Agriculture is Benefited.

The federal reserve bank of Min
neapolis and the law that created it
represent forward step in financial
legislation for the benefit of agricul-
ture," Mr.. Houston said. "They do
not represent finality. There should
be, and there will be eventually, l am
convinced, further legislation favor
able to the agricultural borrower.
Finance and agriculture get much clos
er together in Europe. l do not argue
that European methods in their en-
tirety can necessarily be applied sue
cessfully here, but we have much to
learn from the study of how these
things are managed abroad.
There is still great gap to be
filled in our country. It is not desir-
able or advisable that the commercial
banks be permitted to depart from
their practice of having their assets
in liquid form. But other means Of
financing long time agricultural loans
must be found. The provision in the
new currency law that created the fed.
eral reserve banks, that permits loans
by national banks on farm mortgages
under certain restrictions, is for
ward step.
"One difficulty in an effort to out
line such necessities is the quickness
with which proposal to bring finance

Judgment in the public mind under the
misconception that it is plan for the
government to finance the farmers.
| The farmers do not expect paternal-
ism that is not exercised with regard
to other great industries. Neither
should they, nor do they, expect to be
able to borrow money cheaper than
other people or on some arrangement
which would create favoritism for
them and necessarily discrimination
against others. But there is no such
favorable opportunity, even with the
new currency law, for agriculture to
finance itself, as there should be- Leg

"This bill requires cities of the sec.

cities of the second class. Section 1

pressly prohibits this. 1t is grave
question whether the Commonwealth
should mandate any municipal unit as
