HERE is SYNOPSIS
OF THE GARDNER
LAND BANK PLAN

ID ~ Az NAE0Nh6&H
The action of the House last
week in sending to engross-
ment the Land Bank bill, as pre-
pared by Col. Fred Gardner of st.
Louis, has created a demand for
a fuller explanation Of the plan,
and the following has been pre-
pared for the readers of this pa
per by one familiar with the bill.
The bank is created for the
purpose of furnishing cheaper
and longer time loans to farmers,
following the lead of European
countries which years ago saw
the necessity of such action. The
Missouri bank would be manag-
ed by the state banking depart
ment, and all its business would
be transacted by state officials
without the creation of new Of
fices, aside from possibly four
appraisers and an additional
clerk or two in the office.
The bank would have a work
ing capital of $1,OOO,O 900, appro-
priated by the state and which
would be paid back when the
bank had created for itself a
working capital of that amount.
All loans would be on farm land
at half its appraised value, notes
and mortgages being taken and
d%ebenture bonds bearing 4.3 per
cent interest issued against these
mortgages. The farmer could get
loans ranging in time from 5 to
% years, with the privilege of
1aying off at any interest pay
day. He'would make semi-annual
Payments that would take care
of the interest, principal and re-
serve fund, and these payments
would be as follows for each
500:
5 year loan. .$22.4O a year
10 year loan. 1910 a year
Is year loan. go a year
20 year loan. 7.5O a year
rs year loan. $50 a year
This is the Amortization"
plan, which means that the far
mer is paying the principal right
along with the interest and that
when he makes the last payment
he will have l~iquidated the prin-
.cipal as we'll.
If he borrows $1,000 for 25
years, he pays $65 a year, or a
total of $1,625. In the present
system, if he pays 619 per cent
for his money, he has made a
total payment of the same
amount, plus the frequent renew
al charges-usually every five
years and then has the $1,000
principal left to pay.
The plan, however, is practical
and has been tried out entirely to
the satisfaction of borrower and
lender. The latter gets bonds
that are safe, run for a long time
and are negotiable, and, in coun-
tries where the land banks have
Aourished for years, there al
ways is a ready sale for the
bonds.
The state stands to make no
profit off the transaction, and
there are no salaries nor divi-
dends to pay. All state officials,
down to the prosecuting attor-
neys and sheriffs, serve the bank
without extra pay.
The 619 per cent on the 25-year
loans is divided as follows: In
terest, 4.3 per cent for the re-
serve fund, out of which the ex-
penses are paid and which is to
make up, finally, the working
capital of the bank, p per cent
to apply on the principal, IL per
cent.
AS soon as the bank is estab-
lished, it will begin loaning mon
ey, and when the loans amount
to $500, 900, an issue of bonds
will be made. These bonds will

Seniors at Yale
Spent $I,O79,M
Biz Difference in Expenses of
Richest and Poorest
Students.

NEW HAVEN, April lS,-The members
OF the Yale class of 1915 will get their
diplomas In June at tota! cost OF
Sl,O79,lll, according TO the expense ac-
counts of the men who gave the figures
in their personal statistics TO be pub
lished In the Yole Ne,cs tomorrow.
The figures show the great differences
in the financial resources Of the men
who come 10 Yale and testify to the
continued existence OF democracy at
Yale. In freshman year. the most en-
pensive, tho most af'iuent man spent
$4,000, while the most frugal got his
education for cash outlay OF $500.
Perhaps due to parental conferences
over freshman years expense accounts
or 10 the financial depression, the rich
est man in sophomore year spent but
$500, while the poorest man spent $500
cash. The average for the year was
sl.O76 a man. Last year the average
expenses a man were sl,l0s. individual
expenses varying from $4,000 to 5000.
This year the Richest man expects to
spend a total OF $500 and the poorest
man $3.50.

LoSpos. April ls.--There is no like
lihood II Great Britain making any
reply TO or considering the sugges-
lions Of Dr. Dernburg az to what
Germany would consider in the way Of
peace terms.
DIR. DernburR is not recognized as
the mouthpiece of official Germany
and it Is extremely Questionable what
authority. r any. he has for putting
out his suggestions. IT. however. only
needs reference 10 the speeches of
Premier Asquith and Sir Edward Grey
to demonstrate what England's atti-
tude would he If such suggestions as
Those Of DR.. Dernburg were officially
put forward by Germany.
Premier Asquith and Foreign Sec
rotary Grey have reiterated the de-
TO drive Germany out OF Belgium and
to restore that country to it's rightful
possessors.
With such determination pri-
marty dominating England it can be
definitely and ins.stently stated that
Il is ridiculous for Germany TO put
forward her future attitude toward
Belgium as the basis for bargaining
The English viewpoint is that the
only bargaining England will have
with Germany in regard to Belgium
is at the cannon's mouth and will
continue so until the last OF the in
vaders are driven from the country.
To free Belgium Is a promise re-
garded as sacred by England. It ls
doubtful IL any English statesmen
would dare to suggest anything less
complete than the evacuation of Bel
GUM and reparation TO that country
by Germany.
