NOTES FROM THE
NORTH EAST
Miss Lena Cole, who has been
seriously ill, is improving and will
soon enjoy her usual health.
Lysle and Artur Wertz returned
home from Sidney, Nebraska, recently
where they had employment; they
a’so visitcd-Canada‘ making the trips
with an auto.
Politics appears to be in evidence
in this part of the county, and am in
clined to think that if the weather is
favorable a large-vote will be polled;
in fact larger than for several years.
In conversation with one of the
county officials he mentioned the good
condition of the public highways in
Willowdale township which is cer
tainly encouraging to the resident tax
payers who are instrumental and who
advocate good roads.
James Welch, of Knoxville, has the
foundation completed for a new resi
dence. This will be modern and when
completed will be one of the up-to
date farm residences in that part of
the county. Floyd Wertz, of Page, has
RE-ELECT
JUDGE J. R. DEAN
OF BROKEN BOW
For Second Term from Sixth Supremo
Court Judicial District as
Judge of Supreme Court.
Separate Non-Political Ballot.
8ldney Telegraph: “Judge Dean’s
record as Supreme Judge shows
opinion after opinion by him, es
tablishing the constitutionality of, or
repelling attacks upon laws for
Woman Suffrage, Bank Guaranty,
Rights of Freight Shippers, and tho
like.’’
the contract for building.
Feeding of calves seems to be gen
eral and demand strong with attract
ive prices. The existing conditions
arc unusual, prices at par or nearly so
with cows and heifers. Farmers that
can and will hold or even buy more
will be winner as these conditions
will, no doubt, be the source of a
shortage of cattle.
Mr. and Mrs. Wadsworth were Sun
day visitors at the Wertz home. He
reports the bridges on the county line
completed and the county line road in
good condition. Mr. Richard Wads
worth is overseer of highways in
Road District No. 43, Willowdale
township, and deserves credit for be
ing instrumental in the improvement
of the public highways in his district.
We are informed new corn prices
will be 50c per bushel. Old corn is
in demand at still higher prices. We
made the prophesy some months past,
when thousands of bushels were being
shipped out of the county, at prices
under SOc, that inside of three years
corn would be shipped into the county
at much higher prices. We have not
changed our mind relative to the
matter.
The local farmers lines that have
not consumated a settlement relative
to the connections between those two
lines is the source of much dissatis
faction among the subscribers of both
of the lines. The Railway Commis
sion advises us that they do not have
jurisdiction and as it appears at this
date, the subscribers, to get the
service they demand, are willing to
pay for and are justly entitled to, will
be compelled to resort to other means.

RECORDS SHOW WILSON
HIMSELF URGED LIMIT
ING FARM CREDITS
Washington, Nov. 2.—The Demo
cratic party is resorting to desperate
means to escape the »odium of the
policy of drastic deflation and restric
tion of farm credits which it put into
effect during the last 18 months of
Wilson’s administration to the ruin of
agriculture and the prostration of
business and industry.
Speakers have been ordered by the
Democratic National Committee to
deny Democratic responsibility for the
policy of deflation. They have even
gone sc far as to charge the Harding
administration with having brought
about deflation. Even so prominent a
Democrat as William G. McAdoo de
liberately falsified the records in a
Speech he recently made in Montana,
probably forgetful of the fact that he
wrote an article in December, 1920, de
nouncing the drastic policy of deflation
which, he said, had by that time ruin
ed the farmers and was causing col
lossal losses in agricultural sections
of the country.
The Democrats have no (‘scape from
their record. There can be no doubt
but that the policy of restriction of
agricultural credits was inaugurated
by the Wilson administration. There
can be no doubt but that it was delib
erately inaugurated. There can be no
doubt but that it was planned for the
deliberate and express purpose of
breaking agricultural prices. The
proof of this is found in a message
w'hich President Wilson sent to Con
gress August 8, 1818, at a time when
railroad labor was threatening to
strike unless wages were increased.
On that date, in that message refer
ring to a reduction in cost of living to
railroad labor. President Wilson said:
“What we can do we should do at
once, and there is a great deal we can
do, provisional though it be. Wheat
shipments and credits to faciliate the
purchase of our wheat can and will be
limited and controlled in such a way
as not to raise, but rather to lower the
price of flour. The government has a
power within certain limits to regu
late that.’’
