State Journal: Representative Mc
Mahon and coauthors of H. R. 355
caused to be substituted Monday for
the incomplete schedules fixing maxi
mum rates for telephone service in
the state the bill prepared at their
request by Rail Commissioner Bollen.
The bill fixes the maximum charges
which telephone companies may make
a schedule that Mr. Bollen said, gen
erally speaking, is about 20 per cent
less than the rates charged by the
Northwestern Bell company, which op
erates in Omaha and north of the
Platte river, while they are about the
same as those of the Lincoln company,
which largely supplies service to
twenty-two southern and southeastern
counties. In some instances the maxi
mums are higher than the latter com
pany charges and in other instances
lower. They are, on the whole, high
er than the small companies generally
'operated with profit as a secondary
consideration. Above these rates the
commission may not go, altho it may
prescribe lower charges.
After definitely defining what the
various terms used mean, the bill sets
out schedules for eleven different
classifications. The main charges are
as follows:

A FRIEND AT COURT
“I believe thoroughly in agricultural
eeducation. I regard it as one of the
most important and essential branches
of the whole educational effort that is
being carried on in the United States.
I am a firm believer also in the value
of the cooperative research and experi
mental work and the extension service,
which state institutions in cooperation
with the Federal government are rend
ering.
“I think it would be nothing short of
a disaster if any of this work were
seriously curtailed. Particularly in
these times when farmers are having
such a desperate struggle to maintain
themselves, I think it supremely im
portant that they should have the
benefit of the expert advice that col
leges, experiment stations and exten
sion services are able to give them and
it is equally important that we should
continue to hold out to their children
opportunity for an education that will
make them something more than field
drudges.
‘‘I am glad that I have the oppor
tunity of expressing myself on this
subject on which I have very strong
convistions.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to
the Editor of The Progressive
Farmer.
OBITUARY
Elbert Timplin was born in Wash
ington county, Ten., February 26, 1847,
and died at Neligh, Nebr., February
^3, 1933 at the age of 85 years, 11
months and 23 days.
He came from a family of 12 child
ren, being a son of John and Hannah
Brown-Templin. His boyhood days
were spent in his native state where
he grew to manhood. On November
23, 1870 he was united in mrariage to
Mary Malinda May. They continued
to make their home in Tennessee until
1881 when they came to Nebraska,
first locating at Brock in Nemaha
county. After a year’s residence there
they moved to Jefferson county and
settled on a farm near Reynolds. In
that county they resided for 28 years,
removing to O’Neill in the spring of
1910. Mrs. Templin’s death occurred
at O’Neill September 13, 1910.
More than 22 years since the death
of his companion and help-mate he
has made his home most of the time
with his son and daughter-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Templin, but at
times with some of the other children.
About eight years of this period was
spent at O’Neill and for the past 13
years he has lived at Neligh.
Fourteen children were born to El
bert and Mary Templin, all of whom
are living. The eldest son is 61 years
of age and the youngest is 40 years
of age, a notable family record.
The children are: Eugene Templin,
Hubbell, Nebr.; Mrs. Pearl Hutson,
New Serepta, Alberta, Canada; Frank
Templin, Eldorado, Kansas; Mrs.
Estella Krebeck, Neligh, Nebr.; Wal
lace G. Templin, Neligh, Nebr.; Wil
liam A. Templin, Spokane, Washing
ton; Edgar L. Templin, Shelton, Ne
braska; Ralph G. Templin, Fort Worth,
Texas; Samuel 0. Templin, Neligh,
Nebr.; Clem T. Templin, Kansas City,
Missouri; Mrs. Margaret Lang, Alex
andria, Nebr.; Mrs. Ruby Priefert,
Reynolds, Nebr.; Bernie Templin,
Reynolds, Nebr., and Mrs. Allie Mc
I Call, Lincoln, Nebr.
Mr. Templin knew what it was to
undergo hardships and privations. He
worked hard, not only in his younger
years but was active even in his de
clining years. He was a good hus
band and father and lived according
to the teachings of his Master and the
Ten Commandments. He was up
right, fair and honest in his dealings
with men and his word was as good
as a bend.
No more will we feel the grasp of
his vanished hand or hear his voice
which is stilled but we are consoled
for we know that he was pure in
heart and lived a good Christian life.
