PRESIDENT
MAKES COMMODITY
LOANS AVAILABLE

Land bank commissioner loans viii
continue to be available to farmers
and ranchers of Montana, Idaho
Washington and Oregon under terms
of legislation signed last week BY
President Roosevelt, R. e. Brown
president of the Federal Land Bank
of Spokane, announced this week
Original authorization for these loans
expired June 1.
Land bank commissioner loans us.
ually are written as second mortgage
loans in connection with Federal Land
Bank loans, thus permitting loans of
as much as rs per cent of the ap-
praised agricultural value of farms
where that much credit is needed and
is justified by the security. Under
certain conditions, they may also be
written as first mortgage loans.
Interest rate on land bank commits
sioner loans is per cent, and the
usual term Of the loan is 20 years,
semi-annual payments on the princi-
pal retiring the loan by the end of its
term.
Originally authorized in 1888 as an
measure" Brown said
commissioner loans have filled a real
need in. farm financing. They have
enabled thousands of farmers to con-
solidate Indebtedness at lower rates
Of interest and begin to make pro-
gress in getting out of debt They
have helped many tenants become
farm owners. And, of course during
the depression, they made it possible
for thousands of farmers to keep
farms they otherwise would have lost
Il such loans had not been available.
Commissioner loans are made by
he Federal Farm Mortgage Corpora
ion through Federal Land Banks and
are serviced by local farm loan asso-
Citations exactly as Federal Land Bank
oans are serviced. In the 18th Farm
Credit Observation-Disclosures, Idaho, Ore
gan and Washington-there are 20,313
commissioner loans outstanding for a
otal amount of $31,922,55123."

In a wire to the SEC, which re-

that June Is is the deadline and said
that the company may ask and re-

Under no circumstances, I believe,

CONSUMERS"
The oil monopoly, profit electric
power group, aluminium industry ant
Isteel are defending scarcity and the
old order. Consumer co-operatives
entered the struggle this week. How
ard A. Cowden, president Of Consum
ers Cooperative Association, North
Kansas City, telegraphed Senator Nor
ris that GOA had organized a sub
sidiary group to develop power-al
cohol project. GOA is ready to &c
ahead If the War Production Board
can be forced to grant priorities for
copper and steel necessary to the con
struction of distillery. Other groups
most of them profit inspired groups,
have applied for priorities.
"That Is fine" Norris commented
when he got Cowdens telegram. 81
had hoped from the first that this
power alcohol program would be de-
veloped by co-operatives and for our
farmers and the consumers rather
than for selfish profits"
The significance of this immediate
long been one of the powerful dicta-
tors in official Washington. Much of
the power of the oil group has been
in the control of the natural resource.
Oil resources are limited, although
not nearly as limited as the oil mo-
nopoly has propagandized-with the
aid of government-the consumer into
believing. But still there is limited
resource and the scarcity" around
which vast monopoly power is built.
If the farm product-power alcohol
synthetic rubber program is developed
successfully, the natural resource will
be agriculture and the unlimited pro-
ductive facilities of our farms. The
grip Of monopoly may be shattered.
Just now, the fight revolves around
the tremendously important synthetic
rubber program. Synthetic rubber is
only the beginning. If we develop
tremendous distilleries to produce al
cohol, inevitably national research
programs will become associated with
alcohol. Our farms will become the
base to inspire our research and all
thoughts will not turn to oil.
Cowden's telegram heartened the
somewhat weary fighters for power
alcohol. Norris went before the SEN

Rudyard, Mont, June 8, 1912
! Editor, The Peoples Voice:
I am glad we dirt farmers have a
paper we can write to and offer CON
structive suggestions in an attempt to
help solve our farm problem. | be-
lieve now is our opportunity to bring
pressure on our government to build
plants to manufacture our agricultural
SURPRISES into synthetic products.
Grains, such as wheat, corn, rye and
POTATOES can be made into butadiene,
thence into synthetic rubber, as well
as alcohol for smokeless powder.
The 1888 Farm act authorized set
ting up laboratories for that specific
purpose The senate has ordered the
chairman of the committee on agricul-
ture and forestry to set up subcom-
mittee to gather Information as to
how surplus farm commodities could
be used for synthetic purposes. This
committee is now holding hearings.
1t is headed by Senator Gillette of
Iowa. Other members of this commit
tee are Senators Norris, McNary,
Wheeler and Thomas of Oklahoma.
This committee is faithfully working
to get plants started to manufacture
farm SURPRISES into synthetic prod
ucts, which we must develop during
our war emergency. We must have
synthetic rubber IL we had the rub
Der, we would need all of the petro-
leum we now have; and then there
would not be enough.
This committee has gathered much
information on this subject In the
last few weeks. They had an expert
from Poland before them, and they
found that Poland has 1000 plants
scattered around over the country
making synthetic rubber from grains
and potatoes. Germany has $4,000
small alcohol plants making alcohol
for smokeless powder and synthetic
rubber from agricultural commodities.
1T is assumed at this time Russia
has well over 100000 tons of synthetic
rubber production. 1t is clear that
agriculture, and not petroleum is the
source Of most of the alphabetically
rubber in Europe" This
committee has found, we are in pos
session of the process, we have the
money and we have the potential pro-
duction and resources.
This committee found that S650,000,-
600 had been allocated to the oil mo-
nopoly to produce synthetic rubber
from petroleum, but not one cent for
plants to make synthetic rubber from
agricultural commodities. This COM
mittee also claims the ever recurring
surplus problem will be solved after
the war, by developing new uses for
farm SURPRISES. l believe il that is
done this destructive control program
will not be needed, and it will free
the small farms units so they can
increase their production to at least
the acreage they have lost to the con-
troll program, and in many instances
they could be self sustaining; no
doubt If that is done there will be
more employment and less taxes, as
here would not need to be a multi
ude of relief agencies, which live off
If the peoples tax dollars.
If there is gas rationing, that would
)lay right into the hands of the oil
monopoly, as there would then be pc
roleum SURPRISES that could be used
hink?
Sincerely yours,
FRED AFTER.

