Retirement of the farm mortgage debt of the United States, estimated by him at more than 10 billion dollars, within one generation was proposed by Gray Silver of Mar tinsburg, W. Va., by refinancing and ler.iganizing the federal farm loan system. Silver's plan, he said, would save COO millions a year to the farm ers of the nation. Interest charges facing mortgaged farmers now average more than 7 I . 1 1 ent. Silver's program would re dvee this to 4 percent, including the cost of interest, amortization and in surance upon the individual farmer. "One of our biggest national prob- lenis," he said, "is to arrange forjtents were do.troyed by a fire of un payment of mortgages on farms. Like 1 known origin Sunday with a loss es governmental debts, farm obligations j timated at $13,000. Two motor must be paid. Arrangements must trucks, 1.S00 egg cases and some poul bc made to prevent further foreclos- j try were part of the loss, uro;. Unlike business firms, farmers The fire was discovered about 9:30 cannot go into receivership and con- a. m. in a storage room in the rear tinue operations. It is generally re-1 of the building. The building was cognized that prosperity cannot re turn until our farmers are relieved of th, mortgage burden hanging over them." A former democratic lieutenant ernor of West Virginia. Silver is a prominent farmer and agricultural economist in the eantern apple re gion, lie was the first Washington ropreaentatlve of the farm bureau and is president of several co-operative organizations at Martinsburg. He believes that by reorganizing federal agenc;es dealing with rural credits, bonds based on farm prop erty can be made as safe and at tractive as government securities. Like feeleral issues, he said, bonds cf the federal farm loan system eouhl be fold on a 2 percent interest basis. n addition to the 2 percent inter-jin est. farmers, amortization in retiring the principal of mortgages and an additional 1 percent, making a 4 percent total, for insurance upon the farmer as protection on the loan. Considerable saving is proposed by buying mortgages at less than par when refinancing is started. His plan. Silver said, has been submit ted to a number of economists, finan ciers and politicians, who have ap proved it. President-elect Roosevelt m his St. Louis speech advocated re - , ar.cincr of farm liiortsatrps The suggested insurance upon the mortgaged farmer would either be carried as a group policy by a pri vate company or by a mutual organ ization sponsored by the land bank system. The insurance feature is design- I both for the investor and the farm- er. and insure liquidation of the debt within the one generation period. State Journal.
