Good Showing,

In this issue you will find the fl
nancial statement of the Peoples
Bank, made at the close of business
June goth.
The statement shows that the bank
is carrying reserve in excess of that
required by law, and has total re-
sources amounting to $36o,oo5.I5.
1t is pleasing to note that this good
bank makes such a strong showing
during financial stringency such as
the country is now experiencing.

Farmers Legislative
Program
BY Frederic ]. Haskln

| Washington, July "a definite
program of legislation designed to help
| the farmers, with an organized agri-
cultural bloc or party in each House
of Congress backing it, and a miliion|
organized farmers Clamoring Tor ITS
massage, is one of the most unusual
| features of the present Congress,
The tendency of the two old parties
to break up into small groups IN Con-
gress, each representing some deiinite|
economic interest, has been described
in n previous Haskin letter. The old
uarties are tending to lose their mean
ing. You may know that a man was
elested on the Democratic ticket with
out having a clear idea where he
stands on anything. But If man
comes out as a representative OF the
farmers, of union. labor. or of the
manufactures, you know at once where
he stands.
So far, the farmers seem to have
made most progress in this open, or
ganized method. They have made
known clearly their views on taxation.
the tariff, Immigration, and other ma
jor measures, and have in additionI
procured the introduction of a long
list of bills designed especially TO fav-
or farmers. The following partial
summary of the measures the farm
ers are supporting in Congress was
obtained from the office of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, which
claims to represent over a millionl
farmers.
A resolution has been passed
appointing a committee to investigate
agriculture and TO inquire into the
cause of it's present status. Accord
ing to Congressman Sydney Anderson
of Minnesota. the chairman of the
committee, the whole scope of the in-l
quiry can be compressed into the ques-
ton: What is the matter with the
economic system OF the country. if
anything, with special reference to the
service which it docs and ought to-
afford to agriculture?'
About 25 Senators and an equal
number Of Representative have joined
together in separate blocs to discuss
agricultural legislation and to try to-
promote the advancement of various
bills which have beeia drafted TO re-
lieve the economic pressure on agri-
culture. These Members OF Congress
have the viewpoint that agriculture Isl
fundamental and that il must be made
prosperous If the wheels of industry
are to turn freely. These blocs meet
separately and usually in executive
session, when plans are laid for action.
Road Bills.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is working very closely, with
both blocs and il is confident a num-
ber of other bills will become laws be-
fore the closing of this session.
The Federation has been making a
strenuous fight against the Townsend
highway bill and for the Dowen bill
1t contends that the Townsend bin

the worlds woolens are manufnc-
tured of shoddy, for only enough yir-
gin wool is consumed annually to pro-
duse one-third of the output. IL does
not object to the use OF shoddy but
it claims that the consumer should
be given the benefit of knowing what
he is buying. The Federation also
wishes 10 unmaslx the anas "all wool"
All wooi' of course may be. and
generally is. shoddy. The bin the
farmers are backing is the French
Truth-in-F Fabric bill. Hearings on
this bill have been suspended tenn
porarily BY the House Committee on
Agriculture.
Legislation on cold storage is again
on the docket. Bills have been intro-
duced by Representatives Haugen and
Hutchison and by Senator Freling-
huysen. The farmers are interested
in this legislation and in testifying
before the Committee on Agriculture
the statement was made that the Fed
Grafton wishes the bill 50 framed that
permission wfl be given to store
foodstuffs temporarily and in transit
without requiring it to be stamped
"cold storage" 1t would also like to
see the limit Of storage placed at ap-
proximateiy one year from the time
of production,
Other bills before Congress in which
the farmer rs are particularly inter-
ested are the Capper-Volstead co-on-
erative marketing bill. and bill which
would increase the amount OF indi-
vidual loans made by the Federal
Farm Loan Banks from $4,000 =
S25, 900.
The Federation will be. intensiyelv
interested in the very near futuc- :
a bill which viii be introduced to pro-
vide for the completion of the Wilso"
Dam at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and
for governmentally owned eorna-
ra ion which may operate the nitrate
plant for the manufacture of fertilizer
curing peace and munitions during
war time. The Federation approved
this project after sending members
OF their Executive Committee to visit
Muscle Shoals last April.
This session of Congress promises
TO write more constructive. agricni-
tural legislation than any other IN
recent years.
