DO FARMERS HAVE
TO PAY BIG RATE?
Drastic Laws Do Not Insure
Lower Interest, Says
Authority.

Since the passage of the Oklahoma
usury laws. bankers of this state have
protested that drastic laws would not
insure low interest rates in cases
where the risk would not Justify low
interest. and that no such law would
pe necessary In cases where the risk
encountered justified low interest
In support of their claim they are
circulating the following government
report relative to farm and city In
terest rates.
1T is the fashion these days to
assume that farmers are forced to pay
higher interest rates than merchants
and others. Take such a statement
as this:
Banks charge farmers higher
rates of interest than they do mer-
chants, because merchants take stock
regularly and know whore they are
at financially. Farmers seldom do.
result: High interest for farmers:
low interest for merchants. The
tanker lends money to Uncle Sam at
three per cent because Uncle sam is
sure pay. He charges farmers ex
crbitant rates because they do not
Go safe farming. Swat the banker
by making your farming business so
safe that he'll be compelled to give
you lower rate of interest
Now the spirit of this was not to
do injustice to bankers but to encour-
age farmers to keep accounts Bu-
what is the truth regarding the state
ment that 'banns charge farmers
higher rates Of interest than they do
merchants" Perhaps in some sec

about it-no attempt to substitute high
