Farm Conditions
Improving, Says
Land Bank Head
D. P. Hogan, Omaha, rinds Condi
tions Improved in Reflections of
Payments Made on Loans.
Improving farm conditions are re
flected in figures announced today by
the Federal Land Bank of Omaha,
which reported that farmers who
borrowed from the land bank com
missioner loan fund already have re
paid $1,794,859.
Especially indicative of farm gains
is the fact that voluntary payments
totaling $433,977 have been made on
the principal by farmer-borrowers in
Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Wyoming, said D. P. Ilogan, presi
dent of the bank.
"These repayments offer indisput
able testimony of bettering condi
tions," he said, "because no pay
ment on the principal of commis
sioner loans is required until three
years after the loan is made. It just
goes to show that the farmers are
determined to pay up as quickly as
possible."
Since the commissioner fund is a
revolving fund, money repaid will be
available for reloaning.
Interest maturities to date total
$1,360,SS2 on these loans, of which
$1,036,629, or approximately 80 per
cent, has been repaid. Mr. Kogan
declared this record 13 commendable
for farmer-borrowers in an area that
has had to contend with drought and
other adverse farming conditions.
Commissioner loans, made avail
able during the last 18 months
through appropriation of S0O mil
lion dollars by congress, were cre
ated to refinance heavily indebted
farmers. Better than 10 per cent of
the "distress" fund provided by con
gress, or $82,669,050, has been loan
ed to farmers and stockmen in these
four states by the Omaha bank, act
ing as agent of the commissioner.
The $82,669,050 is divided into
27.S42 loans on second mortgages,
representing a total of $62,972,050,
and 8.S44 loans on first mortgages,
representing a total of $19,697,000.
"Every one of those 27,842 sec
ond mortgage borrowers is a farmer
who had been backed up against the
financial wall," added the land bank
president. "lie was so loaded down
with debt he could not be refinanced
by the Federal Land Bank or any
other agency. The commissioner
fund, making possible loans up to
75 per cent of the appraised normal
value of his land, was the only thing
that saved him from losing his land
and home."
As of December 1, 13,826 Iowa
farmers had received commissioner
loans for a total of $36,787,150; 11,
550 Nebraska farmers had received
$25,900,950; 9,177 South Dakota
farmers, $16,809,200 and 2,133
Wyoming farmers and ranchers re
ceived $3,171,750.

Senator Adds to Dictatorship Thru
Rubber Stamp Legislature at
Third Special Session.
Baton Rouge, La. Huey P. Long
Thuredav nieht had tightened his
dictatorial reins over Louisiana by
grasping, thru a submissive legisla
ture, power to replace elected muni
cipal officials, levy a general manu
facturers' tax and select the state's
15,000 school teachers.
Before permitting hi3 lawmakers
to go home the Kingfish compelled
them to pass a bill they had defeat
ed a few minutes previously, and
wound up the third special session
within the past four months with
his every wish granted.
Dictator Long twice encountered
opposition. He out-maneuvered his
thin opposition to clothe himself
with control over the state's peda
gogs, then blasted thru a minor bill
which had received an unfavorable
senate vote.
Long's smashing blow was deliv
ered shortly before the session ad
journed sine die at noon and record
ed enry of a new governmental era
for Louisiana.
With little dissension. Long slam
med thru the two houses a bill eject
ing from office the mayor and coun
cilmcn of the city of Alexandria
where he was "rotten egged" a year
ago while delivering a political
harangue.
Two other measures were enacted
to establish his "seat of empire," by
directing appointment by his subor
dinate, Governor Allen, of officials
to cancel the will of ballots, choose
local officers of the parish of East
Baton Rouge, and to give him a
hand in the municipal government
of Baton Rouge.
Other acts which went to the gov
ernor's desk, where their approval
is assured, authorize his appointment
of enough police jurors In the East
Baton Rouge parish to offset the
number elected, thus clinching the
Kingfish control of that parish's affairs.
GRANTED EXTRA WEEK PAY
Southbridge, Mass. An extra
week's pay gift of the Hamilton
Woolen company to its loyal employes
helped keep alive the Christmas
spirit dimmed by the recommenda
tion of the mill's directors that the
company be liquidated. It was per
haps, the final pay day for the 670
workers who remained at their looms
during the recent strike.
There have been three strikes at
the mill since last summer, the most
recent ending when Richard Lenni
man, president of the corporation de
clared the plant "permanently closed
owing to labor troubles." The Ham
ilton mills have an annual payroll of
$1,000,000 and employ one-fifth of
the town's 5,000 workers.
Cincinnati. Wage increases of
five cents an hour with 8 1-2 hour
work day were granted to 1,600 oper
ating employes of the Cincinnati
Street Railway company by an arbi
tration board.
