EFFORT TO CUT
LOAN INTEREST
FAILS IN HOUSE
Measure Which Aroused
Wide Interest Lost by
45-44 Vote.

Petty loan companies Of Indiana
we're jubilant today with the pros
pect Of continuing the collection Of
81 per cent interest monthly on the
loans they negotiate during the next
two years.
Cause for their rejoicing was the
final defeat Tuesday of the Karrer
bill, which would have reduced the
maximum legal interest rate to az
per cent a month. The vote was
As noes and "A ayes.
Intensive Lobbying
So-called "loan sharks" who, &C
cording TO state banking department
figures, collected their high interest
rate on approximately $13, 100000 Of
petty loans in the last year, lob
bied vigorously against the bill I'M
til the final moment of its defeat.
Helping the defeat of the bill in
troduced by Representative Clyde
Karrer Dem., Marion) was the
fact that twenty Of the twenty-five
Republican representatives voted
against the measure.
1t was learned today that the
subject Of how the house minority
group should vote on this bill was
brought up at G. o. P. caucus
Tuesday noon and although none
Of the members was pledged to
vote against the bill, it was the
trend of discussion that the meas
ure should be defeated.
Twenty-Five Democrats also voted
against the measure.
The history of the bill has been
one to cause much curiosity among
many members of the house,
Introduced on Jan. 10 it was sent
TO the judiciary A committee Of
which Fabius Gwin CDem., Dubois
and Martini, is chairman. 1t was
held in that committee until Feb. IL,
almost a month to the day without
any action being taken. Upon the
protests Of its author and other
members interested in cutting the
interest rate the bill was recommit-
ted to judiciary B committee which
held a public hearing and on Feb.
10 handed out the measure with
recommendation for passage.
In the original bill Karrer had cut
the interest rate to per cent, but
he later explained this was 'for
trading purposes and accepted the
amendment raising the rate to 2h
per cent.
Two attempts at passage failed.
Finally on Tuesday Karrer declared
he had more than the flfty-one
votes necessary for passage, and
called the bill down, only to have
it lost.
Much comment was excited in
the general assembly when in the
first debate on passage, Representa-
tive E. Curtis White (Dem, Marion)
declared that he had been told he
would hear $4,000 speech on this
subject just after yielding his time
TO another member Of the house
who was speaking against the
measure. White voted for it.
Skinned the Poor People"
The sentiment back of the bill
was illustrated by Representative
John Cantley dem, Case, who
in explaining his vote for the
measure declared: 1.-THE small loan
operators have skinned the poor
people of Indiana long enough"
The roll called showed:

San Diego Men M0dermise Fishing,
Locating Schools of Fish by Plane

OLD salts who have spent their
~ lives steering fishing smacks
about the seas may be i~ncredulous
at the news that deep sea fishing is
now being done by airplane.
II would seem highly fantastic to
most shippers to be told that 1t is
possible to send up a plane from a
smack, have 1t scout a school of fish
and then radiophone back to the
ship just where to east its lines
and nets.
This Is the procedure that Guy
Silva, prominent San Diego fisher.
man, and bis 1s-year-old son, Gray.
are carrying out In their explora-
tions OF the tuna fisheries OF the
Central American and Mexican
coasts. And to them goes credit
for pioneering In this moderated
scheme OF fishing.
Got Ideas From Subs"
The Silvas got their idea from
the U. S. Navy. Submarines. they
noted, were equipped with tiny
scouting planes. The Silvas OBJ
served that such a plane, equipped
with pontoons, could be easily car
ried atop the bait box of their e5-
foot schooner, the Emma r. S.
by means OF the pontoon
equipped airpiane, which carries q
radiophone set" explained the elder
Silva before setting out for south
ern waters. my son. who will be
the pilot, will be able to scout an
area In an hour that would require
nearly a weeks sailing by u FISH
ing boat.
From an altitude OF 1000 feet"
he continued. ian observer In the
plane can sight a tuna school a dis.
tance of approximately 10 miles.
AS soon as the school is sighted the
plane flashes the news by radio
phone. The plane. on returning to
the schooner, is then hoisted aboard
by means of a cargo BOOM"
Both father and son are qualified
pilots as we'll as experienced fish
ing men. Guy, a graduate of the
school of aeronautics at the Uni
versity of California, served in the
army air corps during the war.

returned to his first love, fishing.

they have a widespread habitat.
THE natural habitat of the yellow
fin tuna" he points out, is far
greater than any other species Of
fish, their feeding and spawning
grounds ranging from the Hawaiian
Islands to the California coast and
thence into the South Pacific to the
west coast Of South America" The
time spent in locating schools in
this large area is, obviously, les
sened by airplane scouting.

