If a party abused its power-it is the

if the democratic party abuses its
power in this state the republicans
will assume control just as sure as

non bipartisan feature of this meeting.
The non bipartisan spirit fs a good one.
Il don't believe in capital punish
ment for bank robbery. Two years
ago We appropriated $4,000 to be
used by the governor as rewards for
the arrest Of bank robbers. The gov
eruor has not offered enough rewards.
They should he made $1,000 in each
case. What incentive has an officer
to go ont and risk his life to catch
bank robber. when a mcasly little
5000 or $500 is all that he will get?
\ man with a family Is not going to
take that chance for such a paltry
sum- You've got TO catch the robber
before YOU can electrocu,e him. Tho
fault in the case does not lie in the
legislature but in the executive Of

House Passes Rural Credits.

The Glass rural credits bill provid-
ing for a federal farm loan board
and system of 12 land banks passed
the house by vote of 295 to 10. A
similar measure already has passed
the senate, and the differences proba-
bly, will be worked out soon in con-
ference.
Little opposition was encountered
by the bill, which was piloted through
the house by Representative Glass of
Virginia, and Representative Phelan
of Massachusetts. Under it's terms
the land banks would lend money
to farmers at not more than 6 per
cent interest through local associa-
tions, mortgages running from to
SO years. The mortgages would be
used by the banks as the basis for
farm loan bonds.
There are many differences be-
tween the senate and house bills to
be adjusted. The senate measure
would capitalize each farm loan bank
at 100000; the houses at $750,000
The senate would authorize loan as
sociations with unlimited liability;
the house would not The senate
would limit loans on lands at so per
cent with no recognition of improve
ments; the house proposes to grant
60 per cent on land values and 90
per cent on value on permanent in
surable improvements.
The senate proposes that no loan
shall be made if the three members
of the local loan committee are not
unanimous in their appraisement; the
house would require a majority re-
port of the committee. The senate
makes the minimum loan $500; the
house 500. The senate would charge
borrowers 10 per cent interest on all
defaulted payments; the house would
charge only contract rates.
The senate would require local as
sociations to make good all defaults
within 30 days after notice from a
land bank; the house would provide
special reserve. to protect. associa-
tons.
