More About aRural Credit..g

Details of the so-called rural credits
measure, now before congress, substantiate
the earlier conclusion that II IL to be of little
no service to the small farmer. and of none
TO the tenant farmer. The plan considers only
long time loans, running not less than five
years, secured by first mortgage, and for not
more than so per cent of the value OF the
property pledged. These mortgages are to be
the basis for debenture bonds, from the sale OF
which funds for the loans will be secured The
country will be divided into twelve districts
and the mortgages held by all will be security
for the debentures issued by any Each dis
trict bank must have capital OF not less than
100000, and may issue debentures to an
amount not exceeding twenty times its capital
Borrowers must be members OF local farm loan
associations. and subscribe to the stock thereof
TO the amount OF per cent of the loan sought
These local associations in turn must subscribe
20 the district bank in not less than per cent
of the amount OF their own stock. BY this
process in time the land banks will become
wholly cooperative.
II is not clear, however, how this process
is TO relieve the farming industry OF the coun-
try from it's present predicament as to financ-
Ing. The interest rate may be lowered at
least In the beginning, but the process of get
ting money for immediate use is not made any
easier, The greatest .problemauf the industry
today is not to secure money Cor purchase Of
land or for the making OF extensive improve-
ments. but to carry on operations between the
planting and marketing Of crops. This need
is not contemplated by the federal land bank
bill. and will leave the farmer still dealing
with the banker in the small town
The best recommendation the plan has is
that Il may serve to stimulate cooperation
among the farmers, for the purpose OF financ-
ing their needs. The mutual insurance com
pany has worked out very well. and the mutual
loan plan may yet come to be Of service. But
the federal bank as planned offers nothing to
the tenant farmer nor to the farmer who does
not own his land clear OF incumbrance.

The First Delegates.

The dispatches tell OF the election already
OF the first delegates TO the Chicago conven-
ton, one set from a Missouri district and the
ether from an Oklahoma district, and from
now on we will be having almost continuous
returns from conventions and presidential pri-
maries OF the first delegates two are said
t. be disposed 70 favor the candidacy Of Sena-
tor Weeks Of Massachusetts, and the other two
to be uncommitted, by reason Of the failure OF
motion to endorse Roosevelt.
IL is sometimes assumed that the first dele
gates are straws pointing the wind, and on
more than one occasion the psychology Of the
band-wagon has unquestionably been a potent
factor in piling up the necessary majority for
the winning candidate. IL will take more than
the ordinary prophet. however. to make a safe
prediction this time on the basis Of these first
few delegates, or even on the first presidential
preference primary expression when II comes,
because everybody knows, as The Bee has
pointed out that the surface contest is not
between the real competitors because those

Public Health and Private Action.

Concern incident to the prevalence OF grip
and fever in Omaha has started a campaign for
the conservation of health locally It is a
repetition OF experience OF ages God and the
doctor men alike adore-just at the brink of
danger. not before wrote the Autocrat, who
was doctor himself Sld knew something of
mans ways. The present suggested sanitary
inspection and other measures for depressing
disease are good, so far as they go. The Bee
would like to offer an amendment to the effect
that the future be taken into consideration as
well.
The preservation OF health is involved with
many community acts. and these must be so
regulated that safety will follow. Omaha will
continue In danger from disease until several
open questions. long pending. are definitely
settled. The most important OF these is the
collection and disposal OF garbage, debated for
years. and still unsettled. Until Omaha is
made clean and kept clean. the menace OF dis
ease will constantly linger This time viii
come only when q complete system for removal
OF household refuse has been put into successful
operation. Inspection OF schools, workshops
and all other places where people conEregate
should be thorough and continuous. Doctors
must assist In spreading the gospel Of health,
so that no consideration for an Individual may
become a danger to others.
When the authorities set the example. in
dividuals viii follow. and carelessness will no
longer invite epidemic.

emphasized the vital necessity OF prepare
