Lower feriijht rale and broader
. -.rrdit faeiline fir agriculture were
named by Mrrton I Corey, jeneral
attorney of the Federal Land bank
A Omaha, at jrcquisiitrs (ur a return
, to iroerity,' in a nccch before
Group 5 of the Nebraska Danker'
ociatinn here today. Construction
of the Great Lakes waterway and
drastic cuts in expenditure for arm
ament alio were characterized at
promiiing .permanent relief. He
criticized Governor VJ G. Hard
iiiK'a blanket charge of roliteeritiR
made againt country hanker and
urged a letup in the pressure for
liquidation.
"This i a period which test the
real banker," Mr. Corey aid, "There
- tre those who have thrown up their
' Sand and have given up the fight.
1 here arc others who, having been
, :aiiKht in the tide of speculative
; fevjr, have now completely reversed
their policy to an extreme conserva
tim. The great mas of banker;,
fortunately, are 'occupying middle
ground. They appreciate that the
most important function of the
country banker is the distribution of
credit when there is not enough
credit to go around.
Two Extremes.
"The absolute restriction of all
, loans to needy and deserving bor
. rowers, the refusal to rediscount any
additional paper, the determination
that the bank shall get out of debt
and stay out of debt, is perhaps quite,
as unreasonable as was the policy of
.plunging the bank into unreasonable
. obligation at the behest of any bor
rower who desired the money, for
any purpose;
"The problem of the financing of
the farmer is one of national concern.
, "When the price of farm commodities
. depreciated Si) per cent, it destroyed
the purchasing power of one-half of
1 the nation. Five million men are
now out of employment largely be
cause of the inability of the 'agricul
tural public to buy. The 19?0 cen
sus shows that in the Eighth federal
.land bank district, comprising the
states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Da
kota and Wyoming, there are 23 par
' cent of the entire agricultural land
values of the nation., Until, the ae
.ncuuurai conuiuons 01 ine nation in
: general arc restored, and particularly
; .until the Transmississippi valley,
which Is the heart of the agricultural
' wealth of the world, is restored to
normal, there cannoot be a rcsump-
' tion of normal financial and business
. activities. , .
No Time for Back-Biting,
"This is no time for back-biting;
nor the clashing of class against class.
I think it is au exceedingly urifortu-
l. nate time tor a statement of the char

Claiming evasion of the law on the

ry Ford, representing railroad broth
erhoods, filed a petition with the
state railway commission asking it
to force the Burlington to put three
men on light engine running from
one railroad divi.ion to the other.
Ford declared the Burlington was
evading the law which rail for
three men to a light engine when the
engine goes from one division to
another, by sending two men on the
engine to one division point and
then putting two new men on the
engine when it continued it jour
ney. Ford demand an engineer, fire
man and conductor ou light engines
and declare that the Burlington is
the only road operating in the Hate

In another petition, Ford declatc
that the morale of railroad switch
men is lowered because railroads
aren't obliged to light all switch
stands. Unlighted switchstands, it is
declared, is a constant fear in the
hearts of switchmen.