intended to thresh an acre of his
wheat but NOW it for feed. Other
farms of this neighborhood, on
which the crops were laid waste,
are those of Ed. Zimmerman, Ben
Smith, Louis Smith, Lars Stems
land, Ben Spencer, John Nelson,
Ben Zimmerman and many 9TH
ers whose names we do not know,
1t being our first trip into that
vicinity. Ed. Zimmerman had hail
insurance on 900 acres of crop
and John Nelson on 160 acres.
Between the south edge of the
hailed belt and the river there
is a big acreage that promises to
yield from a few to Is bushels. At
present prices of wheat it is con-
sidered doubtful if it is worth har-
vesting to haul to the elevators.
1t seems probable that there will
be many sales of standing crops
to stockmen or trades-part of a
crop for part of the other mans
stock.
In the face of it all, one farmer,
Mr.. Stensland, had the optimism
to remark: eve should not com

Great Forward Step"
1.-THE Farmers National Grain
corporation believes that the new
relationship established between
itself and the Farmers Union Ter
minal association" President Huff
said, marks probably the greatest
forward step in grain marketing
since the establishment of the
grain corporation.
"a similar operating arrange
ment has been made and is now
in effect in the North Pacific and
intermountain areas, in Colorado,
Missouri and in a more modified
way in Nebraska. but in no ms
tance heretofore has the plan in
volved a group so soundly and ex-
tensively engaged in marketing o
with so many properties o so
large a number Of accounts.
THE determination Of the Farm
ers Union Terminal associations
directors to take this step indi-
Gates not only their faith in the
Farmers National Grain corpora
tion and its ability to handle grain
marketing more effectively in be-
half of the producer than can any
one of the regional units which
make up the national, but a pro-
found conviction that everything
else in the cooperative movement
is and must be secondary to o n
sideration of the growers welfare.
Under this new and improved
arrangement the Farmers National
corporation will operate the
terminal elevators in st. Paul and
Minneapolis in connection with the
500 Line Terminal in Minneapolis
recently purchased, and other
space held under lease. 1t also will
operate the country houses here
owned by the Farmers I'm
Terminal association. including
he new sub-terminal at Williston.
Y. D., and will contact directly the
elevator stockholders of
he terminal association.
"In all of its relations to these
Elevators and the individual pro-
the grain corporation will
ct only as the marketing agency
f the terminal association and as
is stakeholder member. A similar
'roposal is being made to the
ther regional stockholders Of the
o%rporation.
Coop Has rs offices
The Farmers National Grain
orporation owns and controls
through lease arrangements some
0 million bushels of elevator
pace. 1t has % offices covering
ne principal grain markets of the
United States. 1t has representa-
yes on every foreign market that {
ses United States grain and al
} makes its export deliveries in l
hips under its own charter. {
''This plan permits the corpora
on to direct the producers grain {

ut a single needless step in the
recess of handling and market {
lg, and at the highest possible
'ice, which price attempts to pre- I

1ration also plans the movement

ent as far as possible the con

indicated by the hearty approval

ton, and Harry F. Stephenson,
manager of the branch office in

appraised of the new arrangement
and has given hearty approval to
it. Chairman James C. Stone has
expressed his personal pleasure
and his belief that it affords the
means for correcting difficulties
heretofore existing between the
cooperatives in their region and
that it will substantially increase
the benefits to the grower"
Big Aid to Growers
"The Farmers Union Terminal
association has accomplished more
for the grain growers in this latest
march forward than it has done
by the mere building of elevators"
NJ. w Thatcher. general manager
of the association. said. we
have moved these facilities into
he stronger hands of the Farmers
National Grain corporation, which
has been and is sponsored by the
grain cooperatives on the one hand
and by the Federal Farm Board
on the other. Our facilities are
now a part of the national struct-
ure with a definite national plan
operated solely in the interest of
the farmer.
Last winter we turned over
% the Farmers National our term
nal sales office as a move further
% eliminate competition between
3OOperativeS in the sale of the
'armer's grain and further to elmi-
nate duplicated and unnecessary
expenses. Now We are making the
step, equally important, to
place all phases of grain market
ng in the hands of the Farmers
National, and leave u associa-
ion with more time and energy /
o increase the number of our
stockholders and bring
more grain into the national CO.
operative marketing structure.
Naturally after IL years asso-
iation with others in an endeavor
o procure for the farmer the right

'wn facilities, nuhampered by
rain exchanges, this gigantic
1ovement forward is very encour-
ging to me and l sincerely hope
t will be equally encouraging to
ur thousands of members in the
northwest.
Hope for Future
I'VE hope to be in control of 75
cent of the grain marketed in
he spring wheat region within two :
ears. If so, farmers will have
lore of the national income than
ley now get. Business men in the
northwest as well as farmers
