Howell Ob jects j
to Special Fund
Manner of Paying Certain
Farm Loan Board Expenses
Questioned by Nebraskan.
By P. C. row FIX,
'.fashlngtnn Correspondent The Omaha Bes.
Washington, March 6.—Following
disclosure at a hearing of the senate
hanking and currency commission
that the federal farm loan board kept
an account In a Washington bank
and used It for paying obligations that
did not go through regular routine
procedure of other obligations, Sen
ator R. B. Howell announced that he
intended to make a thorough checking
of the account.
Committee disclosure, according to
information in the hands of Senator
Howell, are to the effect that the sal
aries of M. B. Corey of Omaha, and
13. B. Jones of Pennsylvania, two new
members of the board, were paid from
this fund, since at that time there was
no appropriation available for such
salaries. Appropriations have been
made and the amount taken from this
fund has been reimbursed.
Claim Procedure Regular.
Other use of the fund, according to
tlie understanding of Senator Howell,
has been to pay expenses of Charles
30. Lobdell, the fiscal agent; a son of
Hobdell, who Is employed by the board,
and traveling expenses of another
member of the hoard. By using this
fund and checking it out. certain ex
penses escape the regular routine and
censorship of the Treasury depart
ment, Howell claims.
The money, which has totalled as
high as $37,000 at a time, is derived
V from interest on bonds which are
held by the board for a short time
after their issuance and before sale.
Hobdell asserted before the commit
tee that use of the fund and handling
it through a private bank on checks
signed by the chairman was sane
Honed by heads of the various farm
loan banks.
"I want It understood,” Howell said,
‘ that I arn not fighting the farm loan
system. I am merely endeavoring to
ascertain if it is being run on prin
ciples that in the end will make It a
success. In many instances pro
cedure of the hoard which is under
criticism has met with my approval.”
Woman Writer Investigates.
For weeks the committee on hank
ing and currency has been holding
hearings on the confirmation of new
hoard members. Senator Howell has
been in almost constant atttendance.
The person who has conducted the
most searching scrutiny into the
methods employed by the board is
(iertrude Matthews Shelby, a maga
zine writer, interested in co-operative
hanking. She charges that stockhold
ers in the banks are not getting fair
i epresentatlon on boards. The Strong
bill passed in the last congress gives
the farm loan board power to appoint
a majority membership on boards or
directors of farm loan banks.
Today she called on Senator Borah
to propose sending questionnaires to
the 4,600 farm loan association offi
cials asking them their opinion of
the present mode of handling director
ships.

Coolidge Delegate
Lftt Names 8 Women
Lincoln, March 5.—Coolidge state
headquarters gave out the following
statement today:
"There has been much talk of late
about recognition of the women by
political parties. So far as the pri
mary campaign is concerned, the is
sues are made up. The Johnson
campaign has submitted a list of
delegates to be placed on the pri
mary ballot by petition. The pub
lished list fails to show the name of
a single woman. The press quotes
Governor Bryan as saying that he
does not consider It "feasible” to se
lect women as delegates to the dem
ocratic national convention.
"The Coolidge delegate and alter
nate ticket contains the names of
eight women, five of whom are on
the delegate list. The Coolidge state
committee sponsors, and has circu
lated petitions placing the name of
Mrs. K. B. Penney of Fullerton, on
thte ballot as a candidate for national
committeewoman.
"It is quite clear that thet Coolidge
state committee Is the only organisa
tion that has given fair recognition
to women."
