LAND BANK PROFITS
DISPOSED OF IN BILL
Borah Wants Gains of More
Than Six Per Cent Placed
In Federal Treasury.

The Senate Committee on Bank
ing and Currency viii meet today
TO set a date for hearings on the
Borah bill and other measures per
tanning to agricultural credit.
Chairman Mclean announced after
q meeting Of the committee yes
terday.
The Borsh bill proposes 70 amend
the Farm Loan act by diverting the
profits OF the joint stock land banks
above 6 per cent into the Treasury
for the benefit of taxpayers. in the
same manner that the profits Of the
Federal Reserve banks over Q per
cent are diverted.
In commenting on the action Of
the committee, Chairman McLean
called attention to the recent report
of the Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon pertaining to the joint stock
land banks. stating:
The activities Of the joint land
banks during the past year have
likewise been greater than during
any previous year. and the num-
ber OF joint stock land banks has
increased from 26 to 81 since the
previous report Of the Secretary
OF the Treasury. In view Of the
rapid increase OF the activities OF
these institutions and their grow
ing output of tRx-free bonds. Il In
appropriate to suggest again the
question as to the continued ex-
istence of this branch OF the sys-
TEN. and as to the economic sound
ness of the policy Of granting TAX
exemption privileges to private en-
terprise organized for individual
profit. The Treasury has hereto
fore recommended that as to fu-
ture issues of joint stock land bank
bonds the tax exemption provision
should be repealed. and II reiterates
that recommendation in the belief
that II is bad public. policy to grant
tax exemptions. amounting In sub
stance TO a subsidy from the Fed
eral Government. to private enter

BILL FOES
GET READY T0F|GHT
Demonstration Yesterday Re-
vealed Need for Stubborn
Battle in Defense.
By Universai Service.

The ship subsidy bill was started
on its way in the Senate yesterday.
The full text of the bill was read.
together with the majority and mi
nority reports on II. Senator Jones,
chairman Of the commerce commit
tee, who has the bill in charge,
hopes to get the floor today to make
his opening statement explaining the
nature and purposes OF the measure.
Yesterdays proceedings demon.
strated to supporters Of the bill that
they must fight every inch Of the
way to- overcome the stubborn oppo-
sition that will be raised. This op-
position has all the semblance of a
filibuster, despite the announcement
by Senator Fletcher and others that
they will seek to defeat the bin by
more direct methods.
II was because OF a demand made
by Democratic opponents that the
text Of the bill had to be read in
full. Senator Jones asked unani-
nous consent that the reading OF
the bill be dispensed with. but an
objection by Senator Robinson
blocked this and an additional objec-
ton made reading Of the two reports
necessary. This long reading pre-
vented Jones from opening the de-
bate, as he had planned.
Supporters Of the bill are con-
vinced that some trough" tactics
may have to be employed to bring
the opposition to terms and permit
the bill to be voted upon. 1t is
planned to force the Senate to hold
night sessions, thereby wearing
down the opposition and checking
any attempt to fillbuster against the
hill through the medium Of long and
irrelevant speeches.
Administration Senators believe IL
will be impossible for the opponents
to carry on a filibuster long enough
to prevent the bill from reaching a
vote. II the bills supporters can
muster enough votes to keep the
bill constantly before the Senate.
they believe the filibuster will wear
itself out and the voting stage VIII
be reached.
All of the opposition Is not con-
fined to the Democratic sides Sena-
tors La Toilette. Borah and Norris
on the Republican side intend to op-
pose IL. When Senator Jones called
up the bill yesterday. Norris pro
posed to substitute for II the rural
credits bill. which, he said. was Of

lation- La Toilette is prepared to
speak against the bill. probably to-
morrow.
Senator Robinson spoke in opposi.
tion to a motion by Jones 20 have
the Senate take a recess until IL
o'clock today in order that IL might
have q full day to devote to the bill.
Robinson declared the subsidy meas.
ure was an issue In the recent elec-
ton and claimed that the people had
expressed disapproval Of II by de.

committed to support IL. He said
that the bill. IL considered at all,
