CONGRESS COMES TO AID
OF THE FARMERS
BY a Vote of 212 to 81 Congress Votes
to Revive War Finance Corpora
ton to Save Thousands Of Farm.
: res from Bankruptcy.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Two definite
steps to stimulate the market and
check the price declines Of farm pro-
ducts, were taken in the house late
today through the combined efforts of
the western and southern representa-
tives, in downing opposition from the
eastern manufacturing sections.
By vote of PIP to 81 the house,
after three hours debate, passed in
amended form, the resolution Of Sen
ator A. J, Gronna, Of North Dakota,
providing for the revival of the war
finance corporation to aid in the ex-
portation Of farm products. The meas
ure must go back to the senate be-
cause of the amendment, which struck
out the section expressing the opinion
of congress that the federal reserve
board should provide liberal extern
sions of credit to farming sections.
The senate passed the bill early last
week.
Tariff Measure Reported Out
At the same time, the house ways
and means committee completed an
emergency tariff bill on farm products
in the record time of six hours. The
rates were placed so high that they
are expected to act as an embargo
against the importation Of the same
products.
The senate is expected to send the
resolution reviving the war finance
corporation to the president early next
week, and it is regarded as virtually
certain that he will veto it.
Votes in both houses, however, indi-
cate that it can be passed over a veto.
30 Per Cent Duty on Wheat Proposed
Representative J. w. Fordney, chair
man Of the ways and means commit
tee, expects to push the emergency
tariff bill through the house NEXT
week. Many of the products affected
are now on the free list. 1t establish
ed the following tariffs for one year:
Wheat, 30 cents a bushel; wool in
the grease; Is cents a pound; wool,
skirted, 20 cents pound; sheep un-
der one year 81 each; over one year,

pound; cattle, 80 per cent ad valorem;
wheat -four, 20 per cent ad valorem;
Corn, Is per cent a bushel; potatoes,
Is cents bushel; onions, 40 cents a
bushel; peanuts and beans, cents a
pound; rice, uncleaned, Ia cents a
pound; cleaned cents; long staple
cotton, Z cents a pound;> cotton seed,
soya beans, cocoanut and peanut oils,
20 cents gallon.
Republicans Direct Fight
Supporting the war finance corpora
ton resolution, Republican Leader +.
w. Mondell claimed that the recent
price declines have affected the farm
ers more than any other class and that
it is unwise to have such sudden de-
creases.
Europe wants our products" he
said. "The farmers have large sup
plies which they cannot sell. Private
capital cannot furnish the long time
credits necessary. 1t is up to the gov
eminent to aid. l believe no harm
can be done by the corporations re-
vival."
Representative w. F. Stevenson, of
South Carolina, and other democrats
from the south, attacked Secretary of
the Treasury D. F. Huston for oppos-
ing the revival of the corporation.
"This congress has appropriated
nearly $4,000, OOO, 900 for the railroads
and now there is cry against it set
ting aside far less to prevent thous-
ands of farmers from going into bank
ruptcy," he said.

Boys and girls of North Dakota,
thru the club work Of the Agricultural
College extension department, have
accomplished work that many adults
might be proud of, a record of the at
tainments of the 1875 boys and girls
who attended the elevents annual
Achievement Institute at the Agricul-

The accomplishments include doing
the sewing for an entire family, grow
ing tracts Of corn, larger than one
acre, and requirement of herds of

Illinois Farmers Strictly Up Against

The writer has received letter
from his old home in Whiteside county,
ILL.,, telling Of the situation among the
farmers during the period of read
justment. Land for several years has
been selling from 1925 to $500 per
acre. The letter states: "The farm
ers here have received hard jolt
when the rpices tumbled, and many
cannot pay out, especially those who
bought land last spring at high prices
and expected to sell something this
fall to meet their debts. Good cows
are selling around $50 where year
ago the same cows sold for $3.50 to
5000. Corn about so cents, oats 35c,
and hay $50 ton. Many farms
around here were rented from $12 to
$l8 per acre and there isn't enough
stuff on the farms to pay out. The
most of the sales are being held to
close out and to pay debts and all are
short. Those who can are throwing up
their farms. Some who bought at
$3.50 an acre or more are letting them
go back and lost their forfeit. In
1918, one young farmer bought farm
for 1925 an acre and sold it for $3.50.
The purchaser did lot Of blowing
and some repairing and just recently
let it go back, losing the 81 900 he paid
on the farm. Farmers are renting
their farms on the share, cash rent
now being out Of the question. There
were many farmers here during the
prosperous years spent their profit
during the prosperous years who
spent their profits and now they
don't know what they are going to do.
This is going to give the people new
start with slower pace. Two farm
ers lost $4,000 on 100 head Of steers
they had fed this fall
From the above it will be seen that
the North Dakota farmers are not the
only ones who are experiencing trou-
BILE. Many illinois farmers are inf
nitely worse off than our North Dako-
ia farmers. What one would have to
pay for North Dakota farm would
not make fair sized payment on
farm in Illinois, yet with a couple Of
good crops at fair prices, a North Da-
kota farmer can clean up on his land.
The Independent believes that the con-
dition in Illinois, which is identical
with that of Iowa, Wisconsin and
other middle western states, will drive
hundreds of farmers to ssek cheaper
land in North Dakota where it will
not require lifetime to pay for a
home. North Dakota offers the right
kind of farmers the best opportunity
Of any place in the world.

TRAFFIC COPS DON

BOSTON, April 26.-Members of
the traffic squad here donned their
new white raincoats and caps for the
first time. The main reason for
furnishing traffic officers with white
coats is so that night auto tourists
may distinguish them more easily
and also for their own protection.
In the past automobilists have eX-
periencer considerable difficulty in
seeing the officers through the rain
covered windshields of their ma
chimes.
the new coats are full length and
designed similar TO regular police
overcoats. They have six buttons on
each side and corduroy collars. a
special pocket inside is used for car
rying night sticks.
