THE FARMERS, CREDIT

The attorney general is reported to have said, in sub
stance, that a great deal of the paper which was held by
The Fargo Townley bank as security for large loans made
to Townley enterprises was not worth more than SO cents
on the dollar. Because a considerable proportion Of this
collateral is in the notes or post-dated checks of farmers
the Tcwnley publications are shrieking that an attack is
being made on the credit Of the farmers of the state.
The credit Of the farmers of North Dakota Is just
like the credit Of the men of any other business group in
that it is dependent on the willingness and the ahii-
ity of the individuals to meet the obligations which they
have assumed. II a solicitor were to enter one Of the
larger cities Of the state and accept notes or post dated
checks from all Corners in exchange for something which
he was selling, and DO this without any investigation Of
the financial condition or general character of the indl-
vidual. and were to go to a local bank with a %basketful
Of these documents. representing a face value of SIS each,
how much OF a loan would he be likely to get on them ?
Naturally. it would depend on the banker. But if he
were a real banker, conducting a business not only ac-
cerai1g to law, but with due regard for the ordinary
methods OF sound business, he would be told that the
bank could not consider such collateral in bulk at all.
He might be told that if he would sort out the straight
Eotes Of those persons who were known to the bank as
reliable men. and those men would personally verify the
transactions, those notes would be considered as the
basis Of a moderate loan. But he would certainly be told
that the bank was not accepting as eecurity the paper Of
individuals whom it did not know
In that there would be no reflection on the credit
Of the people Of that community. Nor is there the slight
est basis for the assertion that to classify as worth much
less than are the notes and checks taken indiscriminately
from hundreds or thousands Of persons, utterly unknown
to any person in tho bank, and who may or not be farm
ers, or who, for that matter, not exist, is any reflection
on the credit of the farmers.

! m SAN DOMINGO

S@ While the discussion goes on concerning the presence
OF unated States marines in the Adriatic. it may be inter-
esttng to note what our marines have been doing in tha
that the present government in Haiti is able to exist and
70 Operate only because Of the presence there Of some
400 American marines. United States marines are also
present In the netghboring republic of San Domingo.
Among other things. under their protection 600 rudi-
mentaFy schools have been opened in the country districts
of the island republic In which about one halt Of tho chill
dren are being taught.
Before the pacificatien Of the Dominican republic By
the marines there were practically no schools for thu
poorer classes. Even where there were schools, parents
were often afraid to send their children to them along
roads and trails infested with bandits.
Every village In which a school is located Is now
gueFded by marines OR the native "Guardia' commanded
by Uncle Sans sea-soldiers. During the school season
special protection is given to the children and their teach
ere with the result that parents are sending their chill
drsn5 to school in greater numbers than ever before.
We recall the passage Of no act of congress declar-
ing war on San Domingo. nor any resolution directing or
authorizing the landing OF marines on the soil OF that
business, and there they are likely to remain for some
time. The fact is that these forces are engaged in the
sort Of work for which the service was created, namely,
that of acting as guardians OF the peace in emergencies,
warlike force neither desirable and proper.

COLONIES IN THE LEAGUE

@ It has frequently been shown that the membership
of the British outlying dominions in the League Of Nations
assembly Will not disturb the equality between Great
Britain and the other members of the league in relation
to any important decision of the league. Those dominions
are TO be members of the assembly. but not Of the council.
The assembly is intended to be a deliberatiye, but not an
acting body. The acts Of the league will be performed
by virtue of the decisions Of the council. in which each
member. Great Britain, France. the United States and the
other sig, has one vote. The decisions Of the council on
all subjects which can be conceived to be Of ipportance
must be unanimous, and in any case they arc advisory
only, and the actual performance Of any act recommended
rests with the government Of the particular nation to
which It applies.
There u one partieulsr. however. ON which the han
guage Of the constitution should hare been amended be-
fore the document was passed on by the conference and
which, failing that amendment, shouid, for the SAKE OF
Charity be amended now. THIS is IN relation to the par
