the farmers who are now having their
loans foreclosed, because the loan
companies and large estates now have
more attractive loans offered them at
higher rates Of interest and will not
renew at old rates Of interest or make
new loans at reasonable rates. There
Is need now for relief for farmers Of
the West.
1T seems TO me that the objection
to the tax-free feature of these bonds
comes with very poor grace from the
men who make that objection to the
passage Of this bill. There are ST.
00O000,000 Of tax-free bonds now held
in the United States, and of this vast
amount only $450, 100000 have been Is.
sued by the farm-loan system. II
| seems to me this is certainly a bad
time to cry out against the issuing OF
tax-free bonds whe nthe farmer Is ask
ing for less than per cent. Of the to-
tai issue Of taX-free bonds"

New York. James Curtis, Of 1855
Morris avenue, can boast Of being a
combination which is probably unique
in this whole country. He is preach
er by night and sandwich man by
day. The two vocations serve to make
him quite man Of the world with a
good working knowledge Of humanity
, at large. By daylight he walks the
streets, carrying advertising signs for
various material articles; but when
the street lights come on, he takes his
stand on prominent street corner
and advertises the gospel. He gets
good deal Of heckling from his street
crowds but he always departs with a
smile on his face and his hat half
filled with silver. Mr.. Curtis is 70
years old an dclaims that he has trav-
elled all over this country carrying
signs by day and preaching by night.
He came to New York in 1903 and has
found sufficient field here for both &C.
equations to hold him ever since.

tho amendment. Ten per cent. of the
school fund will amount to something
more than 100000. This ten per cent.
must be used for the maintenance of
the public schools and for no other
purpose; not even the Legislature
could provide for its use for any other
purpose. The amendment simpl pro-
poses that the Legislature shall have
the power to distribute this sum in
such a way that legal school can be
provided for the children in every

SHORTEN BANK PROFITS
ON LOANS TO FARMERS
House Votes by 234 to 90 to Raise In
terest Rate to Market Buyer
But Not To Borrower.

Washington, - BY vote of 23O to
20 the Republican House has put
through bill expediting farm credit
by increasing the market interest on
farm loan bonds from to 51a per cent
without raising the rate of interest to
the borrower.
Representative Strong, of Kansas, in
urging the passage of the measure,
said.
This bill simply increases the rate
at which the farm-loan banks and
joint-stock banks may issue their
bonds for two years. 1t does not in
crease the rate to the farmers 1t only
lessons the profit Of the banks, but en-
ables them to sell their bonds and OBJ
tain the money to loan the farmers of
the nation.
Ever since this farm-loan system
passed this Congress there has been a
determined opposition to it. 1t has
mostly come from the agents bankers
who are interested nthe farm-loan
mortgage business. They have an as
ISOLATION, and through that association
they attacked this farm-loan system in
the courts, and they carried It to the
Supreme Court of the United States
and tied 1t up for two years. They
caught the farm-loan banks and the
joint-stock banks with lot of COM
mitments; that is, the farm-loan banks
and the joint-stock banks had taken
applications for Mortgages and agreed
to make them. and in many instances
had placed the mortgages on record,
and had no money to meet the COM
mitments with. Congress voted $780,
100000 to relieve that situation of the
farm-loan land banks, but the joint
stock banks had no such relief.
They have been borrowing of the
banks throughout the country at 6 and
7 and 8 per cent. to get the money to
meet their commitments. The Supreme
Court of the United States having de-
clared the law legal upon which the
banks are founded, they now lone to
Congress and ask up to increase the
rate at which the law permits them to
issue their bonds from to 51s per
cent.
"Of all the tax-free bonds issued the
farm-loan bonds are the only ones that
are thus limited as to the rate of in
terest. Why should they be so limited ?
And when the Government is offering
tax-free certificates at 5A per cent,
therebymakin 8 it impossible for the
joint stock land banks to float their
bonds at 5 per cent, why is 1t not just
and right to pass a bill to raise the
rate in order to let them sell their
bonds and get the money they need to
meet their obligations and makenew
loans7
Whom will it benefit? Not alone the
farmers, because many Of the banks
throughout the West and throughout
the East also made loans to these joint
stock banks in order to enable them to
meet their commitments and this rails
ing Of the rate Of interest will Gamble
them tosell their bonds and provide
the funds to return to the banks Of the
country the advances which they have
made, thereby giving them that much
relief. Il will also provide relief for
