RURAL CREDIT DIFFICULTIES
(The Minneapolis Tribune)

A new problem now confronts Min
nesota's Rural Credits department in
that its source of revenue will prob
ably be cut off for some time at least.
In order that it may make loans to
farmers the Rural Credits department
must be able to sell it's bonds at an
interest rate low enough that will
enable it to pass some of the bene-
fits on to the farmer. Under exist
ing conditions in the credit market it
is becoming almost impossible for the
state loan agency to float its bonds
Heretofore the bureau has had re-
course to the state investment board
to furnish it additional money by pur-
chasing Rural Credit obligations out
of its permanent trust fund.
That source of revenue is now be-
ing stretched to the limit and it is
questionable whether the state invest
ment board should make any further
purchases of rural credit obligations.
A request for $3,OOO,OOO by the rural
credits bureau has met with deferred
action by the investment board and
they warned the bureau that it had
practically reached the limit in the
governmental financing of that de-
partment. The investment board ap-
proved the purchase of $25O,OOO in
rural credit bonds and granted the
bureau a $4,000 loan to meet Feb
ruary interest payments, informing
them that the very maximum that
the state could use of it's permanent
trust fund in purchasing rural credit
bonds would be $2,OOO,OOO, provided
that action were approved.
The situation in which the bureau
finds itself is not peculiar to it alone.
The federal land banks were confront
ed with much the same difficulty and
a federal appropriation of $125,OOO, 900
was made to furnish them with new
capital out of which to make new
loans. The Minnesota bureau can have
recourse to no such resources to in
crease it's capital and the opportuni-
ties for helping it are not many. Eff
forts to bring the rural credits sys-
tenn under the reconstruction finance
corporation have met with little sue
cess and unless the private credit
market improves the bureau will be at
the end of its rope.
The farmers need for long term
credit on the most reasonable terms
is recognized by everyone but unless
something unforeseen happens he will
have to rely on the federal agencies
to supply him with that type of credit.
That that would be wiser than to have
Minnesota embark on a questionable
policy of state financing seems to be
the only reasonable conclusion.

difference in the hiring. If people
that can't read were not allowed, to
vote and l don't think a person in
these times with all our schools and
facilities for learning should be al
lowed to vote unless they could read
enough to distinguish names apart.
Oh, yes, some of you say some one
can mark his or her ballot. All
we'll and good then that, some one
may have some object in view, they
tell him how they want to vote and
he marks the ticket or ballot to his
own liking. The illiterate ones don't
know how their ballots were voted
for they can't read. The fact Is they
can't vote and it gives some one
chance to vote three or four times
his own way and that is wrong ac-
cording to law, so they tell me. OF
course for one thing we have been
paying too big salaries and that's
why we have so many applicants for
every job. 1t used to be they took
the job for the honor of the office
and did their best to satisfy the ma
jority of the people, but now 1t is
different. They take it for the money
that they can get out of it and as
long as they can hold the job they
don't care if we like it or not, as long
as they can set the wages and we pay
them without hollering out loud.
But it is getting high time to begin
to holler so you can be heard when
taxes get so high that one can't have
enough to live on after paying the
taxes from one crop to the other.
Now that is my idea. What is
yours, reader? l don't know much
but l have been around some and l
have heard and seen few things.
| may give you a conundrum later on.
Yours for better times.

Both the boys and girls high school

seek to justify the 8 to 6 beating
which they gave Askov in the game
here a short time ago, while Askov
will be equally anxious to avenge the
previous defeat. All three games will
be worth seeing.

Christian Science

"Unreality" is the subject of the
lesson sermon on Sunday in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci

text is from psalm CXIX: For
ever. o Lord, Thy word is settled
in heaven. Through Thy precepts
get understanding: therefore l
hate every false way
One of the Bible citations in the
lesson-sermon includes words of
Eliphaz from the Book of Job: Il
would seek unto God, and unto
God would l commit my cause;
which doeth great things and un-
searchable; marvellous things with
out number; to set up on high
those that be low; that those
which mourn may be exalted to
safety. He disappointeth the de-
vices of the crafty, SO that their
hands cannot perform their enter
prise. He shall deliver thee in six
troubles; yea, in seven there shall
no evil touch thee"
A selection from Science and
Health With Key TO the Scrip
tures,' by Mary Baker Eddy, states:
"As God Himself is good and IS
Spirit, goodness and spirituality
are real, evil and materiality arc

Relief Committee
Meeting Monday

Representatives of the 26 organi-
Zations from which the central re-

urged to attend a meeting of that
committee at the city hall at 7:30
O'Clock Monday night when plans
for carrying on relief work will
be discussed.
The meeting was called by w. w.
AIcEuen, chairman of the central
committee, as it was found funds
must be raised TO take care OF
charity in the community from
this kime on.
Relief agencies, said McEuen,
carried such a heavy burden this
winter that their funds are ex-
