to himself, is given the benefit of
loans from his society on long time
and easy terms, and, at the same
time, is permitted to share in his So
cietys profits.
The loan societies are of two
classes-the loan savings associa-
tions and the societies of small
credit. They are both cooperative,
and the aim Of each is to lend small
amounts to the farmers through gov
ernmental assistance.
The difference between the two
classes of societies is that the mem
bers of the loan savings associations
are obliged to make deposits Of a
small amount in order to form a re-
serve capital for their society, while
members of the societies of. small
credit do not participate personally
in the formation of their society's
capital. The latter societies are
adapted to the poorer and more
sparsely settled communities
When group of twenty or more
individuals wishes to form a CO.
operative loan society a petition to
that effect is presented to the Gov
eminent. A Government inspector
then makes a personal investigation
of the responsibility of the signers
of the petition and of the value of
their land.
Upon his recommendation the Gov
eminent grants the society a loan of
one to three thousand rubles $500
to $1,000 for a period of thirteen
years, at an interest rate of 5 per
cent, payable annually. This loan
serves as the foundation capital of
the society. For it's working capital
the State Bank is authorized by the
Government to lend money to the So
c1ety upon application.
The State Bank loan is at the same
rate of interest as the Government
loan. e., per cent-but is made
Tor a short time only, usually for
twelve months. Besides the founda-
ton capital from the Government
and the loans from the State Bank,
the societies may obtain other loans
from banks or individuals, usually at
from to 10 per cent interest. Saw
1ngs deposits are received by the So
cieties.
The average society begins bust
ness with a total capital-that is
both foundation and working capt.
tal-of from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
is then in position to make loans
to its members, who are responsible
to the society.
Loans to members usually bear an
interest rate of 8 per cent to ~
per cent.-New York American.
