BETTER LOAN SYS- j TEM FOR FARMERS INCREASE OF TIME FOR PAY-| MENT OF NOTES AS WELL ! .AS LARGER. Permanent organization of the Na-! tional Council of Fanners Cooperative Marketing Associations was authorized in the closing session of a three-day conference of representatives of farmers' associations in all parts of the country in Washington last week. The purpose of the council will be to handle common problems of cooperative marketing bodic without conflicting with activities of other associations and acting as their mouthpiece. Modification of the present agricultural loan system to give farmers nine months credit paper, instead of six months, and to incrcas I to $25,000 the maximum basis of J loans from farm iand banks, was) recommended in resolutions unanimously adopted. Amendment of th? federal^ reserve law to meet th special jequirements of farm credits and to permit the financing of farmers and their cooperative societies was also favored. The general policy for the coun-1 cil, as laid down, favored the local banker as the primary reliance of the farmer for production and marketing. Erection of a farm credits department in federal land banks, with capital sufficient to issue farm credit to the maximum of six hundred million dollars, also was endorsed. This department would discount or purchase agriculltural paper and make loans to cooperative marketing associations. None of the farm relief measures now pending was endorsed by name, but the House and Senate banking and currency committees were requested to incorporate the conference recommemdatjons in one rural credits of the nine credits bill already before Congress. . The conference in its formal declaration of policy, held that cooperative associations should ask nothing from the federal government other than enactment of legislation to permit farmers and their organizations the same access to the federal credits system that all other industries now possess. The Interstate Commerce Commission was requested by the conference to institute hearings for the purpose of opening the whole question of revision of freight rates, with the view to possible lessening of the burdens borne by shippers of primary commodities. Sounding the gavel for adjournment, Carl Williams, of Oklahoma, president of the American Cotton Growers' Exchange, declared the conference to have had the important move in Ameracan history for the lw,ftapmant of ths f?rmpr Not only will agriculture benefit, he declared, but the consumers of farm products everywhere will share in the reforms expected to come from the dscussions here. o STATE RIGHTS INVOLVED IN KU KLUX QUESTION. President and Congress Drawing Sharp Lines on Vexed Questions. (Capital News Service) Waschington, Dec. 18.?President Harding has indicated his lack of sympathy with those who desire that he "disband" the' Ku Klux Klan by presidential proclamation. His viewpoint is said to be that the activities of the Klan are not matters for federel supervision; that if their activities are illegal, their correction and punishment is wholly a state matter, and if legal, no presidential proclamation is required. ' At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue the fight over the Dyer antilynching bill, conducted along state rights lines, presents the same argument. Lynching is held to be a crime against state laws, to be punished by state officers according to state codes. T VtsvlsJ fViof fKoro ic nn * 1IVIU wuuv ?MV?V >w ?V more necessity for the federal government to add either penalties or law enforcement processes to those already in existance in^the states for lynching crimes than \for any othei variety of crimes .against the person, committed in ? etate. Capital city constitutional lawyers . generally hold that the political system of forty-eight United States, functioning under one central government, has grown to be the greatest nation in the world because of the ideals fostered by divorcing federal government from local matters, a* Voom'nff lrwal /-nnditions from dictat ing national affairs. In their viewpoint every encroachment by the national government upon the rights and perogatives of states, and evenpresumption by a state to take upon itself the direction of national affairs, is a blow at the fundamental < American form of government. Hence the president's stand in re [gard to the Ku Klux agitation, and the strength of the fight against the Dyer bill is encouraging to those who believe that the form of governmen which has worked so well for smany years should be continued i:i force and effect without change, o One way to take the evil out of j l weevil for next year is to destroy [cotton stalks and other hibernating places now. ?; NOTICE.
