TO THE EDITOR OF THE
MONITOR:
Replying to your letter of
April 9th. making inquiry as to
the financial condition of Jeffer-
son County, and whether or not
the county is out of debt, as has
been stated by some of our coun-
ty officials and their party organs.
| will say Absolutely No the
county is not out of debt.
From the latest semi.annual
statements, which come from the
offices of the County Clerk and
County Treasurer for the six
months ending December 81,
1915, we CLEAN the following:
Outstanding warrant
indebtedness go. SIT, 1926. 80
County Indebtedness
other than warrant 25, 977. 81
Total county indebted
ness Dec. 81, 1915 $43, 304.71
This latter amount ($25, ST. 81
is money borrowed from various
funds. principally school funds,
and used temporarily by the
County Treasurer to pay county
warrants, but is not county mon
ey, and has to be replaced later on
from county funds when called
upon. This procedure has been
in vogue more or less under every
County Treasurer 1oI u number
of years past, and is done to save
interest, the county benefttlng
to the extent of four per cent.
being the difference in interes, ,
paid on registered county war
rants (six per cent? and the two
per cent received from banks on
county deposits.
At this time of year, when the
bulk of the taxes are paid, and
the bulk of the county expendi-
lures for the year are vet to be
met. there is always more cash
on hand than at any other time,
and if a County Treasurer
chooses to divert enough money
from other funds, he can any
year at this time pay off the
WARRANT Indebtedness, but
that does not mean that the
county is out of debt. Taking
$25. 600 or any other amount out
of one pocket and putting it in
another does not enrich an indi-
vidual, nor does 1t a county. and
former county officials were loath
to exploit any such methods
merely for personal or partisan
advantage.
1t sounds well to the unthink-
ing to say that the county war
rant Indebtedness is lessened or
is paid off, but that is only tell
ing half the truth, as most OF the
politico- financial statements do,
and, consciously or unconscious
ly, a wrong idea of the county's
financial condition is given to the
public in this way. for how is the
public to be correctly informed on
these matters if it cannot accept
the accuracy of statements, ver-
bal or otherwise. given out by
those who should know better.
The average county revenue
and the average county eXpendi-
ture do not vary greatly from
year to year. the one oifsetting
the other. and consequently there
is very little change in the county
debt at the end of each year, as
the audits Of the county books
have shown and will show. The
only way the county indebted
ness can be wiped out or materi-
ally lessened is By special levy to
pay it off. and the State Audi
tors report of a year ago made
this recommendation. 1t said

Ex.Treasurer Baker
Backs us Up

The following letter to the Morri-
son Monitor from the ex-County
Treasurer supports the claim made
by the Enterprise and proves that
the Arvada sun and the Golden
Globe and their political hackers
have been trapped in a wilful at
tempt to d ceive the people for pure
ly policnl and campaign purposes.

prospective borrowers. Each farmer
pays his share according to the
amount of his loan. For example. II
one member wants to borrow $500
and another wants to borrow $1,000,
the first one has to pay $25 and the
second one $50. The subscription
price of $1,000 for the land bank
stock is provided in this way.
If for any reason, however. any or
all of the loans should not be grant
ed b. the land bank, the money paid
in advance on account of stock sub
scriptions would be refunded. But
the cash need not be sent in advance
with the subscription made by the
secretary-treasurer When the loans
are granted by the land bank. the
amount of the subscription to the
stock may be deducted from the total
amount of the loans. In such case
the balance is forwarded to the sec
retary-treasurer of the association.
That is, if the loans total $4,000,
the secretary-treasurer would receive
1000. He would then pay over
to the farmer who asked for a $500
loan the sum of $475. and to him
who wanted $1,000 the sum of $3.50.
That is to say. five per cent of each
farmers loan would be deducted to
halp pay for the associations sub
scription for stock of the land bank:
but, If the stock subscription of five
per cent is raised in cash, the whole
amount of the loans would be remit
ted.
Now. let the farmer members UNI
derstand this, that the association
and not they is the owner of the
stock in the federal land bank. and
this plan is adopted that the associa-
tions may ultimately become the sole
owners of the federal land banks.
This stock is held by the land bank
as part security for the loans granted
to the association. This plan makes
the borrowers indirectly part owners
of the land banks with the govern
ment from the beginning, and
through these cooperative organiza-
tions provides the method whereby
they ultimately become the exclusive
owners.
The profits of the land banks go
to the associations. The stock held
by the government draws no divi-
dends, but earnings will be divided
on the stock owned by the associa-
tions. Thus all profits of the land
banks, after the government has
withdrawn it's holdings of stock, will
go to the associations, who will ulti-
mately become the owners of all the
federal land banks in the United
States. The law provides for the
gradual withdrawal of government
holdings in the land banks, leaving
the whole field open to the farmers
themselves through their national
farm loan associations. The import

