Lewis Farm Loan Bill Clears House With 3 to 1 Vote
The House passed the Lewis bill allowing national banks to make twelve month loans on unincumbered farm land up to 25 percent of capital. Hepburn led critics arguing it shifts surplus to New York for speculation, while Hill warned real estate as collateral risks small banks. The measure, restricting collateral to unincumbered farms, follows debate on safer bank practices.

Relief plan for Jews in Russia debated
In St. Petersburg on December 5 the ministerial proposals to abolish certain Jewish disabilities were submitted to the Emperor. Prospects for enactment remain vague as police statistics show many Jewish political offenders. The Novoe Vremya questions why Jews should be rewarded and says they should be treated as aliens. Still, Gurko scandal could indirectly aid concessions by discrediting reactionaries.
