"Money cannot be borrowed for a
term less than five years or longer
than forty years, the Idea being to
make long-term loans. If a farmer
wants money for less than Ave years
he will have to look elsewhere for
the loan."
The plan of payment provides for
the puylng of the Interest plus a cer
tain per cent each year on the un
paid portion of the loan, l'rof. Pugs
ley used the following example: If
the loan was secured for a 33-yenr
period at 6 per cent then 1 per rcn
would be added requiring the bor
rower to pay 6 per cent -each ypar
for 33 years and at the end of 33
years he will have paid not only the
Interest hut also the prlnclpnl.or the
loan, and will be free from debt with
out, as far as he Is concerned, pay
ing more than the Interest. 'Pay
ments of any sum will bo accepted
after five years. Should the bor
rower die the mortpapo becomes due
and may either be paid up by the
heirs or assumed by them.
Itonri SoM to Cover Mortgages
Th" mortrnpen come In to the
land bunk and the bank then Issues
and rrlls bond to the amount of the
mortrnge. These bonds will sell nt
n low rate because they are free
from every sort of taxation. Includ
ing the Income tnx, and bemuse they
are secured by a mortgage of fjo ier
cent of the actual valuation of the
land and 20 per cent of the actual
valuation of the buildings, and also
because the bonds of any one bank
are also guaranteed by the other
eleven banks.
The Interest on mortgages to the
land banks cannot exceed 6 per cent
at the most, although a percentage
more may be added to cover the pay
ments. It Is believed that under this
system farmers can get money at
from 4 to 5 per cent.
For each flOO borrowed the farm
er Is required to purchase one share
of stock In the federal land bank,
th same costing $5 per share. When
the debt Is paid the farmer automat
ically re-sells his stock to the bank
and receives his $! with the Interest
accumulation. The stock may be
purchased for cash at the time of the
securing of the loan or may be de
ducted from the total of the loan at
the option of the borrower.
On each share of stock each mem
ber ts liable for the $fi paid In, plus
R per cent, and not one cent more.
This is the same rystem used In the
national banks. There la hardly a
possibility under the system that a
member would be called upon for his
I responsibility, little as It Is. If a
! member fails to pay his Interest, for
j two years his loan Is subject to fore
, closure.
j Prof. PiiRsley was n member of
the federal commission which was
sent to Kuropo to Investigate the
land banks there and report to the
United States government. It was
largely through the findings of this
commission that the bill was passed.
F. M. Seidell, county agent, has
the necessary Information for the
forming of the farmers' associations
and all Interested should apply to
him and the Information will he
forthcoming immediately.

Charles K. Hughes has raised the

Western audiences because the Im

chairmanship from the South." replies
Congressman James II. Aswell In his
speech reported In the Congressional

blind. Ignorant partisanship?" he
asks.
"Let the people decide," he suggest,
"whether the following great measures
enacted by this so-called South-controlled
Congress are sectional or na
tional :
"The Underwood Tariff Law, Just

privileged class, followed by a non
partisan tariff commission removing
the tnrlff question from politics.
"The Income Tax Law, causing the
rich to pay their just proportion of the
expenses of the Government.
"The Rural Credits Law, the first
legislation solely for the farmers.
"The establishment of rural routes,
the extension of the parcel post, mid