The plan which the administration
immediately put into effect was a re
striction of credits so as to force a re
duction in the price of all farm pro
ducts. At that time the Federal Re
serve Bank interest rates were 414 per
cent. One of the first things the Fed
eral Reserve Board did after Presi
dent Wilson’s message to Congress,
above quoted, was to increase the
Federal Reserve rates. Its next step,
which was taken in January, 1919, was
to order loans to be radically reduced.
If Mr. Wilson’s message were not
sufficient to fasten the guilt of defla
tion of farm prices upon the Demo
cratic party, there is still other testi
mony of even more recent origin. The
New York Times, the leading Demo
cartic paper of the country, in an edi
torial on October 17, 1922, attempted
to defend the policy of deflation which
the Democratic party put into effect.
For this it was taken to task in a com
munication by John Skelton Williams
under date of October 19, 1922. John
Skelton Williams was Controller of the
Currency during President Wilson’s
administration. As such he was a
member ex-officio of the Federal Re
serve Board and he speaks with au
thority and first-hand official knowl
edge. In his communication, Mr. Wil
liams said:
“The board is composed of seven
members, including the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Controller of the
Currency who are members of the
I ' ■ «— mi ■_ i i -- «u-.. .„ 1
i ard ex-officio; and during the most
R tructive months of deflation, while
lthe s ystem was reducing credits about
one thousand million dollars, the only
member of the board who resisted and
«PI>osed the board’s drastic deflation
policies and their radical enforcement
were two Democratic members—the
Hon. Henry A. Moehlenpah, of Wis
consin, and the Controller of Currency
from Virginia.”
At the time Mr. Moehlenpah was a
member of the board there was no Re
publican on tho board; it was solidly
Democratic. The other members we re
Charles Hamlin, of Massachusetts, a
life-long Democrat and a follower of
Woodrow Wilson; Adolph Miller, a
Democrat of California; John Skelton
Williams Controller of the Treasury;
William P. G. Harding, Governor of
the board, and a life-long Democrat of
Alabama, and David S. Houston Sec
jetary of the Treasury and Democrat
hi rn in North Carolina, educated in
Carolina and for a long term of years
a college professor in Texas. This
j was the membership of the Federal
] Reserve Board at the time Mr. Wil
li mums characterizes “the most de
structive months of deflation while the
system was reducing credits about
$1,000,000,000,”
Continuing Mr. Williams states:
“On January 28, 1920, I had called
the attention of the hoard, by letter
to the gross abuse and misuse of
credit in the New York district, and I
showed that the New York Reserve
Bank at that time was lending an
amount equal to six times its own
capital—that is to say, six times the
capital of the Federal Reserve Bank
< f New York—to one member insti
tution, notorious for its Speculative
activities. I also showed thatthe money
which the New York "Reserve Bank
had loaned to one conspicuous banking
institution which was speculating
heavily on its own account and whose
officials were also heavily steeped in
speculation amounted to nearly twice
as much as the aggregate amount of
loans and discounts which the Federl
Reserve Bank of Dallas was lending at
that time to all ot its members, banks
in that great district embracing the
entire state of Texas and parts of
Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mex
;co and Arizona. I also showed the
board that in order to make those huge
leans to favored institutions the New
York Reserve Bank was borrowing
ever $118,000,000 from seven other
banks.
‘ The unfair distribution of Federal
Reserve funds during the deflation
period is indicated in the official rec
ords, which prove that as late as the
autumn of 1920, when the demand for
fluids from the farming interests and
fr. .1 general business throughout the
( atry was particularly acute, the
Federal Reserve system was found to
be. lending to the national banks alone
in New York City, in proportion to
their total loans and discounts, three
times as much money as the Federal
Reserve System was lending at that,
time to all of the 7,GOO ‘country’ na
tioal banks scattered throughout the
fcrty*-eight states of ihe Union. These
records also show that in several
states the Federal Reserve system was
charging to its member banks under
the so-called ‘progressive’ plan as