Benefits to Farmers

In this way the farmers Themselves
become the owners and directors of
the national farm loan associations.
They become investors as we'll as
borrowers. The government has not
only made the way easy, but it helps
the farmers to reap the benefits of
the profits derived from their own
united efforts of borrowing.
But more than this. BY becoming
subscribers to the capital stock of
the federal land bank of their dis
trict, which the associations have to
do when applications for loans are
made, the farmer mem bers of the
national farm loan associations will
ultimately become the owners of the
land banks also, for the government
will gradually withdraw it's stock
holdings from the federal land banks
and leave their ownership with all
their profits entirely in the hands of
the farmers themselves.
Here, then, is a great opportunity
open to all farm owners in the Unit
ed States. The power lies within their
hands to extend the benefits of this
system into every rural community
at practically no loss of time and at
little expense. There is no reason
why a national farm loan association
should not be established in every
rural district. The government has
placed it's money and it's moral sup
port at the command of our farmers.
But they must get behind this system

this officer. That is why he is al
lowed a small salary.
The federal land bank which re-
ceives the application for loans and
other papers from the association
then sends an appraiser to examine
the land and the financial CONDITION
of the proposed borrowers. If these
conditions are found satisfactory, the
land bank forwards the papers to the
Federal Farm Loan Board with their
recommendation. On approval by
the Federal Farm Loan Board, a
charter is granted to the applicants
to do business in their district, the
charter being forwarded 20 the asso-
citation by the Federal land bank.
When the charter has been grant
ed, the association can borrow money
of the land bank. The mortgages are
then prepared and delivered to the
secretary-traesurer, who forwards
them to the federal land bank of the
district. On its part, the land bank
sends the money for the loans to the
secretary-treasurer of the associa-
ton. He in turn delivers the proper
amount of money to the respective
borrowers and the farm mortgage
transaction is closed. The farmer
has thus been enabled to borrow
money on first mortgage with prac-
tically no trouble or expense on his
part.

Election of Officers

When the application for the
charter is sent to the land bank, it
must state that a temporary organi-
zation has been formed. This tenn
porary organization elects board of
directors, a loan committee, and a
secretary-treasurer The board Of
directors must consist of not less
than five members; the loan commit
tee must consist of three members.
The board of directors elects presi-
dent, vice president, loan committee.
and secretary The last
named officer need not be a member
of the association or resident of the
district, but the others must be mem
bers and residents The secretary
treasurer receives a small salary,

ors All other officers are supposed
to serve without pay, unless the pay
ment of salaries is approved by the
Federal Farm Loan Board.

of borrowers, therefore. can not be
unduly emphasized.

How Loans May BE Used

If farmer has a mortgage on his
land bank, his m ortgage lien must
be the first thing paid off with the
money. If any surplus of his loan re-
mains, he can apply it for the pur-
chase of fertilizers or live stock, the
construction of a silo, or for any
other purpose which will improve
the value of the farm.
But, if a farmer has no mortgage
on his farm and desires to borrow
for improving it in any of the ways
mentioned above, he can borrow
money from the land bank by giving
a first mortgage on his farm.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1916-09-08

So loan committees should be fair
at the beginning. Let them fix just
values on the farms of those mem
bers who are asking for loans
The report of the loan committee
should also give any other informa-
ton which would help the land bank
to understand conditions in that
community.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1916-09-08
The Farmer Has Little to Do

The practical work of national
farm loan association is done by the
secretary-treasurer He writes and
answers letters, keeps the books,
handles the funds, secures the loans
from the land banks, pays over the
money to borrowers. and does all the
active work of the association for the
members.
The loans are made on first mort
cages on farm lands. The mortgages
may run not less than five years nor
more than 40 years. The borrower
himself decides the length of time his
loan shall run. The interest can not
exceed six per cent and may be lower.
Every six months, or once each year,
the farmer pays the installment on
his debt. This includes interest,", part
of the debt itself, and small amount
to cover expenses of the association.
The secretary-treasurer makes the
collections, gives his receipt for them,
and sends the money collected to the
federal land bank. Thus most OF he
work of the associations is done by
