bonds to investors.
BONDS AGAINST MORTGAGES,

When a bank lends money and takes
first mortgages on farms In exchange,
it issues bonds against these mortgages
and sells the bonds to produce more
money to lend.
The bonds issued by one bank are
secured by the assets of all the banks
operating under this system, and the
rate of interest on the bonds is ad-
justed by supply and demand. The
rate of interest charged to members
OF farm loan associations for money
which they borrow from the banks,
cannot exceed by more than 1 per cent
the rate OF interest paid on the bonds
This margin is provided to pay the
cost of operating the banks. So, If
the bonds sell at 4 per cent and the
cost of operating is / per cent, the in
terest rate to the farmer borrowers
will be per cent. If the cost is held
down to one-half of per cent, the in
terest rate to the farmers would be An
per cent
So. briefly, the members Of the as
sociations of farmers borrow from the
banks; the banks issue bonds against
the farm mortgages and borrow money
from investors; the farmers invest an
amount equal to one-twentieth OF the
amount they borrow, in order to pro-
vide an increasing capital for the
banks. and the whole process Is done
under governmental supervision and
without profit to any individual.

administrations of the department of
justice have differed over the laws in
depreciation. Various women's clubs
and other organizations have agitated
for an Interpretation to curb all i'm
morality, whether commercial or not.
Two other important questions rails
ed were, whether women were accom-
plices and, whether men might be
convicted solely upon woman's un-
corroborated testimony.
While Diggs and Caminetti volun-
tarily gave some testimony they re-
fused some further testimony and the
trial judge instructed the jury to con-
slider such refusal in reaching their
verdict Digs and Caminetti contend
ed that violated the constitutional
clause exempting persons from testi-
flying against themselves. The Ninth
federal circuit court, however, held
that, under various presidents, the
trial courts charge was justified, the
defendants testifying voluntarily but
only in part.
CONTENTION OF DEFENSE.
The defendants contended that con-
gress never intended to include, with
classification as felonies, offenses
which are misdemeanors IN most
states. but aimed the law against per-
sons transporting women victims in
conmercialized white slave traffic.
Although Attorney General Wicker
sham, in office when the law was pass
ed, ruled that it did not apply to per-
sonal escapndes. the succeeding adj
ministration held otherwise. The Sec
ond, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth fed
eral circuit courts of appeal have sus-
tanned the broader Interpretation, while
other federal courts have held only for
the commercial construction. i
TRIED AND CONVICTED.
Diggs and Caminetti were tried and
convicted separately, the former on
Aug. 90, 1918, and the latter on Sept
), 1918. Their cases were consolidated
and affirmed March IS, 1915, by the
Ninth circuit court. In the supreme
court all three cases were advanced,
both sides desiring early settlement of
the disputed questions, and argued to-
gethcr in November, 1916, Assistant
Attorney General Wallace representing
the government and former Senator
Bailey of Texas. Marshall b. Wood
worth of San Francisco and Harry o.
CHASER of Enid, Okla, the defendants.
Justice McReynolds took no part in
considering the three cases, being dis
qualified in having been attorney gen.
eral during prosecution of the three
defendants.
Upon the supreme courts decision
future prosecutions under the Mann
act are dependant, including several
persons under indictment and awaiting
trial, including Jack Johnson, the negro
pugilist, convicted at Chicago in 1913. /

in Europe.

AT OTHER PLACES.

The coal situation in this state is
not improving for loud complaints
were heard at the public utilities COM
mission. They came from the town of
Middleton in the Boise valley, Noun
tain Home and HALEY. Middleton re
ported to the commission ii was with
out coal and asked for some relief. An
effort was made to take coal from
Boise to that town. The mayor OF
HALEY telegraphcd the commission
that the situation was serious there
again and the superintendent of
schools sent similar wire to the COM
mission adding the schools were with
out fuel.
The Oregon Short Line railroad was
immediately communicated with. A
car of coal at ShoShone was ordered
diverted to HALEY. 1t will give tenn
porary relief at least. Representative
Cannon of Elmore county received a
telephone call from his home stating
that Mountain Home was without fuel
and he left for that place Immediately.
Up in Fremont county they are be-
ginning to feel the coal famine it was
reported to the commission. Coal from
the Utah mines is now coming into the
state again.

TWELVE BANK DISTRICTS.

The federal farm loan board is in
charge of the entire system. It's first
important duty was to divide the coun-
try into ~ bank districts and locate
one federal land bank in each. This
board also provides the banks with
temporary governing boards during the
process Of growth. Later a system of
cooperative self government will be
inaugurated under which the associ-
atoms of farmers will direct these big
financial institutions, under the super
vision Of the federal farm loan board
Each of the II federal land banks
starts business with a paid-up capital
of $750,000, subscribed by the govern
ment, if private investors do not sub
scribe it within 30 days after the banks
are opened. These banks have the
right TO lend to national farm loan as
sociations up to 20 times the capital
stock of the banks. The lending capac-
ity OF these banks Is automatically In
creased by requiring the farm loan
associations to reinvest in the capital
stock of the banks one-twentieth of
the amount their members borrow
Thus the capital stock Of the banks
increases In the same ratio as their
loans. The banks acquire additional
money for lending by selling their own
