Congressman BathrI:k Would
Create a Bureau.
PROPOSES A BOND ISSUE.
Ohio Representatives. Bill Suggests
Government Paying 4 Per Cent For
Raising NeedfuI Money and chargsa
ing Farmers We Per Cent.

Washington.-An original federal
financial scheme was laid before the
house Of representatives for enactment
into law when Representative +. II.
Bathrick of Ohio proposed that the
United States government embark on
the business Of loaning money to farm
ers Oh mortgages on their lands. The
Batlrick idea is radically different
from the agricultural credit plan of
Ambassador Myron 4. Herrick. which
President Taft brought to the attention
Of Il score of state governors in a re-
cent conference ut the White. House.
Mr.. Herrick proposed that the state
governments and ultimately the fed
era government enact legislation to
encourage and enable the farmers to
form rural credit associations which
would lend money to the farmers. but
his scheme does not contemplate that
the nation or the states go into the
business of lending money to farmers.
Representative Bathrick is in ac-
cord with the purpose of the Herrick
rural credit plan, but does not believe
the problem will be solved through the
f0rmati of rural credit associations.
At one stroke he thinks the federal
government should go into the business
of lending money direct to the farmers,
not on second mortgages. but on the
unencumbered land Of the farmers. to
be mortgaged to the government as Sc
curity. The government would charge

the farmer interest ut the rate of Az
per cent and would issue per cent
bonds for the purpose Of obtaining
the money to be loaned,
The Bathrick idea Is embodied in
bill, which he introduced. providing
for the creation of bureau Of farm
loans by the United States government
to loan money to bona fide tillers of
the soil, taking as security for said
loans farm mortgages
Under the Bathrick bill the secretary
of the treasury would be authorized
and directed to prescribe forms. pro-
cedure and regulations for the conduct
Of the business Of the bureau OF farm
loans, to borrow money from time to
time Oh the credit Of the United States
in whatever sums are required to make
the said loans and to prepare and issue
coupon or registered bonds of the Unit
ed States. bearing not in excess of 4
per cent interest. payable annually and
redeemaDle as he may prescribe. pro
vided that the total sum due upon said
farm loans annually shall bear as close
relation as possible to the total sum OF
the redeemable bonds and interest pay
able thereon and that no loans shall
be made except to those actually en-
gagged in farming nor upon farm lands
which have not ut least one-half Of the
acreage under cultivation"
1t is further provided by the Bath
rick bill that Whenever the commits

ascertained that the value Of the farm

and that the applicant or applicants
