 25 in the
committee of the whole, was recon-
sidered and was defeated, 90 to 81.
A somewhat similar bill has been
reported by the house banking COM
mittee and it is said will be brought
up for consideration in the house
soon. Like the senate measure. il
would create loan banks but it differs
in means of operation
The senate bill provides for non
partisan farm loan board to consist
of the secretary of the treasury and
four others, having general control OF
farm loan system Of y or more land
banks, through which loans actually
would be made
Each land bank would hive capi-
tai stock of at least 100000 to be
subscribed by the government II not
taken by the public. The farm loan
associations would be cooperative
made up of ten or more farmers. who
would obtain a charter fro their
district land bank. A farmer desir,
ing to become a borrower would bf
required to take stock in the loan as.
sociation equal to 5 per cent. of the
loan; the loan association in turr
would take an equal amour. of stocF
in the lard bank. which would ap
praise the security offered and make
the loan through the association. Or
mortgages amounting to $4,000, {
bank might issue like amount o.
farm loan bonds. which would be Sc
cured by all - laad banks.
All profits would go to the loan as.
sociations in dividends and thus tc
the borrowers who are shareholders
in them. Loans might be on as Ions
terms as SO years and on the amorti
zation plan, so that with each inter
est payment the farmer could pay {
small amount on his principal. Loans
would be limited to first mortgages
/ and could not exceed so per cent. o.
the appraised value of the land,
The principal fight on the bill was
directed at the sections exempting the
banks and their mortgages from TAXA
ton and permitting employees to be
chosen without regard to the clvi
service.

of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious TO that all lines owned By
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least once year. and that at least
experienced telephone assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be than Offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing US fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-

Ralph Horr, Nonpartisan

RI HE new president of the Young
1 Mems Republican club is Ralph A.
Horr. In his first speech as president, he
declared himself against nonpar,isanship
Horr's stand is exceedingly inconsistent.
He himself is splendid argument FOR
nonpartisanship,
Four years ago, Horr was an active
member of the progressive party. He
counseled with the Bull Moose. supported
Bull Moose candidates. and contributed
to the Bull Moose campaign funds
Now he is a republican and is honored
as president OF the Young Mems Repub-
liean club.
Has not Horr actually praeticed non
partisanship by affiliating first with one
party and then with another as, in his
opinion, the occasion demanded
Certainly.
The Young Mems Republican club
moreover. has shown in actual practice a
nonpartisan attitude by accepting Horr
as president. altho four years ago he was
opposed to the candidates of the party
Ralph Horr's TALK against nonparti-
sanship is most certainly inconsistent
with his ACTION.
HORR Is A LIVING EXAMPLE OF
NONPARTISANSHIP
