DEFENDS HIS vEToEs.

Inc governor In Vetoing $270 900
worth Of bills said he should have We
toed more of the bills. He declared
there were too many laws and that
many of them should be repealed.
The state has a million and a quarter
dollars in the treasury. $685., more
will be added when the taxes are COL
lected by the first of next January"
he said.
The audience was deeply impressed
with the governors statement that
since he has been governor the state
has saved nearly $250,000 as a result
of the state board OF examiners exam
lining each and every one of the two
to three thousand bills the state paws
each month. The governor impressed
his audience with the fact that his had
been a real business administration
and that he has saved the people of
this state over million dollars. A
great outburst of applause greeted the
governor when he completed his able
and convincing address. Many of the
men and women in the audience came
forward to shake hands with him.

as a substitute for cooperative rural
personal credits banks is an insult TO
the intelligence of the millions Of
American farmers. 1t assumes ignor-
anc in a class which constitutes some
OF the broadcast and best trained
minds in the country. Half the bank
directors of the West are actual farm
ers. and they are indignant at the as
sumption that they can be so easily
hood winked.
The rural credits farm mortgage
law (known as the Hollis law has
been exploited so preposterously as to
raise the most inflated expectations.
AS it contains a Dual system-two
conflicting systems bound to fight
each other-it is certain to prove
abortive.
There is the one system based on
cooperation of farm borrowers which
involves 4 government subsidy in the
purchase of all the stock, 5000, 900,

appeal to experienced financial inves-

inconvenience, for promoters are al
ready organizing an army of stock
statesmen to sell shares to farmers at
5000 each (par value $1,000. Farmers
have heard so much of the promised
blessings of the new rural credits sys-
