A HIT AT THE FARMERS
Repuliiicans in con.e;ross are boast
ing of a Kreiit saving to the tax payers
by cutting down the appropriations
for various purposes. This may mean
a saving in money but is not likely to
be construed as a stop forward in this
age of progress and general develop-
menc. Time will tell.
But in this play to the galleries, so
to speak, the republicans are silent
in s.'voii languages on the proposi
tion one of their leaders, Represen
tative McKacIden, of Pennsylvania, re
cently inausjurated to tax the Feder
al Land Bank bonds and the joint
stock lantl bank bontls, now exempted.
They are evidently not particularly
anxious for the farmers to know that
the taxation of such bonds means a
higher rate of interest for them to
pay, for it is the farmers who would
jrny this tax.
Democratic representative.^ direct
attention to the fact that such a step
would cost the farmers of America
millions of dollars, and endanger, if
not.destroy, the Farm Land bank sys
tem. one 01 the greatest blesshigs an
American congress has ever bestowed
on the farmer. If the McFadden idea
prevails and the exemption is removed
it is believed that the Farm Land
banks will either have to go out of
business or raise the rate of inter
est on loans to farmers.
It will be remembered that when
a democratic Congress established the
Land Bank system, farmers were pay
ing anywhere from eight to fifteen
per cent on short term loans, which
they were often called upon to re
new. Since then they have been bor- i
rowing money from the land banks at .
5.5 per cent, and for any term they j
wished from five to forty years. Is j
it any v. onder that the loan sharks, j
who fattened off the farmers prior
to the establishment of the Federal
land bank:?, are clamor inc.- to have a
special tax imposed upon these banks? ■
If they succeed their “loan shark” i
ag>L“ncies will be reestablished and j
fleecing the American farmer of mil- j
I'Ous upon millions of dollars will ^
again become “the order of the day.”
The republicans have the power to
cnact the taxing measure mentioned.
Will they take the chance?
that the president had read the public
mind aright at that time. And the sen
timent haS| undergone no change. His
critics made desperate efforts to make
it appear that Mr. Wilson had not cor
rectly interpreted the attitude of the
j American public, but the people let
it be known pretty soon that “an
j overwhelming majority of them did
j favor the League and would stand
squarely behind him in his effort to
bring lasting peace to a sorely troubl
ed world.
In an effort to ascertain the views
of the people upon the League Cove
nant, in their respective communities,
a number of newspapers took “straw
votes” w'hich resulted in finding as a
fact that three out of four persons
questioned had declared themselves
unqualifiedly in favor of the Lea^e.
The “feeler” sent out by the Liteary
Digest was country-wide. To its in
quiry responses promply came from
1,337 editors. 718 of these declared
in positive terms, for America’s mem
bership in the League; 181 voted
against it, and the remainder, 478 in
number, answered 'y<^s, conditionally’
which indicated that they favored the
plan with some slight modifications.
The Digest’s “straw vote” of the
daily newspapers showed conclusive
ly that a subotantial majority of them,
at the time, were unqualifiedly for the
League of Nations; that an over-
v.’helming majority favored it with
some amendments; that only a small
minority opposed America’s entering
the League, and that the President
sized up the situation correctly.
The people were standing with
their leader then; they are with him
today.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank the good people of
Transylvania for their patronage, this
year, and I hope to be able to serve
them with potato slips again next
year.
