Scores of reservations have al- ready been made for this dance. cians The} for hearing yesterday afternoon in the court of Judge Rogelio Go- mez on a charge of assault and robbe The complaining wit- ness was Chester W. Harris. Mr. Harris alleged that while walking through the cemetery Saturday night he was assaulted by Garcia and a sum of money more than $20, was taken from his person. Severai witnesses were called and the committing magistrate, after hearing all the evidence, found probable cause and placed the defendant under bond of $300 to appear for trial at the next term of criminal court.. Looking At Washington (Continued from Page One) Mr, Austin points out, the figures] are merely estimates and may be subject to error. That the Roosevelt Administra- tion is making some progress in lining up the progressive senate group, is apparent. Senators John-} son, La Follette, and Norris are on record in favor of the re- election of the President and have the tacit support of the Democrats in their states. The latest reported move involves Senator Couzens of Michigan, who, it is thought, faces formidable opposition as a Repub- lican, The idea seems to be that the Michigan senator. who has not determined upon his course, ‘thay be given the Democratic nomina- tion along with that of an Inde- pendent Republican party. Sena- tor Couzens has been political! independent since he took the place of Truman H. Newberry but has been a supporter of most of the Administration’s policies. The states and their political subdivisions now owe the federal government something more than $1,000,000,000. The PWA' has loaned or obligated itself to ad- vance $594,456.652. The RFC has on its books loans for relief total- ing $299,984.999 and in addition $178,137,055 advanced for self- liquidating projects. The state of New York has borrowed from PWA about $186.000.000. Illinois is next with $57,000,000. and Texas is third w $44,000,000. From the RFC for relief Mlinois has received the largest amount, $55,000,000.

Assistant State Attorney J. Lancelot Lester, who was attend- ing a meeting of the State Demo- cratic Committee in Jacksonville, returned by plane this morning from Miami, OLD AGE PENSION Judge I. Muney Anderson, can- didate for state comptroller, to- day emphasized his favorable at- titude towards Old Age Pension legislation, and-stated that this is a subject of transcendent import- ance. “No other social question the present more urgently de- mands sagacious legislation, and yet the principle of granting old age pensions has met with more diverse kinds of opposition than any project yet brought scriously forward as a scheme demanding governmental support and con- trol,” Judge Anderson said of i with $34,000.000, and New zal third with $26,000,000. From the RFC for self-liquidating projects California has borrowed $99,000. 000. New York is with $15,000,000, and Loui: with $14.000,000.

His condition is of chief importance in studying the relation of farm mortgages to the agricultur- al problem. In 1930, 911,644 farms were owned wholly by those who operated them. Of this number 1,765,- 907 or over “0 per cent were absolutely free of mortgage Consider. also. these figures: 2, Total amount mortgage debtedness Total value of farms mort- of in- $ 4,080,196,000 10,815,736,000 farms operated by owners Total value of farms carrying no mortgage... 10,815,736,000 It will be seen that mortgaged in- debtedness is less than 40 per cent of the value of the land mortgaged, and less than 20 per cent of the value of all farms operated by owners. Farm mortgage indebtedness in the South- ern States is less than 16 per cent of the value of all farms operated by owners. Then consider that the total value of all farms operated by owners was $9,129,328,000 in 1900 and increased to $21,123,468,000 in 1930. This increase was nearly three times the amount of the total farm mortgage indebtedness as will be seen by comparison of the figures in the table at the beginning of this article. Have in mind also that this increase in farm mortgage indebtedness does not picture a depressed condition in agriculture but is on the other hand the result of unusual prosperity. Ab- normally high prices for farm prod- ucts prevailed. Take alsc the decade from 191U to 1920, conceded by all to be a period of great agricultural prosperity. The total farm mortgage indebtedness in- creased from $1,720,173,000 in 1910 to $4,003,767,000 in 1920. This tremen- dous increase was not due to any dis- parity between farm income and prices which the farmer had to pay but was due on the other hand to the desire of the farmer to ge_ rich quick through land speculation.

Contrary | to the prevailing idea in rural Amer- } ica the get-rich-quick fever is not con- fined exclusively to the vicinity sur- rounding the corner of Broad and Wall in New York City. | During this period farmers all over the country sold their farms at two or three times their original purchase price and bought larger farms and ssumed larger mortgages. Even as the silk-hatted gambler in Wall Street! H Although farmers all over the country joined in this speculative orgy those in New England, the East, | the South, and the Middle West were comparatively conservative. It was the farmers of the progressive states | of the West who became the real plungers. The ceiling was the limit! Over one half of the increase in mort- gage indebtedness for this period was ne out of the 48 states. It y surprise the stock gambler to d these states are the ones atives in Washington a al of that “ole devil” Wall Street—Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, lowa, California, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. The farm mortgag- indebted- ness igures for four of these pictures bout what happened in all: 1910 1920 $77.866.000 $254,475,000 62,373,000 168,507,000 146,850,000 354.574,000 204,243,000 489,817,000 The increase in farm mortgage in- debtedness of fowa for this period was greater than that of the six New England States, plus that of New Jer- Delaware, Marylasid, Virginia. h Carolina, South Carolina, ippi, Georgia, Alabama, Ar- Louisiana, Florida and West Virginia combined. Yet the mortgage indebtedness of Iowa is only fifty per cent of the value of the land mort- gaged. The mortgage increase in the little progressive State of Nebraska between 1910 and 1930 was greater than that of the six New England States plus that of New York, Penn- sylvania and New Jersey. Most farm mortgages are construc- tive and signify progress. To interpret a mortgage as signifying distress is stupid; the mortgage, when not abused, is a great instrument of in- dustrial progress. The fact that farmers in certain states have engaged in wild land spec- ulation and have lost, is no sort of | justification for special governmental aid. For men, under such conditions, to appeal to the government to as- sess the millions of consumers and thus compensate them for their losses, is to confess that they are incapable Minnesota ebraska Ww sin Io} of taking the dose they cooked up for themselves. Americans in the past lating joy rider hits th~ high spots! have proved that they can take it! (Address questions to the author, care of this newspaper) ‘CORAL GEMS GIVEN PRAISE may4-Imox| Rev, A. L.
