ing advantage of the law. He
does not explain that the farm
ers will derive great benefits by
the decrease in interest rates. He
does not state that although you
do not borrow from the Federal
Farm Loan Bank, that you will
be forced to pay less interest to
private loan companies in the
course of a few years, because of
the large amount of insurance
and other money that will be
in competition with the Farm
Loan Banks. He does not refer
to the loan associations that are
being formed across the line in
North Dakota or the enthusiasm
with which the Federal Farm
Loan Act is met in other COM
munitle5. Mr.. Reed as we stated
before is too narrow to see any
thing good in any act of his
sworn enemies, the democrats,
and it is natural that he should
call the Farm Loan Act failure
before he even knows how it
reads.
The Herald has secured a large
amount of literature dealing
with the Farm Loan Act and
would be glad to answer any
queries received from parties
that are interested in the law.

Editor Reed of the Bison Cour-
ier expressed himself last week
in a splurge of English similar
to his scurrilous attack on the
newly elected officers of two
years ago, having for the brunt
of the attack at this time, G. G..
Carroll, states attorney. The
Courier uses as its basis for the
attack, the fact that Mr.. Carroll
is still a resident of this fair
city. The Courier alleges that
Carrel is violating his pledge to
the people made during the cam
paign. Mr.. Carroll stated in the
campaign that he would be on
the job if elected and Mr.. Reed
seems to think that this was a
pledge to tame up his bed and
HE himself to Bison on the first
day Of his term, regardless of
weather conditions, or the meth
cd of travel. The Courier be-
lieves that Carroll should 60 to
Bison and stay there whe ther or
not he can find a place to live
and whether or not he is able to
move his household goods. Mr..
Carroll has not authorized the
Herald to make any statement
but we feel safe in saying that
Carroll will redeem any pledge
that he makes and you can be
sure that he will do his duty by
the people of Perkins County.

Inere is a good deal of discussion
of the policy of setting up law Offices
for departments outside the attorney
generals office. Two years ago q
lawyer was provided for the banking
department and now 1t is proposed to
provide special lawyer for enforcing
prohibition. Many membersCe Express
the view that all of this law business
should be done through the attorney
general, allowing him as much assist
ance as is necessary to transact the
states business. There would seem
to be wisdom in this view. The attor-
ney generals Office staff now consists
Of his assistant and brief clerk and
a special assistant as advisor to the

bition 1t would afford q staff which

We are not quite certain
whether the legislature can pro-
hlblt the sale of veal in this
state or not, but if it can, we be-

prices for meat. In 1900 there

How to Borrow Money

above and containing great
deal of information for the farm
ers of the county. The only
thing that the Herald could see
that was wrong with the article
was that the editor had appar-
emily chosen a subject with
which he was not familiar. The
article referred to was lengthy
discourse concerning the recent
ly enacted Federal Farm Loan
Law.
We are loathe to enter into an
argument with the Courier, but
since such positive statements
are made relative to the law. we
feel that it is our duty to clear
up some of the misstatements for
the benefit of the farmers Of the
county.
In the first sentence of the
editorial, a statement is made
that is partially correct, but like
great many of the Couriers
statements, the sentence leaves
a person in doubt as to what is
meant. 1t says, '"To borrow mon
ey under the Farm Loan Act, all
the farmer has to do is to organ
ize a farm loan association. Of
course he did not add that the
organization of such am associa-
tion was very simple-in fact it
is as simple as the organization
of Farmers Club.
Secondly the Courier says: AT
least forty farmers must get to-
gether to form such an associa-
tion in this county as the loans
must aggregate $4,000 We
beg to differ here. While it is
true that it is necessary to have
loans subscribed agregating S2O.-
600 We do not believe that land
is so low in value that it takes
forty farmers to bring their land
holdings to a value of $4,000
which is all that is necessary to
secure $4,000 worth of loans.
Very few farms in Perkins Coun-
ty, that are farmed by the own
ers, can be purchased at less than
$40 per acre. Thus it would take
only 80 owners of the cheapest
land in the county to organize.
In his sentence, ITO join the
association. the farmer must ad-
vance cash at the rate of SIS for
each hundred that he expects to
borrow" Mr.. Reed discloses his
ignorance of the law. 1t is nee
essary for the farmer to advance
nothing. He merely subscribes
Tor IS worth of stock in the as
ISOLATION for each SlOO that he
expects to borrow and when his
loan goes through he receives SIS
worth of stock and sos in cash
for every hundred borrowed OF
course if he wishes he may pay
Tor his stock in advance but it is
not at all necessary. When he
pays up his loan he also surrend-
ers the stock for which he re-
celves the same amount of money
that IL originally cost.
Mr.. Reed goes on with his dis
course at some length explaining
the faults and enlarging on the
red tape connected with the law,
with view to discouraging the
farmers from organizing loan as
soclations. We feel sorry for a
man who is so narrow as to at
tempt to discourage the farmers
IN making use of law which
was drafted with a view of c,e
ting down the interest rates and
which guarantees farm loans at p
rate of 6 per cent or less.
Not a word does Mr.. Reed saw
that vii aid the farmers in TAX.

so MUCH GOLD IMPORTED
WORRIES FEDERAL BOARD
Congress Due to War Problems
Will Smooth System.

Observation-Disclosures to the
federal reserve act designed to place
the United States on a thoroughly
sound basis of financial preparedness
for whatever the future may bring
during the continuance of the war
and after it's termination have been
put into definite form by the fed
eral reserve board and soon will be
introduced in congress.
The chief unforeseen financial prob
lens which the country has faced
since the war started have resulted,
board officials believe, from the huge
gold importations, which have tended
to upset former economic and finan-
cial conditions, and the recommends
tions for new legislation are aimed
principally at controlling loan ex-
tensions based on these gold accre-
tions.
