TAX-FREE SECURITIES PENAL.
IZE FARMS

The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON has recommended to Congress
constitutional amendment prohibiting
that it submit to the several states a
the issuing of all tax-free securities
Farm Loan Bonds are tax exempt;
this has made them an attractive IN
yestment, Some farmers are fearful
that a prohibition of tax-free securi-
ties would work harm to the Farm
Loan System. When asked concern
ing this point, President J. R. How
ard of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, made the following ex-
PLANTATION.
| "There has been an apprehension
on the part of number of farmers re-
| garding the effect which a law or con.
stitutional amendment making all
bonds tax exempt would have upon
the bonds issued under the Federal
Land Bank Act.
"The lowest estimate which has
been made by competent authorities
regarding the outstanding tax exempt
bonds, Federal, State, Municipal and
others, place the amount at from 10
to 20 billion dollars. A reasonable es-
innate would indicate that at the pres
ent time they would total 20 to 70
billion dollars. There. is no way of de-:
termining exact amounts. The total
farm valuations at the last census on
land and building was $34 ,801, 1885,
697. Thus, if an acre Of land were
covered by tax exempt Federal Land
Bank Mortgages for two-thirds it's full
value it would only equal the present
outstanding sum of tax exempt bonds
Every farmer knows it would be i'm
possible to get loan for two-thirds
the value of his land. w.
"But, tax exempt bonds are rapidly
increasing and unless soon checked
will more than equal the values of all
farm properties in the United States

THE O'HARE CASE

I. The kidnapping of Kate Richards
O'Hare was a stupid, senseless, cow
ardly crime that ought to bring severe
punishment to the men responsible
for it. .a..gf
If their object was to advertise Mrs.
O'Hare they succeeded wonderfully
If they wanted to give her an oppor-
tunity to appear in her favorite role
of martyr, they couldn't have chosen
a better way accomplish IT..
Kidnapping man is serious enough
and cowardly enough, but the kid
naping of woman is even more con-
temptible and no condemnation OF the
Idaho affair can be too severe.
But if the kidnapers of Mrs. OHare
are punished, her husband who was

the American Legion. The first is
doubtless just a common lie, and the
second is vicious form of propaganda
from which the American Legion has
been made to suffer for the last two
years. Every time any criminal who

can Legion or who happens to pose as
one, is arrested, that fact is dwelt
upon and advertised. Nobody ever
mentions the fact hat the prisoner
happens to be a republican, or demo-
crat, or Presbyterian, or a Catholic,
or a Mason or a Knight of Columbus
or a member of the Y. M. c. A. Yet
if he happens to be member of the
American Legion an effort is immedi-
ately made to- the tie the Legion up
with this particular bit of lawlessness.
The stand of the American Legion
on mob rule doesn't have to be en-
phasized. Everyone knows what it is
or should know it. Doubtless Mr..
