Mortgage System in use by Italian

Bank.
Florence, Italy, June 6.-At the be-
ginning Of it's investigation Of COOP
erative banking societies, the Ameri-
can commission on agricultural CO.
operation, assembled by the Southern
Commercial congress, has had the ad-
vantageous experience of first visiting
part Of Europe where cooperative
banks have not made much headway.
Agricultural cooperation is prac-
ticed in only one form in the coun-
try about Florence-cooperati So
cieties for the purchase of agricultur-
al machinery, fertilizer, seeds, etc.
This Is chiefly due to the fact that In
the early days the merchants of Flor
ence were landowners and their es-
tates were farmed on share basis
by the peasants, the lanlords furnish
ing the house, cattle, machinery, fer
tilizers and seed and the farmers
furnishing the work. The merchants
were able to finance their farms
through their banks in Florence and
the farmers themselves had no need
Of credit. If crops were bad the land
lord furnished food for the peasant
farmer until the next harvest. This
system OF land tenure still prevails
and studyof the systems near Flor
ence has shown the commission that
cooperative credit institutions are

Banks Might Serve.

Comparing Italian conditions with
American, one of the Florentine ex-
perts who appeared before the COM
mission suggested that in the United
states the solution of the problem
OF farm finance, so far as money for
Operating the farms Is concerned,
might be found in an enlargement
OF the operations of existing banks.
Slgnor Martelli, president Of the
Savings Bank of Florence, described
a practice common with banks about
Florence, where by the farmer gives
mortgage to the bank and receives
in return open account for a certain
amount of credit. Thus farmer who
considers that he needs credit of
$4,000 to operate his farm gives a
mortgage for that amount to the
bank. But he does not draw out The
entire $4,000 at one time. AS he
needs money he draws on the bank.
If he wants $500, he draws only that
amount. He pays interest only on
the amount which he borrowed from
the bank. In this way the farmer
can secure credit for any amount
of money, always readily available,
and has to pay interest only on the
amount which he actually uses.
For the long time loans of the
farmers, the savings banks are al
lowed to invest up to 80 per cent Of

The cooperative societies for pur-
chase among the landowners have
ben successful. The farmers them
selves do not belong to these societies
but the landowners do all purchasing

their deposits in farm mortgages.
These mortgages are OF two classes
those for periods up to ten years and
those for periods of from ten to thir-
ty years. The shorter term mortgage
loans are repaid by the borrowers
States, but the longer term loans are
repaid by amortization-that is, small
annual payments made upon the prin-
cipal Of the loan. The banks are only
permitted to charge borrowers one
half per cent more than they are re-
quired to pay depositors. At the pres
ent time the prevalent rate is 5 per
cent, though generally it is A per
cent. Money is only loaned up to so
per cent Of the appraised value of
the land, although the banks accept
second or third mortgages so long as
the total amount of mortgage ndebe-
edness does not exceed the so per
cent.

LEADS MAN HUNT
Elusive Assyrian Jewelry Ped

Seek" With Bluecoat.

For two hours yesterday afternoon
Officer Dennis Mccarthy played hide
and go seek with couple of Assyr-
ian peddlers, who frustrated all efforts
TO apprehend them with almost I'M
canny effectiveness. 1t was only af-
ter the entire west end of town had
been invaded with a fine tooth comb,
that the illegitimate statesmen of near
jewelry were nailed to the mast, fig
uratively speaking, and incarcerated
in the city dungeon keep. This morn
ing both men, Joseph and r. 3pire,
plead guilty to a charge of peddling
without license and paid fines of So
and costs each.
The Brothers Spire were doing a
thriving business in the west end,
when the police were notified of their
activities, and Mccarthy detailed on
the case. One of the miscreants was
apprehended without much difficulty
but Joseph refused to be located. AT
ter two hours of hunting, he was dis
covered in an old shed, crouching be
! hind the door.
