J larding. It is universally agreed that the Jegislation, which combined the leading measures aiming towards facilitating credit on farm products, is one of the most important measures of recent years in behalf of the agricultural interests of the country. The new bill creates two distinct rural credit organiza- .. r 1 1 , - I:... 1:. 1 1 -.1 u .. lions Hie ledeiai miernieoiaic cieuu immus aim na tional agricultural credit corporation. The former is placed under the control and management of the federal farm loan board and the latter under the supervision of the comp troller of the currency. The agricultural credit associa tions will be organized along the same lines as that of na tional banks. These associations are most likely to be or ganized in livestock districts and are especially designed to meet such requirements. The credit departments of the federal land banks consti-j lute the contribution from the original Lenroot-Anderson 1 bill. J, ast reports, how'ever, indicate that an important1 change has been made in the law as adopted. The original . bill provided for a capitalization of five million dollars fori i-:cb denartment which may be increased to ten million dol-i Jars in times of stress with the approval of the president of the United States. It appears that this feature has been eliminated, leaving only the original capital stock. The importance of this is immediately recognized wiicn it is, considered that the basis for debentures is the capital stock; and surplus and that the issuing of debentures is limited to : ten times the capital stock and surplus. The new law prac-j lically cuts in half the amount that may be available for! credit purposes as a result of the issue of debentures, lnj periods of stress instead of having a total capital stock ' basis of $ 1 jo.ooo.ooo there will be only $00,000,000 in capi-; tal stock in the u credit departments which are to ue es rnblished under this act. The debentures that are to be issued must be based on. agricultural and livestock paper discounted for or purchas-, cd from banks and other financial institutions or co-opera- live marketing associations. Paper so discounted or pur-j chased mav run for a period of not less than six months or; more than" three years. The assets and liabilities of the, farm credit department are made separate and distinct: from the assets and liabilities ot the larm mortgage uepau menls in each federal land bank. It is generally believed that the new legislation will have as its chief result the reduction of interest rates on agricul tural paper. The Producer. llSTRiSCEJ VlGARETTEf nA DELIGHTFUL jf nFLAVOR U.

UMATILLA, OREGON Joathe t precede THANKS TO SINNOTT-y 1 It is no more (has fair to point out the man to whom Pendleton and Umatilla county and, in fact, the entire In land Kmpire, is indebted for the successful piloting through congress of steps to gain the $50,000 appropriation for a survey of the Umatilla Rapids project.

In face of opposition from active workers in Washington for the Columbia I'asin project, and a gen eral desire tor limiting appropriations, our congressman ;:av the one big chance to cash in on the emergency appro priation bill, and he stuck by his guns until he not only se cured inclusion of the $50,000 for Umatilla Rapids but like wise was instrumental in securing the appropriation for the Columbia I'asin project. At first, Mr. Sinnott incurred the displeasure' of Spokane people because of his efforts in behalf of Umatilla Rapids, but now tbev realize it was his commanding position in public lands committee and with the reclamation depart lii.'tii iIkii enabled their annronriat ion to tro through and the Chamber of Commerce of Spokane has admitted this I'ait in a telegram, thanking Mr. Sinnott in behalf of the Tieople of the Columbia Hasin country. Mr. Sinnott has always gone to the bat for Pendleton and L" mat ilia count y and he is a man of such power and influence in Washington that he has usually been success ful. It is to he, hoped that his efforts will not be so easily forgotten in the momentary heat of some transcendental passion in the future as they have been in the recent past Pendleton Tribune.

This cannot be come law until after the adoption of the constitutional amendment, which he offered at the same time, to open that field for national action. The proposal is backed by the Federation of W omen's Clubs. In the long run marriage, successful or unsuccessful, touches the lives of every one of us. To put that ma:;cr vnder the suervision of the government at Washington is certainly a striking example of centralization. At present, -late laws v ary and things are mixed. People may be law fully married in one state, not in another. Children may lie legitimate in one state, not in another, and so deprived of certain lights. The subject needs attention. Hut it is only one of a doen or more great subjects which raise these same issues. Why tackle them haphazard one at a time? Why not do a good job? And finish up all these matters so that they will stay finished? Patching does not look nearly as well as weaving, nor wear, nor hold. Let's weave a whole cloth, a solid, united Constitution.

Of course it. is the fashion with a good many to insist that they do not WYx 'o see their name in print. However, (lure are times when one cannot help per mitting it. If you are active in some charity work, or th.'re. is a wedding or deatti in the family, the name goes in. So fince it ir going In it is well to remember that mly through your co-operatio.i can it bs put in to your comP'tti satisfaction. Tha right way la to tell the editor or some one connected with the paper all the particulars, or, better still, write It out and mail it or send it or take It to the newspaper office. This insures Its correct appearand in the paper and prevents just such mis takes as some people contend the newspapers make too often. Co-f it erate with your horns papei, give out items of interest without forcing the news man to get them In a round about way. And you'll roon see how much more valuable to you your homo paper is.
