Legislative Seats
India WOmen's Aim

London, Sept. - CA. p. by MaiD-
From distant India comes a CIV of
the women for further political
rights and privileges. The Womens
Freedom League which. under the
leadership of Mrs. Pankhurst, used
10 smash windows and pour kero-
sene into the mail boxes in an en-
oeaNor to convince men that women
should vote, has received from India
an account of the struggle going on
there to give women the right to
membership in the legislatures.
At representative meeting of
lndlan women held recently in Simla
under the presidency of Lady SHAFT
the question of the disqualification
OF women for election as members
OF the several legislatures was dis
cussed. The following resolution,
supported not ony by the Simla
women but by the Bombay Women's
Council and the Women's Indian
Association, Madras, was passed un :
animously:
This meeting of Indian women.
belonging to different parts of India,
places on record its very strong
opinion that the disability of women
to stand as candidates for the legis-
latures be removed forthwith, and
that the rules undes the govern
ment of India act be amended ac-
cordingly."
The memorandum OF the reforms
committee states that 1T is not
necessary to reCapitulate the argu-
Slents for and against woman
franchise in British India. Our
contention is that it is an anomaly
that women may not I've members OF
the legislatures in provinces where
they are granted the right to vote.
We feel that the right to vote ought
to include the right to be mem :

LaFolette Says
Would Make Banking
Credit PEOPLES Servant

DeS MONIES, Iowa, Oct. Is (By "A.
P)-Charging that the federal re-
serve board has worked '.hand in
glove with Wall Street to exploit the
farmer and producer" Senator Rob-
ert NJ. LaFollette. in a speech here
tonight, pledged himself. if elected,
to make banking credit "the servant
of the people rather than its mas
ter"
The independent presidential can
didate said he would bring this
about by providing for the organize
ton of genuine cooperative banks
and by taking steps either to have
the federal reserve banking system
perform the functions it has prom
ised to perform when enacted" or
have 1t wiped from the statute books.
In addition. said the Wisconsin
senator, legislation is needed to con-
troll interest rates. to prevent usury
and to insure the use of the peoples
own credit by the people on reason
able terms.
Even more important" continued
Mr.. LaFollette, 1.-The credit sources OF
the nation must be used for produc-
tive purposes rather than for exploit
tation. They must be made available
for the farmer rather than the spec
uiator. They must be dedicated to
the merchant and to the manufac-
turer rather than to the wheat pits
and the stock exchange.
THE credit resources OF America
should also be used for the develop
ment of the United States rather than
for the exploitation of foreign coun-
tries. Within recent years eight bill
lion dollars have been loaned outside
this country. Much of it has been
loaned for militaristic purposes:
much of it for the exploitation of the
weak and defenseless countries.
American credit. American money,
should not be exported for foreign in
vestment until every need of the
farmer, of the business man and of
the manufacturer has been met SO
long as there is a shortage of at
least two million homes in America.
so long as credit rates. interest
rates, for farmers. home builders
and other productive users are rang
ing from seven to ten percent there
is no such thing as surplus credit
that should be exported
Recalling the enactment of the
federal reserve act. in 1913, the can
didate said it was passed by con-
Sress. under the pretense that it
would end this monopoly power"
yet this is what happened" he
continued. 1.-The defation policy Of
1920 was inspired. directed and con-
trolled by the federal reserve board
1t cost the farmer twenty billions of
dollars in the shrinkage of land val
ues. and nineteen billions more in
the value of the land products. 1t
cost manufacturers and business
men billions of dollars more. 1t
lhrew four million men out of work
Many OF whom walked the streets for

Foreign Crop Failure
Aids Farmers Here

Chicago. Oct. 15-tBy A. P)-Jf
the success of American agriculture
depends upon the failure of crops
either at home or abroad, 1t hangs
by very slender thread, Frank o.
LoWden, former governor of Illinois,
said In an address today before the
Inland Daily Press Association.
Because OF improved conditions in
the wheat belt and In those portions
of the corn belt where the farmers
have raised a normal crop. I'VE are
too prone to say that the farmers
troubles are over" Mr.. Lowden de-
cla'eb pointing out that the better
prices for wheat and corn were due
principally to the virtually complete
or partial failure OF these crops In
other sections.
1T Will be better not only for
agriculture, but better for the coun-
try. IL we face the fact and admit
that there is a real problem waiting
for solution more important than any
other domestic problem We have"
Mr.. Lowdn asserted. I'VE are coming
TO recognize that We have farm
problem, which in itself is a decided
gain. for when we admit its exist
ence. We already are on the way to
its solution. The business and finan-
ciai world underestfmated the injury
that American agriculture received.
The American farmer produces
more than eight times as much as
does the farmer of other lands. This
has largely been possible by what we
call commercialiZed agriculture. and
this in turn has made possible the
phenomenal industrial growth of the
country. IL is clear that without
commercialized agriculture the whole
mighty fabric of our industrial and
national life would fall
we may assume commercialized
agriculture has come to stay. Agri-
culture. then must conform to the
economic laws and limitations which
control the other portions of our
commercial structure. Ona Of these
is that production must bs adjusted
to compensation. Only through Or
sanization can this resplt be
achieved because only through Or
ganization does progress ceme. In
the modern world the farmer alone
