CONGRESS ENACTS FARM CREDIT LAWS
The closing hours of the session of congress which has
now passed into history saw the final steps in enactment
of the farm credit measure when it was signed by Presi
dent Warren (i. 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 ..

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.

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. That man is
Congressman N. J. Sinnott.
Some of the most ardent proponents of the project seem

Sinnott. 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

PIECEMEAL PATCHING IS NOT REVISION
Senator Capper of Kansas has introduced a bill for Fed
eral regulation of marriage and divorce. 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
