CLAIMS FARMERS
TO BE PROSPEROUS
War Finance Corporation Believes
Farmers and Others Dependent on
Farms Face Better Times,

Washington, Feb. 13.-Forty-nine
million people in the United States
are about to experience prosperity, if
an announcement by the War FL
nance Corporation is not too optimis-
tically phrased. These fortunate in
dividuals are farmers, farm hands
and the residents of small towns
directly dependent for their support
upon the agricultural industry. Pros
perity for 10000, 900 persons, or nearly
one half of the total population Of
the United States, means prosperity
for all.
The War Finance Corporations
statement, written by Eugene Meyer,
Jr, director, calls attention to the
fact that barely enough food is being
raised to feed the world. So long as
Russia IS out of world commerce as
a grain exporting nation this eondi-
tion is lkely to continue.
American farmers during 1921
raised short crop Of wheat COM
pared with the preceding year But
it was more than the United States
needed.
American farmers, therefore, during
1922, should be in position to sell
abroad more wheat and food than
ever before. The world cannot get
along without this food. This means
higher prices for American farmers.
1t represents the beginning Of agri-
ultural revival, in short property.

Editor of Reveille:
You have asked me as to the power
Of the different taxing districts to is
sue bonds, your inquiry being provok-
ed by some criticism of your former
statements on this issue.
Under Chapter 206 Sec. 5, Acts 1920
any municipality may issue its bonds
up to the amount of 1870 of its as
sessed value.
Under Chapter POT Acts 1920, the
Boards Of Supervisors can issue the
bonds Of (1) the county, (2) the bonds
Of the separate or consolidated school
districts, (3) for the construction Of
public roads. See session of the
"A is.
Under Sec. of the Act, the limit
is provided, which is as follows:
"No county OR consolidated OR rur-
al separate school district OR separate
road district shall issue bonds under
authority of this act to an amount
that added to the outstanding bonded
or floating debt of such county, OR
consolidated school district, or separ-
ate road, district, will amount to more
than fifteen per cent, Of the assessed
value of the taxable property in such
county, OR consolidated OR rural sep
arate school distrirt, OR separate road
district
There acts are very clear, and un-
der it, in Port Gibson, bonds could be
issued to a total 4596 Of the assessed
