A Kansas Comeback

good CONGRESSMAN might be a poor poll
tician. If there is any bitterness In
his makeup as a result of his enforced
retirement, he hasn't shown it and he
has rather shown that he is in no hurry
to leave his editorial job again. -Four
or five times, he has been importuned
to run for Congress or for Governor, but
he has gone right along editing the lola
Register He did take time enough on
to run over to Belgium last year to look
after the distribution of the Kansas
cargo of Belgium relief, but he went
at his own expense and he has not
sought to use the trip as an excuse that
he might circumnavigate the country on
lecture tour.
OF course Scott hasn't lost his 1nterst
in politics, that is in real politics. He
keeps pounding away in his newspaper
on political subjects much the same as
he did before he ever went to Congress.
and much the same as do a half thou
sand other country editors in Kansas
who have never been to Congress and
don't want to go. But they all want
the country saved. So does Scott. How
ever. he isn't obsessed with the notion
that he has to be in Washington to help
save the country, although he no doubt
entertains notions that he left unfinished
business at the national Capitol which
he could dispose of to the satisfaction of
a large Republican following if he were
to go back for-oh, say term of six
years beginning in about 1919 Such
notions would not be at all surprising
in view of the fact that a whole lot OF
Kansans are talking them out loud, but
Scott should keep one thing in mind
There's probably limit to the number
of times even as high class a Kansan
as the editor of the lola Register can
come back as country editor

CONGRESSIONAL

~ CONGRESSIONAL careers have
spoiled many good country editors
and ruined many successful coun-
try lawyers Ordinarily, when country
editor gets a taste of Congress he loses
his liking for the joys and comforts ana
blessings of his earlier career and yearns
for the bright lights and big rows OF
Washington. So when defeat comes to
him in politics, as defeat does come to
most men who stick to politics long
enough. he is unable to go back home
and take up things where he left on
when he took up the service of the state
Dozens of this type of unfortunates are

Kansas, however, boasts country
editor who has consistently refused to
be spoiled by a Congressional career
When Charlie" Scott of lola retired
from Congress-and it may be remarked
in passing that he didn't retire because
he insisted on doing so-a great many
of his friends prophesied that he woulo
be unable to content himself IN MS olu

have been good friends, but they were
bad prophets.
Scott has been editor of the lola Reg
lister longer than he has had reo
mustache, and that's quite some time
Incidentally, he was good country
editor who enjoyed his work and liked
his Job long before he had thought OF
going to Congress. When the good peo-
ME of his district indicated to him that
he had been away from lola so long that
he ought to come back, he took them at
their word and journeyed back to lola

are out a1Cer the political
loaves and fishes, and the
Congressman who neglects
them usually lasts one
term. But Scott has little
liking for personal politics,
and he never was a first
rate hand at placating the
politicians. In fact, his de-
feat is in large measure
traceable to his inability
to distribute patronage as
patiently and tactfully as
he handled the real work
of legislation with which
a member of Congress is
supposed to be primarily
concerned. A strict party
man, he had little patience
with the personal politics
and ambitions of men
whose friendship a real
politician would have cul-
tivated, and so he had to
come back to Kansas
But he has done a right

providing the total amount does
not exceed 80 per cent of the ap.
praised value of the land and 90
per cent of the permanent i'm
prOvements. When the debt is
paid, the stock is cancelled. Thus
a man holding two shares is paid
$40, the stock Cancelled and he is
no longer member of the associa

1t should be stated here, that
the appraisal by the loan commit
tees is not the final one. An ap-
praiser is sent out by the Federal
land bank to check with their
work and his report is accepted
as final.
Every farmer by buying stock
becomes a shareholder in his as
sociation and when the money is
turned in to the land bnnk by
the association, it becomes a
shareholder in the bank. These
associations being cooperative
in character, each shareh older is
liable for the debts of his asso-
citation. Such liability is fixed
by law at twice the value of the
stock owned by each member.
Thus, in case an association
fails, member holding one
share of stock is liable for IS in
addition to what he has already
paid for that stock. In this way
members take but little risk and
can reap the benefits of cooper
ative mortgage credits.
The profits of the land banks
go to the associations. While
the government is a stock holder
its stock draws no dividenes. 1t
is expected that the government
will gradually withdraw its hold
ingS and the associations will in
this way ultimately become own
ers of the banks.
When an association applies to
the land bank for a charter the
application must state that tenn
porary organization has been
formed. This organization
elects a board of directors of five
or more members and a loan
committee Of three members,

A loan committee of three mem.

cribed in his application, he is
eligible to become an association

also state that the desired loans

How to FERN a National Farm
Loan Association

Since by uniting to form a na-
tional farm loan association, farm.
ers are enabled to borrow money
from Federal land banks, it is es.
sential that they understand the
formation and operation Of such
associations. This is fully des.
cribed in Circular No. 2, recently
issued by the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau.
According to the provisions OF
the Federal Farm Loan Act, at
least ten farmers must unite to
form q national farm loan associa-
ton. If more than ten wish to
unite, 80 much the better; that
figure is set as the minimum, and
farmers only can become members.
These prospective members may
all be residents of the same CON-
munity or they may live in wide
" separated parts Of the same
county. They must, however,
all be men who wish to borrow
money on farm mortgages at 4, 8
or 8 per cent interest, the mort.
cages to run from 8 to 40 years.
To form an association these ten
borrowers call q meeting at some
convenient place and after dis.
cussing the subject informally, ap-
point q committee to draw up ar
ticles of association which should
