NEW sETUP-

The major step in the adminlstra-
tons recovery program is scheduled
to be an attempt to bolster up heavy
industries-those producing steel, ce-
ment, lumber and similar products
which are principally bought by other
industries rather than by the ultimate
consumer. There has been great busi-
ness improvement during the last few
months, but almost all of it has oc-
Cured within consumer industries.
Heavy industry is still in the doldruns
and that is serious because these
industries normally employ the most
workers, and the great bulk of un-
employment that still exists can be
traced to their lethargy. Practically
every business leader, irrespective OF
what kind Of company he belongs to,
has sung the same theme song: Well
never get far so long as heavy indus
try remains in state of coma.
The governments answer to indus
try's request, according to the u. s.
News, will have three phases. First
viii be program Of federal aid in fl
ancing home building and repairing.
It is hoped that this will liberate ST.
500 900, 900 of private capital which
is now more or less non-prod uctive.
Second, the government will loan
directly to industry through the fed
eral reserve banks and the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, so that
basically sound concerns need no long
er look vainly around for working cap
ital.
Third, the liability provisions of
the securities act-one of the most
fought about bits of Legislation the adj
ministration has passed-will be soft
ened. The act is so stringent in its
present form that it has practically
brought an end to the issuance of even
the most legitimate securities.
It is believed that this program can
be followed at comparatively small
cost to the government. In the mat
ter of home financing, the govern
ment will simply guarantee por-
tion of the loans from 10 to 20 per-
cent. The experts say that is enough
to loosen a vast amount of damned
up credit. Also, it will make possible
longtime financing, with amortiza-
ton over as many as 20 years, elm
mating the type of mortgage which
natures every three years or so and
must be refinanced as a substantial
cost to the borrower.
Funds can seasily be made available
for the loans to industry. Senator
Glass is now sponsoring law which
would permit the federal reserve bank
to make loans that regular banking
channels are unable to handle under
the present set-up.
Generally speaking, the reaction to
this program is very favorable, mas.
much as it lays all the stress on slim
ulating private business, and does no,
involve any great extension Of govern.

Big, had, Bad-man is Held
and He Isn't Bad Anymore

Morris Jacobs, cattle buyer from
st. Paul is lodged In the county Jail
on complaints filed by county attor-
ney Vernon Hoven, the result OF es-
capades in which Jacobs had center
ed for several weeks. Charges now
filed against him include third de-
gree assault, and shipment OF cattle
without proper permits. Other
charges are pending.
Coming here about a month ago,
supposedly representing a cattle pur-
chasing firm in st. Paul, Jacobs had
purchased several carloads OF cattle
in the Comertown and Dooley vicin-
tiles. On several occasions com
plants were heard from that section
that he had, while being presumably
in an intoxicated condition, made
threats ON several persons. The
sheriff was called several times to
straighten out entanglements. JAG
obs was put on the right track" but
just couldn't stay out Of trouble. A
climax to his escapades came when

made on Fred Prebbernow, Dooley
depot agent Jacobs attempted t
run over Prebbernow with his car
following an argument. 1t seemed
that Jacobs left Z head OF cattle In
the Dooley stockyards, and myster
iously disappeared for about a week
No arrangements were made to feed
and water the stock. Before his re
turn some kind-hearted person haC
turned the cattle from the pens tx
save them from thirst and starvation
Jacobs did not like that act and at
