LOANS, PLEA
OF ROOSEVELT
$1,000, 900, 900 Bond Issue
Urged to Hurry Up
RefinanCing.
BILL Is INTRODUCED
House Move Follows Chiefs
Message; Guarantee of
Principal Asked.
BILL is INTRODUCED

by CHtttU ETtSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today put congress
to work on plans to speed up re-
financing of the nations farm mort
gage burden through a $4,000, 900, 900
issue of farm bonds carrying an I'M
conditional guarantee of the gov
eminent both on principal and in
tereSt.
In special message, the Presi-
dent urged congress to meet a
moral obligation" by guaranteeing
principal on the bonds and thus
make them readily acceptable to in
vestors. The bonds were authorized
last year, but with a guarantee only
of interest.
Chairman Marvin Jones of the
house agriculture committee forth
with introduced a bill carrying out
the President recommendations and
setting up a farm loan mortgage
corporation to aid federal land
banks in carrying out the ref1nan-
cling. Hearings will begin tomorrow
on the measure.
Principal Not Guaranteed
The bill also would increase to
$800,000,000 the $2O0,000,00 emer-
gency fund established last spring
for mortgage loans to farmers who
can not finance their debts through
the land banks.
Governor William I. Myers of the
farm credit administration, ex-
planned that it had been impossible
to market land bank bonds, on
which principal is not guaranteed
by the government, at or near par"
and consequently no public offering
had been attempted.
Under tthe new plan, he said, the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation
viii make the additional $60O,OOO,-
600 of emergency loans to farmers,
and will finance the land banks by
buying their bonds, doing so through
issuance of it's own $4,000, 100000 is
sue of bonds carrying government
guarantee.
Scale Down Obligations
Since conditions are such as to
make it undesirable or impracticable
to offer the bonds of the corpora
ton for sale on the market, farmer
borrowers from both the corpora
ton and the federal land banks will
be given, in lieu Of cash, bonds of
the corporation which would be
equivalent to direct obligations of
the United States government"
This means, in short, that holders
of present private mortgages which
are being refinanced, will be given
an unconditional guaranteed gov
eminent bond in eXchage. This is
expected to make mortgage holders
more willing to scale down their
obligations and ease the burden of
farm debt.
In the ref1nancing program
started last May, 100000 of
loans have been closed so far
through the land banks.

The arbitration agreement was
announced by Mayor Edward j.
Kelly after a conference of all
parties to the dispute shortly after
the United Press learned that fed
eral authorities were going to in
woke the licensing provisions of the
agricultural adjustment act no mat
ter what the warning milk factions
decided to do.
The decision to end the strike
came after the most thorough dis
turbance of farm products market
ing of series which has affected
the midwest in the last two years.
The agreement to resume normal
milk deliveries must be ratified by
directors Of the Chicago Pure Milk
Association, but this was regarded
as a mere formality.
However from the Auditorium
hotel where the farm picket leaders
have been in all-night conference
came reports that some opposition
might develop.
Mayor Kelly said: The strike is
over. Every one has agreed to a
truce. Milk deliveries will start
again just as fast as we can get the
machinery in operation
The settlement of the disputed
question of what farmers shall be
paid for their milk would be left to
a committee by terms Of the mayors
pact. 1t was suggested that one rep
resentative Of distributors. one rep
resentative Of producers and third
man chosen by these two seek a So
luton of the matter.
1t was believed that almost nor
NAL deliversies would be restored

Capt. Sayles Ruled Ineligible

Deputy in Post.

William r. Sayles, retired naval
captain, who has been serving as as
sistant deputy commissioner OF the
alcohol tax unit, Bureau OF Internal
Revenue, since May, cannot legally
hold that position, Controller General
McCarl held today in ruling which
quoted a law enacted in 1894 in sup
port of his contention.
At the same time, it was said at the
Treasury that special legislation prob
ably will be asked to retain Sayles,
who actually is in charge of enforce
ment activities of the bureau.
As a retired naval officer, Capt.
Sales draws $4,000 a year and the law
quoted by McCarl said that no person
getting more than $2,500 shall be ap-
pointed to any other Office to which
compensation is attached unless there
is special authorization for it.
The Treasury had sought to hold
Capt. Sayles in service on the ground
that an economy act section on dual

RETIREMENT FUND
/. CHARGES REFUTED
Civil Service Heads Say
U. S. Shares Are But
Slightly in Arrears.

In a detailed statement, obviously
designed to refute the allegation that
the Government retirement fund Is
'insolvent," the Civil Service Com
mission said today that on July last
the fund contained S283, SCI, ,642 "a,
which included the yearly balance Of
1862 2,56I, 64264 and the Federal ap-
preparation of s21 100000.
The charges concerning the reputed
condition of the fund we're made by E.
Claude Babcock, president OF the
American Federation of Government
Employees at the convention in New
York last month, and were disputed
at that time by the commission.
Balance Exceeds Investments.
The balance in the fund, the COM
mission said, was, therefore, more
than SI0OOO,000 in excess of the
amount required to return to all en-
ployes the amount which they have
deposited in the fund. Thus the
statement which has been made that
If every Federal employe resigned to-
day the fund would be insufficient by
5000 ,000, 900 to repay what the en-
ployes themselves had put into it is
totally without foundation in fact"
The Government made no contri-
button to the fund for the first eight
years of its existence, and its net
assets, as a consequence ARE approx
mately S59,138,357.36 less than would
be required to return the contribu-
tions of the employees with interest
if the fund were liquidated as of
July /, 1884" the commission says,
adding:
"In view of the fact that the resig-
nation of all employees subject to the
act, or of the liquidation of the fund,
are circumstances which are not ex-
pected to arise, it need hardly be
pointed out that this situation should
not cause undue apprehension or con-
cern at the present time, and has, in
fact, been well recognized by those
charged with administering the act"
While the Government has never
taken up the slack by adding to the
annual appropriation enough to COM
pensate for failure to make early ap-
propriations, the commission points
out that the fund has grown con-
tinuously.
But in any event." it is pointed
out, "the employees are dealing with
the United States Government, and
it is anticipated that the amounts
ultimately required to carry into
effect the retirement law will be
granted by Congress in an orderly
fashion as required by the condition
of the fund"
