Politics Barred t * in Land Banks Omaha Farm Loan Institution Directors Oppose Efforts to Check Appointments. Board of director* of th* Federal Lank bank of Omaha at It* monthly meeting yesterday criticized the bill Introduced In the United States sen ate by Senator Borah, which, If it be comes a law, according to the board members, would require the senate to confirm the appointment of all ex ecutive officers of the federal farm loan system. The opinion was unan imous that Senator Borah's bill would throw the farm loan system Into pol itics. The Omaha federal bank has made a remarkable record. The bank ha# made gross loan* exceeding a total of $100,000,000. These loan* have been made to more than "0,000 Individual farmer borrowers in the states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. Directors of the Omaha bank are of the opinion that a complete inves tigation of the operation of the farm loan system, accompanied by full pub licity, would be beneficial to the sys tem by attracting actual farmers who are prospective borrowers to Join the system. The federal land banks have been successful under the guidance of the federal farm loan board in Washing ton, and especially since the federal land banks have operated profitably to their farmer stockholders, the sen timent was expressed that unfriendly criticism of the system Is not justi fied.
