A recent issue of the Consumers

in their ideas on the milk situation.
The first 100 replies showed a ma

the answers approved Government con-

was not yet ripe for city-owned milk

Gives Political Results.

But the suspicious among the admin
iStration master minds are becoming
more noticeable every day. They can
begin to see that the one constructive
accomplishment of the policy has been
political. 1t has kept the inflationists
off Mr.. RooSevelts neck. From that
standpoint alone it is an entire success.
The policy was inaugurated by Mr..
Roosevelt on October IS. He started
out then to attain the 1925 commodity
price level, through the Warren device.
How far he has gone is best shown
by the published commodity price in
dices of Prof. Irving Fisher for each
week since. 1t follows:

C1926 is 100
Still 2s Points Under 1926.

You can see that the gold policy has
brought the general commodity price
index from IT'S to 70. leaving 1t still
% points under the 1926 level
The Warren economists figured at
the beginning it would be more effec-
tive on agricultural products. because
they are mostly exportable and, there
fore would be most fayorably affected
by the scheme. Agricultural products
have risen from 47.9 to 48.l. That is
less than half of the general increase

The agriculturals were pushed
up from 1873 to 1875.
At that rate of speed it would only
take about 100 years for Prof. Warren
to reach the 1926 commodity level
Give Favorable Light.
The administration economists have
a way of figuring it out in more
favorable light. They can select the
prices of certain few things which
have gone up sharply in the last two
months and make a table from them
showing possibly a Is per cent increase
in prices.
The Fisher index affords a fairer
barometer. Indeed it gives the admin
iStration an edge because the majority
of products in it are exportable and.
therefore, more submissive to. the War
-ren theory.
1t is not perfect. No indiceS are.
But it is the standard one on that
subject. and the best
What seems to have happened to the
Warren theory is just what usually
happens to experimental theories when

Farmers To
Receive Sum
Of $2,14b.40
That Is Sum TO Come to
Lincoln Men Under
Wheat Control.

Lincoln county farmers will receive
the sum of 81, 20 this year from the
federal government under the plan to
aid the farmer and control production
now being put into operation by the
Agricultural Adjustment administration.
This Is 20 cents per bushel for all
wheat the county will be allowed to
produce under this control plan.
1t is expected this total benefit pay
ment will be either 20 or 80 cents per
hushel. II 1t is Is cents, Lincoln coun-
ty farmers will be paid an additional
$656.56 next year; If the benefit is 80
cents per huShel, the additional paw
ament will be $1,073.20.
These payments are dependent on
one provision and that proviso is Al,
important one. The maximum will Be
paid only il all wheat grower, in the
county sign contracts to hold their
wheat acreage to certain maximum
next year.
Lincoln county's allotment under the
national wheat adjustment program il
1882 bushels according to official
figures received here this week from
the federal Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. This is tn maximum
number of bushels upon which benefit
payments will be paid in the county.
The county's five year average pro-
dutcion upon which the above figure ia
based is 1890 bushels. Since benefit
payments are made only on the portion
OF the wheat crop which Is used do
mestically for food the county's allot-
ment was arrived at by applying the
percentage of wheat SO used to the
five-year average production It is esti-
mated that approximately "a percent Of
the crop is used domestically for food.
A benefit payment of Is to 80 cents
per bushel will be paid on allotment for
the 1888 crop year, 20 cents of this to
be paid this fall and 8 to 10 cents to
be paid next spring or summer after
inspections have been made.
Each wheat farmer who signs contract
to reduce In an amount to be desip-
mated BY the secretary of agriculture
will be assigned proportionate share
OF the county allotment based upon
production during the past three years.

that the city i practically out Of deb,
and II may b possible to obtain long

amimous desire that the new civic
building be erected
In my several years in Libby I do
not believe ! have ever seen such united
action behind any project as is support
ing this one,' said Mr. WEIGH. THE
council is unanimously for the under
taking and in view of the extra strong
support, we feel there should be no
trouble In putting It through success
fully"
Plans for the proposed buildings are
now being considered but are not def
mite enough at this time to be dis
cussed. They contemplate, however.
providing ample quarters for the fire
department, for city council chambers
and for jail The better quarters for
the fire equipment will result in les
sened fire insurance rate, state
both Mr.. WEIGH and Fire Chief
Hoffman, and the saving from that
source over q long period Of years will
undoubtedly offset to q considerable ex-
tent the cost Of the new hall. It is
planned to erect the building on the
present hall site. \ viii at hack from

The local project fits in perfectly
with President Roosevelt's public work
program 1t is argued that it Is the
patriotic duty for municipalities to Sc
cure loans and undertake projects of
worthwhile public Improvements at this
time, when 1t can be done in a rea-
sonable way and at not too great tax
burden. Only by this help, it is argued,
will the national administration be able
to make the public works program
success, the aim Of which is to provide
employment and create market for !
supplies and thus help to bring back
prosperity. Because of the very fine fl /
nancial condition Of the City Of Libby
local men have been reminded by GER
tain state officials that it is the city's
duty to take part In this public works
program.
Such loans as are here proposed are
being made by the government at a |
low rate of interest extending from
10 to 20 years, the specific terms Of the
contract being determined after the
local situation is examined by federal
agents.

Tells How To
Proceed To Secure
Farm Loans
Ray Payne Of Troy Is Secretary
Treasurer Of Local
Association.

Farmers of this county will be in
terested in the statement Just received
by Ray Payne, secretary treasurer .o)
the Troy National Farm Loan Associa-
ton, from J. A. Scollard, agent Of the
Farm Loan Commissioner. stationed II
the Federal Land Bank Of Spokane
telling how It is expected there will Be
a very substantial scale-down in the
debts of many borrowers because the
farmers getting loan will be able
to offer cash for settlement Of debts
which he might not otherwise be able
to pay.
Commissioners loans are being made
to reduce and rafinance farmers debt
on longer term basis, to supply work
ing capital and to refinance forecIosed
farms. The collateral accepted Is first
or second mortgages upon all or any
part OF the farm property, real or per-
soaal, including crops. Of course. before
the commissioner makes second mort
gage loan he will ask the holder Of the
first mortgage to waive foreclosure
rights IN accordance with the commits
sloner's regulations.
Loans are limited to a maximum Of
5000 each. These loans plus all prior
mortgages or other evidences OF indebt-
edness secured by the farm property
may not exceed rs per cent of the an
praisd value thereof.
During the first three years the loans
are IN effect, borrowers will not be re-
CURED to make payment on the princi-
pal It they are not otherwise in default
with respect to the conditions or cove
nants OF their mortgages. The loan must
be repaid in such annual or semi-an-
nual installmeats as will discharge the
debt within the agreed period.
The commissioners agent also points
out that these are collateralized and not
personal loans and that the financial
condition OF the applicant as well as his
history must be considered, including.
OF course, the ability of the farmer to
repay his loan. The properties. are an
praised by the Federal Land Bank ap-
prsiser and he uses the same general
values IN arriving at the value of the
to be offered as collateral. The
principal difference between the Fed
eral Land Bank loan and the commits
sloner,s loan is that the land bank loan
IS made only on the farm property and
can not exceed so per cent of the nor
NAL, appraised value Of the land plus
20 per cent of the insured, permanent
improvements whereas the commissions
er's agent may lend up to rs per cent
OF the normal value and accept second
mortgages and personal property as Sc
curity.
The agent points out that for the con-
venience Of the public the secretary
treasurer of the local national farm loan
association has been appointed as cor
respondent and that farmers should
find It convenient and satisfactory to
make their applications to this CORE
spondent rather than apply directly to
the agent stationed in the Federal Land
Bank.
