TOO MANY BILLS
WASHINGTON, Dee. 19. Federal
Farm Loan Commissioner Lobdell
gave tho senate committee his opinion
of various features of pending bills
proposing additional farm loan credits.
Directing particular attention to the
proposal to establish:!' government de
benture department to handle loans
secured by personal property, he sug
gested that If guch debentures were
issued it should be under direction of
the federal reserve system rather than
under the farm land banks. He could
see no objection, he said, to creating
credit based upon production. . Such
credits would rest, he added, upon the
personal character and standing of the
borrower there being no tangible basis
of credit In a growing crop.
In discussing proposals to Increase
from $10,000 to $25,000 the maximum
ot loans which could be made by land
banks to any one borrower, Mr. Lob
dell gave his conditional approval, sug
gesting, however, that such an in
crease might operate to the disadvan
tage of the small borrower.
Various methods were discussed by
members of the committee with Com
mtssfoner . Lobdell looking to some
means by which state banks and trust
companies could be brought Into the
federal reserve system.
The general condition of the farmer
Is much better than last year, Mr.
Lobdell said, adding that agricultural
demands for credit are being better
met now than a year ago. .
