WASHINGTON, April 21.-A new
fight on the federal farm loan board
appears to be developing. Members
of the board reported today they had
received Samples" Of propaganda
seeking withdrawal Of tax exemption
privileges for bonds Of the farm loan
system The fight against the board
promises to come to a climax with
the reconyening Of congress. Oppo-
nents of the tax exemption for farm
loan bonds are advocating the elimi-
nation of the privilege on the
grounds that "the government ts los
ing thousands of dollars by not tax
ing the bonds" according TO Herbert
Quick, board member He asserted
that the attack is being fostered by
farm mortgage bankers, many OF
whom he said chad been forced to
quit yprofiteering on interest rates to
the farmer" In this respect, board
members said they were inclined to
believe the propaganda was merely
an attempt to revive the bitter
fight waged by the money lending
interests, year ago.

EVERY EFFORT
FOR AGREEMENT
President Wilson Urges Industrial
Board and Railroad Ad-
ninistration to Agree
On Program.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, April 21.-President
Wilson Is making every effort to effect
an agreement between the industrial
board and the railroad admins tration
on the program Of lowering and stabil-
izing prices, it was stated at the white
house today.
Besides the cablegram that the
president sent to Secretary Redfield
and Chairman Peek, of the industrial
board, urging them to try further to
reach an agreement with the railroad
administration, it was learned that the
president has sent instructions on the
matter to Director General Hines. The
nature Of these instructions was not
revealed.
AS a result, however, Hines has des-
isnated Judge Hobart S. Lovett to
represent him In further conferences
with the Industrial board.
Cost of living will take substan-
tial drop in the near future, mem
bers Of the industrial board stated to-
day, providing agreements on steel
prices can be reached with the rail-
road administration.
1t was learned at the board that
during the campaign between Director
Hines and Chairman Peek which
dragged out over two weeks, informal
agreements have been reached with
some of the largest dealers and manu-
facturers Of food. textiles and shoes
vital factors in the cost Of living.
These are the results Of conference
by various members of the board IN
New York and Chicago.
Representatives of these industries
have assured the board of their will
ingness to cooperate In the price
reduction program. In some respects.
informal agreements on the lower
prices expected have been reached.
Members stated that lower prices
could be put into effect within q
week providing agreement on steel
prices can be made with the railroad
administration.
Both textiles and shoes show large
increases over pre-war prices, tex
tiles as a class averaging over $50
percent, which accounts for the pres
ent high prices of all clothing. Only
slight reductions have been made
since the signing of the armistice.
The big obstacle in bringing food
prices down, the board has found, Is
the guaranteed wheat prices OF
1926. With intimations that the
United States Grain corporation will
strive to keep the market price up
to the guaranteed figure and thus
spend very little of the ST.
900 100000 guarantee fund, CHAIR
man Peek has conferred with Chair
man Julius Barnes and advised
against such step. This would tend
to keep up all practices, Peek believes,
land he is urging that the wheat or
the -four be sold back to the public
at a Loss.

In Divorces

Approximately one out Of every
nine marriages in the United States
Is terminated by divorce according to
figures compiled by the bureau Of
the census and made public today.
Excluding South Carolina, where
all laws permitting divorce we're re-
pealed in 1878 the three lowest d.
yorce rates in 1916, for which year
returns are now complete, are shown
for the District Of Columbia, North
Carolina and New York, where the
rates were l3, 81 and SO per. 100, 600
respectively. The highest rates were
returned from Nevada. Montana and
Oregon, which show 6O7,323 and 225
respectively.
In all states except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Colorado the divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than in
1906.
Desertion is shown by the figures
to have been the cause OF about 3S
per cent Of the divorces.
Records also show that the mar
riage rate in 1915 was 1850 per 100
600 or nine times as great as the di-
voree rate OF 112 per 100000.

Reports Financing Of Lund Railroad

~0SFOAeS AAh"hSih6 - VI l/Nuu HtuIlfOdu
Satisfactory financing of the pro-
posed railroad from Lund, Utah, on
the Salt Lake road, to Cedar City, a
distance Of 31.9 miles, is officially
announced. Bonds to the amount of
81 100000 have been taken by Phil
adelphia capitalists and the Hano-
yer Construction Company OF the
same city has been given contract
for the building of the line.
The story of the large tract OF coal
and iron lands that are tributary to
this proposed line of railroad, an
area long known to be among the
richest and best In the west In nat
ural resources of both these and 9TH
er minerals, has been written many
times and Is generally familiar to
those who have kept in touch with
the publicity given to this section Of
Utah. Both the coal and iron de-
posits of this region are SO large in
quantity and so excellent in quality
that they have undergone careful
examination at intervals for many
years, but the lack of adequate
transportation facilities has kept
their active development virtually q,
q standstill.
