A PLEA FOR FAIRNESS.

George Smith, the veteran newspa-
per man who last week retired from
the Grangeville field, made the follow
ing statement anent the local printer
and the county printing in the last is
sue of his publication, The Globe, and
it is worthy of fair consideration by
the tax payers, county governments
and printers in every county:
George Medved, editor of the Cot
tonwood Chronicle spent the day in
the city in an effort to secure por-
tion of the county printing. Up to =
late hour tonight the commissioners
had not reached conclusion, but it
was understood that the program es-
tablished at the beginning of the ses-
sion, that of economy, would be strict
ly adhered to and the lowest bidder
would secure the "plum" or elem
on" which it has proved to be in
some instances.
This is the first time in the past Is
years that the Globe has not been n
contender for this work and the relief
is very gratifying at this time. There
is no reason in the world why local
printers should receive less for county
work than the travelling statesmen that
visit the court house almost every
week In the line of supplies the coun-
ty pays the price asked while the
home boys, the ones who help to pay
the taxes that support the schools and
build the roads and pay the officers
salaries are compelled to cut each 9TH
er 3 throats in order to secure the
work.
Some day the printers of Idaho
county will wake up and demand q
profit on their work the same as the
merchant who sells them clothing and
things to eat. And the taxpayers will
not be any worse off.

Ne cooperative features of the Farm
loan Act, if not the act itself, is SER
|iously endangered by the bill intro
dRced by Congressman Strong of Kan
5&s and sponsored by the Farm Bureau
Hon,
This bill introduced by Congressman
Strong of Kansas is a move to carry
oaat the recommendations for changes
IA the Farm Loan Act made by the
Farm Loan Bureau in its fifth annual
report. These recommendations have
already been so thoroughly discussed,
and so uniformly condemned by the
National Farm Loan Associations,
that it is amazing an effort should be
made to carry them into effect unless
1t be announced in the open, that the
destruction of these associations is de-
sired and intended.
Senator Fletcher in his speech on
the floor of the senate, has distinctly
ehown that the provisions of this bill,
Is enacted into a law, would nullifv
the intent of congress in passing tho
Farm Loan act, would destroy the CO.
lucrative features of that act, would
deprive the farmers of the country of
the financial independence which that
act sought to give them and instead OF
providing them method whereby the
development of agriculture would be
directed by them, subject to the su-
pervisory control of the Farm Loan
Board, the purposes of the act are to
be perverted so that the farmers may
furnish the necessary capital by mort
enging their farms, but the direct
management is to be centered in ana
eontrolled by politically constituted
board at Washington and its appoint
aas
Every farmer interested in the per-
petuation of the Farm Loan Act as It
now stands is urged to satisfy himself
on this question of change and then

At the same time we feel that wher'
reduction or payments ean be hat
without serious distress, even at som'
ksacrifice, we should urge the collec
tion of loans, but not to the point Of
the destruction of deserving borrow
ers.
| We are not disposed to loan money
to pay old indebtedness or for the pur
chase of non-essentials or extrava
gances, or to secure the business OF
lany customer of another bank who
has not in the past been doing busi
ness with us, but to support the hon
est, thrifty, economical, Woodworking
farmer in his modest necessities as
far as possible, so as to insure full and
efficient production. We feel that il
would be good business for everybody
during the coming year to limit loans
as much as possible. We now believe
we will be able to take care of the
small needs of good customers, on
the general policy that reductions will
be asked for and obtained when pos
sible, both in the interest of the bor-
rover and the lender, SO as to reduce
the overhead in interests taxes and
other expenses, as the sooner heavy
borrowers can be reduced the better
it will be for the whole community.
We want any man who feels the
slightest lack of confidence in this
bank in any particular to call at his
earliest convenience and draw his bal
ance, and we desire to assure him in
advance that no i'll feelings will fol-
low, as we want no one to worry over
his deposit in this bank. 1t will run
on with or without his balance just
the same, but of course we fully ap-
preciate the confidence and good re-
which follows depositing
account or a satisfactory borrowing
account with us. We want you to feel
free to come in and ask our advice or
assistance on any subject, as the well
fare of the community and each mem
Der in it will have our best care, and
we want to be of constructive service
wherever possible.
Quite naturally we feel that we
should have the support of the conc
munity, as the stronger we are the
more service we can render to others.
No bank can succeed or prosper unless
the community succeeds and prospers
with it, and we want to and intend to
do our part in the care and develop
ment of the welfare of the Nezperce
community. At this time the bank
wishes to thank ell loyal friends and
customers for past friendship. and sup
port, and again assures them of hearty
in the general welfare of
Ill, as only through the success of a
community can any individual in it'll
,r any business prosper in that com
nunity, and your welfare is our well
fare.
With kindest wishes for the future,
We are, yours very truly,
