McKelvie Disajsses Farm Relief Measures (Continued From Page One.) 1 under the most favorable circum stances, in the years that will fol low, to recoup the loss that he sus tains now and It is going to mean that thousands of these tenant farm ers will be driven from the land. Names Important Factors. Governor McKelvie suggested three things that are fundamentally important in connection with the so lution of the problem now being considered by the committee and these arei Transportation, adequate finances and distribution. Distrib ution, the governor thought, is the most important question that 'con fronts the farmers. "It is purely a question of econ omics, which; contemplates the dis tribution of the production of the land at the lowest possible cost from the original producer to the ultimate consumer' said Governor McKelvie. "There has been grow ing up in this country forbears a condition of wasteful distribution, situation that has enabled certain agencies, rendering" no essential service, to obtain a control over the markets which has become highly inimical to the, tarmers welfare. He thought that relief might be had if more elevators were built and owned by the farmers, especially at terminal points, the idea being that the, farmers could then hold their products and market them when prices warranted, thereby cutting out the middleman and the specu lator. . Governor's Resolutions. Asked what had been recommend ed by the conference of governors, Governor McKelvie told of the res olutions adopted by the governors' meeting, which foremost of all ad vocated revival of the war finance corporation, or something that would open the foreign markets, also they urged a more liberal discount policy to farmers by the federal re serve banks. During the hearing Governor Mc Kelvie said that in nis annual mes sage to the next legislature he would urge some means be taken jo . help finance farming operations in the state on long time credits secured by loans on land to run probably 20 years and the state to be the agency that will offer its credit to obtain this money. Furthermore, he said he was calling within 1.0 days a conference of the representatives of all the state farm organizations to discuss with them the program for the legislationOutlined above. Governor McKelvie had luncheon with Waddy B. Wood, a well known architect of Washington and a. mem ber' of the board of judges on the Nebraska capital building. The gov ernor left this afternoon for Lincoln. Osceola Club Protests.

"We do not need the additional credit of the profits of the feeral reserve bank nor of the war board. .What we need is an opportunity to handle the credit we already-have in an intelligent manner and 'free from strain as much as possible. We have a brake on every wheel of our finan cial wagon 'and it takes a lot of energy to pull it with only a bare load, let alone the power it akes to overcome the friction of the brakes." Tiie club is of the opinion that the ameunt of credit available from the sources suggested would not amount to any considerable sum and it adds that the impression that "euch ac-( UUll WUU1U 1VC UIC wuuiu harmful. It characterises such ef forts as "puerile tinkering" and con cludes, "let the federal reserve board relax the severity of the steep rate interest charges and name a reason able maximum interest rate.

First steps toward remedial legis lation for farmers by congress will take the form of a concurrent resolu tion diecting restonation of the war finance corporation.- This was made clear today in statements by Senator Harrison, Mississippi, and Heflin of AlabamaTafld Representative Byrnes, South "Carolina. Necessity of action by the presi dent would be avoided, it was con tended by making the resolution con current in form and it would become effective on adootion. v "We intend during the first week of congress," Senator Harrison de clared, to pass a resolution directing the. secretary of the treasury to re vive the war finance corporation so our agricultural products may be marketable." v "he south and west have votes enough to pass such a measure next week," Senator Heflin said. Sufficient sentiment had been created, Senator Harrison said, "to impress upon those in authority that it is necessary that some immediate attion be taken to relieve the ens eal situation."

Money for Gattle Men Will Be Easy If Grain Is Sold, Texan Says "Bankers will not commence to let go of their money to the live stock growers until about February I." said A. C. Williams of Fort Worth, Tex., assistant secretary of the Texas Cattle Raisers associa tion, who has been making a tour rtf western cattle market points and who visited the Omaha yards Sat urday, Mr. Williams said that during his trip through the middle west hejiad found a lack' of money and credit and .that it was proving a great drawback in the- , stock busi ness. He expressed the opinion there would be a big revival of the live stock business in the spring when there is a probability, of money being easier. "It is only a matter of a short time that the farmer will be willing to let go of his enormous crops and liquidate at prevailing prices. When he docs' he will be given all the financial assistance he wants. With the country overflowing with feed there will be a necessity of putting it on the market and that action will start an impetus in the live stock raising game and I think things will work out all right for every one in a short time."
