Own home. No matter how small, no
matter how modest, no matter if you have
to run In debt for it. 1t pays you in the
long run. 1t cheers and encourages you
every day; it makes you feel more like
man, makes you better citizen, adds to
the valuation of your property and gives
stimulus that nothing else can give. Go
into town where a majority own the
house they live in. and then go into town
composed of class who cannot buy per-
manent home. Note the difference. In
the first instance you see neat houses that
vary in design, and all around are little
evidences that show plainly that the peo-
pie who live there have an interest be-
sides seeing that the rent is paid.
Save a little of your monthly earnings.
They will never come amiss. In case of
sickness or accident or other contingency
a few dollars will come in very handy. An
association, managed by local people, never
goes wrong because the money is loaned
on first mortgage on local property which
the stockholders see every day and know
it's value. The interest is large for both
the investor and borrower and you can get
your money at any time.

From the New York Sun, Sept. II.
1912:
Prosperity for the United States and
its insular possessions was predicted
by many returning passengers on the
Kronprinz Wilhelm of the North Ger
man Lloyd line. Among the most OPP
timistic was Julius Kruttschnitt, vice
president of the Hartman railroad
lines.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt bases his roseate
predictions on the reports he received
through the newspapers and from the
officials of the Hartman system. He
thinks that the prosperity wave will
extend throughout the country.
Among those who are confidently
looking for good times is Otto Kahn Of
the firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who
sailed for Europe on the Mauretania
this morning. In discussing business
conditions throughout the country Mr..
Kahn declared the big crops of this
year indicated revival of prosperity
and increased business.
But Mr. Kahn was careful to point
out that there was danger to business
from politics and unsettling legisla-
ton. He said in part:
when any one tells you, as many
are saying, that the business revival
Is going on regardless of politics, you
can laugh at him." he said. 1T will
not. It is true that the country is all
ready for the great prosperity. The
crops are wonderful, the greatest we
have seen. Business is running smooth.

capacity, labor is well employed. The

Hon. j. S. Mccullough, Auditor of Pub

1911, says:
That building, loan and homestead as
sociations have been of great economic val
ue to the people of our state is recognized
by all who are conversant with the subject.
The benefit derived through increasing the
number of home owners and by enlarging
the opportunities of the provident to ac-
cumulate savings cannot be measured in
figures. Ownership of property, be it much
or little, tends to quicken an interest in
public affairs and thus to diminish oppor-
tunities for doing evil by the miseducated,
ndolent, and depraved. The fact that one
is on the assessment roll tends to that con-
servatism and independence so essentially
necessary to the well-being of the govern
ment, and especially is this true of gov
eminent whose citizens are vested with
such wide powers in matters of legislat-
ion and administration.

An examination of said statements and

the associations have become substantial
part of the assets Of the people of Kansas.
The benefits of su.h associations are well
known. No better scheme mas ever been
devised for small systematic saving and in
aiding people of small means to acquire
homes than the legitimate building and
loan associations. These institutions de-
serve every encouragement possible, as
they are doing an important work in in
oreasing the prosperity and happiness of
our people.
But in calling your attention to these
associations and to the benefits which they
produce l must qualify my statements by
referring to the fact that in Kansas, as
well as elsewhere, two conflicting purposes
have been prevalent in the organization
and operation of these associations. In con-
sidering the benefits of these associations
in the upbuilding of community or a
state it must be distinctly borne in mind

Hon. VIM. H. O'Brien, Auditor of State

Building and loan associations In their
very nature are i-philanthropic and
have two-fold purpose-to encourage the
saving of money and to promote the owner
ship of homes They are the most econ
omically conducted financial institutions in
the world and they enable the great mas
ses of the people to acquire homes by small
savings from week to week and month to
month. Such associations are the greatest
known factors for the making of conten-
ted and law-abiding citizens and taxpayers.
The members of these institutions, the
community and the State, will reap mani
fold benefits from their organization. en-

MONTANA.
Hon. G. E. Kumpe, State Examiner of
Montana, in his 18th annual report says:
The work of this class of mutual savings
society is not appreciated at it's full value
in this state. There is no corporation that
tends to upbuild city as does building
and loan association, which encourages
those of small capital to build and own
their own homes, and makes them perman-
ent residents.
OF late several foreign companies have
engaged in the business of soliciting month
ly payments, promising lonas at future
date. These companies do not come under
the supervision of the State Examiner, &C
cording to an opinion of the Attorney Cen
eral 1t is evident that the small savings
should be as carefully protected as the
larger amounts 1t is therefore my sug-
gestion that legislative action shall either
entirely forbid such companies doing bust
ness in this State, or regulate the same in
such manner as the regular building and
loan associations

of Montana.)
