Farmers and stockmen . of Holt
county, with the exception of those
few who find it necessary to put their
products on the market to meet pres
sing obligations, are holding their
crops and stock. They are planning
to continue holding them for better
prices or until they become convinced
that prices will not advance.
The effect on business is depress
ing. There is very little doing in a
business way in the towns.
Above is a consensus of answers
gathered from farmers,' stockmen,
grain men; real estate dealers, bank
ers and . merchants of O'Neill and
the county as to disposition' of crops
and the resultant effect on business.
Many Solutions Offered.
Many solutions are offered in an
swer to the question; "What re
lief is suggested," ranging - from
"immediate ratification of. the peace
treaty," to restoration of the war fi
nance corporation." .' - . . "
The remedies mostly suggested
are: Reduction of the rediscount rate
of interest, stabilizing of the foreign
exchange rate; stabilizing of prices;
re-establishnient of the farm loan
bank; withdrawal of the government
as a competitive borrower , with the
private individual; the issuance of
longtime refunding securities by the
government to do away with the evert
increasing issuance of short-time
certificates . of indebtedness; exten-

on rediscounted live stock and other
agricultural paper now held by them.
Holt county will be able to ride
safely the troubled financial seas,
although its farmers, its bankers and
its business men are not going to
make any large profits for a time at
least and are going to be content
to break a little better than even dur
ing the period of deflation. Bankers
of the county say that during the
period of inflation and speculation
they continued to be bankers and
were not brokers- Thev rediscounted
but very little paper. The First Na
tional bank of O'Neill, -the O'Neill
National bank and the Nebraska
State Bank of O'Neill, the three
leading financial institutions of north
central Nebraska west of Norfolk,
have not rediscounted a single
penny's worth of paper. During the
period of increasing real estate
values the money Holt county land
owners received for their holdings
did not go out of the county to be
invested in real estate elsewhere, but
went into the banks of the county
with the exception of small amounts
srrabbed bv blue-sky salesmen. Then
it still reposes and it can be bor
rowed by farmers and stockmen of
the county who have not over-bor
rowed on inflated values.
Farmers Able to Borrow. '
It is 'being so borrowed, and no
cood farmer or stockman with
security has or will be turned down.
Monev. however, is not being loaned
for soeculative DiirDOses or' for
luxnries. Manv of the stockmen and
farmers of the county possessed of
lihertv bonds now are borrowing
money on them, not selling them, and
are investing the proceeds in cheap
rattle and cheao feed, sure ot a
profit next fall.
The only cattle now being put on
the market. are -owned by men who
ari mrrmelled to sell. Cattlemen in
the .west have been reducing their
herds for more than a vear because
of fear of the market and many large
pastures and ranges' are entirely des
titute of stock. Thousands of acres
of hay. meadow west of here -were
left uncut; this year, because of re
ductions in the herds to consume it.
It takes four years to grow a beet.
Cattle, so the wise ones say, have:
npt. yet. reached normal, but when
they , do they' will be money-makers
with cheap feeM at cheaper than pres
ent production costs.
: Diversified Resources.
Thf rvtrnsive Jirpa of Holt COUlltV
makes it one of diversified agricul
tural interests. Its stock raising area
would make a fair-sized stock pro-?
during county, its small grain areas
would make another, its corn an
other, and its dairying another, and
its commercial tame and wild hay
producing area still another very
large one. Consequently its inves
tors and its producers have not

P.fl F. GaHao-hef: nresident; First
Natbnal ba.uk of O'Neill and of sevr
eral banks in Holt county! said: "The
discontinuation .by the government
and the federal reserve banks of un
necessary building, and the reduction
of the rediscount rate of interest so
that the reserve banks wilt not con
tinue to make abnormal profits, will
settle our problems."
S. J. Weekes. president of the
O'Neill National bank: "The stabil
izing of foreign exchange rates and
the re-adjustment of the graduated
scale of rediscounts on scrutinized
paper should prove a remedy."
James F. O'Donnell, cashier of the
Nebraska State bank of O'Neill:
"The situation is the result of the
natural reaction following the specu
lative period of inflation coming after
all wars. The revival of the war
finance corporation might delay set
tlement time but would not do away
with it. Readjustment of rediscount
rates and stabilizing of prices will
assist in the recovery.
Reduction of Rediscount Rate.
Charles M. Daly, mayor of O'Neill,
land owner and real estate dealer:
"The elimination of the government
as a competitor of the farmer as a
borrower at least until the farmer
has had time to conform to the re
adjustment, is one solution."
S. L. Berry, land owner and real
estate dealer: "Concentration in an
effort to face the situation squarely,
the advtncement of assistance to the
producer to carry him over until
next crop time and the redaction of
the rediscount rate would be a big
aid."
Frank J. Dishner, farm operator,
land owner and rear estate dealer:
"I believe that the re-establishment
of the farm land bank would assist.
Also, concerns loaning money on
farm lands should not insist on ex
horbitant rates of interest for ex
tended periods. Rates should be ad
justed to conform to falling com
modity prjees."
Stabilizing of Prices.
.Frank Lancaster, county agent of
Holt county: "The stabilizing of
prices of all commodities will help."
P. J. McManus, merchant:. "The
stabilizing of prices and the exten
sion of assistance to weather through
until next fall to the deserving seem
to; be about the only solutions.. The
square deal to all, with none favored
or protected above another should
preyail." ......
John Carr, large ranchman and
stockraiser, . with holdings,, ranges
and cattle in Holt and counties west:
"The extension of time on good
papc until the producer can adjust
himself to conditions will help."
W. V. Hunter, large ranchman and
farmer: " "The stabilizing of prices,
reduction of the. rediscount rate and
the practice of strict economy will
assist " .

City Manager
Campaign Waxes
Hot in Norfolk
Mayor Calls Public Meeting in
Opposition to Change
Election Will Be Held
Xanuary 22.
Norfolk, Neb., Jan. 12.--(Special.)
The opposition to the proposed
change in city management in Nor
folk has started its campaign with
an announcement by Mayor Dud
geon that a public meeting will be
held in the city hall, with speakers
opposed to the . city , manager form
of government. The mayor is plan
ning to make a public statement in
opposition to this form of city gov
ernment at the meeting, lie asks
that all citizens interested in the
special election, which will be held
on January ,22, attend the meeting
in order to hear both tides of the
question.
"I cpnscientiously believe that the
citysinanager form of government is
an experiment and a dangerous form
of government for this city to
adopt," the niavor said. "I believe,
however, that it is the duty of ajl
city ollicials and hnoest-thinking citi
zens to be progressive and do what
they can for all of the citizens af
fected. For that reason I think both
sides of this question which affects
every taxpayer in Norfolk, should
be brought to light and for that
reason I am calling his public meet
ingr." ,
The city managership campaign is
waxing hot in Norfolk. The ques
tion appears paramount in discus
sions among business men, public
gatherings and in the homes. Some
argue that a change to city man
agership form . of government will
mean the cutting down of taxes,

which have suddenly become so high
and which have much to do with the
popularity of the city manager form
movement.
In other circles it is said that with
a city manager the police department
would become more efficient. This
is partly !he reason why the move
ment is being given the reform or
"blue Sunday" stamp. Some of the
city oflicials take the movement as
a criticism of the work done by the
present council, tnd those who ap
pear honest in their convictions de
clare the change would take city
government out of politics and that
the business of the city 'would be
conducted under one head and made
as .efficient as the business of a
