promise Are Killed.

Washington.-The first step to bring
about farmer representation on the
federal reserve board was taken by
the Senate in the passage of the Kel-
logg-Smith compromise bill increasing
the boards appointive membership
from five to six and providing that
the agricultural interests shall have a
spokesman among them.
The vote by which the bill passed
was 63 to nine. Seven of those who
opposed the proposition were Repub-
licans and two Democrats.
While the Senate was moving slow
ly toward passage of the measure.
word was received by Senators that
Mr.. Harding would observe the intent
of the legislation and would name the
farmer member.
By the bill, which constitutes an
amendment to the federal reserve act,
the limited designation of the present
law is wiped out and instead of the
specific provision for the naming of
two bankers on the board, the statute,
If agreed to by the House, will direct
the President, in making appoint
ments to the board, to have due re-
gard to fair representation OF the
financial, agricultural, industrial and
commercial interests and geographical
divisions of the country" The meas
ure also provides that hereafter no
federal reserve bank may enter into
contract for banking homes if their
cost is to exceed $25O,OOO, unless the
consent of Congress is first given.

the amendment restricting construc-

Georgia, were killed. The agreement
on the compromise, which bore the
approval not only of all the agricul-
tural bloc leaders in the Senate but
that of President Harding as we'll
