Relief OF

Considered

Governors QUESTIONABLE
Outline Changes Be.
licved Necessary.
Five Faults Outline d

Lincoln, Sept. l0.-(Special.) J.
Facts CLEANED by Governor S. R
McKclvie from letters received from
900 Nebraska bankers in answer &c
ouestionnaires sent TO them, revealed
the governor stated today, five fun
damental economic changes ,neces-
sary 10 put the stock raiser and
farmers back on the road to pros
perity. These changes, as summar-
lied by Governor McKclvie, follow:
Freight rates are referred to al
most unanimously by the bankers as
a burden which, in the face OF pres
ont prices for farm products, is
greatly hampering the movement oi
crops. This also stands in the way
OF cattle feeding.
Una;.imous in Opinion.
THE bankers are, practically unan.
imous in their opinion that there is
too great a disparity between the
price that the farmer receives for
his products and tho price he has 10
pay for the things he is obliged TO
buy. In other words, there has not
been a proper readjustment OF ex-
charge values between raw and fill
ished products. This condition has
been altered somewhat, but further
reductions in retail prices must sure
iy come.
"The farmer is greatly i1ampered
now through lack of adequate credit
facilities to finance his business. The
urgent demands OF the federal re-
serve bank for liquidation of obi
cations compelled the farmer to take
very heavy losses. In this respect
many banks have been hard pressed,
too. With so recent an experience
in mind, 1t is not probable that either
the bankers or the farmers will be
very enthusiastic about getting into
such close quarters again. If farm
ers are to feed cattle aud extend
their operations along other essen
tial lines, they must be able to bor-
row money at a reasonable rate OF
interest and on sufficient time that
they may OF be obliged to manke un-
necessary sacrifices. Unless this as
surancc is given by the federal re-
serve system, the reserves taht now
lie in the federal reserve banks will
serve only az a deterrent to re-
turn Of normal conditions.
Debt Reduction Necessary.
"A very great number OF bankers
refer to the burden of taxation and
indicate that there must be a re-
duction in this item. | think every
cne is agreed upon this opinion and
no doubt these reductions will come.
Meantime, an intelligent understand
ing OF the tax question will indicate
70 everyone that this reduction must
begin with the people themselves.
For instance, only Is cents OF the
average tax dollar in the state OF
Nebraska goes to the state. The
balance is levied and expended by
the smaller units Of government. OF

death Of Miss Rape, Kennedy said,
but future developments might
change the situation, however.
THE only charge that could be
suggested by cases of this character
is murder" Kennedy said, "and we
have no evidence as yet that such
charge is justified. However, the
situation is an extremely serious
one"
Kennedy said he would question
all OF those who attended the party.
