HARDING SAYS LOAN CONDITION GOOD FOR
 ANYWAY INDICATOR

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. Development of a thorough code of law and business procedure, with the proper machinery of finance. to as- sure the farmer as generous a supply To: working capital on as reasonable terms as is granted other industries, was advocated here today by Presi- dent Harding in opening the national agricultural conference.
 An industry" he said, more vital than any other, ill which nearby half the nations wealth is invested can be relied on for good security and certain returns"
 Declaring that on the matter of what may be called fixed investment capital the disadvantage of the farmer so impressed public opinion that the federal farm loan board was established to meet the need, the president said that the farmer still needed some provision for supplying him with working capital.
 Compared with other industries" he continued, "the wonder is that agriculture, thus deprived of easy access to both investment and accom- mediation capital has prospered even so we'll"
 Lines on which financial support of agriculture may be organized, he said, are suggested in the plan of the federal farm loan board and in these rural finance societies which have been so effective ill some Euro pean countries.
 "The cooperative loaning associa tions of Europe have been effective incentives to united action by farm ers,' he continued, "and have led them directly into cooperation ill both production and marketing which have contributed greatly to the sta bilization and prosperity of agricul ture."
 Whether these organizations are considered as means 10 buying the farmers requirements in a cheaper market, he asserted, or to selling his products in a more remunerative one the conclusion in all cases is the same; it is that the farmer is as good business man as any other if he has the chance"
 The manufacturer, he said, whose turnover is rapid, finds he can bor- row money from the bank on short time Eotes when he needs working capital and his money will come back to him in time to meet his short term obligation On the other hand, the farmers turnover IS long one, from a year i'll most crops to some times three years in the cattle in- dustry.
 Yet the farmer is compelled" he declared, If he borrows his working capital to borrow for short periods, to renew his notes several times be- fore his turnover is possible and to take the chance that if he is called upon .untimely to pay off his notes, he may be compelled to sacrifice growing crops or unfinished live stock Obviously, the farmer needs to have provisions, adapted to his re- quirements, for extension of credit to produce his working capital
 The president said that concern ing the grim reality of the present crisis in agriculture there can be no differences of opinion among inform ed people"

 can, of North Dakota, ill charge of 1 the measure, pleading that the Upited
 States mot play the role of shylock ! in dealing with its allies" and that
 the democrats cease opposing the proposed grant of authority to the debt commission to fix the time
 when interest payments shall begin. [ The first days consideration of the
 measure saw only the completion of
 the opening statement by Senator
 Nc Cumber as chairman of the
 finance committed who was subjected
 to rapid cross-fire from the minor i ity.
 Discussion included use of pro ceeds from the refunded bonds to pay the soldier bonus. the ability of the debtor nations to begin paying their interest and the plans of the administration for the sale of some of the refunded obligations in the United States Pleading for broad authority for the commission in con ducting the refunding negotiations, Senator McCumber said he. could conceive of a situation where it might be desirable to agree with debtor nation to fix the interest rate high enough to cover during the life of the bonds the accumulated inter est Such a plan was opposed by Senators Simmons and Lenroot, re- publicans, of Wisconsin
 Delay for Bonus
 Senator McCumber gave 1t as his opinion that none of the proceeds from the refunded foreign debt would be available for the bonus un- til one year from July l, the date on which republican leaders have said the bonus would be made effective. He thought congress should provide some form of special taxation to cover bonus payments for the year and then authorize the sale of enough of the bonds to take care of succeed ing yearly bonus expenses if the in- terests from the foreign debt should not prove sufficient His estimate was that for the first year the bonus would cost $3OO0OO,0O0
 Pointing out that the secretary of the treasury under the demand notes now held by the United States had to collect the interest, Sena- tor Hitchcock, democrat, of Nebraska suggested that there was no. inmed fate need for the proposed legislation.
 Senator McCumber contended. however, that the demand notes should be refuded with interest rates and other questions settled so as to helA stabilize economic conditions overseas.

Allied Debt No Good

In the event bonus bill is enact ed, treasury officials said, some tax would have to be provided. Use of the allied debt as the basis for bonus financing was said to be regarded as impracticable.
 In the opinion of the treasury it would cost more to take the money for tine bonus from the sale of bonds based on the allied debt than it would to float the country's own bonds. For instance, it was explained should bonds representing Great Britain for approximately $5,000,000 be issued as part of a bonus pay ment plan, they would have to be sold at a discount by this govern ment because they would be subject to the variops forms of taxation.
 At the same time it was added, the government would have to guarantee the foreign bonds, the sale of which would be taking money out of the investment market which, otherwise might go toward American securi- lties. Data compiled by the treasury was understood to cover various fields of possible taxation without, however, considering sales tax as a practical solution of the problem.
 Bank Checks-2c
 The treasury, it was added, consid- CTS it advisable and has suggested tax of two cents on all bank checks, which it is estimated would produce I$50000,000 a year while further reve- nue might be obtained by increasing taxes on negotiable instruments.
