STAGE SET FOR
CREDITS FIGHT
Questions of How Farm Loan
Plan is to be Administered
Now Before House.
,By Farm Bureau News Service,

ated as a result of the passage
last fall of Amendment No. l, is
to be administered by one man
or a commission is to be fought
out on the floor of the House.
Last week saw two significant
developments. First came the
majority report of the House
Markets committee, voted 10 to
7, that House File 2, with minor
amendments. do pass Then
came the introduction of the
Dahle-Moen bill, generally call
ed the minority report. The
difference between these two
bills the question of administra-
tion-was the feature upon
which the full Markets commit
tee could not agree.
House File 2 provides that the
system shall be administered by
a commission of three, to be ap-
pointed by the Governor for
terms of three years each, over
tapping to prevent a change of
personnel at any one time. APP
proval by the Senate is provided.
Each commissioner is to receive
$4,000. One must be a dirt"
farmer, one a lawyer and one
man with knowledge of farm
loan values. This board is to en-
ploy secretary.
The minority report provides
for a Rural Credits bureau to be
directed by one man named by
the Governor, to serve. six years
at $1,000 a year. An ex-officio
board composed Of the Attorney
General and the Commissioner of
Agriculture is provided The
State Treasurer is to handle the
Bureaus funds.
Just when the debate on the
two proposals will open none will
forecast. All concerned, how
ever, are anxious to get to a vote
with as little delay as possible.
Except for the manner of ad-
ministration, the majority and
minority bills are, in the main,
the same. Power to authorize
loans and sell bonds to draw not
to exceed 5 per cent interest is
vested in the administration.
Borrowers will be charged not
less than ! of l per cent and not
more than J of l per cent above
the rate of interest paid on
bonds. This extra charge will be
used for paying overhead ex-
pense of the system and for
building up a reserve.
An appropriation of 100000
is provided to be used in starting
the system. This money must he
returned to the state when the
system is well established.
Loans it is stipulated, must be
made on improved or partially
improved land and must be Sc
cured by first mortgages. An
amortization plan for repayment,
running for not more than 80
years is provided and borrower
may pay his obligation, after D
years, in whole or in part, on any
semi-annual payment date.
Loans are limited to a maxi
mum of $4,000 and to a mini
mum of $500
1t is proposed that no loan
shall exceed 60 per cent of the
value of the land, plus 40 per
cent of the insured value of I'M
provements, which in no case
shall be more than SO per cent
of the value of the land and must
not exceed $1,000 in any event.
The annual convention OF the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton recommended. in its pro-
gram for 1923. that 65 rather
than 60 per cent of the value OF
land be the loaning limit.
Money may be borrowed to

Is Said to Have Misappropri-

initiate.
BY International News. Service

HAMBLEDOWN. England. Aug.
,16.-'"The Mystery Of Lady Hafdy's
Hair Crown"
This might serve as the. title Of
the interesting case of the Rev.
Charles Hainby Barton, octoge narian
rector in this village.
The rector was committed Tor
trial on a. charge. of having fraud
lently converted half crown -
so cents-to his own uses. Pre-
viously the rector was UP in court
charged with having willful1y DAM
aged a monument in HIS churchyard.
Testimony was given that Charles
Hardy, Lady Katherine Hardy and
Miss Hilton. were the only three
persons who attended communion
service at the rectOr,s church on
June II. It was testified that Hardy
put 10 shillings in the collection
plate. Lady Hardy cont ributed 5
shillings @or two ''haR-crowns," and
Miss Hilton threepence.
Edward Lawrence, church warden,
testified that the rector turned over
to him only IL. shillings, ninepence,
one "half crown" less than it was
testified had been put in the collec-
ton bag.
The Rev. E. L. Ridge. rural dean,
said he had consulted with the rec
tor about the charges made against
him and the defendant had ex-
claimed: "All this fuss about half
a crown"
The rector suggests that Lady
Hardy made a mistake and only
put one .''ha1f-crown'' instead Of two
in the collection. ~
The courts viii have to decide
this case and the rector's reputation
is balanced against the missing
''half-crown.''
