Offer of du Pont Company.

Counsel for the du Pont Powder
Company has informed the War De-
partment that the company stood ready
to build such plant for production of
nitric acid for manufacturing explo-
sives and would sell the product to the
government at prices to be fixed by the
Secretary of War, if Congress would
provide legislation making the project
practicable A letter renewing this Of
fer was read to the Senate. In response
to a question by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, Senator Salisbury said that the
bill he introduced was prepared by the
du Point Powder Company.
Senator Underwood attacked the du
Pont Powder Company and its agents.
charging them with exerting powerful
influences to defeat such legislation be-
cause of a desire to control all the
powder business in the United States,
and to prevent the government from
entering the field. In this connection
he declared that Hudson Maxim.
member of the navy's civilian advisory
board was consulting adviser for the
du Pont Company, and as such had
characterized congressman who fought
for a government nitrate plant as pork
barrel politicians"

United States Dependence on Chile

y u1teO States OepeHueuCe on SQ1le.
The United States was dependent on
Chile for nitrogen. and the establish
ment of an air nitrogen industry for
defense In war Is a national need. Sen
ator Underwood said. He also pointed
out that cheap fertilizer was necessary
to a cheap food supply. and Congress
should see to it that cheap fertilizer
was put within the reach of all.
Senator Underwood said the United
States would need 10000 tons annually
in time of war. To produce this would
require 100000 TO 125.G00 horsepower.
Unless the government ascertained at
once places where SO much power
could be produced. private corpora
tions would secure these sites.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire,
referring to hearings before the Senate
agriculture committee on the bill of
Senator Smith of South Carolina TO ap-
propriate s15,000,000 for development
of five government nitrate plants, said
he understood there were only two
available sites in the United States for
such a purpose.

speaking for his own interests and
those of his employers" Senator In
derwood declared. II do not wish to
make charges against a big corpora
ton. The du Pont Powder Company is
in legitimate business and naturally
does not want the government to com
pet with it. 1t wishes to control all
the powder business of the country. 1t
has a right to have its agents here at
tempting to defeat my proposal, but
the Senate of the United States has no
right to permit the du Pont Powder
Company to defeat this legislation"
Senator Underwood also declared that
Hugh Cooper of Minnesota, another
consulting engineer of the du Pont
Company, came to Washington when
the nitrate provision was being fought
in the House during consideration of
the army bill and used his influence
against the measure.
Mr. Cooper declared that this pro-
posal never could be enacted into law"

the agricultural wealth of their coun-
try, because they could not get essen
tial credits. 1t was also shown that

per annum, and it was difficult always
in most of the States to secure mort
cages on farms even where the securl-
ty was unquestionable.
This really splendid piec of benefl-
cial legislation, ranking, as it does,
with the Federal Reserve Act, and
making farm credit as available to
the farmer as to the business man OF
the country, is denounced by the Re-
publican party in it's platform adopted
at Chicago in June. 1915, in the follow
ing language: eve favor an effective
system of rural credits as opposed to
the ineffective law proposed by the
present Democratic administration"
Will Mr.. Hughes, if elected, repeal
this Federal Farm Loan Act? II he
stands by his party's platform he must
either repeal this legislation or sub
stitute something for it. Are the farm
ers of this country, who have fought
for fully century to get rural cred
it's bill, going to turn the Democratic
party out of power just as they have
won their great victory, and the banks
are actually being established, and put
in power an administration which is
hostile to this great law?

ONE GREAT ISSUE TO BE MET.

(By C. e. Broughton, Sheboygan
Press).
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, has kept us out of war
despite the cries of those who would
supplant him in the white house, and
it argues well for his Judgment. He
has given to this country prosperity
and the only argument advanced
against this is that after the war this
prosperity will cease.
A man who can bring about pros
perity when half the world is on fire
with war, when the best blood of Eu-
rope is being Slapped out by the terrific
onslaughts of the enemy, will be able
to cope with this question of pros
perity in the days when peace reigns.
On the other hand, a guarantee of
prosperity in the years to come, with
the prospect of war an asset that Can
didate Hughes and War Lord Roose-
welt would invite Immediately upon

A REPUBLICAN EDITORS REASON
FOR SUPPORTING DEMOCRAT
&c CANDIDATES.

