HOOver's Farm
Plans Unknown
Continued From Page y

portion of Mr. Hoover's st. Louis
speech on farm relief, saying he
had accepted the general principles
there laid down in farming his CO.
operative marketing bill introduced
Mt the last session of congress. This
bill is expected to form the general
outlines of the new measure.
Brookhart advocated his old bill
proposing a 81, ,500,0 100000 guarantee
to enable the farmers to market
their products for price based upon
cost of production. Brookhart said
he believed Mr.. Hoover would sign
such bill.
"I can t speak for the Presi-
dent he said, "but | would not
be here advocating this plan if |
did not expect it to be signed. -
Cites Food Administration
Brookhart said his measure could
not cost the government more than
5000, 100000 for the next two years
and he argued the government owes
the farmers this much from post
war dcflation. He said his bill
would work out the farm situation in
exactly the same manner in which
Mr.. Hoover worked out the situation
as food administrator during the war
at which time Mr.. Hoover made
S59,000,000 profit for the govern
ment out of the transaction.
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, said he did not doubt Brook
hart's word about the President sign
ing the bill, but that it is useless
for congress to continue to legislate
rs it has for the last 10 years with
out some assurance from the White
House as to what the President
wants.
'We were told during the last
campaign" said Norris, who sup
ported Governor Smith, "that if we
elected Mr.. Hoover he would give us
a plan of farm relief. He never
disclosed it in detail during the
campaign and his friends now con-
tend they are unable to speak for
him.
81 think that before we spend
two or three weeks in hearings here
we ought to find out what Mr.. Hoov-
cr's plan is
"FYou have my permission to find
out" said Brookhart. 81 think my
bill comes within the Republican

BANKERS
BAR SCHOOL LOANS
City Council Committee to
Quiz Financiers for Refusal
to Grant Cash.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February g. Chicago
bankers were called upon yesterday to
tell a city council subcommittee why
they have declined to lend money to the
city and the school board. Five repre-
sentatives of Loop banks had agreed to
appear before the subcommittee.
The city and school board borrowed
$40 ,0O0, 900 last year to obtain cash with
which to operate, and an even greater
sum will be required for 1929, council
men said. Aldermen have been advised
by City Controller George K. Schmidt
that Chicago banks have refused to lend
any money on 1929 tax warrants, and
that in order to obtain necessary funds,
he had been forced to go to New York
for $15,00O,000. An interest rate of 57s
per cent was charged there, he said,
compared with AZ and per cent paid
last year.
Alderman Joseph B. McDonough,
heading the council investigation, sug-
gested serious possibilities unless money
can be borrowed locally, as the school
board is prohibited from paying more
than S per cent interest.
Numerous reports were current prior
to today's meeting. One said that the
bankers felt there was some legal ques-
ton about the 1929 tax warrants on
which loans are sought. Another repre-
sented the bankers as feeling that 1928
tax warrants will not have been paid
until all taxes are collected this year.
Chicago banks at present have $43, $780,
600 of the 1928 warrants on hand.

the development of the town and to
have secured payments on building lots.
There are five distinct counts lodged
against Rood for different letters which
he is said to have circulated through
the mails.
The alleged transactions are said to
have occurred when investments were
being made in Florida real estate dur
ing the boom in 1925.

excellent English-at least all we met
and all convinced that Japan will soon
have other schools Of this same kind
The equipment of the university,
which enrolls 1000 students, boarding
and day, is excellent, though somewhat
handicapped by division into two sec
tons, with a small local community
tucked in between after the strange
Japanese fashion. 1 asked one of the
teachers about the institutions finances.
She referred to another and then told
me that the annual budget is about
$50, 900. Now please bear In mind that
there are 1000 students on the rolls.
And, furthermore, learned that the
tuition Is at the staggering sum of 100
ven year-less than $50. asked how
this could possibly be done. She smiled
and said. You know that teachers
salaries are not large In Japan"
Spirit Is Indomitable.
But there is an fndonaitable spirit at
this place, determination to improve
the condition of the Japanese women.
When money is needed, said my in
formant, they 60 out and get 1t from
the wealthy supporters of the university.
This is one of the most significant indi-
cations of feminist movement in
Japan, not yet fully in evidence. but
certain to appear as a factor in the So
cial equation within a generation.
