Pacific Rural Press: Our Califoc-
MIA colleague on the American Com
mission for the Study of European
Agricultural Cooperation and Rural
Credit. Col. Harris Weinstock of San
Francisco, has carefully prepared a
plan for organization of rural credit
facilities in this country for which
we bespeak earnest consideration. 1t
is as follows:
Killing Mortgages.-The ideal
amortization land mortgage system
for the United States must embody
the following detectives (by amorti-
zation is meant the repayment of a
mortgage in small annual amounts
spread over long terms of years. ::
(a) Perfect safety to the invest
ors in amortization mortgage bonds;
(b) Simplicity;
(c) Directness in dealing with
borrowers;
Id A minimum cost for opera
tions;
(e) Perfect confidence in such
mortgage bonds on the part of the
financial world;
(f) The lowest market rate Of in
terest to the borrower;
(g) The longest possible number
Of years over which to spread repay
ment;
(h) No lessening of initiative on
the part of the borrower; the system
must not be burden to the govern
ment.
Postal Savings Funds Available
The following proposed amortization
land mortgage system closely approx
imates these detectives:
1. That the postal savings bank
laws be amended authorizing the pos
tai savings bank to receive long term
Deposits for such periods as may
hereafter be determined upon, as well
as to continue receiving "call" de-
posits, the "call" deposits to continue
to be dealt with as now provided by
law; the term deposits to bear such
rate of increased interest as may
hereafter be determined, and to De
used in buying amortization mOrtg-
age bonds.
2. Local Credit Associations. -

community or State who desire to
avail thmselves of cheap money on
long-term repayments, they may Or
ganize local credit association with
such membership fee as may be
agreed upon, not to exceed, say $lOO,
which is to be paid into the assOcia-
ton in such installments as may pe
by the members determined; the
credit association to be organized un-
der such rules and regulation and in
accordance with such provisions as
may be established by Congress.
3. That the credit associations
take amortization mortgages on the
lands or properties of the members,
payable in annual installments up 10
say thirty three (33) years, on basis
not to exceed so per cent of it's value.
Such values to be determined by such
expert appraisement as will be sat-
|isfactory to the postal savings bank
department.
A. That the postal savings bank
department be authorized to place in
various parts of the country sums of
money, hereafter to be determined,
taken from it's term deposits, with es.
tablished and reputable banks, said
deposits to be used in the manner set
forth in the next paragraph.
;. That the credit association is
sue guaranteed bonds to cover the
face value of such mortgages as may
be taken by it on the lands Of it's
members. Said bonds to be bought
by said banks having on deposit
moneys transferred by the postal saw
ings bank department to be used for
such purposes. Said bonds to bear the
same rate of interest as may be paid
by the postal savings bank depart
ment to its depositors, plus, say, one
half per cent to cover the cost of pos
tai savings bank administration, plus,
say, per cent as compensation to
said established and reputable banks
for their services, plus the annual
amortization payment.
6. That said land mortgage bonds
when properly endorsed by the local
banks, may be cashed by the postal
savings bank department whenever
local banks may require additional
moneys for the purchase of additional
land mortgage bonds.

BEAU RtAl1O's REVIEW
OF WORK ON the STAGE
(By Beau Rialto)

written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, Sept. g. White
slavery is the keynote of the seasons
melodrama and perhaps it is not
far cry back to black slavery. Hence
the revival of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
It's the power of suggestion again.
Perhaps the power Of suggestion is
no where more potent than in the
show business. Every hit is followed
by hundreds of imitators, just as
surely as a man is followed by his
shadow. Peter lost his shadow, yes,
but by the same token he has never
been initiated, which leaves the rule
unshattered. With our drama slowly
but proftably selling itself into white
slavery, was it any wonder that a
Harlem stock manager thought of
black slavery and revived "Uncle
Toms Cabin?" "The Lure" at Max
inc Eliot's was the forerunner of an
avalanche Of social evil' plays and
here was Mrs. Stoves slave play all
ready for production.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" is so old that
it is rev with lot of folk on Broad
way and off, and such radical de-
|parture from the conventional redlight
drama that it is small wonder that
it's revival has aroused a storm of dis
cussion. 1t was so popular that the
original run allotted to it has been
indefinitely extended. All must agree
that this intensely modern play is a
revolt alike against the false romance
of Barrie and the false realism If
Bernard Shaw. Doubt has no place
in dramatic criticism. Barrie has Of
ten placed his heroes in tree-tops
and such places but he never put his
heroine on ice. Topsy, when she tells
Little Eva that she "jes' growed" de-
molishes with one phrase all the pom
derOus science of eugenics.
