FARM·LOANS ACT SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT RECEIVED EXECUTIVE APPROVAL AND BECAME LAW MONDAY, JULY 17 SYSTEM OF LENDING MONEY ON FARM LANDS FOR RELATIVE-LY LONG PERIODS The federal farm loan act, popularly called the Rural credits law, was signed by the president and became a law on July 17, 1916. The primary purpose of this act is to promote agricultural prosperity by enabling farmers to borrow money on farm mortgage security at a reasonable rate of interest and for relatively long periods of time. To attain this object, two farm mortgage systems are provided. First, a system operating through regional land banks, and second, a system operating through joint stock land banks. To attract money to the farm loan field the act provides a method whereby those who have money to lend can find safe investment in the form of debentures or bonds, of small and large denominations, issued by the banks and based on the security of mortgages on farm lands. These two systems are to be under the general supervision of a Federal farm loan board in the treasury department, composed of the secretary of the treasury, as chairman ex-officio, and four members appointed by the GREAT COTTON CROP The first bale of Imperial cotton of the season was ginned at Calexico the other day. It was bought immediately at 15 cents a pound. There are 100,000 acres of cotton in the valley, and the early estimates of 80,000 bales are now pushed up because of the thrifty condition of the plants. Some estimates put the crop at 100,000 bales, of which 30,000 are long staple. The growers look to get $7,000,000 for the crop, including the seeds. Another cotton crop, of the Southwest will be harvested this year in Arizona, and this is nearly all Egyptian cotton, worth 23 cents a pound. The United States is the greatest producer of raw cotton in the world, yielding two-thirds of the world crop. Lack of capital and hands to work it heretofore compelled the country to sell most of this cotton to foreign manufacturers. The war has given a great impetus to cotton manufacturing in the United States. A report from Washington the other day said the consumption of linter cotton in the United States in the month of June aggregated 68,098 bales, compared with 53,903 last year. For the eleven months ended with June the consumption of this cotton in the country amounted to 847,539 bales, compared with 362,958 last year. Linters on hand June 30 in consuming establishments aggregated 107,361 bales, compared with 199,356 last year, and in public storage and in compresses the stock on hand was 166,953 bales, compared with 103,560 last year. We ought to have a cotton factory somewhere here in the Great Southwest to work up the important crop produced right at our doors.

Booth of Los Angeles So much confusion has been caused in connection with the republican candidacy for the United States Senatorship in California as to the position of the National Republican Committee on the contest, that National Committeeman, W. H. Crocker wired to the chairman of the national committee for a statement of the committee's attitude on this subject. As a result of the exchange of telegrams National Committeeman Crocker read the following statement at the banquet tendered to Nicholas Murray Butler at the Palace Hotel, Saturday evening. "It is important that the people of California should understand the facts in regard to the contest for the United States Senatorship. In order that the republican party may be in a position to execute its policies and to give full support to the administration of Mr. Hughes, should he be elected president, it is necessary to elect a republican senate and a republican house of representatives. "It is necessary that there shall be in both senate and house a real republican majority, made up of men who have not only supported Mr. Hughes in the election of 1916, but who are convinced believers in republican principles. The great task is to secure a republican majority in the senate. This cannot be done unless the newly elected Senator from California is a genuine republican." In accordance with precedent, the republicans of the state conceded that at this time their candidate for senator should be taken from Southern California. Willis H. Booth, whose candidacy was announced six months ago and who has been well received in that part of the state, is opposed by the increase in er than the tonnage war. Robert Net increase at 33 tion continues unrestriction and distortion are dec is prolonged, the The act provides for the creation of local national farm-loan associations through which it is contemplated that the Federal land banks shall make their loans. In the event that a local loan association is not formed in any locality within a year, the Federal Farm Loan Board may authorize a federal land bank to make loans on farm land through approved agents. Ten or more persons who own and cultivate farm land qualified as security for a mortgage loan under the act, or who are about to own and cultivate such land, may form such an association, provided the aggregate of the loans desired by the membership is not less than $20,000. Each member must take stock in his association to an amount equivalent to 5 per cent of the amount he wishes to borrow. This stock the association holds in trust as security for the member's individual loan. The association, in turn, when applying for money from the bank, must subscribe for stock in the bank to an amount equivalent to 5 per cent of the sum it wants to obtain for its members. This stock is held in trust by the bank as security for the loans it makes through the association. If a prospective borrower has no money with which to pay for his association stock, he may borrow the price of that stock as a part of the loan on his farm land. Under this plan, then, every borrower must be a stockholder in his local association, and every association stockholder in an association is liable stockholder in an association is liable for the acts of that association up to twice the amount of his stock. In accordance with precedent, the republicans of the state conceded that at this time their candidate for senator should be taken from Southern California. Willis H. Booth, whose candidacy was announced six months ago and who has been well received in that part of the state, is opposed by Judge Walter Bordwell, also from Southern California, who announced himself a candidate on July 13. "It is now announced that Governor Johnson, who states he will vote for Mr. Hughes in this election, is not a republican, but the vigorous enemy of the republican party and its interests, is to compete for the republican senatorial nomination, as the law unfortunately permits him to do. "It has been asserted that, with a view to securing the support of former progressives for Mr. Hughes, the republican party leaders in the East have favored Governor Johnson for the republican senatorial nomination in California. "I have made careful inquiry and am in a position to say positively that there is no ground whatever for statements to this effect. I know that it is the intention of the republican party leaders to take no part in this purely California question. All they ask is that the republican party shall do everything in its power to elect a republican to the United States Senate, and to secure the electoral vote of California for Mr. Hughes."

