Spragins' Amendment

Senator R. E. Spragins of Huntsville offered a suggestion to Mir. Hardings | plan of central loan company, which, | although not adopted was received very | favorably and will be so reported at | the next meeting of the committee The senator's plan was to have any num- Der of small loan agencies in the farm | ing districts of Alabama operated by | local men who would be cognizant of | the farm values they would loan money | on. The mortgages thus made by these | local agencies would later be taken up | by the central trust company which would in reality be the clearing house of the smaller loan companies.
 The plan of Mr. Harding for the form ation and workings of his $1,000 900 central mortgage and loan company were explained at length by himself | This talk and the plan off Senator Spragins were thoroughly gone over by the committee, who considered evai V detail of the plans proposed, and while nothing definite was arranged, it is like l ly that MT, Harding's farmers trust plan, supplemented by Senator Sprag- ins amendment will finally be adopt ed by the executive committee of the | land congress
 There are several legal problems con cerning taxation as 1t applies to the borrower and, the bank to be looked
 into before the plans are finally adopt | ed, it was said. The taxation problem
 Is vexatious one, as it will require cap
 state tax, as it applies to banking cap
 ital removed. According to President
 Thompson, individuals can borrow or
 l lend and not be subject to the dual | tax of paying on the mortgage and
 on the capital; and the executive com mittee intends to present the view that
 banking corporations should stand on l the same foundation
