Land Bank Loans ssss,6oo in Vermont.

The farmers of the first federal land
bank district, comprising the six New
England states, New York and New Jer-
sey, have received 2,298 loans aggregat
ing 1925, 295, from the Federal Land
bank of Springfield.
One of the most vital problems of the
eastern farmer for the past few years
has been the shortage of labor. 1t has
been estimated that at least IS per cent
of our national army was made up of
farm boys. Another great drain has been
the attraction of high wages in our war
industries As rehabilitation progresses,
as war wages become a thing of the past,
the boys will be coming back to the
farms But their point of view will be
altered II will be broader, bigget and
they will not be satisfied with the old
scheme of things. They will want to see
the farm business grow and expand. And
that will mean a fuller utilization of his
credit on the part of the farmer. 1T
takes money to make money" The Fed
eral Land bank--the farmers banks
here to meet the need More land, more
tools, more livestock, better drainage
heavier fertiliZing-these are the things
that mean more income, that will make
the farm more attractive to "Our boys.
The progress made by the bank is re-
flected not only in the loans made but in
the extent in which its territory is taker
care Of This is done through the Ma
tional Farm Loan associations, which
act as the go-betweens between the lane
bank and the farmers. These associa
tions are organized by the bank anC
chartered by the federal farm loan boarC
and their membership is confined to Dor
rowing farmers.
There are now l2s associations in tn
district and others are being constantly
organized The number of associations
together with the number and amount o
loans in each state, is shown in the fol
lowing table:

The Biennial Poll Tax Middle.

Editor of The Times: The customary
biennial poll tax wrangle is at its height
in the Legislature. This question will
never settle until il is settled right.
It is perfect nonsense to pass an 'un'
equal equal suffrage bill" Either do
away with the poll tax entirely for both
men and women, or place them on the
same basis.
Previous to now the legislators have
done themselves proud by giving us
presidential suffrage, we are hoping the
good sense of the Senate will save them
from spelling their splendid record.
The poll tax should not be optional,
hut obligatory. Taxes are assessed for
local benefits received Women and girls,
in common with men and boys, enjoy
good schools, sidewalks, roads, sewers
and other public Improvements If they
live in a fairsized town.
Women also enjoy police, fire, health
and legal protection. All these things
have cost somebody something, not only
in money, but time and effort expended
The above named benefits, which arc
shared alike by both men and women
are paid for by property owners in diff.
fering sums, according to the value oil
the taxable property.
Men owning no property are assessed
! poll tax, women 90 in on the dead head
| list" unless owning taxable property.
Bows and girls are educated on exactly
the same basis in the public schools, but
when arriving at maturity one gains citi
zenship easily and naturally, the othe
does not. Both should come into full
citizenship naturally, both should be as
sessed poll tax, both should be expect
ed to render some equivalent to socet!
for benefits received. This is in accor,
with constitutional provision.
AS matter of fact, the young mai
gains citizenship without asking for il
while the young woman must beg ant
tease, and poster the life out of legisIa
tors, session after session. expressing he
mind in varying degrees of fervent hea
