The dirt farmers: charge that the Coolidge scheme is planned to offer relief to the bankers but not for the bankrupt farmers. The statement of President Coolidge, that has aroused the ire of the dirt farmers, was: as follows: “It will serve no useful purpose to lend money to a farmer who is in such a position that at any moment mortgage holders and general creditors can fall upon him, sell his lands and seize ‘his property.” Non-Partisan League Convention: ?
