The Administration as one Of the
most advanced moves and as impor-

In the opinion OF those who are
responsible for the act creating the
Federal Farm Loan law, and Sena
tor Ollie NJ. James and Representa-
give ,Swager Sherley had much to dc
with it, the measure will lead to the
upbuilding of the farming sections

tai to develop them.

This statement was made today
by George w. Norris, Farm Loan

THE board now has finished the
arduous and difficult task of fixing
the boundaries of districts and locat-
fng the twelve Federal Land Banks.
We will now give notice of the op-
ening of the books for subscriptions

: TFo law requires that these sub
Ecription books shall remain open
fer thirty days. BY the expiration
of that time we hope to have decid-

Temporary Directors.
The creation of machinery for the
operation of the twelve banks is one
cf the tasks that has received gem
erous support from the public. Each
ff the twelve banks is to have a
cerp orary board of five directors
until the permanent organization is
established, consisting of nine direc.
tors, six of whom will be elected by
the Farm Loan Associations and the
other three appointed by the Farm
Loan Board. There will also be
registrar for each bank. with whom
will be deposited the mortgages as
signed as collateral for boud issues. |
These appointments will be entirely
nonDolitical.
This Farm Loan act, ii Is believed
beneficial TO the farmers of the
country because in conjunction with
the liberal provisions of the FEEDER
al Reserve act. II puts them on an
equality with all others who have
genuine assets and makes the great
credit of the country available to

DEMOCRATS VOICE
 OPPOSITION TO PLAN OF MR. BURLESON
They Do Not Want P0sta. Service Divorced From Politics While
 They Are In

Washington March S.-More than 50 democratic congressman already have voiced opposition to the Presidents com ing order for modified civil service to govern appointments of all first, second and third class postmasters.
 Postmaster General Burleson was quoted by some of them today as sug- gesting they might find remedy by passing a general law covering the whole situation when Congress meets next De- cember
 There was talk at the capital today that when the postoffice bill is considered at the next regular session an attempt Is likely to be made to put on rider to provide that no money appropriated shall be used for payment of postmaster ap- pointed under such conditions.
 Representative Mondell of Wyoming and Hayes of California, republicans, con ferred with the Postmaster General by invitation to talk over postal questions, Mr. Mondell said later that MT. Bur leson had told him that the order was in pursuance of his purpose to completely divorce the postal service from politics.
 Speaker Clarke commented upon MT. Burlesons present practice of appointing the highest man on the civil service list in filling fourth class postmastership va cancies
 ITO my mind" he said, that raised more cain in politics than anything else. and it is one of the main reasons wb'' the next House is so close. People in democratic district want a democrat ] office as postmaster
