Official Paper Of City and County
Cheap Money for Farmers.

NuC0p QQV0Vy AVA = % @SASs
The Democratic national platform
contains . recommendation for investi
cation of loan associations established
abroad for the farmers benefit.
Through these associations the farm
er borrows money more cheaply than
he is able to get it from banks or loan
agents.
Golfers Weekly in an editorial dis
cussion of the Landschaften Associa-
ton of Germany, which makes loans
to the farmer members at rates which
vary from 8 to d per cent, plus charge
for ultimate repayment of one-eigbt OF
one per cent and one.tenth of one per
cent. to meet administration cost, an
nounces the opinion that
'In the United States similar asso.
Citations of farmers can be organized
which will guarantee the repayment of
loans made to members. If 200 farm
ers, needing to borrow money and liv-
ing fairly close together, should meet
and work out some plain rules as to
the amount and character of loans
made, then the banker could safely
recommend this form of security to
investors. 1t would be discovered that

upon him that money ought not to be
borrowed unless it can be used to in
crease the value and the productive
capacity of the Independently,
These details would be looked after by
the association. Every six months
the association would find out how
much money was needed to meet all
legitimate demands for loans to men,
bers. Then bonds to that amount
would be issued and sent to the banker.
Promptly the banker would buy the is
sue and begin tn sell them to investors.
No form of security is intrinsically
soundcr than farm lands. As farming
methods are bettered in this country
this security will become sounder.
There is no logical reason why Penn
sylvania farmer should pay 81 per cent
for money when the citizens Lancaster
or Pittsburg or Philadelphia can bor-
row money for 8. IS per cent. Nor for
the farmer of Kansas to pay per
cent when Topeka school district bonds
are selling on per cent basis. All
that is needed is the organization of
farm borrowers into some responsible
body"
