Considering Probe Into
 Ku Klux klan

Washington, Sept 21-Attorney General Daugherty and Director Burns of the Bureau of Investigator were to confer today concerning the necessity of advisability of seeking an investigation of the Ku k1ux Kan MT. Burns has been conducting an in- quiry upon which to base report to- day and in addition MT. Daugherty has recently discussed the matter with District Attorney Hayward of New York and several assistant attorneys general.
 Any federal action against the or ganization according to MT. Daugh- erty, would probably be under some statute covering conspiracy. He made clear, however, that on its face the literature of the Klan was not in violation of the law and what was to be determined was what went on be- hind the scenes.
 An investigation of Ku K1uX Klan is also proposed by Representative Tague, Democrat, Massachusetts, in a resolution which he has prepared, and expects to introduce today.

GREAT NEWS FOR NEW MEXICO

The final approval by President Harding of the
Agricultural Credits law is the best news that has reached
New Mexico for many months. That law fulfills the pro-
mise President Harding made during his campaign last year
to find a way to restore prosperity to the grain and livestock
producers of the west. 1t provides the credit that has become
absolutely necessary for livestock growers and farmers in
our state, if they are to work their way out of the hole into
which shrinking prices and credit contraction dumped them
last year.
Briefly the law provides for the War Finance corporation
some two and one-half billions of dolars-bilions understand
which may he used in carrying for banks the surplus burd-
en- of loans which they are now carrying and the volume
. of which makes it impossible for them to extend further cred
it to farmers and stock growers, or to meet the requirements
of normal business expansion. In some instances the War
Finance corporation may extend these loans direct to in
dividuals.
Bankers who have studied the law say that it will meet
all the present urgent necessities of the western farmer and
stock grower and that with the splendid range conditions
existing throughout New Mexico, it will mean a speedy res
toration of prosperity to growers of both cattle and sheep.
There is lust one further step that New Mexico needs
to take in order to get the quickest and fullest benefits from
this great act of congress. That is to send Bursum back to
the senate to look out for our interests in connection with
its administration, and to see that our farmers and stock
men are provided for as quickly as any others; for our need
for this relief is urgent. The law will be in actual opera
ton as soon as the machinery has been set up for admins
traton and accounting. This, it is said, should not take
more than thirty days.
Senator Bursum furnished the original suggestion for
this law in the bill he introduced when he first went to
Washington, proposing emergency relief for stock1nen
through the War Finance corporation. Later that sugges-
ton came up in the present law, but applicable only to grain
growers. Bursm enlisted the aid of western senators and
secured section "a, which extends all the provisions of the
law to livestock growers on equal terms with farmers.
1t is no more than plain, business sense to send back to
Washington the man who helped frame and pass this law,
and who at the same time knows how it must be administer
ed to be of greatest service to our farmers and stocknen.
Bursum knows. He is a farmer and a stock grower.
In their own personal interests, as well as for the well
fare of the state of New Mexico stockmen and farmers
should put party politics aside for the period of this CAM
paign and give their support and votes to swell the majority
for Holm O. Bursum, the man who has done the work for
them and who is the best equipped man in the state to finish
the job.
