Obituary

Violet, daughter Of Jason and
Lennie Lancaster, died on Janu-

She took pneumonia which soon
developed into tuberculosis. She
bore her sufferings with patience
which virtue had ever been one
of her many noble traits of char
acter. Violet was one of those
children whom to know is to

filled with kind and loving deeds.

FARMERS TO OWN
BIG LAND BANKS
George w. WiCkersham Tells
How Federal Institutions
Will Be Taken Over.
TO BUY GOVERNMENT STOCK
Eventually the Borrowers Will Ae-
quire Complete Ownership of Banks
Established Under Federal
Farm Loan Act.

That the federal land banks and the
joint stock land banks are important
supplements to the national bank sys-
tenn and the federal reserve system was
emphasized by former Attorney Cen
eral George w. Wickersham I'm the fed
eral court at Kansas City, where he
appeared with Charles Il. Hughes and
W. G. McAdOO to defend the constitu-
tiOnality Of the farm loan act.
Mr. Wickersham. who with Mr.. Nc
Adoo, appeared as attorneys for the
joint stock land banks, made very
clear the exact service which the fed
eral land banks perform and their
exact relation to the financial system
Of the country He also made clear i'm
what respects the joint stock land
banks differ from the federal land
banks.
Protecting Small Borrowers Rights.
Both types Of banks federal and
joint stocl) were created by the gov
eminent to provide aid for the agrlcul-
tural interests Of the country. Mr.
Wickersham said that the government
with wisdom and singular comprehen-
sion, had reached out to take care Of
every element Of borrowers. Therefore
the federal land banks were created to
provide credit for small borrowers, and
the joint stock land banks were ere
ated TO provide a similar agency
through which the larger borrowers
among farmers might secure ample
funds, without having TO rely upon the
funds which had been assembled for
the use Of the small borrowers and
without danger Of depriving the small
borrower Of the very money which had
been assembled for his particular use.
He pointed out how IN the case Of
the establishment Of federal lanG
banks the government had subscribed
TO the stock Of these banks as a tenn
pOrary aid to the particular class o.
borrowers It was intended these banks
should accommodate. But, he said,
this was only q temporary aid and that

stock which had been subscribed by
the government should be taken up
eventually by the borrowers so that In
the end. in very short time, the small
borrowers will own their own banks.
that is. that the federal land banks
will be privately owned in the end
even as the joint stock land banks are
now privately owned.
Federal Banks for Associations.
THE federal land banks do not lend
to individuals" said Mr.. Wickersham,
they lend TO organizations of borrow
erS, who together must desire at least
$4,000. and who must organize them
selves into farm loan association,
and they must subscribe TO per cent
Of the amount OF the loan which they
seek. I'm the stool; of the federal land
bank, as a condition to securing the
loan.
Provision is made that when these
banks are set up, if within a limited
time subscriptions are not made to the
stock by others, the federal govern
ment, through the treasury depart
amount of stock with which they are
authorized to start business, tO-wit.
$750,0O0!0O. Then. as they proceed in
their operation. as they loan TO these
associations, and as these associations
subscribe to their stock, by and by. by
the operations Of the system, the stock
which the government has taken is re
tired. and ultimately those banks come
into the control of their stockholders
Farmers to Own Banks
The federal government as a stock
holder, will pass out, and if the sys-
tea be successful, after a certain
length of time, the land banks will be
owned by the various loan associations
which are borrowing through the land
banks. and they Will 20 ahead on the
impetus of private ownership.
Having thus provided system
whereby this great scheme shall be
launched and become ut once opera
tive and money shall become avail
able to the farmers desiring it, the act
also provides that there be created a
different class of banks, namely, the
Joint stock land banks.
Following the analogy of the ma
tional banks, the act provides that
from the outset, those banks shall be
organized by private individuals. The
stock shall be subscribed by private
individuals, and when $25O,0O0,OO is
subscribed then the bank may begin
its operations.
Joint Stock Banks Controlled.
"Sincc the enactment of the law, %
Of such hanks have been organized in
different parts of the country, and they
are set forth in the petition, and their
aggregate capital is something more
han $5,OOO,OOO.
"Now despite the fact that those
banks are privately owned, from the
beginning of their operations, they and
their operations are subjected to CON
trol. They are invested with the same
powers, they are made subject to the
same liability as are given to and inn
posed upon the federal land banks.

Rotary was born February %, 1905. Four Chicago
men, lawyer mining operator the third coal
dealer, and the fourth tailor decided that day to
organize club. These men, drawn together through
mutual acquaintance, proposed series of meetings
their respective places of business.
The circle enlarged from other
lines of business that within year membership ofty
reached.
AS the time for each to act the host he gave dis
course on his own business that his guests might learn
something worth while regarding it, and thus broaden
their own knowledge concerning various businesses outside
their own.

The Rotary Platform

DEcoGNIZING the commercial basis of
TX modern life as necessary incident in
u y human evolution, the Rotary Club is or
ganized to express that proper relation between
private interests and the fusion Of private in
terests which constitutes society.
To accomplish this purpose more effectively
the principle of limited membership has been
adopted, the Rotary Club consisting of one
representative from each distinct line Of bust
ness or profession. Each member Is benefited
by contact with representative men engaged in
different occupations and is enabled thereby to
meet more intelligently the responsibilities Of
civic and business life.
The basis Of club membership insures the
representation of all interests and the DOM
ination of none in the consideration of public
its limited membership the Rotary Club does
not constitute itself the voice of the entire
community on questions of general impor-
lance, but it's action on such questions is of
great influence in advancing the civic and BUSH
ness welfare of the community.
The Rotary Club demands fair dealings, honest
methods, and high standards in business. No
obligation, actual or implied, to influence
business exists in Rotary. Election to mem
bership therein is an expression Of confidence
of the club in the member elected, and of its
good will towards him. AS his business is an
expression of himself, he is expected actively
to represent it.
Membership in the Rotary Club is a privilege
and an opportunity and its responsibility de-
mands honest and efficient service and thought
fulness for ones fellows. Service is the basis
of all business.
He profits most who serves best
