page s: Modern farming requires
capital in large amounts. The Amer.
lean farmer has the best security il
the world-productive land. This bill
enables the farmer to obtain capital
for productive purposes, at low rates
and for long terms. on the security
of his farm
What might be termed the text OF
the bill we find on page s: "He 1.-THE
farmer) desires the government to
Authorize a system nf land banks
which shall duplicate for him the ia
cilities commanded by men engaged
In manufacturing, in transportation,
and in commerce"
The committee knew what was
wanted and laid a splendid founda-
ton.
In recommending the Federal Re
serve law to congress, President
Wilson said: The pending currency
bill does the farmers a great service.
1t puts them on an equal footing with
other business men and masters Of
enterprise as it should"
But there was a superior power,
sovereign in legislation which said
not so; Nothing but disaster can
result from the confusion of CONNER
cial with investment banking prob
lens And before the bill was en-
acted into law, everything of that
kind was eliminated. President Will
son then promised that this would
be taken up later in a separate meas
ure, and l assume that the proposed
bill is the administration measure
providing for that equal footing"
etc.
Does the bill, in whole or in part,
redeem the platform promises of the
dominant parties, in favor of rural
credits, the implied pledge of Presi-
dent Taft, and the direct pledge Of
President wilson?
The American farmer for whom
this bill was intended has the capital.
What he wants is a partial repre-
sentative of that capital On "the best
security in the world-productive
land" for purposes of development
and production; a duplicate of the
system by which commerce and 9th
er industries can now borrow money
on commercial paper.
There is an important fact that
should have been considered, viz: An
investment system can be admins
tered for a mere fraction of the ex-
pense and risk of the commercial
system; hence the report might well
have said, instead Of the very in
definite low rate" a lower rate of
interest than for any other business
or industry. The saving in expense
of administration should inure to the
benefit of the patrons.
Is 1t a Duplicate?

proposed law duplicate the federal re.

HUM!
WHAT'S A HALF MILLION
To Lucky Strike" Doheny-He Won
That Sum on Wilson, But 'It's
a Mere Incident"

New York.-Even Wall street gasp
ed when it learned of half million
dollar bet won by Edward L. Doheny
on the election of President wilson. III
is some distinction to be the winner
of the largest wager ever made on a
presidential election, but it is a mere
incident in the life of Lucky Strike
Doheny, one of the wealthiest oil pro-
ducers in the world.
Mr.. Domeny, accompanied by Mrs
Doheny and a party of friends, left
New York today on his yacht Casiana
for a cruise to Havana, Tampico and
New Orleans. Doheny then will pro.
ceed to California to cast an electoral
vote for President Wilson. He was
chosen an elector in Los Angeles coun
ty, where he makes his home.
Half a million dollars is of such in
consequence that Doheny dismissed
the subject of the wager by remarking
cts a mere incident. If had lost it
would also have been mere incident u
"Your confidence in President Will
son must have been remarkable one
for you to have backed him so heavi-
ly," Doheny was asked.
"My confidence was no greater than
that of thousands of men who proba-
bly, could not afford to wager a cent
on the outcome" replied Mr.. Doheny.
Backing a man with money is no add
ed proof of your confidence in him or
your judgment that he will win."
Doheny has been doing big things 50
long that half million dollar win
ming means but little in his life. He
is president Of the Pan-American Pc
troleum and Transport company, a
concern which owns 100000 acres of
oil land in Mexico. This land is valu-
ed at $50,000,000 and represents rs
per cent of the oil producing territory
in Mexico. The company has in conf

ers and operates a score Of refners in
