MCDONALD PLEADS WITH
 DEMOCRATS TO CAST VOTE

Talladega. June 1.-(Special. Us. F. Mcdonald of Sylacauga, who was a candidate for the democratic nomina- ton for Congress from the Fourth dis trict, and who was defeated by Maj. Lamar Jeffers of Anniston by small ma ajority has made public letter to the democratic voters of the Fourth district in which he calls attention to the fact that the republicans are wag- ing an aggressive campaign to win the congressional election on June <. He adds that they are pinning their faith on the hope that good percent age of democrats will not think it necessary tt vote.
 MT. Mcdonald closes his statement with an appeal to every democratic voter not to overlook supporting the nominee on the day of the election.

NEW CREDIT LAW LESSON
II Will Not Prove the Boon To the
Country Dealer As 1t Mas,
Painted.

Grain dealers along with handlers
OF cotton and other farm products
are already hearing more and more
about the new War Finance Corpo-
ration credit activities in behalf of
farmers. Congress lately enacted a
law which provides for the extension
of $1,000, 900, 900 in credit to assist in
the sale of farm products for export.
The War Finance Corporation is the
agency designated to handle this
money and distribute it. . n.....
OF course, cxaggerations of what
the law will accomplish already are
heard. But the country grain dealer
and the terminal operator will not
find it the boon that some of the
The St. Joseph observer. [volume] (St. Joseph, Mo.) 1906-1932, 1921-09-24

politicians are attempting to picture
it in their eaSerness to win public
favor. First. the credit will not be
extended except on GO per cent of the
value of the farm products offered as
security for the loans. Besides, the
rate of interest will be up to one and
one-half per cent in excess of the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank where the farm products are
held. This meansla ia per cent rate
in the Kansas City. Chicago and
Minneapolis districts. Such a rate
and the co per cent loan limit do not
mean any easy money.
No sensible individual expects the
government to be free and easy in
lending money for the conduct of any
private business, or even the agricul-
tural business. So there will be no
disappointment when the real facts
are brought to light about this
s1.000.000,O 900 farm credit law. 1t is
stated that nos only farmers and
groups Of farmers. but individual
companies will be able to obtain loans
by meeting the requirements of the
War Finance Corporation. A few
companies and association OF farmers
already have made application. Pa
cific Northwest interests are the only
grain handlers to seek loans on grain
thus far. A majority probably will
| find ordinary sources of funds offer
ing terms fully as good or better than
the War Finance Corporation.
Congress has felt almost under
, necessity to do something for the
farmer. 1t passed an emergency
tariff that did little or no good. II
enacted the Capper-Tincher bill that
has not helped farmers. And then IL
came forward with the $1,000. 900. 900
credit bill. It IL we'll for congress tc
attempt to help farmers in a sincere
way, but what 1t has done thus far
has been merely to adopt legislation
without any practical value.
In time the new credit law, as wei
as the other experiments of congress
will demonstrate to farmers the fulfil
ity Of seeking TO better their position
through legislation. Laws cannot lif

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-IIitting
at banks which profiteer on redis-
counts, and which misrepresent the
attitude OF the federal reserve board
to excuse refusal Of loans to farmers,
w. =. G.. Harding, governor OF the
board, has slammed back vigorously
at those in and out of congress who
have been complaining OF alleged re-
striction by Washington of agricul-
tural credit.
Governor Harding defended the
board from these attacks In letter
to Governor McKelvie of Nebraska.
who inquired whether receipts for
grain stored on the farm could be
made the basis for loans eligible to
rediscount and thus extend the cred
it facilities to Nebraska farmers.
1.-THE federal reserve board" re-
piled Governor Harding. has always
stressed the importance of sustaining
/ the agricultural and live stock inter
ests of the country and its policy has
always been shaped with a view of
encouraging member banks to extend
/ all reasonable accommodation to
those engaged in these vital indus
tries. ...
Reserve Banks Don't Loan Direct
"The liquidation which has taken
place, at least SC far as this liquida-
| tion is reflected in the statements of
the federal reserve banks, shows that
the reduction in loans has been main
ly in the large cities and in Industrial
centers. Federal reserve banks are
not permitted hy law to make loans
direct to individuals, firms or corpo-
rations and they rediscount only pa
per which bears the indorsement Of
a member bank.
Consequently, in order for a federal
reserve BANK to render financial as
sistance to those engaged in agricul-
ture or the raising of live stock, it is
necessary that the loans first be ne
gotiated with member banks. Neither
these federal reserve banks nor the
federal reserve board has any control
over the loan policy of any member
bank. We cannot compel a member
bank to make loan which it does
not desire to make. nor can we re-
strain It from making loan which
is not forbidden by law.
About one-third of the member
banks in the Kansas City district have
been very heavy borrowers in the last
year, another one-third have been
only moderate borrowers. while the
remaining third have not borrowed
at all. 1t is possible that the federal
reserve bank may have called the
attention of some OF the larger Dor.
rowers to the ajvisabillty of reducing
J their discount lines at the federal
} reserve bank, but in no case has the
: federal reserve bank undertaken tC
) say to a member bank Just what par.
ticular loans 1t should call or ask tc
: bo reduced"

Up to Member Banks

Mr.. Harding says it is for the mem
Der banks primarily. and the reserve
banks secondarily, to determine
whether farmers warehouse receipts
are acceptable as the basis of loans
and rediscounts.
Showing up the profiteering by
banks or rediscounts, Mr.. Harding
told OF III notes aggregating S1,O31.-
S35 discounted at 6 per cent for 81
banks by the Omaha reserve bank
branch September 9. On SO of these
notes the banks had charged the bor-
rowers 10 per cent. the Nebraska
maximum. 21 notes per cent, two
Sh per cent, fourteen 8 per cent,
thirteen IA per cent. five per cent.
two 6 u per ceent, and two per cent.
where a bank in Nebraska" Mr..
Harding said, sis able to rediscount
at tho federal reserve bank at per
cent per annum paper which it has
taken from its customers at 10 per
cent. the profit is 66 2-3 per cent. III
the paper is taken at . per cent the
profit is SO per cent. or II at per
cent. the profit is SO 1-s per cent.
Urges Lower Interest Rates
II sincerely hope that banks gener-
ally will recognize the fact that by
charging lower rates OF interest they
will be building up their own COM
munities and in the long run reap
greater profit themselves, than would
be the case II they should continue to
charge all the law allowed or all the
traffic will bear
'"rhe abrogat'on OF the progressive
rate has made It possible for banks
in Nebraska to make a large percent
age of profit on their rediscount tran
lUactions with the federal reserve
