SEEK COLONY FOR

Senate FavOrS Appropriating

JACKSON, Miss. March 10. (Splo-
Efforts of the Mississippi Society for
Mental Hygiene, made UP of many of
the states leading citizens, and of DIR.
Thomas II. Haines, field worker for the
national committee for mental hygiene,
which, is cooperating with the Mis-
sissippi society, to have the present
session the legislature to create
colony for the feeble minded and pass
modern laws for the commitment, care
reached temporary setback
After passing the senate by a large
vote, the measure for the establishment
of the colony is held up In the house
committee. II has not yet been given
a hearing, although DR. Haines and
other friends Of the bill have requested
that they be allowed to appear and ex
plain the necessity for the immediate
creation of such an institution.
In the senate the measure found favor
without delay, and some of the strong
est men in the body gave it their hearty
support. Not only was the measure
passed, but amendments strengthening
il were added, and DR. Haines and his
fellow laborers are delighted with its
success there.
They are confident that if they are
permitted a hearing before the house
committee and If the measure goes as
far as the floor of the Mower house with
a favorable report from the committee
back of 1t, it will pass.
1t carries a comparatively small APP
preparation with it-$200, 600 to be spent
in two years-and it is estimated that
the state is at present expanding in the
neighborhoOd of half a million dollars
annually for the care of subnormal
persons in almshouses, jails and other
Institutions.
Creation of the colony. according to
Dr. Haines, would not only put stop
TO this drain upon the resources Of va
riou7 counties and the state, but would
also remove heavy and needless bur
den from the courts, and put an end
10 the unchecked breeding of persons
certain to bring forth subnormal chill
dren. At present, this breeding Is
without hindrance, and even in county
Institutions feeble minded men and
women bring children into the world
hopeleSsly weak mentally, and certain
to be a burden on society If not to be-
come its dangerous enemies.

dent w. Fl, Smith, of the A. and NJ

ent of the state insane hospital; DR.. j
II. Fox its former assistant superin-
tendent; Mrs. G. H. Alexander, Mrs
Lizzie George Henderson and many
others, have given their fullest indorse-
ment to the legislation The measures
have been worked over from every
standpoint, and are considered SOUND
legally and scientifically.
Failure of the house to follow the
lead of the senate and take favorable
action upon the measure, would, In
the opinion of DR.. Haines, mean the
loss of much of the work that has beer
done in surveying the state during the
past IS months, and would delay Sc
riously the proper solution of the states
most pressing social problem.

FOOD AND FARM LOANS.

For many years il has been recog
nized that farmers paid excessive in
terest and commissions for loans and
that the period of payment Of tht
principal was too short II was not
so well known that the cost of food
to every consumer was increased b.
these burdens upon food producers.
Other countries had long ago pro
vided ample funds at low cost with
long maturities for their farmers.
Finally, in 1916, congress passed
the farm loan act, which was start
in the right direction. On account Of
the war, getting the full machinery
OF the act in operation was slowed UP.
Nevertheless, in three years some
100000 600 had been loaned at about
512 per cent interest, other charges
were greatly reduced and rCpayments
could be made in from five to forty
years, Not only So but this situation
forced private lenders to give more
favorable terms.
Each month showed an increasing
volume of loans made under the ia
vorable terms OF the farm loan act.
Private loan concerns knew where to
Eti ihp' MS 10 tAIt bliIg hDlllti :
where legislation can be vetoed by
courts. So a suit was started in Kan
sas City last August, attacking the
constitutionality of the farm loan act.
The lower court acted promptly ana
dismissed the suit Otc. 30. The case
was appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court and was argued there
Jan. s.
That court held the case under adj
visement and on April % ordered d
re-argument but set no date therefor.
Under its rules, oral arguments close
April 30 and the case goes over until
tall, unless the Supreme Court can be
induced to hear and decide the case
before it takes its usual summer va
cation of four months
A bulletin issued April IS by the
Farm Mortgage Bankers association
of America says; "In the meantime
the business of the federal land banks
and the joint stock land banks
tcreated under the farm loan acD
will be tied up, as at present That
is true and is just what the suit was
designed to accomplish. The plain,
tiffs will win even if their suit is held
to be unfOunded, And every farmer
and householder is suffering by the
delay.

INITIATING THE DOLLAR.

The rise in value of the German
mark, says the Frankfort Gazette, il
due to the refusal OF the Germans tC
import luxuries."
In other words, Germans have de
cided to get along upon the rea
necessities of life, food, clothing
shelter, until their monetary unit O
value approaches its pre-war standing
Germans are doing this because theA
must. That or financial ruin for al
OF them.
In the United States the dollar ha,
become the half dollar in purchasing
power Possibly it can be boosted t
its lOO-ccnt value by denial in Tho
