FARMERS NEED FOOD; SEED ACT TOO STRINGENT A Arkansas Merchants May Solve Problem if They Can Discount Notes. Bu KcriDVs-Hotcard Xctctvaoer Alliance MARIANNA, Ark., Feb. 11.—Only twenty-two of the 5,500 fanners In Lee county have qualified thus far for government seed loans because of the stringent regulations. Colonel Elgan C. Robertson, executive vice-president of the Lee County National bank, and chairman of the local Red Cross and seed loan committees, said there are not six farmers in this locality who will not have to make some provision for purchasing food before the 1931 crop is harvested. “The seed loans provide no food for the farmer and his live stock and lands are already mortgaged to the merchants who furnished him food last year,” Robertson said. ‘The farmer has no prospect of obtaining food loans and the seed loan specifications are so binding serious complications will arise if a borrower diverts some of this loan to purchase food.” Merchants Hold Notes Practically every farmer receives his supplies each year from a “furnishing merchant” who collects when the harvest is made. Last year with only half a normal crop and other crops blasted by drought, these merchants could not be paid. They can not borrow money to furnish supplies to the farmers this year. They hold mortgages on the farmers’ livestock and land, but foreclosure would be of small benefit. One such merchant last year furnished SBO,OOO worth of provisions to 400 families. Now he is without credit because he can not liquidate the paper he holds for that amount. These merchants, however, are-still hopeful of obtaining sufficient credit to enable them to carry the farmers through another season. This, they say, is their only way of recouping last season’s losses, or at least, a part of them. Food Is Needed “The farmers are looking to the merchants, not the government, to help solve the food question,” Robertson said. “And the merchants are looking vainly in all directions for aid. If the merchants can arrange to carry these people, some 15,000 of the 18,942 persons receiving Red Cross aid will no longer need these free rations.” Lee county has a population of 26,600. Business leaders here, as in other sections of the famine area, assert the problem would be solved if the government included food loans with the seed loans. “Every farmer would take advantage of the seed loan if he could get food at the same time,” one banker said. TAX EXEMPTION ASKED Home Owning Would Be Favored Above Marriage for Income Levy. Marriage should provide no exemption under a state income tax, but home ownership should, Representative Cecil J. Kistler (Rep., Elkhart) told the Indiana -University Club at the Columbus Club. “In our taxes on personal property,” Kistler said, “we don’t exempt a man because he has only SI,OOO worth of property. Under our present form of taxation, the man who feels he should have a home for his family is carrying the freight for the man who makes $3,000 a year or more, but feels that it is unprofitable to own a home. “We should have a tax that will put the burden back on the man W'ho is making $3,500 a year or more.”
