| Il rival organization TO tne var
administrations opposition IN the open
corporations Senator Lodge expressed the
senate. but this didn't deter the agricul-
turaI group. President Harding sum-
moned Secretaries Hoover, Wallace ana
Mellon and Eugene Meyer. managing III,
rector of the war finance corporation, ami
they evolved a bin which would attempt
to broaden the scope of the war finance
corporation so as to do all necessary.
Back to War Time Methods.
. The administration. realizing that con-
greSs wasn't in mood to pay out money
to the railroads. decided that it would be
good idea to couple the railroad finance
problem with the farm aid proposal and
try TO make an omnibus bill of IT. IN
other words. the Harding administration
has found ii necessary TO go back 20 war
time methods and build an institution
which will be an auxiliary to the govern
ments financial machinery and viii de-
vote itself exclusively to emergency credit
situations growing out of the readJnSt-
ments on farm and on the railroads and
presumably will help other classe@sof In
dustry which need financing.
The war finance corporatIon~Rls re
quired by law to extend credit only IT
private capital is unable to finance legiti-
mate export companies. But the govern
ment is obliged also to sscrutinize the class
of securities offered as credit and the ma
ture of the contracts of the export con-
Germ The President feels that it is de-
sirable to have single board look after
all these questions rather than to have
credit extended through different govern
ment agencies.
Agriculturists Displeased.
The agricultural element doesn't like
the idea of financing the railroads through
the new bin which. on the one hand side
tracks the Norris measure and on the
other hand makes provision for payments
to the railroads. The farmer spokesman
would like to have the railroads reduce
reight rates before being given any money.
That's why the administration program
will encounter opposition in congress and
the Democrats will probably assist the
Republican insurgents in their fight to
keep the farm credit plan from being tied
up with the bill to assist the railroads.
The administration will have its way
eventually. but the significant thing thus
far is that a broad plan for the financ-
ing of private enterprises has had TO be
proposed by President Harding and his
advisers to meet the demands of the agri-
cultural group and the needs of the rail
roads. All these steps are calculated to
help business back TO normal. though the
requirements and desires of the different
classes of industry are making the road
rough one to travel. Every day the legis-
lative situation gets more and more en-
tangled with the problems of business and
the Harding administration now finds il
necessary to add to tariff and taxation

WASHINGTON. July 27.-President
Harding has had to intervene again in the
affairs of congress. The agricultural
group. which has once before threatened to
unset the administration program, has
finally succeeded in forcing to the front
its proposals to finance agriculture and
the Harding administration now has
worked out a compromise plan which is
designed to satisfy the agricultural ele-
ment and cure a few other domestic
troubles at the same time. 1t ~ the
most significant step that has been taken
to meet the ailments of business since the
4th of March.
The Presidents Move.
The President suggested broad policy
which is in a sense reversal of Repub-
lican policy of a year ago. but which has
been made necessary by developments and
circumstances. When the war ended. the
Republican congress put an end to the
war finance corporation and the cry
everywhere was to take the government
ont of the banking business Economic
distress developed a demand for the re-
vival of the war finance corporation. This
was bitterly fought by Secretary Houston
and the Wilson administration. but con-
gress passed the measure over the presi-
Dental veto. 1t was argued that the gov
eminent would do only an incidental thing
and would not engage in financing pri-
vate business on large scale. But the
revival of the war finance corporation
hasn't proved sufficient. The farmers are
not satisfied They realized that the
corporation did help finance exports but
its powers were not adequate to finance
the delivery on this side of the water
the movement from farm to SeabOard. So
the Norris bin was proposed whereby a
revolving fund would be used making
available sums all the way from $780,
100000 to one hundred billion. 1t looked
like class legislation and seemed to set up

Fire In Lewiston Bank
When Officer Murray gave his
customary glance into the First Ma
tional Bank, Main street, Lewiston
Monday evening. he discovered the
interior filled with smoke, and lost no
time in ringing in box SO at the cor
ner of Main and Lisbon streets. The
firemen. called out into nearly zero
weather, found clothing hung near
the vault burning briskly, but only
one line of chemical was used to
smother the small blaze. Small dam
age was occasioned, 1t being confined
to smoke damage and that done to
the plate glass door which had to be
smashed to gain admittance. The Gus
tomary large crowd that box rung
in from the business district usually
calls out was missing last night, and
the small group that braved the nip
ping wind fingered at the scene but a
few minutes.