SUGAR FACTORIES PAY GROWERS: BIG BONUS Fix Premium of $1 Per Ton Above Contract if Sugar Prices are Maintained The sugar factories of California have agreed to another 50 cent bonus to growers of beets for the 1916 season provided the price of sugar does not fall below 4½ cents. As the refiners had already agreed to pay a bonus of 50 cents a ton, the additional bonus of 50 cents, which went into effect this week, means that the sugar beet farmer will receive a full bonus of $1 a ton for his produce, besides the regular market price, as it is believed that sugar will not only remain at its present high level, but will go even higher. On an estimate of 850,000 tons of beets for the 1916 crop, the total bonus that will be paid the growers will represent nearly $1,000,000 in addition to the standard price. This standard price the refiners found hard to pay before the war, but since the outbreak of the European cataclysm, approximately two years ago the sugar industry has been one of the many business enterprises of the United States to profit tremendously by the misfortunes of the countries of the Old World. The additional bonus of 50 cents a ton which the refiners have just granted to the growers of California represents the share of the producers in the war profits of the sugar industry. The Great Western Sugar company, operating mainly in Colorado, granted this bonus to the growers of that state several weeks ago, so the announcement made by the California refiners did not come wholly as a surprise. enactment now, with an initial cost to the treasury of $50,000,000, is to enable the president and his son-in-law to boast that they got a ship purchase bill through, in spite of the protest of every body interested in shipping. FOREST SERVICE BUILDS SCENIC TRAIL Work has commenced on a trail between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite valley through the Eldorado and Stanislaus national forests, according to a report given out by the district forester this week. The proposed route will follow the road south from Lake Tahoe through Lake valley to Border Ruffian via Luther’s pass through Hope, Faith and Charity valleys. From Border Ruffian it will be constructed through Indian valley, thence across the Carson Big Treet road through the upper drainage basin of the Mokelumne, thence down Arnot creek and Clarke’s Fork to its confluence with the Stainislaus river. From here it will follow the Stanislaus river to Relief reservoir, from which it will lead directly to the Yosemite Valley via Bond pass. Much of this route lies at an elevation of between six and seven thousand feet and is contiguous to such wonderful scenic regions as Blue Lake, the Dardenelles, and Mokelumme and Stanislaus canyons. This trail, which is primarily for the use of campers and recreation seekers, will have a minimum tread of 30 inches, and in no place will its grade be more than 15 per cent. Turnouts will be provided in dangerous places, and the switchbacks are to be wide and level. It will be blazed throughout its entire length, and monuments and trail signs will be placed at all cross and branch trails, creeks and camp grounds and points of interest. A distinctive feature of this trail will be the invention of the boards of supervisors of California. "California," said Gordon, "with less than four per cent of the population and less than two per cent of the steam railway mileage, furnishes nearly five per cent of the deaths and injuries reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission. During the three ously by the misfortunes of the countries of the Old World. The additional bonus of 50 cents a ton which the refiners have just granted to the growers of California represents the share of the producers in the war profits of the sugar industry. The Great Western Sugar company, operating mainly in Colorado, granted this bonus to the growers of that state several weeks ago, so the announcement made by the California refiners did not come wholly as a surprise. Few people realize the great part that has been played by the sugar beet industry in keeping down the cost of the staple which is so indispensable to the individual. According to the testimony produced before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the Southern California-Texas sugar rate case the beet sugar refiners furnish the people of the country with sugar at prices from 50 cents to 75 cents less than the cane sugar refiners. Besides this, the beet sugar refiners, by their competition, in a field where the cane men had formerly had a monopoly, kept prices at a much lower level than would have been the case if the cane refiners had had the situation wholly within their hands. With the great profits that are assured the sugar beet growers of California by reason of the new bonus, the sugar beet industry in this state will receive a great stimulus, it is stated. Hundreds of additional acres will be laid out to beets, and many undeveloped districts of the state will be put into cultivation. There is no reason why California should not eventually become the greatest beet growing state in the Union, as the climatic and other conditions there are practically ideal for the culture of the sugar beet, the authorities say. ALL THE REASONS ARE GONE In its latest form, as reported at this writing, the ship purchase bill does not meet any of the needs it was designed to fill, according to its prospects. It is not necessary to the revival of shipping. All the shipyards of the world are running full blast. The increase in tonnage