Railroad Credit Corporation, and
the Baltimore and Ohio has asked
for $1,00O,OOO, the first such re-
quests by the Eastern trunk lines.
E. G. Buckland. head Of the

were for aid in interest payments.
He pointed out that loans from
the Railroad Credit Corporation
carried only 21a per cent interest.
while the Reconstruction Corpora
ton charges 6 per cent.
The Central contributed about
$4,000, 900 to the Credit Corpora
ton in 1892 from freight sur
charges, while the B. and o. paid
in about .$4,O0O,0OO. The loans,
therefore, make available to them
some of the money they have con-

MOODY'S SCANS
FARMPLANS

The farm allotment plan is
defensible in principle and might
prove beneficial if wisely framed,
but the parity Plan" in the
Jones bill is called as perversion
of the allotment principle in an
analysis of the Farm Problem
and the Allotment Plan" issued
by Moody's Investors Service.
The enactment of any farm
relief plan will do more harm
than good, Moody's contends un-
less it is conceived and executed
as part of a broad program of
reconstruction which will include
also domestic and international
debts, tariffs, trade restrictions
and diSorganized monetary SyS'
TENS.
The analysis discusses in de-
tail other schemes advanced from
time to time, such as the eQuali-
zation fee and. the export deben-
ture plan, finding the chief OBJ.
lection to these two was that in
raising agricultural prices they
would automatically encourage
the production of larger crops
and thereby add to the size Of
the surplus.
The allotment plan, on the
other hand, aims at reducing
vastly or eliminating the export
surplus, while at the same time
raising. the farmers income with.
out artificially raising open mar
ket quotations for farm products.
The analysis discusses the princi-
pal objections to the plan, as
well as its advantages.
