BANKERS PLAN
FARM RELIEF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-F-
Farmers and business men Of the
drought afflicted states had notice
today from the bankers In charge
OF relief financing that they must
look primarily to their local banks
and credit organizations for funds
TO get back on their feet.
Adopting q program Of coordina-
ton for furnishing credit to COM
munities deprived Of their normal
reserves by the rain shortage, the
fiscal representatives OF ID state
l lief committees yesterday recon-
mended the full legal use Of federal
credit available. They made plain,
however, that would not be suf-
ficient to give full measure relief,
which, unfortunately seems to be
anticipated In many quarters"
Nor. perhaps" they added, will
such q program fully meet the en-
ergency that exists"
The recommendations adopted by
the bankers on the basis Of the
report Of a subcommittee headed
by Melvin A. Traylor. president Of
the First National Bank of Chi
cago, provided first for employ
ment of the full credit of local
banks and expansion Of existing
agricultural credit corporations and
cooperative marketing associations
Next, where those were unavailable
or inadequate, the bankers favored
formation Of agricultural credit
corporations to operate as loaning
agencies under the intermediate
credit JankS.
The cooperative associations we're
advised to use the liberal" finan-
cial assistance offered by the farm
board. The findings OF the bank
ers were Incorporated in a report
presented TO President Hoover, at
whose instance they met in Wash
ington to formulate plans. To the
report was appended a list of ia
cilities available through federal
agencies prepared by the officials.
The department Of agriculture
listed several relief tasks in which
1t is engaged but pointed out that

available for loans. This amount
is restricted to the 1880 crop in
Virginia. Missouri. Oklahoma. and
Alabama, being the balance OF a
special appropriation for seed loans
In southern states made by con-
gress last winter.
The treasury reported no funds
available. The Federal Reserve
Board promised leriency toward
member banks Of the affected re-
gion.

HIGHWAY BONDS

Means Nothing

AUSTIN, Aug. 26.-It won't mean
anything for the present. but the
democratic state platform to be
written at Galveston Sept. 8 Is
practically certain TO carry Il en-
dorsement Of a statewide highway
bond plan
This was foreshadowed by re-
tention OF the bond issue as q cam
paign plank in Ross s. Sterling's
successful race, even after cam
paign leaders admitted the bond
proposal cannot get before the vo-
tiers for another two years.
Mr.. Sterling. as the nominee. and
his friends, will have the light to
draft the party platform. Sterling
said his opposition had charged he
would drop the bond proposal In
the run-off race, and just TO show
them. he commended II In every
one OF his 60-odd speeches. The
cards read now that he would con-
slider abandoning 1t In the party
platform rs backing up the same
as he would have backed up to
44AL ~ 04A4AAA AAo 4G([N
The platform Is sure TO endorse
equalizing and adjusting taxes and
modifying the tax burden upon the
small farm and home owner. MIR,
Sterling advanced the road bond
plan as the only immediate practi-
cal route 10 this goal. He submitted
ID as a plan mot to mortgage your
home and farm, but to lift the
mortgage already upon them; no,
TO bond you but 10 unbond you
His speeches reiterated that he
wanted the state bond issue to re-
tire outstanding local and county
issues now levied upon property
am TO relieve counties frnm hav-
ing to pay into the construction OF
state highways. He wanted "a
transfer the whole cost OF high
ways TO the gasoline revenues; and
reaffirmed that this plan will allow
schools to keep their present one
fourth the gasoline tax.
