Editors note: These articles, Of
which the above is the last, have been
necessarily brief. There are many
details about the application of the
act that could not be recorded here.
The farm loan board has issued five

things that will contribute to more
production on the same acreage. So
the farm loan act means higher
and better type of agriculture.
But some students Of the act believe
its greatest contribution will be the
stimulation TO the practice Of co-opera-
ton. Cooperation is its basic fact.
Farmers are required to get together
into groups 10 secure its benefits.
When they put their mortgages to-
gether for the sake Of getting cheap
er money, they will also form the hab-
it Of cooperating in other problems Of
common interest. Who knows but that
these cooperative associations may
become the business and social units
Of farm society?
The financial saving to the farmers
Of America would alone be enough TO
Justify this enactment. On a volume
of $4,000 ,OO0, 900 our farmers are pay
ing now nearly per cent annually,
all Of which is a tax on all the people
because it limits consumption by han
dicapping the producer. If this rate
should be reduced by per cent it
would mean an actual annual saving
of 100000, 600. But this estimate Of
the money to be saved does not take
into consideration the fact that the
normal volume Of farm loan business
will greatly increase with an advan-
tageous interest rate.
The success of the farm loan bank
ing system is now up to the farmers
themselves. They have been given
the cooperative machinery to fin
ance themselves without profit to any
individuals. They have been given
the machinery for governing their
own financial institutions and main
tanning control Of them. So careful
ly is their ownership guarded, no mat
ter who buys stock in the federal
land banks eventually none but the
farmers may have voting power.
Yes. the federal loan act is some
what revolutionary. 1t upsets all past
practices in farm finance. 1t puts the
interests of the majority above the
interests Of the few. 1t gives the
under dog a chance. 1t writes
Humanity First" across the ledger
of modern business.

With the discussion Of these
rumors, speculation was rife as to the

Stainback has gone TO a class reunion
at Princeton University, where he was
a student under Woodrow Wilson.
Rivenburgh's wide acquaintance In
Washington political circles always
gives rise to plenty Of guessing when
his name is mentioned in connection
with a visit to the capital. Close
friends Of his today stated that they
did not believe there is any likelihood
he is seeking the governorship. Rather
the belief was expressed that he is
acting as ambassador for the governor
fon carrying through some policy
which the territorial executive may
wish pushed through at Washington.

WILSON HURRIES PLANS
FOR FOOD CONTROL

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
Food legislation is to be the first Or
der of business in Congress this week.
At today's session both houses will
take up consideration of the admins
tration's bills.
While the administration continues
to urge all possible expedition upon
the leaders Of both house and senate
and while labor organizations are
urging upon their congressional repre-
sentatives the passage of necessary
food legislation, it is deemed unlikely
by the leaders of both houses that de.
bate can be ended and a vote taken
in less than three or four weeks. AS
the heated term is approaching there
is a possibility Of speeding up, but
none Of the leaders are hopeful Of
this.
Chairman Lever of the house COM
mittee yesterday expressed conf
dence that the bill will pass the house
practically as drawn and reported out
Of committee but he expects that the
debate will be protracted and looks
for no vote before two or three weeks
at the earliest.
Meantime, under the instructions of
the President, Commissioner Hoover
will at once begin the organization of
