Outlines Solution to Problems in Lisbon Meeting
Fred W. Sargent president of the North Western railway told more than 200 farmers and town business leaders that economic malaise stems from farm income misadjustment. He proposed a two point plan including tariff protections for American farm products and development of industrial agricultural units to boost crop processing and replacement. He noted a Ford Dearborn conference on May 7-8 to study crops like soybeans and hemp and criticized the New Deal farm program as incomplete. Endorsing capitalism, he warned against socialist fascist and communist trends and argued for currency devaluation and global exchange stabilization as recovery steps. He recently bought a farm near Lisbon and Mount Vernon and called attendees neighbors for mutual benefit.

Senate report on Beh warrants sale drew GOP critique
Des Moines report on a $3.5 million anticipatory warrants sale to Carleton D Beh faced sharp criticism from a Republican minority led by John W Billingsley. The minority charged the inquiry was lightly considered and questioned Attorney General Edward O Connors advice on public advertising and sale authority. The six signatories faulted the main report for omitting pre meeting discussions and noted that the sale price was 5 percent, not the higher 3 to 3.5 percent sought by some. The minority urged fuller disclosure of negotiations and actions by the executive council and Gov Herring.
