FAKE LOAN SCHEMES

Z A warning has been issued BY
the department of agriculture
against ''cheap loan" schemes that
are being promoted to take advan-
tage II public interest in rural
credit. Clever arguments have been
set forth in attractive literature,
explaining how the companies can
lend you money on good security at
three per cent interest and allow
you to repay the loan on the amor
tixation plan in monthly INSTALL
ments. They are careful to get You
to sign the application for the loan
and q contract covering the terms.
Under this contract you begin to
pay off the debt by instaliments Of
say, ten dollars a month on a thou
sand dollar loan.
The trick Is to delay payment OF
the total amount of your loan BY
various excuses until the company
has accumulated this sum from
monthly payments on large num-
Der Of applications. In other words
they are merely collecting monthly
payments and making as few loans
as possible. The only way they
can succeed is by having an increase
of applications in such ratio that ter
times as many new ones are com
ling in as loans are actually being
paid.
Every loan scheme should d

Topeka & Santa Fe system, that all
railroads in the United States be

under the present system one
branch of the federal government
fixes railroad rates, another fixes
labor costs by compelling arbitra-

many different state bodies make
regulations regarding service. These
various governmental agencies
should be consolidated, he said.
