Farm Loan Usury
Secretary of Ihe Treasury Fall has informed President
Harding and his cabinet, as a result of a personal investiga
tion, that Lanka m the southwest are profiteering oy
practicing usury in reloaning government funds advanced
by the War Finance corporation for the reuei 01 iarmers aim
stock-growers.
Fall declares that millions of the federal fund loaned to
banks in the present agricultural emergency at 6Va percent
have been reloaned to farmers and stockmen for as high as
12 percent. In addition many of the banks have charged an
extra commission for procuring the loan, despite the fact
that the law prohibits the charging of more than two percent
above the government Interest to cover costs.
The same charges have been made in congress for some
time by Texas congressmen, who declare that Kve-stock
associations have been organized by the packers working in
conjunction with their banks to further their control of the
livestock industry. This is the natural result of a law
which is so framed that it aids banks rather than farmers
by forcing the latter to pay tribute to the former or go
without federal aid.
"The government is not going to tolerate usury, and all
interest charges over 7J2 percent for government loans is
usury" declares President Harding. But instead of prose
cution and disciplining of the delinquent banks, the pres
ident says that he "relies upon the newspapers to help term
inate the evil by broadcasting the fact to stock-growers and
farmers that if they pay more than iy percent for govern-)
ment money, they are being defrauded."
The proposed remedy is quite characteristic of the admin
istration, and quite futile. The borrowing farmers in the
banks' power, are not in a position to protest. All who receive
loans are quite cognizant of the law and of the usury
exacted-they can pay or lose the loan, and protest would
lose it in a majority of cases.
Emergency farm loans should be made direct to the farm
er, just as federal land loans are. This will eliminate usury
and unfair practices. Under the present law, new money has
not found its way to the farmer who is benefitted only as the
bank carrying his credit is benefitted.
Legislation is proposed to provide for rediscounting
through the Federal Land Bank act, which will provide for
semi-investment paper of agricultural communities and thus
solve a most important problem.
Let Pandemonium Reign
When it is desired to "put anything over" in Portland
nowadays they resort to noise instead of appealing to reason.
The 1925 exposition sentiment was worked up by means
of bombs, sirens, jazz and clamor. The "community chest"
drive, for the organized charities of the city, is to be ushered
in by the same hullabaloo, as a sure and certain way get
results in the Oregon metropolis. To quote the Oregonian:
Noise? And then gome. Deop-throated sirens, capable of casting
their bellowing a full ten miles, will shout, bidding the city remember

band will lift a lively tune. Not a noon will pass without the
crusning detonation or annul bombs above the business district.
For once however this appeal to dull intellect is in behalf
of a worthy cause. As emotion replaces reason in Portland,
let pandemonium reign.
John Storm Calls
"You must be careful, child
John Storm admonished. "Theo
dore Stratton baa the reputation
of making women into stars and

"And t what?" I Interrupted
quickly, and even to myself my
roloe sounded strange.
"And of breaking their hearts."
"I do not bell ere It." Eren as
I said It the saddened face of
Maud Sanson came up In front of
me. , " .
"Oh I wish you had" not told met
this, Mr. Storm. Don't you seel
that my only chance of getting'
on, the chance I must hare be
cause I haven't any money to buy
eren a wardrobe la this one which
Theodore Stratton has offered me?
And to do It well I must believe
In him a. well as mjaelf.'"
Yes, I understand and I do
not mean to discourage you. You
know, Virginia, that I am your
friend and I came here tonight to
tell you that almost the last thing
Rla said to me as she bade me
goodbye this morning was: "Take
care of Virgle. Sbe will not get
Into trouble except through Ig
norance of worldly ways.' "
He smiled a little Quizzical as
he continued telling what Rla
said. " 'Although I do not think
that you are so worldly yourself,
but we are told that two negatives
make a positive. Perhaps two in
nocents, like yourself and Virgle,
might make a wise one.' "
"Hello, Virgle." Jack Thompson
peeped his head Into the . door.
"Gee, but I am sorry. I heard
about it over at the Chinese res
taurant and cams over to see If
you were a vlotlm."
"Oh, Jack, I have lost every
thing I bare In the world!"
"Here, cheer up, Virginia. We
are all for you. Need any money?
Ill lend you half my check for
today."
i Deneve mat am me more
good than all the things that John
Storm had said to me. Right then
and there I learned that all of
the people in the world the mov
ing picture actor, as well as the
actor of the speaking stage, is
most generous. He will divide his
last dollar with you.
John Storm In punctllllous ob
servance of the condition, had
left my door open. Jack Thomp
son had rushed through it and
shut It with a bang. That is Just
the difference between the two
classes. One insists upon telling
the whole world that the things
he doeg are all right, consequent
ly he doesn't care what the whole
world thinks.

John Storm looked at Jack with

frankness, which wss htg most at
tractive quality, had met with in
stant favor.
It was the best thing that I
could possibly happen making
out the list for It took my mind
away from my loss to put It down
on paper.
Soon we were on our way to
the police station and the red
tape waa cut quickly by John
Storm. I was taken directly to
the chief's office and made my
deaposltlon and left the written
account of my loss.
On the way back I heard some
one say: "Virgle. Wake up!" and
I found that Jack was gently Bhak

"I didn't know I had gone to

"Why you have been asleep an

But It omy takes five mln

Yes, but you were asleep be
fore we had hardly gotten Into
the car. Mr. Thompson suggested
that the nlr would do, you good
and so we drove around a bit."
Jack closed the eye toward me
slowly. I was mystified. I did
not understand what he meant
until he was taking me upstairs
when he divulged his reason.
I waa so tired, lVrgie, that I
knew I couldn't sleep. And be

might be expected, witness a fall

To the contrary, prohibition has
proven a boon to the glass manu

when "J. B." ruled supreme.
