Changes Since 1910.

In most of its essential features
the bill does not differ greatly from
the law under which the census Of

important and many minor changes.
For example:
The census date has been changed
from April Is to January /.
A biennial census Of the products
Of manufacturing industries is to be
taken, beginning with the year 1921.
This win supplement the quinquen-

year.

as compared with the decenniai cen

ten-year intervals thereafter A Sim
liar provision was contained in the
thirteenth census act, but was after
ward repealed by Congress.

is the ever-growing demand that there
shall be decision, not debate, in the
peace conference. The world is begin
ming to demand some peace, any peace,
rather than a perpetuation of the
present condition. and in this situation
the President, whose word would be
OF compelling force, says nothing, has
said nothing. If he has a plan. as it
is necessary to believe, even in the
matter of the league of nations, the
plan remains unknown.
l do not desire at this time to seem
to criticise. 1 have been convinced,
and remain convinced, that the COM
ing of the President to Europe was
in itself and by itself a great contri-
button to the solution of the most diff
ficult problem--that of making at
least tolerable peace. We shall have,
am sure, a better peace because

we should have obtained II he had

Twelve regional tribunals with a
chairman appointed by the president
to be the permanent official and with
both capital and labor to have the
right to choose three representatives
for each dispute to sit with the chair
man.
Decisions of all boards to be unani-
nous and binding on EDth parties.
Provision for an umpire in case |;
board failed to arrive at unanimous
decision.
Washington, Dec. 20 = President
Wilson's industrial conference, after
four weeks of work in secret session
has suggested system of industrial
courts to arbitrate strikes and dis
putes between labor and capital.
In preliminary report to the presi
dent, the conference emphasizes thai
the public is the real victim of strikes
and unrest, and suggests a judicia.
structure with authority to enforce
cancellation between employers and
employees.
The conference advises the follow
ing constructive measure by ale
president as mean of coping with
industrial emergencies:
Creation of non-pOlitical ma
tiOnal industrial tribunal in Wash
ington to serve as supreme court
in labor disputes
Division of the country into IL
industrial regions, each supervis-
ed by a regional chairman as
representative of the public inter
est. with authority to call in
dustrial juries when Iabor-capitaI
disputes arise"
If labor and capital fail to com
promise. appointment of boards
of inquiry, which may become
boards of adjustment with pOwe
to choose an umpire whose deci n
sion would be final.
Decisions made officially bind
ing, when once reached, whether
rendered by the national indus
trial tribunal, regional jury, or
by an umpire.
The industrial conference in its re-
port makes clear that this tentative
proposed is not necessarily what may
be finally recommended The confer
ence suggests this plan in order to
stimulate constructive criticism bel
tween now and the re-opening of its
sessions on January 10.

How the federal farm loan act came
standing and nationwide need was
told in the United States court at
Kansas City by former Secretary OF
the Treasury William G. McAdoo. The
right and duty of the federal govern
ment to aid and encourage agricul-
ture was told by former Justice
Charles E. Hughes and former Attor-
ney General of the United States
George w. Wickersham.
Interest Rates Reduced.
AS brought out by Mr. McAdoo the
farm loan act was passed by congress
to provide ample funds for agricul-
tural development and agricultural OPP
erations. Mr.. McAdoo, who was sec
rotary of the treasury at the time this
law was passed, said that it was the
intent of congress to provide:
1. Plenty of money for the farmers
2. Low rates of interest
3. Long and convenient terms OF
credit.
Mr.. McAdoO showed how this act al
ready had reduced rates.of interest in
many and extensive sections of The
United States and had so stabilized In
terest that rates were now almost uni
form throughout the United States.
He showed how the federal land
banks were created in order that the
farmer of small means might have
~.,.o,1;4 80 borrrxx, Y,,ox1axy ~ 30 L.,
rates and on as easy terms as the man
Of larger means.
Protects Small Borrower.
He told also how the joint stock
land banks were created to protect the
farmer of small means in his right to
low rates and easy terms. He said
that without the joint stock land banks
there was grave danger that the heavy
borrowers would absorb all the money
which the federal land banks could
assemble and thus leave the small bor-
rover in much the same condition as
before.
The farm loan act also has operated
to make more generous everywhere
the terms on which farm mortgage
loans are made. The amortization
plan makes it possible for the farmer
to borrow the money he needs and to
pay it back in small annual or semi
annual installments as he is able to
take IL out or the soil.
Tax Exemption Necessary.
aNow, of the farmer was to get the
real benefits Of this act, said Mr.. Nc
Ado0, "if he was to secure plenty OF |
money and at q low rate. it was neces-l
sary that the quality and character Of /
the securities issued BY these land
banks should appeal so strongly to
capital, that they could sell on. parity
with municipal bonds or other tax-ex-
empt securities. Therefore tax ex-
emption was granted to the bonds of /
hese banks. Without tax exemption
he entire plan falls"
