FAVORABLE REPORT
ON LAND BANK BILL

Washington, Feb. 16.-The admins
tration's bill to establish a system OF
land banks, drafted by joint congress
sional committee, was favorably re-
ported to the senate, but with radical
alterations by the banking and cur
rency committee.
The joint proposal for board of
five commissioners to control the sys-
tenn was discarded by the committee
in favor Of control by treasury de-
partment bureau, to be known as the
federal farm loan bureau, under the
general supervision of a federal farm
loan board. the latter consisting of
the secretary of the treasury and four
presidential appointees.
New provisions would authorize the
investment of postal savings funds in
farm loan bonds and would permit
the treasury department to keep up
the Sc 100000 on deposit with the land
banks. The committee struck out a
clause giving the land bank authority
to establish savings departments.
