Favor Young's Bill
to Aid Stoekmen

Washington, D. c., Dec 15-Ed-
mund Platt, vice-Royernor of the
federal reserve board, issued state.
nlent last week strongly recommend
ing the passage Of the Congressman
Young bill, authorizing the use: of
$50, 0U0, 600 q year for two years
through the federal land banks in
rediscounting notes secured by live.
stock when guaranteed BY a res
ponsible bank. ,.
The statement Of vice-governor
Plat, as quoted BY the Fargo For
um, is as follows: ].
'The bill introduced by Congress.
man Young Of North Dakota pro-
vides for relief to the cattle .raisers
and. to the livestock industry in gen.
eral, and is, in my judgment, a
practical, workable measure. It
permits the Secretary of the treas
ury to depositin, the federal land
banks, in each, Of the years 1921
and 1922, $5O,OOO,o00 Of the pro-
tita Of the federal reserve system to
be used to rediscount the notes
held in banks based on livestock
security, and these notes may be
for terms as long as two years. 1t
is obvious that the federal reserve
banks cannot rediscount notes Of
such long terms, as their RESOURCES
must be kept liquid, the money
loaned by member banks being the
money Of dispositions and subject
mostly to payment on demand.
furthermore, the loans to cattle and
livestock industries which it is pro-
posed to carry by this means, stand
on a different. basis from loans on
agricultural products.
Immature. cattle are being
forced on the market by, the calling
of loans or perhaps BY insistance on
the payment Of loans at maturity,
|*which:a :at normal times would have
been renewed. Owing to the very
high cost Of feed last winter and
spring, cattle raisers and sheep rails
ers were forced to borrow more than
usual and their paper was taken BY
banks and cattle loan companies
and resold in" many cases to banks
in the east. which have no interest
in the cattle business and which, as
the notes fell due, naturally wanted
many Of them to be paid. The
forcing Of immature cattle on the
market ieopardized the future SUP.
ply Of meat, and as cattle naturally
become more valuable as they ma
ture, the security for the loans re.
discounted increases in value.
Hence the bill introduced BY
Mr.. Young appears to me to ts
sound from q public standpoint,
from a banking standpoint and
from the standpoint of the farmers.
It also safeguards the treasury. In
cidentallyf the relief afforded ,tc
many banks in agricultural districts

cattle paper with which many ol

trip is made at the personal Invitation
Of the president-elect, who will send Q
representative to meet his visitor at
the border.
Col Parker and Gen. Obregon have
been friends for years and the famous
Mexican leader has depended upon
him frequently for advice and coun-
sci touching relations between the
two nations.
Gen. Obregon is exceedingly anx-
ious that he United States shall re-
sumo diplomatic relations with Mexi-
CO and expresses the hope that the
incoming administration will find 1t
agreeable to do so. at an early day.
Col. Parker has advised Gen. Obregon
that recognition will be conditioned
upon Mexico repeating certain laws
which have been found obnoxious to
this country. In that connection, Col.
Parker took pains to point out, how
ever. that the United States does not
presume nor desire to dictate to Mexico,
as strong and just government never
dictates. In fact. the sooner the
Mexican people disabuse themselves
of such an idea, the quicker will the

Recently agents Of the internal rev.

Of the crew Of the Jefferson with
liouor in his possession. The Jeffer-
ison was promptly seized, the bond be-
ling fixed at 100000. Such a storm

LEASED and permitted to resume her

SAYS WARTIME WAGES
CRIPPLE GOLD MINING
Dean Of Washington University
Addresses Members of Mining
Congress at Denver.

DENVER, Colo. November 1S.-High
wartime wages in the United States
have crippled the gold mining indus
try of Alaska by attracting miners
from the north, DR.. Miner Roberts,
dean of the College Of Mines. Univsr-
sity of Washington, at Seattle, told
delegates to the twenty.third annual
convention Of the American Mining
Congress here today.
In 1915. he said, Alaska produced
$1e,702,7S2 in gold, reaching the peak
of ten years Of steady growth. In 1919
the output. DIR. Roberts declared, fell
to $9,O00.000, with indications that the
production this year Will fall below
that figure.
There are several causes for the
present situation" he said. The first
was the war. At it's outbreak in 1914,
many British miners in Alaska and in
tte adjacent Yukon territory of Cana
da hastened to their country's aid.
Americas entry into the war caused
most of our young men to enlist, but
still there remained a good proportion
OF the older and more experienced
miners.
"When the demand for men to carry
on the war industries in the stAtest
became pressing another outpourinG
took place. Hearing from the outside
of the ever-mcreasing wages, the
miners. being accustomed to adapt
themselves to various kinds Of work,
were quick to take advantage OF the
opportunities.