HOLLYWOOD
LOT
BY TED TAYLOR

A thick black column of smok
pushed straight up into the Memoria
Day blue, sent an ominous SHADOW
across the lawns of Hollywood GENE
terry. Fire on the Paramount lot, ant
on holiday!
AS the fire apparatus came up clam
orously from seven directions the
black smoke already was fading tt
grey. Firemen ran hose lines into the
studio and damped down some EN-
bers.
Ten studio fire wardens permanent
ly on duty under John Anderson had
held the fire to one scene dock and
wing of a street set. Damage un
der $4,000. War precautions had
saved Paramount at least 100000.
Prlorltles Bring Realism Back
Under the $4,000 construction cell
ing sets are precious these days.
MGM's plans for the ancient Rome of
Quo Vadis, Universal's ideas for Arab
ian Nights are being reconsidered.
Studios are scouting one another's
sets for borrowing. The old practice
of borrowing real house instead of
reproducing 1t in the studio is re-
vived.
Paramount, instead of constructing
studio cave in For Whom the Bell
Tolls, may blast one out of a noun
tain.
Unions are comforting with man
agement on every possible conserva-
ton. Ten have set up committee
to make drastic changes in produc-
ton.
JUST-IN-CASE NOTE. Paramount
has completed all but the last scene
of Wake Islands. 1t will not be filmed
until every loose end of editing and
added effects is completed. Things
might be different in six weeks.
MODESTY. AL Jolson is reported
The Life of Al Jolson to stu
dos, among them Warmers and 2Oth-
Fox. But he doesn't want to play in
1t himself. Who do you like as AL
Jolson-Paul NUM- or Tyrone Power?
PROBATION. Broadway actor
George Yessner, arrived and imme-
diately changed his name to George
Ramsey. Someone tipped him pro-
1ucers would not like gags about hav-
Ing another Yesser around.

REPORT OF WORK
I'm SUPREME
COURT FOR week

DECISIONS
June 5th-state ex rel. Guy PaIag
v. Charles Regain, county clerk Of
Cascade county. This is an original
proceeding. The opinion of the court
prepared by Chief Justice Howard A.
Johnson.
Facts: Palagi in 1889 had been re-
moved from the office of sheriff of
Cascade county because Of excessive
campaign expenditures in violation of
the Corrupt Practices Act. He sought
to file petition for that office for
the term beginning January 1913. Re-
gan refused to accept his filing upon
the ground that the statute which pre-
scribed the effect of the violation of
the Corrupt Practices Act, disquali-
fled Palagi from being a candidate
until the term for which he was
elected had expired, i.e., January 1943
Held: That Palagi was entitled to
become candidate since to hold that
he could not be a candidate at the
next election would deprive him of
his constitutional rights.

Sam w. Mitchell, Secretary of State.
An original proceeding in this court.
Opinion of the court by Chief Justice
Howard M. Johnson District Judge
jeremiah J. Lynch sitting in place of

1871 which provides that a state Off
cial upon being indicted into the
army might be replaced temporarily
by an acting officer to serve during
the absence of the elected officer but
not beyond the term for which the
elected officer was elected. John w.
Bonner, the attorney general, sought
to take advantage of this act How

has done everything to discourage in
terest in it. We must not have that.
We must have an entirely independ-
ent administrative group where men

1t may be significant that despite
all the talk and the terrific demand
for rubber, there has been no display
of enthusiasm to push the oil-rubber
development. Oil companies are adj
hitting that plans for manufacturing
are still ON the drafting boards. It Is
now believed that not spadeful of
earth has been turned to build plant
and months have been lost.
