GUARD FARMERs' INTEREST

Borrowers will be able to get loans equal to 50 per cent of the value of the land, plus 20 per cent of the value of the improvements. But it is predicted that a renter who has not saved the 50 per cent necessary will be able to execute a second mortgage for part of the remaining 50 per cent at such a rate that his total interest and amortization payments on both mort gages will be less than rental under the present condition.
 "The interest of the farmer Is well guarded in the farm loan act No land- lord will be able to borrow on land which IS leased No speculator may borrow. None but actual farmers will be able to borrow and they may borrow only on the land upon which they are working. The leans are limited to $10,000 because un- limited loans would make it possible to use them for the purpose or land monopoly, whereas the purpose of the bill is to favor farmers of medium sized op- erations, and to enable them to till the land more profitably and effectively.
 Farmers who join these farm loan as- sociations are not under unlimited liabil- ity for the debts of their associates as some critics of the measure have tried to make out If one member of this 10 should default and the sale of his farm did not satisfy his mortgage, then the deficit could be paid out of the stock coming from the investment of per cent of their loans But when it is realized that the mortgage in the first place only represented half of the appraised value of his farm, it will be appreciated that the danger of loss from any joint liability is very remote.

 LABOR IS FOR WILSON Never in the memory or politicians of today has there been a contest which approached the present one for closeness. It Is like yacht race where an extra puff of wind--or just a zephyr-on the closing reach may drive one across the finish line first. La bor Is overwhelmingly for the Presi- dent.

 THE SOUTH'S HEART
 On the other hand, if the number of banks allotted to the south Is three, Bir- mingham or Montgomery must, on mer- it's, or geographical position win.
 For one of the banks must be placed on the Atlantic coast, and as Richmond has been favored with federal reserve bank either Maryland or North Carolina appears to be the logical state for a ru- ral credit institution. Another bank must be placed to the far west of the south ern area. This would necessitate the placing of the third bank in the most nearly central position.

COOPERATION THE IDEA

.sThe big idea of the farm loan act is cooperation, and the idea is applied to the formation of these little local farm loan associations. These organizations at first seem like barriers but it will be seen that they are really the guardian of the borrowers interest They provide the machinery for excluding bad risks. for no member can be admitted without receiving 8 two-thirds vote from the di- rectors They also provide the machinery py which the farmers control their own bank. Each association has vote in the election of officers. Even if private bankers should buy all the stock of the federal farm loan banks, they could not vote. The voting is limited to the as- sociations of farmers and the govern ment The federal farm loan board names three directors for each bank, while the farmers elect six.
