COTTON BANKS FORCED
To PAY 81 PER CENT
INTEREST, IS CHARGE

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. g.
Charges that the Federal Reserve
Board made certain cotton banks pay
81 percent interest and at times even
demanded as high as 81 per cent,
were made today by John Shelton
Williams, former comptroller Of the
currency. resuming testimony before
the congressional agricultural COM
mission.
When confronted with a demand
for proof Of some Of his accusations,
Williams agreed 20 furnish data in
the case of a southwestern bank
where he said law case against the
reserve bank was being maturcd by
member bank officials.
In a clash with Representative
Mills. republican, Of New York, Will
liams said he stood by lis charges
that in specific instances reserve
banks required member banks to put
up 200 and 800 per cent collateral
in farm paper before lending.
'Do you know that" Mills asked.
Give US an instance"
"Go to the reserve board. They
have the record" Williams retorted.
Williams said THAI as reserve
board member he fought increased
rates of interest and progressive in
terest rates which make the bank pay
higher interest on rediscounts M its
total Of borrowing increased" He
declared that one cotton bank was
charged 81 per cent and when its
borrowings increased during the NOV
ing period the rate went to az per
cent. He said the practical result
was that this little bank was forced
to choose between letting. its GUS
toners face ruin or paying ruinous
rates"

PROPOSEPLAN
TO STABILIZE
FARM PRICES
South Dakota Idea is Placed
Before Senate Agricul-
tural Committee
tBy The Associated Press,


PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 3.-A plan,
which its exponents claim would sta
bilize the prices of farm products
has recently been presented to the
senate agricultural committee a;
Washington. 1t has likewise passed
the lower house of the South Dakota
legislature and been endorsed by fin
ancial and farming associations.
According to Will H. Lyon of
Sioux Falls, s. d., the plans author,
it will not only stabilize ti., price Of
farm products but will go further and
stabilize business in general, to u
great extent.
In explaining the plan Mr.. Lyons
says:
THE stabilizing pan would have
the national government guarantee
TO farmers the average cost of pro-
ducing staple, non perishable crops,
plus a reasonable profit, by agreeing
to purchase whatever surplus remains
on hand at the end of the crop year,
delivered at certain terminal elevat-
ors and at a stipulated minimum
price.
s'This surplus in every staple crop
except wheat and cotton, is so small
that the amount of money required
would be insignificant in comparison
with the value of the entire crop.
III the surplus of any crop should
prove excessive, the stabilizing com
mission, fairy representing both pro-
ducers and consumers, appointed by
the president. would probably reduce
the price fer the following year and
increase the price of other products
in which a shortage might exist, and
thereby induce our farmers to in
crease production of flax, wool and
sugar, which we,now SO largely i'm
port, at a cost of several hundrci
million dollars year.
"The government under the plan
must necessarily control the import
Of such products and through the
stabilizing commission would pur
chase abroad. at the world price level
any deficit required and sell TO our
manufacturers at not less than the
guaranteed price texcept that intend
ed for export) thereby making a pro-
ii tof the difference between the cost
and selling price. Speculation in food
products so abhorrent TO the general
public, would, of course, be automat-
ically eliminated below the guaran
teed price
'sNow, when the farmer succeeds
in producing crop he does not know
whether to sell for fear the price viii
odowa, or hold for better mar
ket. Knowing in advance the guar
anteed minimum price of the various
products. the farmer can use his land
and ability to the best possible ad-
vantage and the rental and saleabie
value of land win be largely stabil-
lied. The guaranteed minimum
price, of course, should not be made
sufficiently hight induce speculation
in farm lands or produce an excessive
surplus.
"Under the stabilizing plan the
farmer would receive the same price
regardless of road conditions. Under
the present system the highest price
usually prevails when roads are bad
or elevators congested and delivery
is difficult or impossible. When
. these conditions improve the price
goes down"
