Land Banks Set Farm Refinancing Pace
 Tn Emergency BW Approred by House
By FRANK |. WELLER (Aegsciatod Press Farm Editcr)

A
 WASHINGTON, April 26.-T'he federal land banks, pioneers in the farm credit field since 1917, pro- ceed again as pacemakers under authority of the emergency farm mortgage bill passed by the house.
 During the next two years the bin would permit the offering of a maximum of s2.0O0,0oO,oo0 CT 4 per cent bonds, the proceeds of which would be lent at Az per cent interest on first mortgage security,
 Twelve Land Banks
 The banks, located in l2 key cities, act virtually as a single in stitution, They now have $l,2S3,-. 100000 of gross loans outstanding to farmers at an average of 5l9 per cent interest against which they have $l,l47,407, APO of bonds out standing to the public at approxi- mately 4is per cent interest. Limited to an interest spread of l per cent, the land banks rate to the farm borrower has been gaug- ed by the rate of interest it had to offer to sell its bonds. The gov. ernment guarantees the interest on the $2,0O0,000,0oO issue and the bonds are tax free.
 Interest Reduction Aim
 The hope is to attract sufficient investment at per cent to. en- able the banks to reduce their in terest charges to Az per cent for the next five years to present bor- rowers and for the next two years to new borrowers. No payment on principal will be required for five years. Most loans are expected to be amortized over a period of 30 years.
 Adding to the prestige of the fed eral land banks, the new farm credit administration governed by Henry Morgenthau, jr., operates en- tirely through the board of d1rec- tors for the land and federal in. termediate credit banks.
 Associations Farmers Contacts
 A farmer may go direct to his federal land bank for a new loan or to refinance an old mortgage, but it is required that, where they exist, he apply to the national farm loan association which ap- praises his property and lends him money it has borrowed from the land bank on his mortgage. These associations are expected to be the farmers chief point of contact with the farm credit administration in .refinancing and sealing down first mortgage debt
 Side by side with the land banks and one to each federal land bank district are the federal intermediate credit banks which make commod- Eity loans to cooperative farm mar |keting associations and crop pro- duction loans to farmers applying through local farm credit corpor- |ations and livestock loan compan- ies. s,' These latter agencies make 60 to 90 day loans on chattel mort gages which they post with their own notes in borrowing funds from the intermediate credit banks. ! Crop production loans may also be financed from funds lent by the Reconstruction Finance cor- poration, which set up regional ag-i ricultural credit corporations to make such production loans to farmers in areas unable to produce the capital for locally owned credit corporations.

THE WAY OUT OF TAX CHAOS

At last comes the opportunity to create order out
of the tax chaos.
In Washington on Feb 3, representatives of state
legislatures will meet for conference on taxation
President-Elect Roosevelt has Endorsed the proposal
splendid" one and has urged that all states be
represented.
I'm the past" Mr.. Roosevelt wrote "the federal
government has passed revenue legislation with too
little consideration for state taxing systems and
the other hand the states have legislated with
little reference to the federal revenue plan and with
almost consideration for the tax programs of other
states"
These words make it clear that the tax conference
is of first Importance and also that if it is to be
appreciably successful, it must include the federal
government.
This newspaper in the past has advocated a ma
tonal tax conference precedent to any general re-
visions of either state national revenue systems
1t believes that Mr. Roosevelt in this connection has
precisely the right dea and that those sponsoring
the national conference here are on the right course
If the federal government, through congress- takes
hand, the opportunity at last will be presented
for readjustment of all taxes and coordination of
them.
Only by that means we believe, can national state
county, and municipal tax burdens be readiusted and
lightened.
1t is truism that until the tax load is ightened
prosperity still will Turk around that corner

THE FINAL MESSAGE

The final message of Governor Leslie to the stAe
legislature is typical of an administration that is
happily almost finished
He reported that he leaving Indiana with
clean slate and more than seventeen millions of dol
lars in the treasury.
Immediately other state officials challenged the
declaration with the information that instead OF a
balanced budget the present fiscal year for which
Leslie is responsible will deficit in state funds
of nearly three millions.
That there should be a controversy over so simple
q matter as the state of the public treasury is in
keeping with the entire conduct of the whole adj
ministraton in which, most matters the people
have been in darkness as to the real condition of
public affairs.
That he pointed to the cleaning of the state
house at a suspicously high figure as an accom-
plishment that he praised the conduct Of state
institutions as nonpartisan when they have been
purely political that he forgot the apathy toward
problems of unemployment and even his own veto
of the old age pension bill, is all in character.
The new administration nherits problems Gre
ated by inaction or unwise decisions, not fat bank
rolls.

THAT IS NOT REPEAL

The so-caled prohibition repea. resolution sub
mitted by the senate subcommittee Thursday is not
an outright repeal It's effect is merely re-
vision 1t would substitute for the eighteenth amend
ment another amendment prohibiting liquor ship
ments into dry states and giving congress power to
prohibit saloons
Two or three years ago. perhaps such a half
way measure might have passed But not after the
American electorate has declared-aS it did last
November-for outright repeal
OF course dry states should be protected from
LIQUOR imports from wet states, they pro-
tected before prohibition But there is already such
law, which automatically will be in effect upon
outright repeal of the eighteenth amendment There
is no excuse for putting such provision in the
Constitution
Nor should the Constitution outlaw saloons. That
is clearly a matter for the individual states to de-
termine according to the will of the people of those
states Chief purpose of the entire prohibition re-
peal movement is to return to the states the power
which properly belongs to them.
Not content with drafting another prohibition
amendment under the cloak Of repeal. the senate
subcommittee turned its whole resolution into Bit
ter Jest by specifying that ratification shall be by

