RURAL BANKING SYSTEM

Washington, Aug "A national
rural banking system was proposed
in a bill today by Senator Fletcher,
cha rman of the American commits
sion on rural credits and also of the
federal commission on rural credits,
appointed by the president.
The bill proposes a system of local
national rural banks owned and OPP
Grated by farmers; rural national
bank n each state to be owned and
controlled by the local banks as
stockholders and the national rural
bank of the United States to be To-
Gated in Washington to be owned en-
tirely by the state rural banks.
To supervise the proposed chain
of banks there would be created in
the treasury department divis on
OF rural banking under the direction
of rural banking board" to con-
sist of the secretaries of the treas
ury agriculture and labor The
div sion would be under the immedi-
ate direction of a director of rural
banking" to be appointed by Tie
president
The main purpose of the banks
would be to furnish funds to farm
ers on long-term farm bonds or
notes, secured by liens on farms at
not exceeding so per cent of their
/ assessed value. Loans would be SC
cured first by local bank, then by
state bank and last by the national
rural bank of the United States, and
they would run from 20 to so years.
The national rural bank is de-
signed to have a capital and surplus
exceeding $1O0,0OO,00O. while the
stock of each local bank would be
limited to s2,000,OOO.
Senator Fletcher, speaking in the
sell ate today TO urge immediate con-
sideration Of the measure by the
banking committee and its PASSAGE
a, the special session of congress, e6-
tpressed approval of the administra-
ton currency bill as a commercial
banking bill, but said 1t would not
meet the needs of the agricultural
communities because of the neces-
.sity for long-term loans.
