INTEREST RATES ARE ADVACED
BOND HOUSES ARE cURTAlLINo
GREATLY THEIR PURCHASES.
Farmers Buying Land-Mortsases
Driven Out of the State by the
New Tax Law, Says Her
bert Crosby.

Topeka.-On account OF the strong
demand for money. interest rates are
advancing materially in Kansas. This
applies generally to commercial paper,
and especially to bonds and mort
cages.
Bond houses are greatly curtailing
their purchases OF bonds" said Super
intendent Fairchild, member of the
bond buying board for the state
school fund. For some reason they
are holding down their investments 10
the very limit And the bonds they do
buy must bear a better rate Of inter
est. Some time ago, for instance,
they were grabbing bonds eagerly aI
per cent Now they won't touch
anything under 5, and in most cases
are demanding IL to 6. AS result
the offerings to the school fund are
very heavy at this time. Or rather the
clamor for the school fund to take
bonds is greater now than in recent
years"
Some of the big loan companies, es-
peciall ythe life insurance concerns.
have almost withdrawn from the mar
ket for bonds and mortgages.
"One big insurance company that l
have been making loans for has called
halt" said Herbert Crosby of Wich-
ita. 1T has applications for $l5,00O,-
900 worth of loans still pending and
doesn't care to take on any more wniIe
the money market Is so tight.
Farmers are trying to borrow a lot
of money. They want to purchase
more land. They can pay even the
increased rate of interest on mort
cages and still make big money. The
increase of the farm values more than
equals the interest Of their mort
cages, not counting the profits from
their crops at all"
This new tax law is driving mort
cages out of Kansas by the wholesale"
observed Crosby Kansas mortgage
holders are compelled to return their
mortgages for taxation now. This
cuts down their profits from l IL TO
per cent, and mortgages are being IN
loaded and the money invested in real
estate where the assessment is not up
to cash value, Notwithstanding the law
to the contrary
"a mortgage must be returned at
it's actual value. There is no way out
of it. But a piece of real estate can
be returned for 60 or Is per cent Of
its value. Most of the Kansas mort
cages held outside of the state are not
taxed at all. That's why they are now
being sold to outside parties and per-
haps it is due in measure to the
market being flooded with Kansas
securities. 1t is unfortunate that sucn
securities are all going out of the
state, for it means that million or
two dollars must go out each year to
meet interest. If the securities were
held at home the interest would stay
In the state"
