In the course of an attack on the Regional Reserve Banks, established
under the Democratic Currency Bill, published In the newspapers of July 31#
ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown says:
“However, the law does not force the borrowing banka to loan
money to farmers, and recent developments have proven those
latter banks are ‘not in the market for farm loans,’ hence the
Regional Bank system IS A NULLITY 80 FAR A8 RELIEF TO
THE FARMERS IS CONCERNED.”
It would be absurd to suggest that the law should force a bank to 2en /
money to any Individual, but the law passed by the Democrats DOES
PERMIT national banka outside Central Reserve Cities to lend money on
farm lands, a privilege which for more than fifty years has been denied
them under the Republican law. For half a century farmers and fanners’
organizations have complained that their security was blacklisted by the
National banking law. But farm lands have been taken off the blacklist
by Section 24 of the new Currency law passed by the Democrats and signed
by President Wilson on the 23d of last December, as follows:
“Section 24. Any Naional banking association NOT SITU
ATED IN A CENTRAL RESERVE CITY may make loans secured
by improved and unincumbered farm land, situated within its Fed
eral Reserve District, but no such loan shall be made for a longer
time than five years, nor for an amount exceeding fifty per centum
„ of the actual value of the property offered as security. Any such
bank may make such loans in an aggregate sum equal to twenty-
five per centum of its capital and surplus, or to one-third of Its
time deposits and such banks may continue hereafter as hereto
fore to receive time deposits and to pay interest on the same."
It Is expected that there will be twelve Reserve Cities: New York#
Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, Chicago, Cleveland, SL Louis, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, San Francisco, Dallas and Atlanta. Banks in Central Reserve
cities will not be permitted to make five-year loans because they will be in
cities where thousands of other banks will go to get money when It is needed
for commercial and agricultural purposes. But every other bank In the
United States is free to lend money on farm lands, which the National banks
were prohibited from doing until the Democratic law was passed.
If the man referred to in ex-Govemor Brown’s card who made applica
tion for a loan by the National banks of Atlanta, had read the law, he
would have known that the Atlanta banks, expecting to be in a Central
Reserve city, which will be the money reservoir for several States, could
not, under the law, be ‘in the market for farm loans.” Then It might have
occurred to him to apply to ex-Governor Brown’s National bank, which has
authority to make farm loans and which can be “in the market" for them.
Read the law quoted above and see if this is not true.
The farmer’s land is no longer blacklisted by law at the National banks
scattered all over the country as was the case until last December, and
that, certainly, Is a step forward for the farmer.
Before the Currency bill was introduced Senator Hoke Smith intro
duced a bill permitting National banks to lend money on farm lands and
this plan, proposed by him, was Incorporated in the Currency bill and Is
now a law.
Dr. H. E. Stockbrldge, editor of the Southern Ruralist, upon seeing the
attack on the farm loan feature of the currency law, wrote to forty-two
country national banks ip Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida#
asking if they would make farm loans under the terms of the new law, and#
without exception, they replied that they would. On# bank stated that it
was already making such loans. These letters are on file In the Ruralist
office in Atlanta, and the statement herein made will be substantiated by
Dr. Stockbrldge.

Athens Herald: Mr. Stephens
has received the warm en
dorsement of many members of the
bar all over Georgia, not only in his
home city, but in the cities and small
er communities as well. No organi
zation seeking to control judicial af
fairs in Georgia is behind his can
didacy and If elected he will go to
the bench free and not trammelled by
any hampering influences.
The Savannah Press says: Alexander
W. Stephens Is a nephew of Alexander
H. Stephens, also nephew of Judge Lin
ton Stephens of the supreme court of
Georgia. His father was John Alex.
Stephens, a prominent attorney of
Crawfordsville, and a law partner of
Alex. H. Stephens, and at one time
was adjutant general of Georgia. In
Mr. Stephens’ library are the law and
political book* of Alexander H. Ste
phens. On his mother’s side he Is the
grandson of the late William Wingfield
8impson of Hancock county. He Is de
scended from the Wingfield family ot
which there are numbera of descend
ant# in Georgia.
Opponent Is Police Recorder.
While Mr. Stephens has been In the
active practice of law for the past 17
years, his opponent has been out of
the practice for the last 15 years, act
ing as recorder, or police Judge, of
the city of Atlanta, a position which
affords no legal experience whatsoever, I
it not being a court of law where
law cases are tried. The only duties
of said recorder are the trial of petty
offenders against the city ordinances,
| such as drunks and disorderly cases,
j and to bind over crap shooters, chick-
' en thieves and other offenders to the
: state courts.
Newspaper Comment on Mr. Stephens’
j Candidacy.
Montgomery Monitor: Mr. Stephens
is a lawyer of recognised ability.
Waynesboro True Citizen: Mr. Ste
phens Is making tire race for the court
of appeals and is a most popular can
didate. His race is being conducted
Id a most clean manner, and he is
winning friends wherever he goes. I
Athens Banner: Mr. Stephens is an
able lawyer and well known through
out the state.
Macon Telegraph: Mr. Stephens is
considered a lawyer of ability and
character, and with the judicial tem
perament. His friends say that he
would make an ideal judge, able,
strong and fearless. He is an author
ity on law, and every one who knows
him is confident that as far as ability
is concerned, there Is no one in Geor
gia better qualified to fill the high
office to which he aspires.
TECHNICALITIES.
Extract from a Copy of an Artlcla En
titled “Reform In the Judicial Admin
istration of Justice,” by Alexander W.
Stephens, Appearing In the Central
Law Journal of August 16, 1912.
Much is Kald against tho so-called
“technicalities'' of the law. While some
of the discussion Is Instructive and In
telligent. most of It consists of mere
generalities and demagogic assertions,
However this may be. no one can Intel
ligently defend any rule of procedure oi
“technicality** which does not aid the
court In arriving at a speedy and proper
determination of the case before it. The
technicalities of the law, as Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, used to «ay, are
mere Instruments to be used only for the
purpose of bringing about Justice; and
in so far aa they fall of that purpose,
!♦ may be added, they have no place In
