"As far as this question is con-

it did before the decision was hand

authority to maintain a segregated

that the ordinance is in conflict with
the statutes. "Mr. Ringer had every

fused to have the supreme court act

several days ago by Attorney John

DENIES CHARGES

Land Bank Attacks State
ment of Beatrice Loan
Association Man.

That the Federal Land bank "was
largely nothing more than an Or
ganization to provide positions for
a lot of men who could not have
otherwise succeeded" or that it was
any the less inefficient because of it's
political founding" was denied yes
terday morning by E. D. Morcom,
treasurer of the Omaha Federal
Land bank.
The attack mentioned was made
by A. H. Kidd of Beatrice, presi-
dent of the Loan and Savings asso-
citation of that city, at the 18th an
nual convention of Nebraska Loan
and Savings associations at the
Hotel Fontenelle Wednesday.
Official Denial to Be Made.
President D. P. Hogan of the Fed

Mr.. Morcom made the statement in
his absence, stating that he would
issue special report denying, with
facts, all of the charges made.

Beatrice" he said, lis simply part

interests of the American Mortgage
Bankers association.
"The Federal Land bank of the
United States has arrived at that
stage of development where it is

its stockholders. It comes with

Vote FOR BILL
TO Give RELIEF
TO POTASH men
Representative Green of Iowa
Proposes Increasing Duty
Z on Product Coming
From Abroad.

Washington, May 22.-(Special
Telegram )-Representative Green
of Iowa, one of the ways and means
committee, said after a meeting of
the republican members this morn
ing, that it had been determined to
go ahead at once on a bill repeal
ing the luxury tax. This will be
followed by a bill to give relief to
the domestic potash producers of
the United States, which will un-
doubtedly be joyful news to the pot
ash interests of Nebraska. The
committee voted to have such bill
prepared.
There was some discussion
among the republican members of
the committee as to the expedi-
ency of including in the measure
license provision, such as was pro-
posed by the war industries board
during the closing days of the war,
as sure protection against the i'm
portation of the German product,
but the committee took no action
on this feature of the bill, leaving
that matter open for further con-
sideration.
Mr.. Green saidthat while he was
strongly in favor Of increasing the
duty on potash and making it high
enough to give the potash produc-
ers of the United States chance to
meet foreign competition, he was
opposed to the license system as
urged by some of the members.
AS soon as the repeal of the lux
uary tax is out of the way and GER
tain other corrective measures are
reported to the house, the ways and
means committee will begin the
preparation of tariff bill along re-
publican lines and will put it up to
the president to veto or sign the
same
When the committee begins the
consideration of potash legislation
Mr.. Green said the potash producers
would be accorded ample opportuni-
ty to be heard on all phases of the
question.