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

T HAVE been reading Mr.. Van Looms Geography
i (and what would I not have given for such a
textbook in my youth?) To attempt to enumerate
its good points in limited space is impossible.
The most striking fact you gather, however as
you stroll the earth after its author is the
paratve well-beng of the people who live in small
countries and the despair of those who dwell in large
and powerful ones
If, for instance, you called Denmark home, you
probably would not be rich but, then, neither would
you be poor. For this little land is the wealthiest
per capita in all Europe.
There is no illiteracy and its homes can boast
s1nore books than those of any other nation the
globe There are no farm mortgages for the farmers
own few acres each and, not being imbued with
the idea that they should grab everything in sight
they all get along comfortably without going into
debt.
There is no standing army, navy, and only
corps of state police to keep order In short this
government regulates its affairs that the greatest
per cent of happiness may be enjoyed by the greatest
number of its people.
A GAIN, if you lived in Switzerland or Sweden or
Norway or Iceland or Finland or Holland you
might not have so many chances to get fortune
of standing in breadline as you do in the United
States; or of living on a dole they do in England;
or of being kicked about in the name of the govern
ment, as they are in Russia, of being blown into
bits by enemy bombs, provided you citizen of
any country that aspres to world power and dreams
of empire.
And that you ask me, is something. Perhaps
through the long slow process call evolution, the
words of the Lord Jesus viii come true. It may be
that some far-of day the meek shall inherit the
earth and the humble be exalted.
After the ambitions have destroyed themselves
utterly, those who love peace may rule the world.
Butt almost hear your shout--how about Bel
GUM?
Well, Belgium, I think, can be said to be, even
now as fortunate proud Germany that not
long strobe ruthlessly through her fertile fields
Marching to meet disaster. -

state legislatures rather than by special state
ventions as proposed by both Democratic and Re-
publican platforms.
One hundred thirty-:our senators in thirteen
rural dry states could block national ratification
under the legislature method.
This proposed senate resolution represents the
last stand of the dry minority and has no relation
to the present situation. 1t can not be passed I'M
less both Democrats and Republicans repudiate
their campaign pledges which is improbable
Since the lame duck house. by narrow margin
failed to pass the Democratic outright repeal resolu
ton, It has been clear that repeal legislation must
be put until the recently elected congress takes
office. Revision resolutions ony obscure the issue
Meanwhile, the only remaining real prohibition
fight in the lame duck congress is over senate ac-
ceptance of the beer tax bill already passed by the
house.
And the issue there is not SO much prohibition as
revenue-a major and vital issue of saving over
burdened taxpayers and helping to balance the fed
eral budget.

FUN WITHOUT MONEY.

If you find time hanging heavy on your hands
tonight, look up one of the eleven Leisure Hour
clubs which will give programs in as many parts
of the city
Within four months, the movement to furnish
fun without money in Indianapolis has grown to
great social force in which thousands are finding
not only an entertainment, but more neghborly
spirit.
Each week many thousands attend these gath
erngs and discover that it is not necessary to spend
money in order to find some occupation for hours
that would otherwise be monotonous.
The indianapolis movement is attracting national
attention and there is every reason to believe that
next year other cities will organize along the local
pattern
In these days when more and more men and
women are talking of shorter weeks and shorter
work days the question of what will be done with
leisure time is not the least important factor.
Boiled down, it is a school of cooperation which
may furnish the to other problems we'll

CALVIN COOLIDGE

Calvin Coolidge, the individual symbolized re-
straint. Yet within his administration occurred
Americas most lavish era.
1t is of historys strangest contrasts that this
silent, frugal New Highlander should have been
President during the years that saw Wall Street at
its widest that saw the hectic expansion of the
cities; markets booming debentures piling upon de-
bentures, stocks towering day by day and month by
month, roads and bridges and buildings spawning
easy money-a glowing, coorfu landscape that the
then distant cloud Of hard times on the farm could
not dim
America had its fling And America knows now
that if some of those traits which characterized
Calvin Coolidge personally distinct from the
Coolidge administration had been applied in the
years when the fling was on, we would not be where
we are today.
Those personal traits of temperance and caution
and restraint and thrift contributed greatly to the
amazing popularity of Calvin Coolidge, the man.
AS to Calvin Coolidges place in the history of
American politics:
Only an unusual man could have held his party
together after the dsorganization of the Harding
administration Only political leader of extraor-
binary skill could have returned his party to power
as he did.
Historians Will credit MIN with political courage
Time and again he vetoed legislation favored by
veterans farmers, or other large blocs of voters,
against the advice of timorous associates.
Even those who disagreed with his conservative
philosophy admired the sincerity and frankness of
his loyalty to it. He believed that the welfare of
the nation rested with the Republican party and
the interests represented So to the party he gave
his lifes labor and devotion.
It was his good fortune to retire from public life
and party leadership before national prosperity COL
lapsed and the Republican party went down to
defeat.
His closing years were happy and peaceful. He
rested in the respect of the nation

Questions and

Q-What is the difference be-
tween denatured alcohol and wood
alcohol?
A-Grain, or ethyl, alcohol
forms the basis of all fermented
liquor, and can be produced from
grain, potatoes, or any vegetable
matter that contains starch or
sugar. Wood or methyl alcohol is
derived from the destructive dis
tillation of wood. When a small
percentage of the latter is mixed
with the former, it is rendered
non-potable, in other words, de-
natured. Other substances may
also be employed as denaturants.
