Situation Unfamiliar.

II have not yet examined into the
situation here. however. and am not
prepared to say whether it would be a
good thing for the District or not.
Much will depend upon the expendi-

take over these gas companies, and
the estimates made for the operating
expenses once they had Ieen acquired

There is feeling at the Capitol that
President Wilson may have been con-
suited i'll this matter by the Commits
Sioners before they recommended to the
Senate committee the municipal owner
ship of the gas plants.
Commissioner Newman is considered
particularly close to the President, and
the reports which saw light at the time
of Mr.. Newmans appointment, to the ef-
feet that the President wished Mr.. New

things in municipal government which
they had discussed previous to the ap-
pointment are now recalled.

In the opinion of the commission the

the two systems will naturally touch ~

State Legislation Too Slow.

Although greatly inclined to state LEXIS
iation ON this subject because OF the
different state laws pertaining to tht
recording of deeds and the registration OF
| titles. to taxation of farm land mortgages
deeds of trust, etc. to exemption laws
foreclosure laws and laws pertaining to
conveyancing. the commission felt that
it would take a decade quarter of :
century for the various states to pass
such laws and. Furthermore, felt thai a
progress which seemed to he desirable.
and. therefore. has recommended ma
| tional act.
| Specific legislation on this subject Is
outlined, including bill which provides
1 for bureau OF farm land banks unaer
the direction of a commissioner.
| Provision is made for the formation of
| farm land banks in any state in the Uni
ted States under federal charter and fed
eral inspection of all such institutions The
| details are worked out that any
| group Of farmers may organize Coop
! erative farm land bank with power TO
| issue bonds and thus secure money for
| farm purchase or development from dis
| tant money markets.
| The scheme outlined for farm land
| banks in the United States provides
| for federal charter. but no institution
formed under the law recommended
| will be able to operate I'm more than
| one state. on account of the great va
| riety of state laws.

May Have Outside Agents.

Any institution. however. may ope-
rate in all parts of the state in which
1t is located and may maintain agen-
negotiate loans. and also may main
tain agencies either within or without
the state to dispose of mortgage bonds
issued.
The institutions provided for must dea,
onl, with farmers and are strictly pro-
hibited from doing a city business.
Loans granted to farmers may NOT ex-
ceed - per cent of the value of the. i'm
proved land. and loans may not extend
for a longer period than thirty-five wears
Loans mast be repaid gradually through
the years by small annual instailment
This principle is known as "amortiza-
ton. In order to secure funds the in
sfitutfons are authorized to issue bonds
equal in amount Ia the mortgages retain
cd by the institution. These mortgages
and bonds. and the registers pertaining
TO the same. are kept in the joint posses
sion of "A representative of the farm land
bank. created and of the United States
government, thus thoroughly protecting
investors and farmers alike.
Just as there is now a bureau in the
Treasury Department charged with super
vision OF national banks which do a COM
mercial business, 50. too. bureau is
provided which will be charged with th.
duty Of supervising and inspecting banks
organized to do farm land banking btIsi-
ness. Under the plans of the commission,
no institution may start without a foun-
dation capital. and double liability is pro-
vided for as in the case of national
banks. The amount of long-term land
mortgage business which may be under
taken by any institution may not exceed
fifteen times the amount of paid-up share
capital and surplus.

Norris Champions Plan.

Senator Norris of Nebraska came out
f1at-footed in favor the municipal owner
ship of the gas companies
II believe that the District should own
and operate the gas companies. just as
they should the electric light companies
and the street railways said Senator
Norris. IT have no doubt whatever but
that the people will get gas at less cost
if the municipality ran the gas plants"
Senator Bristow. one of the progressive
reuublicans of the Senate, said that he
was not ready to express an opinion re-
pardine this particular proposition, since
he had not looked into it, but that he was
in favor of the municipal ownership of
water and electric light where it was
possible, and gas also. Municipal owner

Provides for Cooperation.

An important feature OF the report is
provision for cooperative institutions.
In view of the fact that the measure is
principally in the interest OF farmers and
investors and in view of the fact that
the farmers of the United States have
during recent wears rapidly taken UP the
subject of cooperation in all parts of the
country. 1t seemed important that any
system of mortgage credit evolved should
provide specifically for the formation OF
co-operatiye institutions The bill recon-
mended BY the commission is SO con-
structed that il absolutely requires double
liability on the part of the stockholders.
but at the same time authorizes unlimt-
I'd liability, if any group OF farmers de-
sires to form such an institution. The
commission found quite commonly ia
Europe that farmers willingly assumed
unlimited liability
This. however. has not been com
pulsory, but has been adopted by the
farmers because they found IL to their
ON this account the com
mission decided that il would not be
wise absolutely to require unlimited
liability but this is made optional
after a minimum liability has been
definitely established.
In connection with national banks
the recommendation is made that
farmers and others be allowed to es-
tablish these banks based upon CO.
principles

Companies Responsible.

Senator Shafroth said that he believed
the ideal plan for private ownership
and operation Of such industries, but that
th.. corporations had brought the demand
for municipal ownership upon themselves
by their financial operations and by
making the people pay high rates in order
to make it possible for the corporations
to meet interest and dividend charges
II think it Is true that private con-
Germs can operate more cheaply than the
government can operate them said Sen
ator Shafroth. This has been pretty well
proved But I doubt not that the gov
ernrnent. even so. could provide cheaper
gas for the people. for 1t would not nave

other securities.
