For instance, If the man applying
n aid and seed grain to be planted
mon land already mortgaged TO
M for all it is worth, the seed lien
t,kes second, third or fourth position,
,cording to the number Of mortgages
mon the land prior to the giving OF
Se seed lien and the only way that
he seed lien can become a prior lien
i BY the written agreement OF the
nortgagee, which, Of course cannot
Il secured, and if in case the land
should be sold at Sheriff's Sale on a
fpreclosure proceeding, the seed lien
would be paid with the money left
after all other liens had been satisfied
md if there is not enough to pay
hen the taxpayers would be com
RELIED to pay the balance.
Of course the bond issue is bank
es life saver, and as the amount OF
money voted is only $500, 900, the lists
hat the bankers already have pre-
Ered will get relief up to the amount
d $500 after the applicants on the
list have made an affidavit to the
tact that they are paupers and un-
ble to get aid or help from the
bankers or merchants, and as the
amount that any one applicant can
get is $500 of which $500 will be used
y buy seed grain, $500 can be used
Tor horse feed or oil or gas, and $lOO
can be used for food and provisions
for the farmer, it can easily be under
saod by the drouth victims that the
AMOUNT that they will be able to farm
vii be very small, and it can be seen
W the farmers that of necessity, the
notes taken by the county will be OF
very questionable value, for the banks
haVe already more paper against tht
APPLICANT than he can pay and prob
any has the crop mortgage on tht
very crop which the taxpayers arr
furnishing the money to seed, ant
ne reasonable conclusion is that very
4te OF the money given as aid VII
ever be paid back, and the outlook i
nat the bankers holding the paper o.
1ese down and outs will be benefited
Y the labor of the drought victim
vi another year, and if the crops ar
poo enough to give the bankers a
ven break, the mortgages will s p
J aIeclosed and the drought victim
xA hl will be put on the bum u
VS. va OF this spring, and the banker
W "a saved themselves from loss
Inc basis of this bond issue is tn
lending Of charity to the sufferer
:: mn the drouth, which would not b
"%lectlonable if the amount furnishe
ss sufficient for all of those VIII