Both Mr. Templin and his good wife
United with the Baptist church at
Reynolds, Nebr., in 1900.
We cannot help but feel that the
world is just a little better because
Elbert Templin was privileged to
live and labor in it for many long
years.
Besides the large family of grown
children he leaves 37 grandchildren
and nine great grandchildren, as well
as a host of other relatives and
friends.
Funeral services were held at the
Samuel Templin home northwest of
Neligh at ten o’clock Monday morning
and interment w’as made in the family
burial lot at O’Neill. Services were
in charge of G. B. Dunning, Christian
minister of Neligh. xx.

THE FEDERAL INTERMEDIATE
CREDIT BANK
Omaha, Nebr., March 2.—The use
of the facilities of the Federal Inter
mediate Credit Bank of Omaha, which
discounts agricultural paper for local
lending institutions, has increased
steadily since the bank wa3 organized,
according to a statement made here
today by D. P. Hogan, president of the
institution.
From organization of the bank in
1923 to date it has made loans or dis
counted farmers’ agricultural paper
for local lending institutions amount
ing to approximately $42,000,000, not
including renewals. This has meant
an accommodation to approximately
16,000 farmers in the states of Iowa,
Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyom
ing.
Mr. Hogan pointed out that there
has been a substantial increase in the
number of institutions borrowing from
or discounting agricultural paper with
the Federal Intermediate Cedit Bank
of Omaha in the last four years. For
instance, in 1928, in Iowa there were
two such organizations dealing with
the bank and there are now 20; in
Nebraska there were 10 while now
there are 18; in South Dakota there
were 14 whereas the present number
is 17; in Wyoming there were three
and now there are six.
Mr. Hogan explained mat me muie
local institutions offer farmers’ paper
for loans or discounts to the Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank the greater
will be the service which the institu
tion can render to the farmers of these
four states. He said that the interest
rate which the Federal Intermediate
Credit Bank has been charging during
the last year is the lowest since it was
organized, that on July 15, 1932 it
reduced the interest to 3V4 per cent.
He pointed out that the bank, altho
capitalized by the Federal government,
secures its loanable funds from the
sale of debentures in the big money
markets. These debntures are tax
exempt and carry the reputation of
being of being prime short-term se
curities. Congress last winter added
to the desirability of this paper by
making it eligible for loans from Fed
eral Reserve Banks to the banks
which are members of the Federal
Reserve System.
Mr. Hogan pointed out that the rate
which the bank makes to the local
lending institutions, also to the farm
ed^’ cooperative marketing associa
tions upon their commodities in stor
age, is not the rate which the borrow
ing farmer pays for the funds to the
local institutions which are permitted
to charge as high as 3 per cent in ad
dition to the rate which they pay the
Intermediate Credit Banks for the
funds obtained from it. Thus the
farmer-borrowers at this time are get
ting funds which come from the Inter
mediate Credit Bank at a rate not to
exceed 6 Ms per cent.
The Federal Intermediate Credit
Bank makes loans on farmers’ notes or
discounts the same only when the
money has been obtained for an agri
cultural purpose such as the produc
tion of crops, the marketing of them,
cr for the feeding, breeding or raising
if livestock. The primary advantages
to farmers securing the loans of this
character are that the loans can run
for a period which is longer than the
average commerical bank wishes to
make loans to farmers for production
cr marketing purposes and a favorable
rate of interest.
The discounts of agricultural paper
cy the Federal Intermediate Credit
Bank of Omaha outstanding at the end
)f the year increased from about
*5,803,000 in 1928 to $11,109,000 in
1932. At the beginning of this year
51 institutions, mainly livestock loan
companies and agricultural credit cor
porations, organized for the specific
purpose of making agricultural loans
ind discounting them with this bank,
were in operation.
“Many of these lending institutions
ivere organized by bankers as affiliates
)f commercial banks, and generally
speaking, have proved very satisfac
;ory and useful in their communiites,”
said Mr. Hogan. “They not only bring
n new capital but they articulate with
ind supplement the regular commer
cial activities of the rural bank. Cor
porations have been organized also as
subsidiaries of cooperative marketing
institutions and others have been cap
talized by business men in various
communities.”
