lands of the farmers of the state of
North Dakota would be a splendid
property on which to base bond is
sue. Compare it with railroad, or a
city or town, neither of which is of
any value unless located in lands that
are good. If the lands would be good
for bond issue the mortgages on
these lands would also be good provid-
ing all questions Of title, foreclosure
proceedings, length of loan could be
answered.
The Torrens system answers all
question Of title; the investor need no
longer examine the abstract The
value of the farm is determined by a
state board of appraisers, and the To-
cal bank, so that the investor need not
concern himself in regard to whether
ne is taking too large a loan or not.
The farm loan bank cannot enter into
competition with the commercial bank
for it's only source of money is from
the sale of bonds. For this reason
the bank keeps a surplus on hand to
redeem the bonds offered for sale
lhey 90 this so as to make them at all
times salable and the result is tn It
the investor is offered a demand de-
post bearing per cent interest that
Is backed by the best security on
earth. This class of bonds have not
deprecated during the recent wars
Of Europe, while all other kinds have.
Even the government bonds will not
be redeemed; but it makes no differ
ence what becomes of the Empire of
Germany or the Republic of France,
the lands will be there and they will
redeem the rural credit farm loan
bond, whatever happens.
Thus it can be seen that as far as
property is concerned the farmer has
the best security in the world. The
trouble lies in the instrument with
which the farmer approaches the in
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-07-20

weston. It lies entirely in the fact
that the farm mortgage is not as ne
gotiable a piece of paper as bond
on city or railroad. 1t is not as con-
venient as bond, and in order to be
secure the investor must really exam
inc each and every farm, as we'll as
each and every title. He must make
his loan for comparatively short
term so as to be able to get his money
back within a reasonable time. He
must make the loan for very small
per cent of the value of the property
so as to be sure he won't be compelled
to foreclose and pay the taxes on the
property, while the mortgagor reaps
the crops during the foreclosure pro-
ceedings. The way to get cheaper
money is to put up better security
without any ifs or ands or possible
contingencies connected with it. A
system that does all of these things
has been developed in Germany dur
ing the last $50 years, so there is
really nothing to invent; all there is
to do is to apply the principles and
North Dakota.
The farmer, with a system of farm
loans patterned after the one in Ger
many would have the money markets
of the world open to him, on the same
basis as city, school district, or a
railroad, or other corporation. Cheap
er money would mean higher land val.
ues; it would make North Dakota the
Mecca of all land buyers and home
builders. All real estate men should
favor this plan. 1t would take the
farm loan business out of the hands OF
few men, whose only asset is an ac-
quaintance among investors, and put
it into the hands of the bankers anc
farmers; therefore all bankers anc
farmers, whether owners or tenants
and all bankers should favor this
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-07-20

method from a selfish standpoint. In
fact, it would be an improvement that
would add so tremendously to the
prosperity of the state that there is
not an attorney, abstractor, news
paperman, nor farm loan man but
what could add to his personal pros
perity by the adoption of such sys-
tenn.
The value of this system to North
Dakota in dollars and cents would run
into the hundreds Of millions. An adj
vance of $1,000 per acre on the land
would amount to about $40O, 900, 100000
and it would really pay off every dol
lar that is now owed on the lands of
the state because it would replace the
present loans by loan that the pres
ent interest payment would be suffic-
lent to retire both the principal and
interest. As the loans of the state no
doubt amount to $500 per acre, this
would amount to another $500, O00,O 900,
or total Of $6O0,O00,O00.
The moral and economic effect on
the state would be beyond calculation
OF comprehension. It would enable
every young man to buy and pay for a
sell out; it would give the farmer
hope and cheer and confidence in the
future and pride in his state; wher-
ever he travelled he would spread glad
hopeful tidings that North Dakota
was the land for the honest worker
who desired a chance to earn a hcme.
1t would really put the farmers of
North Dakota in position to produce
farm products cheaper than any other
place on earth.
In view of the victory of the Non
partisan League, the writer suggests
this subject for the consideration of
the league as LEGISLATION that will get
results; that will mark the beginning
of new era for North Dakota.