Edgerton, Wis, Oct. 10, 1916.
Publicity Bureau,
Democratic State Central Committee,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Dear Sirs:
Speaking for myself, I am a Pro-
gressive Republican. | have opposed
the Philip Administration strenuous
ly, and am now SO doing. I believe
that two more years of the Philip
idea in Wisconsin will set the state
back more in political justice than can
be redeemed by the common people in
quarter of century. Phillip has
taken commissions which are the bull
wark of the rights of citizens, and
shown how they may be moulded so
that they become the greatest menace
to public rights. I am willing to give
him credit for honesty; but with some
minds, honesty consists in advocating
special privilege laws, and administer
ing those already on the statute books.
SO that the many suffer for the benefit
of the few. It is here that have
grouped the whole Phillip administers
ton. For that reason, / am heart and
soul with Burt Williams in his cam
paign. l hope he will win, and shall
do all can to secure others to vote
for him.
AS for Wilson: have not under
stood all his acts. ! have understood
the grave situations which the Country
has faced during his term. have
read of the oceans of blood spilled in
Europe, and think know something
OF the bitterness and hate which all
Europe is experiencing. That this
same hatred and excitement and thirst
for blood has crossed the Atlantic,
and has had its expression partly in
the bitter denunciation of Wilson, is
as plain to me as that Lincoln should
have been the innocent target of criti-
cism, which we in 1916 are ashamed
Of, and shudder to read. Hon. j. @.
Emery told me personally few days
ago that he remembered as if but a
day before, the gloom that he expert
enced in 1868, as he, then young
man drove to his polling place in the
town of Rutland, Dane County, to vote
for Lincoln. He said that the bitter
denunciation all but made him lose
faith in humanity, and he actually felt
that the catastrophy of the defeat Of
that mighty president was porten-
tious possibility. The bloodshed of
the civil war brought into play all the
lowest, vilest, and most unthinkable
thoughts of men, and Lincoln was the
target for most of it. In 1916 the same
motives are in the hearts of men. And
Wilson is the present target. But as
the sense of justice and fair play was
then 1863 in the majority, so hope
that today, the voters of this country

My Dear Sir
You ask for statement of why
am for Wilson. Here goes:
| am for Woodrow Wilson because
am too good an American to be OPP
posed to him. he is the greatest pres
ident America has had since Lincoln.
He has conducted us with wonderful
foresight and insight through probab-
ly the most distressing period in the
worlds history and one which might
easily have involved the United States
in such way as to make it one of the
most, if not the most, distressing per-
iods in our national history. If it is
foolish to change horses in the middle
of the stream it can. be nothing short
of insanity to even think of changing
horses when crossing a torrent.
Quite aside from our relation to the
world and viewing our internal prob
lens alone, no president has ever
given us anything like as much help
full, constructive, forward looking Leg
islatior as has President Wilson. Ha
has done more for the people in four
years than the Republican party has
done in forty. AS say, I am too good
an American to be against him.
am for Burt Williams for governor
because, in the first place Governor
Philip is false alarm and the sad
dest political accident that ever hap
pened to Wisconsin He does not
know what democracy means, either
with a big or little Cd. Government
of the people, for the people and by
the people is something entirely for
eign to his understanding. Burt Will
liams is the antithesis of Phillip. Burt
Williams believes in running the state
government in the interests of the
people and he is willing to fight to that
end He is progressive, aggressive
and eager to serve the present and to
assure the future of right inheri-
lance.
Every voter, irrespective of party
should vote for Woodrow Wilson for
president, and Burt Williams for gov
ernor. Very cordially yours,

THE FEDERAL
LOAN BOARD
What 1t Means to the Farmer-First
Report by Members of the
Board.

The following signed statement was
given out by the Federal Farm Loan
Board on it's return to Washington,
D. c., after tour of the following
named states:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana. Washington, Idaho,
Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Wy
oming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky.
Ohio.
In all, the Board conducted twenty
seven hearings, concluding at Column
bus, Ohio, on the 9th of September.
These hearings were largely attend
ed by actual farmers and representa-
tives of farm organizations, by repre-
sentatives of agricultural colleges in
the various states, by bankers, bust
ness men, and county agent or farm
experts operating under the Smith
Lever Extension Act.
The keenest interest in the Federal
Farm Loan Act was manifested by
farmers and every class Of people in
the communities visited. The law was
universally approved by farmers, bust
ness men and bankers, who assured
the Board of their cooperation.
The need for the Federal Farm Loan
Law was especially emphasized by
the wide inequalities in interest rates
disclosed in the hearings, these rates
ranging from per cent per annum to
per cent per month; by the fact
that even where interest rates of or
per cent were charged, commissions
also were exacted ranging from a fat
rate of / to 2 per cent, to rate of
from 1 to per cent per annum, on
loans. In cases where 5 year mort
cages were made, the commissions, at
per cent per annum, amounted to Is
per cent of the principal sum bor-
rowed, and this amount was deducted
when the loan was effected, SO that
the borrower got the use of only IS
per cent of the principal and paid at
the rate of 6 per cent per annum on
the full amount of the loan. In addi-
ton to these charges, the borrower
has to pay for the abstract of title,
frequently quite costly, as well as for
the preparation of legal papers, re-
cording fees, etc.
The excess cost of mortgage loans
on farms and the short terms for
which they can be secured, have had
a serious and injurious effect upon
farm development and productivity. 1t
was shown in every state visited that
even the Industrious farmer of modest
means who had only a small farm but
who could offer unquestionable secur-
ity, was unable to get farm credit on
any terms. Nearly all loan companies
or corporations have an arbitrary rule
