July II IA"V President lloosevelt vetoed to day a bill to extend tor two years low Interest rates on fed eral land bank loans. In a message lo the house announcing hia action, ha aald the veto was hsaed on a general lowering of farm mortgage In terest rates, an Increase In the ability of farmers to pay Interest and on tha administration policy of trying to balance the budget during lha fiscal year )S. Tha bill also would broaden the field of loans on which In terest reductions were grsnted by Including a 4 per cent rat on land bank commissioner loans. This would b a cut from t per cent. "Rlaky" Ixiana Explaining Ibat a majority of Iheae loans were on second mortgages and lhal there were oilier "factors of risk" Involved, tha president said tha i per cent rate waa not excessive.
