$50, 600. 900 TO HELP CATTLEMEN

$4,000, 900 TO HELP CATTLEMEN
Financiers have at last come to
the realization that something
must be done in the way of help
for the cattle industry to keep it
from being entirely bankrupted.
At a meeting Saturday of the
livestock growers of the middle
west it was stated that it was
being considered to set aside a
fund from the surplus earnings
of the Federal Reserve banking
system of probably $50. 600, 900
to be made use of for the express
purpose of making loans to the
cattlemen.
This has finally become so far
advanced as to almost be fact.
J. P. Morgan and eastern bank
ers have agreed to raise half the
amount needed and the bankers
of the west are to subscribe the
other half This information has
been officially given out by the
department of the treasury at
Washington. The pool is to be
managed from Chicago by way
of advances to the banks in the
stock raising sections and through
cattle loan companies.
Interest is to be charged at
current rates with maturities Of
six months, but with the privi-
lege of renewal which would
make the paper subject to re-
discount at the federal reserve
banks. Credit needs of sheep
raisers will also be taken care of.
This news is, it seems to US,
about the most cheerful in the
cattleraising line that has come
to our ears for many moons. 1t
means that the great industry
that has made the states in the
southwest part of the United
States so important in the affairs
of the world will not be let die
through lack of the necessary
capital to tide it over its period
of depressions and need. The
pity is that there should have
been so much delay in the forth
coming of aid for the cattleman
and the consequent loss to him
of so much money and stock,
making necessary the loaning of
such an enormous amount of
money upon which the industry
will have to pay interest for the
next twenty years.
However, there has never been
a time in the history of the cattle
business in the great southwest
that the cattleman ever backed
down to any difficulty, and de-
spite the fact that he hasn't been
treated the best, he will take his
medicine and pull himself out of
the hole and no doubt come out
on top like he has so many times
in years gone by.
One thing that looks good is
the fact that there will be an
over-demand in the future owing
to the necessity of building up
the herds and the unwillingness
of the cattleman to sell if he can
be assisted in holding his cattle
and therefore it will be shorter
time, owing to the increased
price of cattle caused by this
shortage, until the cattleman can
get fully back on to his feet.
Every cloud has silver lining.
and here's hoping that the inside
of this one is solid gold.

But a course in college athletics conf
