condition Of The legislature today?
We find the Senate, that is midtown
ley, ready and willing to carry out
the provisions Of the League program
regarding terminal elevators, state
owned grist-mills for experimental
purposes, state hail insurance, rural
credits and other measures. Senate
bill No. y, BY Kirkeide, provided for
the loaning 81 school funds On farm
lands at the rate Of five. per cent in
.'terest, payable annually, loans to run
twenty-five years, but with the priv
ilege Of payingsfohr per cent Of the
principal at any interest date. Here
was a bill that would give the farm
er cheap money and easy payments
and at the same time, absolutely safe
guard the State's large school fund.
The Senate looked upon it as one Of
the most meritsriionis measures: in the
present Legislative assembly .snd il
met with but little opposition. But
what happened IL the bill when it was
transmitted 70 the House? Now, one
would naturally think that this ibll
would pass the house with an aim >st
unanimous vote, as the League has
over seventy-fve Of the hundred and
thirteen members. But it never
reached the point Of being placed on
final passage. Il was sent to the
bone-yard by the secret caucus in
which non-members dictate. And the
Townleyites in tie House meekly
submitted. FarmeTisss throughout the
State will not only be disappointed
but amazed at the action Of the House
on this measure. But Il they have
studied the Townley methods they
should not be surprised. The only
reason for the Townley opposition
was that the bill was safe and sane.
It would .material1yv benefit the farm
er who farms. But its provisions
made it. possible to 9et cash from this
vast school funds 81 farm lands only
and not on Townleys fiat. Under the
provisions Of the bill there would be
no chance for the League bosses to
grab the States school fund and use
it in promoting get-nich-quick
schemes. There is not question ABOUT
the cause Of the biil,s defeat in the