is far greater than the tonnage lost as a result of the war. Robert Dollar estimating the net increase at 337,837 tons. Construction continues unabated, while the destruction and diversion of mercantile tonnage are decreasing. If the war is prolonged, the net increase will be This trail, which is primarily for the use of campers and recreation seekers, will have a minimum tread of 30 inches, and in no place will its grade be more than 15 per cent. Turnouts will be provided in dangerous places, and the switchbacks are to be wide and level. It will be blazed throughout its entire length, and monuments and trail signs will be placed at all cross and branch trails, creeks and campgrounds and points of interest. A distinctive feature of this trail will be the pastures for travelers' horses, 12 to 18 miles apart along its entire length. Between Brightman's flat and Eureka valley a drift fence will be constructed which will form a pasture of about 600 acres and will afford pasture sufficient to feed 35 head of horses. Several summer's work will be necessary to complete it as planned. The Tahoe-Yosemite trail, in conjunction with the John Muir trail now under construction by the forest service in cooperation with the state of California, will extend 250 miles along the backbone of the high Sierras, and will open to travelers and campers regions of great scenic interest. MOST DEATHS CAUSED BY CARELESS DRIVERS State Railroad Commission Talks of Accidents at Crossings That carelessness on the part of drivers and pedestrians is primarily responsible for the alarming increase in fatalities at railroad crossings, is the gist of an address by Alex Gordon of the California State Railroad Commission, made recently before the convention of the boards of supervisors of California. "California," said Gordon, "with less than four per cent of the population and less than two per cent of the steam railway mileage, furnishes nearly five per cent of the deaths and injuries reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission. During the three years ended June 30, 1915, 249 people were killed and 1093 injured at grade crossings in this state. The record is always much worse in the summer than in the winter. "There are over 10,000 grade crossings in California and $30,000 would be a low estimate of the cost of eliminating one crossing. To separate grades at all of the crossings would cost over $300,000,000 and it is, of course, out of the question to consider any such an expenditure at this time. Neither the people nor the railroads can stand it." Meanwhile existing conditions must be met. It has been suggested that the legislature should pass laws requiring all motor vehicles to come to a full stop before passing over a grade crossing. To my opinion a better suggestion is a law requiring the drivers of motor vehicles to drive slowly when approaching an intersection of a track and highway. Personally I have not a great deal of sympathy for the careless driver who gets hurt in a grade crossing accident. But our figures show that when a driver is hurt or killed, three Slip a few Prince Albert smokes into your system!

Robert Dollar estimating the net increase at 337,837 tons. Construc-tion continues unabated, while the de-struction and diversion of mercantile tonnage are decreasing. If the war is prolonged, the net increase will be still greater. This condition disposes of the early reasons urged for the bill. The only consequence of the agi-tation was a temporary postponement of private investment. As soon as the bill seemed doomed there was great activity in shipbuilding. The second, and belated, reason was the building of a naval auxiliary service. This provision, which included enrollment of crews as reservists, has been dropped from the pending bill. The third reason was the development of new trade routes. That this would require a drain on the treasury could not be denied. This reason is at least inferentially abandoned, for the government is forbidden to operate ships at all, unless it fails to lease, after ad-vertising for bids. There is always the possibility, however, that the routes may be specified, in the interest of particular ports or particular kinds of commerce, and that the terms of leasing may be so severe that private companies will not accept them. In that event the government may operate the ships at a loss. The proposed regulations of shipping conditions have been considerably modified. The provision for an ex-officio shipping board has been eliminated. The bill is now divested of all the features to which democratic senators objected. But few positive merits are left.

Last September may be taken as a typical month. Three auto drivers were killed in the state that month and ten occupants of the automobiles were killed at the same time. Nine drivers were injured and thirty-seven other occupants were injured. These other occupants of the vehicles struck by trains were in many cases—possibly in most cases—relatives of the drivers, often wives and children, and if the careless driver when left to himself so far forgets the safety of himself and those who are nearest to him to jeopardize their lives in this fashion, it is time for the law to step in and tell him what he must do to guard them." The popular impression is that most grade crossings result from railways being opened across highways. As Commissioner Gordon makes clear, the fact that most of them are due to highways being opened across railways and many of them are more of a menace than convenience to the public.
