Farm Mortgage
Debts are Fixed
at Ten Billions
Gray Silver, of West Virginia, Pro
poses Plan of Relieving Them
Within a Generation.
Chicago. 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

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.

j boy and hi3 seven year old sister
broke into a Bloomsburg bank, police
said, and took two sacks containing
small sums of money. The children
were found later by an older sister

er for appearance before a justice of
the peace. The children entered the
Bloomsburg bank - Columbia Trust

a small window, opening from a wash
room, police said. From there they !
proceeded to the banking room and
pickeel up two sacks of money that
a bank employe had obtained at a

The children then climbed out of the

covered they were missing from their
home.

two dollars, she said, and then under
