THE CHATTEL MORTGAGE LAW
{New Haven Journal-courier)

New Haven Journal Courier)
Connecticut agriculture has gone
very little to Washington for aid,
both because the law made 1t diff
cult and because local needs never
were dire as in the agrarian Sec
tions of the west. Under present
conditions, however, Yankee farm
| independence has, like other ira
ditional precedents undergone
some modification. And the gen.
eral assembly has seen fit to pass
legislation making federal aid pos
sible. Under federal legislation.
farmers in any state may secure
loan aid from the Regional Agri-
cultural Credit corporations, by
giving chattel mortgages on grow
ing crops, livestock or farm imple-
ments. The Connecticut law how
ever has historically refused such
mortgages. By a liberalizing
measure the general assembly has
now made them possible and the
federal loans may proceed.
Raymond X. Clapp, director for
this state of the regional corpora
tons work announces easy terms
by which farm indebtedness can be
funded in one place with repay
ment and interest dates easily
spread over period of time so as
to concur with maximum farm rev.
enue periods. Loans may be secur-
ed to finance crop and milk pro-
duction, poultry farming, taxes,
other interest charges. etc. with
payments sometimes spread over q
period UP to three years. Reflect
ing the optimism felt at Washing
ton, Mr. Clapp explains that the
lightest payments will come first
and their weight Increase toward
the termination of the pay period;

How Old Is Debt?

How initiation will affect debts depends
good deal on how old they are and how
soon they are paid. In the case of recent
debts promptly paid, the effect is slight,
because the rise of the price level and fall OF
the dollar are slow in our domestic business.
The purchasing price of the dollar was
highest about the first of this year. he
general impression is that government con-
troll will let it sink to about the value OF
1926, taking that as fair average for the
1920's Most of our present indebtedness
during that decade, or during previous
years when prices were at least as high. Such
an adjustment might mean that the new,
dcvslued dollar would buy, in retail prices,
only so or 20 per cent as much as it has
bought SO far this year. Such dollar, then,
would be on the whole fair dollar in which
to pay back debts incurred before the de-
preston and since 1914
The sooner any depression debt is
paid, of course. the better it will be for the
creditor 1t will be easier for the debtor as
the dollar sinks to its destined level and is
"pegged there by devaluation - if it is'
Creditors, therefore, naturally press for pay
ments to get their money while it will buy
more for them. Debtors for the same rea-
son incline to spend their money just now
for commodities rather than debt payment.
Yet this procedure, unfair as it may seem.
Is probably wholesome, because it helps bus
mess, and business improvement will make
dphf f,avment easier later on,

(James E. Warren. Jr in the New York
Times)
Lashed by the white bombardment Of the
rain,
The amber warriors have left the field
To those sweet blossoms that forever yield
To their Wild lips. But they shall come again
Droning their battle songs like copper bells,
Climbing the bastions of the hollyhocks.
Charging the crimson turrets of the phlox,
Taking the larkspur's azure citadels.
And when the silence of the frost shall creep
To lull the victors and their slaves to Sleep
Let us remember In October's fires
Their songs. their colors and their bright
desires,
And shall dream in warmth no ice removes.
Drunk with the honey of our earthen loves.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 26.-While
the N. A. R. program is being pushed
with vigor by sympathetic and vigor-
GUS State organization, basic elements
in Georgia's economic order are
showing an Independent improvement
that is vastly encouraging to busi-
ness.
Georgia's veal or woe is founda-
toned on agriculture-cotton, tobacco,
peanuts, fruits and melons, naval
stores and, to an extent hardly SUI
f1cient to satisfy local needs, grains
and vegetables.
1t is simple matter Of arithmetic
to put into figures facts which show
the extent of the recovery already made
in the great cash crop, cotton, and in
tobacco, which dominates a consider
able section of the coastal plain.
In 1882 Georgia marketed $4,000
bales Of cotton at price Of cents.
or $50 q bale.
This year one third Of the planted
acreage was destroyed in compliance
with the agricultural administrators
plow-under program, and Georgia
farmers will receive, under the three
options offered, bonus amounting
to $11 100000.
On top of that, so favorable has
been the growing season that the con-
dition Of the crop on August l, re-
ported by the Federal Department of
Agriculture. indicated production
this year of 1,071 900 bales.
With the price holding firm above
the 9-cent level to which it rebounded,
after the early August slump, a s45
a bale minimum is indicated. Lop off
II 900 bales from the estimated pro-
duction on the score Of loss Of con-
dition in some sections in the past
fortnight, and gross return from the
900 ,OoO bales figures as S45,o00,000.
Add to that the $11 600 900 bonus and
the return swells to $4,000 900.
So, while there has been sporadic
complaint from farmers who were ex-
pecting an immediate restoration OF
| flush times and while the politicians
as usual make show Of extreme agita-
ton in behalf of the down-trodden
tiller of the soil, there is in sight
cash return to the cotton growers
of Georgia which figures 120 per cent
more than a year ago. 1t is 5000, 900
as compared with s25, 100000, and

of the increased production and i'm
proved price of cotton seed. For every

into bale, there is grown half ton
of seed. the price of which more than
pays the cost Of picking and ginning

TOPEKA, Kans., August ga fight
for control of a reorganized Republican
party between Gov. Alf M Landon and
Charles Curtis, former Vice President OF
the United States. is one of the poSsibil
titles for 1894 that is interesting Kansas
politicians these days.
If such a contest should come one of
the odd features would be the probable
lineup back of the veteran Curtis, sur
vivor of a half-century of political cam
paignS, and the younger Iandon, now
holding public office for the first time
The chances are that Landon would
have the backing OF most of the old
Curtis followers still alive, while the
Curtis comeback might depend upon an
alliance with DR.. John r. Brinkley of
Milford, the goat-gland specialist and
"big-time" radio station owner.
DR.. Brinkley, whose license to prac-
tice medicine was Cancelled by the State
Board of Health, is still practicing by
authority Of the Federal courts. His
sappeal to these from the State boards S

JACKSON, Miss, August 26.-Missis-
sippi's national recovery road program
for the expenditure of $4,000, 900 will
be inaugurated September IL, when the
first bids will be received. The effort Of
L. T. Kennedy, chairman Of the Missis-
sippi House Appropriations Committee,
to prevent the expenditure of the gaso-
line tax on the road building program
so far has failed.
Kennedy sought, through q writ of
mandamlls, to keep the State Highway
department from using the cents Of
the scent tax on gasoline provided for
road use. Circuit Judge Wiley Potter
OF the Kinds district threw the suit out
OF court. He held that, despite the fact
the Legislature had made no specific
appropriation for the highway program,
the 1882 revenue act fixing gasoline tax
at cents gallon and designating 8
cents Of that for the use of the State
Highway Department was sufficient to
warrant the spending Of the money for
road building
This opposition to the road program
has not been particularly popular with
the people. However. the State High
way Department is beyond the control
of Gov. Mike Conner, perhaps partially
due to the support Of Huey Long in
Louisiana.
In the 1881 gubernatorial campaign
Long Of Louisiana openly espoused the
cause of Conner In Mississippi. This
threw bornbshell in the Conner camp
at first. However, the reaction was not
as bad as expected at that time. since
great many road material men in
the State actively worked for Conner's
election, hoping for an extensive Aigh-
way-building program.
In the meantime. efforts of Conner
leaders to control the State Highway
Department failed. ~ Conner opponents
not only elected the highway commits
sioners, but put in as the head of the
department banker Doug Kenna, who
had been strong in his support of one
Of Conner,s opponents for Governor.
Representative Kennedy. who sought to
tie up the highway fund, is close to
Gov. Conner.
