THE BONUS VETO

Editor National Leader: Warren G.
Harding has vetoed the veterans ad-
justed compensation bill. How strange
that this commonplace man has
law given power that. says mo" to
the will of the American people as ex-
pressed by 80 per cent of the house
and 63 per cent Of the senate. Twelve
states have voted by referendum on
state compensation with exactly SINH
lar majorities, lowest 63 per cent and
highest 80 per cent. It is emphatically
the peoples will, yet this man was
almost unknown outside his own state
until half dozen big-business, old
guard Republican senators picked him
at Washington dinner as the man
they would spring on the tired out
national Republican convention.
The reasons he gives are not his,
but the voice of Wall street refusing
to give up any Of it's Benedict Arnold
war profits. The war draft gave the
soldier no voice in the matter Of
service or rate of pay. The stay-at-
homes got an enormous profit and
high wages. With the exception of
big business, as expressed by Wall
street and the United States Chamber
Of Commerce, the stay-at-homes are
willing and ready to divide with the
soldier.
It is easy to see who has access to
the ear of the president,

FIND VALUE MEASURE!

Editor National Leader: The only
hope of preventing economic disaster
lies in our being able to, find me-
dium of exchange free of the charge
of interest for it's use. We, the work.
ers Of the 'world, have and create all
the wealth of the world. The other
man has taken upon himself to con-
troll and monopolize the commodity
we are pleased to use as medium
of exchange. The same effects would
be produced if any other commodity
were used as the measure of value.
Should wheat at any price per bu-
shell be- nominated as the unit of
value the farmer would produce wheat
until he was out of debt, then what?
He would quit raising wheat and pro-
duce something Of more value. It
would be just the same with gold if
we could only find an unlimited sup
ply. We would produce it until our
present debts were paid then it's buy
ing power would disappear and we
would be looking for something of
more stable value.
If we had a medium of exchange
founded on a scientific measure of
value, our present banking system
would function normally and correct
ly. All who had wealth could get
what money they required to rep
resent that wealth at nominal charge
and be able to exchange it for the kind
Of wealth they needed.
This Sc we'll ;I1,,e+ro+oJ b1, 4l,o e,ol
that-I have $4,000 of value tied up
in land representing the saving of go
years. I can not get the use of a
medium of exchange without paying
the banker for the use of money more
than the same money will produce
from the land and keep the /loborer
in a decently fit condition to work.

ously.

druggists should make that much.

Land
BANKREDUCES
INTREST RATE

The Northern Investment Co. of
this city, which has the agency for
the Federal Land Bank of St. Paul,
has been advised that the interest rate
on all farm loans by the land bank
after June will be 1-2 per cent jim
stead Of six per cent as had been the
case during the past two years or
more. The reduced rate is caused by
the fact that the bank is able to sell
its bonds bearing lawer rate of in
terest than. what was possible here
tofore when money was more tight.
This will be welcome news to all
farmers in the Lake Region who now
have applications for loans on file, or
who are planning on making federal
loan as soon as their present loans
are due.
Col. Jos. M. Kelly, president of the
Northern Investment Co., here, told
us that during the past year or more
only a limited number of loans could
be made by each agency, and appli-
cations filed now would probably not
be acted upon until next fall, but that
as money loosens up in the east, and
the bonds are sold more readily, he
is satisfied that the land bank will be
ready to accept all applications and
act upon them with the least possible
delay. This should be the case within
year.
There are several big advantages in
obtaining federal loan over the old
private loan, and this ha sheen proven
more during the past two years than
ever before. For one thing the in
terest rate is lower, but the principal
reason is the fact that politics and
tsholt crops have nothing to do with
the government. The private loans
made in the state during past years
mostly came from widows and estates
that had money to loan out. Short
crops and political trouble caused this
money to be withdrawn from the state
at just such time as it was needed
here the most, and caused the farmers
no end of hardships. Long time federal
loans will not be effected this way
and there will be no withdrawals on
account of local trouble.
At the present time the Federal
Land Bank at St. Paul owns 25 pei
cent Of all the farm loans in it's dist.
rict, and Mr.. Kelly opine that within
the next two years this bank together
with the Bank of North Dakota will
own so Der cent of such 1oane in +hc
state, and eventually own most ot
them. The War Finance Corporation
now owns a big portion of the chattl,
loans of the state, and if the system
is continued will own most of then
here. The farmer will have little tt
work about after the government
gets control of most of the loans made
and the private loan sharks are prett,
much put out of business.

WELSH TUNES HAVE SURVIVED
Traditional Melodies Still in Use.
Though They Have Not Been
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
a place in the services of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster.
The attention of DIR. r. D. Terry, the
organist of the cathedral, was drawn
to the tunes some years ago by David
Lloyd George. At service of benedic7
tion recently the 20 Salutaris hostia"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter is one Of the
prime minister's favorites.
"These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told
London Daily Mail reporter. "Many
of them date from the pre-Reforma
tion period. For centuries they were
not written down, but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unaccom-
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another
"Many of them have been recovered
and published in Welsh. hymnals, but
unhappily in too many cases their
harmonies and even their melodies
were revised in accordance with the
musical ideals of the last century.
ut is still possible. however, to
hear them sung in all the beauty of
their original form in remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
sicians of today are realizing how
very much more beautiful these old
versions are DR.. Walford Davies, a
Welshman who is now professor of
music at the University of Wales,

FUNDSrNEEDED
FOR REP AIRING
THE Lake ROAD

Committees appointed by the
Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs in this city
will canvas the city the latter part of
the week to solicit funds to use in
fixing the highway between the city
and the Lakewood park in order to
have it, in the best possible condition
for the big Legion convention to be
held here next week. Neither the
city nor the county has any available
funds at the present time to do this
work, and it can't be done except
by public subscription. It is estimated
that about $500 is needed to make
temporary repairs which will include
graveling as much Of the road as this
amount will permit,and also employ
someone to draw the road Immediately
after each rain. The traffic over this
road between now and next fall will
be very heavy, and unless something is
done Immediately the cost of putting
the road in condition later will be
much greater. The sooner the work
is done the smaller the expense will
be, and the less trouble cars will
have in making their trips between the
park and the city. If the low places
are filled with gravel right now, and
the road is regularly dragged after
each rain during the summer it can
be kept in the very best Of condition,
and it behooves every person in the
city to do his darnest when the COM
mittee calls on him the latter part
of this week.
