Shall Finance Corporation Stay?

could be stimulated, prices of these
goods would rise and the American
farmer would be relieved.
Then in August, 1921. the corpora
tion's organic act again was amended
to permit it to make advances on
agricultural products, whether or not
they were for export. The corpora
ton created an elaborate system of
committees ramifying the entire
country. Each committee was, in eff
feet, local agent for the great gov
ernment bank at Washington. A
farmer, needing credit, would borrow
from his local bank. The local bank
would turn the note over to the COM
mittee which would forward it to
Washington to the corporation. The
corporation would advance money
against it. OF course, not every note
made by a farmer would fit the re-
quirements of the law and regula
tions. The farmer actually got his
| money from his local bank, but it, in
many cases would not lend if it did
not know it could pass the note on to
the corporation. In this way a large
sum of money has been advanced to
relieve the farmers during the last
10 months.
Railroad Securities Purchased
Another use the corporation made
of it's funds was to purchase, through
the director general of railroads, Sc
curitiex of American railroads which
had been pledged with the director
general on account of additions and
betterments made by the government
| during federal control. When it ap
pesred that the railroads were in dire
need of funds, following their return
| to their owners, the War Finance cor
| poration arranged to sell these Sc
curities to the pubic, thus raising
funds to advance to the railroads.
A brief summary will show how
much money this great government
| bank has advanced to different
groups of the American people: Adj
vances made to May IS to finance ex-
ports have amounted to $50,250 120.
| or this sum $33,572,373 has gone to
aid cotton exports, and $5,209,810 for
grain. Other commodities exported
| under this assistance include tobacco,
| canned fruits, meat products, con-
densed milk, textiles, sheet steel, cop-
| per, sugar mill machinery agricul-
tural machinery, railroad equipment
| and lumber
Advances for the relief of agricul-
tural and livestock interests from
| Aug. "a, 1891, when this activity was
authorized, to May 13, the latest date
| for which figures have been compiled,
aggregate $297,ss4133. This financ-
| ing includes cotton, grain, livestock,
| sugar beets, rice, canned fruits. dried
| fruits, peanuts, tobacco and general
agricultural purposes. Much of this
assistance was advanced through CO.
operative farming associations. Ad-
vances made to banking and financ-
| ing institutions amounted to $23s. :
| 1924, and that portion made
through the co-operatives to $oS,-
| 522.2
| OF all these advances. whether to
banks, co co-operatives or exports, S347.
934,253 has been in aid of the agricul-
| tural industry and this vast sum has
been lent in a period when farmers
found difficulties in getting bank
credit through other sources. In con-
sequence, the farmers of the country
are strongly opposed to a curtaiiment
OF the functions of the corporation.

The other day it was discovered that member
of an Atlanta, Ga, jury which awarded woman
divorce was the husband of the plaintiff who did
not raise a dissenting voice. There seems to have
been something than collusion in this case.
There was also something of caressness in the con-
duct of the case by the woman's attorney, whose
curiosity at least should been aroused by the
similarity of the names of his client and the juryman.

The averment Of the insurance COM

tradicted by the fact. counsel contends,
that the offer did not mention interest
