CHAOTIC FARM LOAN SITUATION HELD PROBABLE Tendency to Evade Full Payment Is Considered Menacing Factor. Editor'* Note—This U ihr sixth and Anal xrtirl* of > rIM on the farmer and the rredit altuatlon. BY COIIN F. WILLIAMS Timet Sproal Writer We are fast approaching the fine’ chapter of this story. It is not a question so far as I see it of an oppressed minority subjected to the demands of a wealthy ciass. That I know is the general impression one gets on the streets. The money that was loaned to these men who now demand the right to determine how much of it they will pay back came from bank depo hors, the average of whom is no more a person of wealth than my child who lost her little savings in a bank that had loaned it to Indiana farmers. The money originally belonged to men who desired to place it in investment trusts for their families’ benefit when they died. It belongs now to the *idow beneficiaries of those trusts \ o have no other inheritance. As against indigent persons of this type I fail even by the most careful scrutiny to see the equity in a demand designed to shrink the value of their inheritance. I have had the opportunity to see both sides of the story for many years. I am convinced that the careful, prudent farmers of this country are in line to suffer an untold loss when the credit resources that have been developed over a period of years are closed to them. Questions Raised Who among you charged with the safety of money is going to lend to any class of people when they are permitted by law to declare themselves aggrieved at you and carry you through a Federal Court to make you prove that you have at some time In the past foolishly loaned them more money than they could handle? Os whr.t ra’ue to them is your contract and your pledge to pay back the iuuds r you have received the benefit of them when a politician can devise a law declaring the contract vo.d? Is this not all an aftermath of our hectic post-war spree, one of the things that are taken care of as the business world takes care cf its merchants who overshoot their mark, as the professional man is liquidated when he gambles out of turn, as the newspaper, the factory, the bank or whatnot is taken ovt or closed when it has demonstrated its inability to manage its own affairs. Equality Proposed Are you able to say that among all these men and businesses, the only man entitled to unending relief is that small percentage of American citizens, the bankrupt farmer who got that way himself? Are you as able to give to all our American failures, and the credit rating houses show us that 94 per cent of all businesses started in the

BAR BABY'S VISIT

■ii i mi'll •

All dressed up for a visit with his father was Mannfried Hauptmann when, as shown here, his mother carried him from their rooming house in Flemington, N. J. But Bruno Hauptmann did not get to see "Bubi,’’ the warden banning the visit on the grounds that visits from the child always upset the prisoner.

SIO,OOO DAMAGE SUIT IS FILED AGAINST CITY Plaintiff Blames Obscure Lighting for Fatal Accident. Suit for SIO,OOO was filed against the city of Indianapolis yesterday in Superior Court by Scott A. Pennington, 117 W. 21-st, administrator of the estate of his wife, Mrs. Minnie R. Pennington. The suit alleges that because of obscure lighting of the underpass at Kentucky-av and S. Missouri-st, Mrs. Pennington received fatal injuries when Mr. Pennington's car struck pillars at the intersection June 15. United States fail in the first ten | years, the same unlimited relief that apparently is about to become a part of the life of our inefficient farmers? If wo are ready to do this, then by all means in the name of equality, let the thing apply uniformly j throughout the social fabric of our nation. Let us now design laws to protect the most inefficient man in any line of business and hold his editors at bay. When that day comes, we shall have the millenium, all of the questions of debtor and creditor shall be answered and the lion shall lie down with the lamb.

ARMS EXPERT RAPS MACHINE GUM BILL Most Destructive Weapon Exempted, Is Charge. The legislators who introduced a biii outlawing the sale of .45-caliber machine-guns as u means of curbing crime are defeating their own purposes, C. E. Aadms, 2927 E. 19th-st, widely-known fire-arms instructor, said today. Mr. Adams said that chromograph tests at the Brandywine Laboratory of the Du Pont Powder Cos. had shown that the muzzle velocity of a 45-caliber machine-gun is only 600 to 900 feet a second, while the velocity of a .30-caliber machine-gun, sale of which would be allowed under the law, is from 2200 to 3000 feet a second. The speed at which a bullet is traveling determines, largely, its destructive force, he said.
