Land Banks Under State Law. Without political bandwagon accompaniment or pledges of state treasury support, New York has launched a land bank on broader and simpler lines than the federal rural credit law proposes, It is broader inasmuch as support is not restricted to a single class, both farmers and city people be- ing alike eligible to land bank credit. It is simpler because it is more free from political red tape and utilizes existing institutions as the medium of direct action. The law creating the land bank was passed e larity in de- | by the legislature at the urgent request of man- Omabs. Bos, Clteulation’ Deertment. agers of savings and loan associations.

Omahs, Aug. 12.—To the Editor of The Bee: Anyone can hear that “Wilson kept us out of war” daily on the streets and our democratic newspapers lay great stress on it, lest it be forgotten as a campaign propaganda for catching votes. But the ery ti Wilson kept us out of war is shown up in all its hollow pretense by the proceed- ings in congress and by the letter of Senator Lane after his interview with the president. It was the good sense of the American people in the west that kept us out of war, and the timely concessions of Germany on the U- boat controversy. But under the Wilson administration we have surrendered the Pacific to Japan, we have embittered Mexico and conteibated the there our vacillating policies, and we shall find ourselves at the end of the OUR busy day in Chicago European war despised and hated, not alone ? by Germany, our second best customer, and can best be from Austria-Hungary, but by Great Britain, Kais: France and Russia as well. the New erhof, And where is the so much heralded Wil- sen promasiiy ¥ The hotel’s excellent service, sk the importer and exporter.

OBSERVER. How to Get New Industries. Omaha, Aug. 18.—To the Editor of The Bee: I hav d & great deal of late that the Commercial club with assistance of the newspapers termined to put Omaha on s the map as a manufacturing city. In view n'l'fl of all of activity I thought perhaps the public would like to get the promoters’ view of the situati The cammerchrn;lub is_a good, strong organization, but from all I can learn they have never fostered any new enterprises, but only recognized ness. The old ones are not the kind that big payrolls. The large industries of Omaha, the Union Pacific, packing houses and elevators, etc., have all MrES ) logical location. It takes new industries to bring new peo- ple into your town and when you go out ofter these industries you have to do some- thing more than talk. Last January I attempted to help the Drummond Motor company of Omahs to raise capital. This was an old established concern. I went to these associations and after a long time was told that they have an iron clad rule that they will not endorse or assist any new manufacturing enterprise in raising capital. In this case I had a sub- stantial man make two trips here from St. Louis endeavoring to set.$100,000 in the Drummond, but after he discovered the at, titude of these organizations he passed up Omaha and sted his money in an auto- mobile business in St. Louis. Last May I was instructed to take up the matter of a factory here that would em- ploy easily a thousand people. I went to the head of one of those organizations and was told they had not changed their policy, and this was dropped. I have worked on in- dustrial promotions in many cities and I will say that if the policy or your Commercial club is not changed you will not get any- where in the manufacturing class. The Com. mercial club have now asked for ideas from the public. There is only one place to get ideas of this nature and that is from the promoter and. promoters are not made, they are born; it takes three departmenta to build 2 manufacturing city, first the promoter with the proposition and to organize and finance | it, the Commercial club to endorse the prop- osition and the newspaper to boost it. At least fifty cities in the United States have increased their population from’50 per cent l to 160 per cent in the last ten years by promoting new factories while Omaha has only increased 20 per cent. Omaha has an absolute cinch on the north. west quarter of the United States and with the proper encouragement can land a dozen big factories here in no time to supply the above territory. It would take a book for me to explain the various reasons and how this can be accomplished. I am not eritieis- ing the Commercial club, but simply relating my experience. Personally 1 know of two large manu- facturing enterprises that c'n be launched bere that would employ 1,000 people each and will be glad to bring the people here when I know they will receive the proper support.
