HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN BONDS TO BE ISSUED Tax Exemption Provision Is Necessary; Government Is Upheld WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. The farm loan act, designed to assist agricultural development by pro viding readily accessible credits to farmers through federal land banks was declared valid today by the supreme court. In an opinion which Commis sioner C. E. Lobdell of tne farm Loan board declared removes ev ery shadow of question as to the legality of the banks or their bonds, the codrt held congress had authority to establish the land banks and to exempt the bonds troni state taxation. Ilomls Ready in 30 Days I He announced there would be an immediate Issue of farm loan bonds to finance the hundreds of millions or aonars in loans ap proved by the board. "It will be at least 30 days be fore funds are available," be said. but distribution will be begun as soon as possible." The farm loan board is hopeful that the market may obsorb the bonds equally to the borrowing demands of the farms. . The case was -an appeal from lower court decrees refusing an injunction sought by C. W. Smith, a stockholder in the Kansas City Title and Trust company to re strain that institution from in vesting funds in land bank secur ities. The contention was made that the farm loan act was inval id as congress had neither author ity to establish banks or to ex empt their securities from state taxation. Government Tpheld The court. In a pYactically nnanimous opinion, upheld the authority of the government. The power to designate fiscal agencies has been conceded congress since the days of Chief Justice Mar shall, the opinion held, and the tax exemption provision was a necessary protection. Justices McReynolds and Holmes. dissenting, explained they took exception to the court's assumption of jurisdiction, rather than to the findings. The case was within, the scope of the Mis sour! laws and the state courts. they said. "Congress declared it necessary to create these fiscal agencies, and to make them authorized de- poritorles of public moneys. Its power to do so is no longer open to question."
