Repeal of this law accord- ing to Senator Hamilton would leave it to the discretion of the farm loan department of the bank as to wheth- jer or not a loan was proper. Senator Eastgate of Grand Forks, introduced a bill changing the pres- |ent law regarding the acceptance or |discontinuance of county agent work |by the various counties of the state. | Under the terms of his bill it would hbe necessary for 25 per cent of the voters of the county to sign the peti- tion to have the question of the em- ployment of a county agent placed on the election ballot. Ten per cent is the number required at present. He would also raise the percentage of signatures on a petition for the discontinuance of the work to 35 per jcent instead of 10 per cent in coyn- ties where the county agent system is already in operation. Senator Bond’s bill changing the state guaranty fund law so/as to bring banks more directly under the control of the statg guaranty fund commission which had been expected to go in this afternoon was not ready in time for presentation, and yell probably be introduced Thurs- lay. ‘BRITISH CABINET APPROVES PLAN T0 FUND DEBT Washington, Feb. 1.— Secretary Mellon, chairman of the American debt funding commission, today call- ed a meeting of the commission for late in the afternoon to make plans to present to Congress the American- British agreement accepted in Lon- don yesterday, The calY for the meeting followed official notification of the state de- ‘partment by the Britith embpssy that the British cabinet had acted favorably on the American funding plan, .

Washington, Feb. 1.—Whether the American debt commision would meet lated today to act on the British ac- ceptance of the American debt fund- ing commission was said to rest on the expected receipt from Ambas- sador Harvey in London for further details to his report that “the ac- ceptance had been made in principle.” The time-of meeting will depend up- on the time the report is received and decgded. With the belief held in official circles that tfie major proposition of Interest and’ amortization had been accepted by, the British ‘without change, members of the coihmission were proceding- with intention of Presenting the tentative settlement terms to Congress.
