FOUR FARM LOAN BANKS
ARE URGED FOR THE SOUTH
Argument for New Orleans
Broadened to Include All
Southern States
fBy Associated Press. )

NEW ORLEANS, oct. 3O.--The brief
and oral argument Of New Orleans for
one of the federal farm loan banks, pre-
scented at the hearing which opened here
today before three members of the farm
loan board, was broadened to include
argument for the location of four OF
the twelve banks, in the south, which
was defined as comprising twelve states
North and South Carolina, Georgia
Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Okla
homa and Texas.
Members of the federal board conduct
ing the hearing were Chairman George
W. Norris. Herbert Quick and w. S. A
Smith, and arguments for the city were
made by William c. Dufour and c, c.
Gaspard, who emphasized points set
forth in the brief.
A number Of planters, business men,
city and state officials and inanciers
were present to testify before the board
in support Of the claim made.
Mr.. Dufour argued that New Orleans
be selected for q loan bank to serve a
district embracing Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Alabama, which lie described as
similar in climate, agricultural posi-
bilities and economic conditions. He
suggested if the board considered great
er area of population essential for the
district that Florida and Arkansas be
added to the New Orleans territory.
MIR. Dufour asserted the value of New
Orleans cotton receipts the past year
was s91 500, 900: that the value of New
Orleans annual shipments of all COM
modities to contiguous and feeder" ter
ritory was $1,12S,291, 426; that eleven
railroads with an aggregate of S0,543
miles enter New Orleans and the city
f. reached by 10000 miles of navigable
inland waterways.
lie also mentioned the city's system
or private and publicly owned ware
houses elevators, wharves and terminal
ABILITIES.
Arguing for the location of four banks
a. the south, Mr.. Dufour asserted the
south comprised 36.7 per cent Of the
-ouutrys total farm land, 4S.76 per cent
o. all farms and 39.4 per cent of the
countrys total rural population.
I'm eight southern ,states-Texas, Ok

DISSATISFACTION OVER
CONVICT APPORT|0NMENT
MANY Counties viii Lose
Practically All Their
State ConViCtS

Dissatisfaction with the new system
of apportionment of state convicts I'M
der the new highway law, which becomes
effective on January 1, 1917, is being
heard from the authorities in a number
of counties. although the law does not
go into operation for sixty days.
This dissatisfaction is resulting from
the fact that under the new system OF
apportioning convicts-by road mileage
instead of population as at present
many of the counties will lose practi-
cally all their state convicts.
Several counties are considering max
ing a test of the law in January and
it is understood that Ware county has
already announced that it will enjoin the
state authorities from taking away any
of its convicts under the new law. Full,
ton county may also bring a test on the
law
At present Fulton is allowed 142 fell
ony or state convicts-in addition of
course to it's misdemeanor convicts-
while under the new law it will receive
but nine such convicts.
1t is expected that a strong effort
will be made in the Legislature next
summer to change the method of ap-
portionment. This expectation is based
on the fact that SO counties will lose
convicts under the new law. while only
Sc will gain convicts. 1t is therefore
considered certain that the representa-
tives of those counties which will suffer
will support q change in the method of
apportionment.
Under the new law only mileage out
side of city limits is considered in the
distribution of convicts. Fulton has
500 miles of such roads.
Next year many counties will receive
but 4, and state convicts, whereas
under the present system no county gets
less than 10 state conVicts.
There are at present $500 state con-
victs on the roads, a gain of 1000 since
1910.
One of the principal subjects to be
discussed by the convention of county
commissioners which meets at Macon
on November will be the effects of the
new apportionment law.

gram to Pope that "the whole eco
nomic movement of the time" seems
to point to it.
The opinion in Washington today is
that demands of the President by the
railroad heads for arbitration OF the
eight-hour day question, therefore,
will not move him. The railroad
presidents already here have shown
little indication OF conceding this
point, and the new arrivals arc even
more vigorous in their assertion that
the concession will not be made. The
conflict would seem to be irreconcil-
able. but the feeling in Washington is
unmistakable that in some manner
the strike will be'avoided.
Representatives of the brotherhoods
now consider themselves more or less
on the side of the lines. It has be-
come q struggle between Wilson and
the railroads. for the time being they
say, and they are waiting to see how
it comes out before they again take
hand. Although there was nothing
on the surface to indicate the man
ayers or executives will do other than
stand pat for arbitration, there are
deep-seated rumblings around their
headquarters today that the councils
are divided on the point. and that
some counter-proposition may be
forthcoming.

the railroads before the good OF
the country" one official declared
