vanced price it was said that $780,
100000 had already been gained; so
the Importance of the farm as our
greatest economic factor must now be
established beyond controversy.
There is much talk about the re-es-
Establishment of confidence as the way
out of the present tragedy. Would it
establish confidence in the greatest
and most important industry in our
country, farming?
Afraid of Their Own Shadow.
The fruitful soil of the United States
should now be, by right, the best
security in the world, there is more
money hid away in old socks and tin
cans in this country than it would
take to refinance our farm loans
which might again come out of hiding
the minute the government says that
it will undertake this task. People
sick of the stock market would again
turn to farm paper as investments,
but it will never be done as long as
shadow.
The Federal Reserve Act says, that
farm paper shall be eligable for dis
count like industrial paper" 1t was
this provision in the Reserve Act
which was the cause of the prosperity
we gradually attained in the farm
country up to the time of the world
war. Due to this provision land values
went wild during the war, and the
making of a dead letter of this pro-
vision after the war made land values
dwindle to what they now are, the
tragedy of which is best reflected in
the wreck of the thousands of banks,
strewn all over the farm country. Our
congressional delegation does not
seem to sense the Importance of bring
ing the Federal Reserve Bank this
mighty force for good or evil, into the
control of the people of the United
States in whose interest it was sup
posed to have been established. 1t
would be mere bagatelle for. this
institution, without whose sanction no
the refinancing scheme of Governor
Olson. In the hectic days that are
sure to develop in the next Congress,
a strong northwest delegation can
find hundreds of ways in which to
badger special privilege if special
privilege persist in treating the farm
err like serf.
