Letters received from the South

federation indicates a solid back

gram. Senator Norbeck writes as
follows:
THE western senators and rep
resentatives recognize the serious
situation of our farmers. This
prompts them to work together
quite closely; it also brings the
criticism from certain quarters
that it is unfair for us to work in
blocs but conditions compel far
mers, as we'll as others to work in
groups. Certain interests here who
have always worked in blocs of
course find fault, but up to this
time we have generally had the
support of party leaders and the
administration for farmer meas
ures. | know the large organiza-
ton and the intelligent work of

looked them over carefully. You
may rest assured that | shall give
the particular resolutions to which
you have called special attentio'
my careful consideration. | shall
be more than glad to cooperate
in carrying out the subjects you
have in mind
The legislation so far advocat-
ed by most of the farm organiza-
tions, and particularly yours, has
been Of a conservative character
and much as we have a right TO
insist upon being enacted into law
without being properly chargeable
with advocating class legislation
But that we are not frequently
charged with this, but | am con-
vinced that the legislation which
we have advocated, the greater
portion of which has become law,
will be for the general benefit and
interest Of the whole country. Ev-
eryone who has given any study to
the question at all realizes that
and so far we have been able to
make members of congress from

tive Of much good and still great
er results are in sight. Our other
farm organizations have also had
their representatives here.
81 have one suggestion to make
however, and that is that the farm
organizations here should follow
the experience Of other organiza-
tions seeking legislation. They
should limit their work to impor-
tant matters. To my mind, most
of it can be covered under three
heads: Better market conditions
cheaper transportation charges
and improvement in the credit sit
uation. While | will understand
that our farmers as rule do not
borrow addi ional money, still
there are tens Of thousands that
will fail unless they are able to
renew-not only their chattel NOR

that the agricultural sections of

control legislation. We need help

TO INVESTIGATE ACTION
OF WESTERN BANKERS
President Promises Prompt Action
in Matter Will Punish All
ViOIaters of Law

From Washington comes the re-
port that President Harding will
investigate the charge that some
western banks have been loaning
funds provided by the War Fin
ance Corporation at more that the
legal rate, and promises that the
violaters will be promptly punish
ed.
The usual rate charged for fed
eral loans to farmers and stock
raisers in the section mentioned
is 5i2 per cent, but the stock rails
ers have been charged rates vary
ing from 8 to 10 per cent and in
many instances, commission has
also been charged.
1t was indicated at Washington
just what steps would be taken
against institutions found violat-
ing the laws in that respect. but
was said the first move might be
to refuse further federal moneys
to such banks.
President Harding, it is under
stood, received the reports with
deep feeling, and promised action,
saying that the services for the
lending of federal moneys for ag-
ricultural and stock raising pur-
poses was supposed to be entirely
free and that the government does
not sanction usury in any connec-
tion.

ONLY A WELL-DIGGER

senator MOSES VI A\cW IIdllllj-
shire who aspires to be the SUI
preme satirist Of the senate, had
this to say recently about the ag-
ricultural bloc of that body:
1t is composed Of twenty law
yers, a newspaper editor and q
Well-digger
Peter Norbeck of South Dakota,
is indeed, well-digger He is
also republican. which fact
should plead with Senator Moses
as mitigation of his otfense.
But by what right does this
Moses rail against senator-even
a brother republican senator be
cause of his occupation?
If memory serves us correctly |,
was the New Hampshire senator
who, in the dark days when Wood
row Wilson was stricken, diagnos-
ed the case from his newly ac-
quired office on Capitol Hill and
/ kept himself busy for weeks after
ward whispering his diagnosis into
eager but Mortified ears in the re-
publican cloakrooms. He used
then the same poor judgment and
poor taste that he uses now.
Sneator Moses does Peter Nor
beck, United States senator and
well digger, no more harm by his
jibes than he did President Wilson
with his slanders. But what of the
reaction on his own constituents
and on the plain people every
where?
Consider, for instance. the plod-
ding farmer who tolls year in and
year out in the hills near Wilmot
New Hampshire. There he still
farms with oxen and there he Is
able to exact from the soil only
the most meager returns. Would
not Moses Of the senate look upon
him with disdain? And would not
this mighty solon frown too, upoa
the cobbler Of Portsmouth? And
would not his vision be too exalted
to see the problems that the black
smith of Concord has? And the
lowly woodsman of Tilton? For
what are these more than the well
digger of South Dakota?
There is harm in the utterances
of Moses Of the senate. There is
real responsibility that rests
with the standpat leadership of
the senate, of which he is a part
1t is not their pivilege to turn
their faces against common folks.
There is no challenge due from
them to the well digger's right to
participate in government. When
the issue is sneeringly raised it
shows need for an agricultural
bloc and perhaps for still other
blocs. 1t will summon good Ameri-
cans to the side Of Peter Norbeck.
Unless there is a change in the
leadership that Senator Moses re-
presents, there will be more well
diggers' in the senate, which will
perhaps be better for the senate
and better for the country than
to have more Moseses there
