The change has been under con
templation for some time and from
numerous standpoints it seemed best
that the change be made, principally
that of securing the advantages of
the state guaranty law which extends
to all state chartered banks but not
to National banks.
The fact that the change could be

Representatives from thirteen dif

met recently in Alliance, a small city
in the semi-arid section of Nebraska,
to consider transportation problems.
More than half of those who register
ed for the all-day meeting were ship
pers of stock, grain, produce or manu
factured articles; a large part of the
remainder of the attendants repre

The shippers of feed or range cat
tle stated emphatically what they
thought might be done by the rail
roads or the stockyards to better the
marketing conditions for the raisers
and sellers; the stockyards men and
the packers gave voice to their criti
cisms or suggestions. The voice of
the railway conductor or brakeman
was heard with as much interest as
that of the division superintendent.

it possible that such a degree of co-J!,

scarcely a bitter word spoken, al-'

that they felt very differently betore
they came to understand something
of the difficulties of the other side.
Perhaps the most practical matter
discussed was that of shipping stock

there was a fair distribution through-i

THE NATIONAL PUZZLE
In commenting on the Joint Stock
Land Bank system, a leading bond
house which is a wholesale distribu
tor of tax-exempt government obli
gations, makes the statement that
while the farm loan system has made
loans aggregating more than $100,
000,000 in northwestern Btates, in
vestors residing in those states have
purchased not more than $5,000,000
of the bonds.
Continuing, the statement says the
interest rates of the Joint Stock Land
banks to the farmers are as low as
5 per cent fh some parts of the
country and at no place do they ex
ceed 6 per cent, and that being tax
exempt in the same way as Federal
Farm Loan bonds, these securities
have become especially favored by in
vestors whose incomes require them
to place their money largely in tax
free bonds.
In the last statement is the com
edy of the whole proceeding. Why
should the law permit tax exemption
to the purchaser of this purely com
mercial paper? Why should the law
furnish a method for investors to
escape the taxation which must be
levied for government needs and
protection of all the people includ
ing those who are exempted from
tax payments?
Why should the law on one band
provide for taxation of all equally
and then permit exemption for those
