Federal Land Banks
Are Not Meeting Demand
Fail to Care for Farmers, Says Rep
resentative Theodore Christensen,
Father Amendment No.

Voters of Minnesota need have no
fear that passage of Amendment No.
l will duplicate the mamchinery OF
the Federal Land banks, according to
Theodore Christianson of Dawson,
father of the law unuder which the
aendment is submitted.
Mr.. Christensen urged unanimous
support of the amendment, pointing
out that the only obstacle III the
path to passage is indifference on
the part of voters in the cities and
towns.
"a state system is needed to sup
plement the federal agency" MIR.
Christianson says in statement
made public this week, because:
"1st-The federal land banks have
failed utterly to take care of the farm
loan business of the country and will
continue to fail, unless they are prod
ded into greater activity than has been
manifested in the past.
"2nd-They have placed arbitrary
on the number OF apph-
cations they would receive from each
association and have placed lmpend-
Inents in the way of forming new
associations.
"3rd-They have neglected to ma
intain clerical force adequate to care
promptly for the business offered:
"4th-They have been guilty OF IN
excusable delays-from three to SIX
months-in completing loans.
"5tl-They have pleaded lack OF
funds and at the. same tlme' tne9
have declined to sell bonds to invest
ors who demanded them. @
"6th-They are organized on a
foreign and un-American plan when
requires the formation OF local as
sociations, plan UNACCEPTABLE TO- ana
distasteful to the American farmer,
who is first of all an individuallst ana
who refuses to underwrite the ob!l-
cations of his neighbor and who would
rather go without relief than get II
by entangling his own affairs win
those of his neighbors.
"Voters are urged to remember
that blank amendment ballots count
against the proposal.

Charges that manufacturers of

proved by the Legion. Its State Man
ager, H. w. Kellerman Of Alexandria,
asked for this approval and offered
approximately $500. per month to the

herman showed that of the $1.00 col
lected from citizens who join this
league, 25c goes to the soliciting
agent, 15c to the county agent, 3Oc to
the state travelling agent, 4c to Manag-
er Kellerman, and 26c for badges,

justed compensation, the Legion failed
to see the proposition as anything but
another attempt to goldbrick the Ser

to approve the scheme, declaring that

freely of it's time and energy without
pay to the adjusted compensation
cause, has not and never will brand ITS
