100000 MAXIMUM O A
Industries Seeking Loan May Atblo
Direct to RFC Without First
Making Application To
Federal Reserve Banks.

Congress passed the industrial
loan bill Wednesday whereby the
government through the RFC and
1.-THE reserve bank will be in a
position to aid private industry by
lending at least $40, 900, 600 in the
near future.
The house, after shunting aside
a score of amendments to let the
new loans cover everything from
cities to private schools and hos
ipitals, finished two days of hard
work by passing and sending back
to the senate the Administrations
industry loan bill.
The senate had approved a bill
fixing the maximum RFC five
year loans at $250,000,00 and
limiting the amount the II Fed
eral Reserve banks could advance
to $280,O0O,O00
But the house discarded the
senate provisions and inserted its
own, which increases the RFC total
to $300,000,00 and cut the Re-
serve bank maximum to $40, OOO,-
900.
Immediately after passing the
industry loan measure, the house
took up another administration bill
that postponing the permanent
deposit insurance plan until July
1, 1885.
In its two days of debate, the
house made only six consequential
changes in the industry loan bill
Most were adopted. "Wednesday
They would:
Allow the RFC to lend up tt
a total of $75,Ooo,ooO to schoo.
districts which can offer good Sc
curity. One of the things fol
which this could be used would be
to pay salaries due school teachers
Stipulate that the federal export
import-banking corporation shall
submit annual reports to congress
Representative Goss, Republican Of
Connecticut, said the amendment
would require such reports from
all federally-owneded corporation
already in existence and not COW
cred by an especial law.
Eliminate a senate requirement
that corporations seeking loan
must first apply to the Federal Re
serve banks before taking their ap-
plication to the RFC. The am.
endment struck out the stipula-
ton that aid must first be sought
at the Federal Reserve bank.
Reduce the limitation on maxi.
mum individual RIG loans from
$1,000, 900 TO 100000.

Two Views of Dust
Cloud
How People Reason
Flaw In Argument
At Harvest Time

Washington-Curiously enough:
the most interesting political event
under discussion in Washington at
this writing is nothing that the Ad-
ministration or Congress or anyone
else had anythingg to do with. 1t
$ the drought in the Wheat and corn
belts.
The drought is political in its ef-
fects, because it has apparently done
what the Administration has been
attempting to do by political
methods; that is, to reduce the sup
ply of grain to avert a surplus and
raise the price. Instead of operat-
ing through the political machinery
of the AAA, Nature took a hand
and brought about a crop shortage
by the old reliable shortcut meth
cd. Physical evidence of the
drought was brought to President
Roosevelt by the air route. The
dust storm which darkened the sun
on the Atlantic Coast, with grains
of grit from North Dakota and the
rest of the praire states forming Q
cloud over the East, left plenty of
dirt on the roof and p~orticoes OF
the White House itself.

and there are some pretty wise ones

what the AAA has so far failed

price of wheat. 1t sure did that.
Wheat jumps from 70 cents in Chi
