BOLLS STATES SIDE
 OF LOAN DISPUTE
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: Please allow me space in your pa per, would like to give few of my reasons for declining to sign any farm loan applications.
 First, this appraising was all done before we ever had a meeting of the loan committee. My first knowledge of any appraising being done was on or about February 4, when the secretary at that time brought to me several applications to examine and sign, l at that time, as before, in- sisted on meeting of the loan com- mittee which we had two days later. 1t was then that 1 was informed that Mir. Steele would do all the apprais- ing for 1922. 1 was informed by Mir. Steele that l would be expected to ex- anime and sign all loan applications and If at any time we should disagree on the appraisement it would be my duty to go out and inspect the prop erty myself without any compensa- tion. Knowing that heretofore the appraisers were paid equally l de- clined to donate my services. Know ing that liberal amount had been allowed to pay for this work, 1 thought l was entitled to some con- slderation for my services.
 In conclusion, l will say I did not ask to be put on the loan committee, but as the stockholders had selected me as one of the appraisers, l felt equally responsible to the association for the appraising as MT. Steele
 MT. Steele being president at that time decided to call a meeting of the controlling board to oust me, and sue ceeded, not only in ousting me but the entire office force. l swallowed the dose as was prepared for me without appealing to the federal land bank for help.
 Hoping the new office force a pros- porous year, 1 am,
 Yours very truly,
