BANKS SHOW HUGE GAIN
INCREASE OF se,ses,ss7 IN DENVER
1916 SAVINGS.
Prosperity Of Denver People Shown in
Every Line Of Civic and
Private Life.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Evidences of Denver's un-
precedented prosperity during 1916 are
coming like an avalanche through the
medium of annual totals and account
for many months, manifesting them
selves through all avenues of trade
and industry, but even the most conf
dent and assured Denverite must exper.
ience thrill of surprise and gratifica-
ton when he observes some OF the
proofs in the aggregate.
Never before in the history Of Den
yer has there been achievement equal
to the new and remarkable record in
the number and volume of savings &C
counts. In twenty-four banks the de-
posits aggregate $31,924,939 for 1916,
as against $25, ,561, ,562 in 1915, an in
crease of $6,363,377. or approximately
% per cent. The adding of 1928 new
accounts during the year, many OF
which were deposits Of women and
children, gives the figures signifi
cant aspect. The total number Of &C
counts is 10000.
During the year settlers from all
parts of the United States took up
public land in Colorado to the amount
of 2,327,9S7 acres. Most of these were
taken in 320-acre tracts, the maximum
now permitted as homestead entry.
1t is striking parallel in Denver's
financial year that, while her savings
were unprecedentedly big, her dis
bursements indicate a corresponding
increase. There is not branch Of
civic and conn arcial life that has not
felt the influence Of prosperity. Den
yer has bought more automobiles, built
more houses and worn better clothes
than ever before.
Estimates based on close calcula-
tions by experts show that the total
value of automobiles bought during
the year is approximately $13,600,O00.
Total financial transactions of the
Denver postoffice furnish another en-
phatic proof of prosperous conditions.
They will show a gain of more than
$1,O00,000 over the record of 1915. 1t
is expected that the total business will
amount to more than 100000 for the
year. In the postal savings bank of
the Denver postoffice, approximately
$535,00O was deposited, a gain of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 over the
amount deposited in 1915.

RURAL CREDIT LAW MAKES
MONEY CHEAP
May Borrow Half of Land Value ut
Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being
Felt Strongly

The elfectOf the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Ad-
ministration, already is being felt
i'll lower interest rates, although the
land banks have not yet been organ
lzed. Testimony to this effect is
being given at the hearings held by
the Federal Farm Loan Board in
western cities.
At the hearings in Nebraska, num-
erous farmers stated that interest
rates in the hOmesteading sections
of that State already have been re-
duced from one to two per cent, by
the prospective competition of the
thirty to fOrty-year loans that the
land banks soon will be making.
The average loan that an insur-
ance company or other loan agency
would make on a 6i0-acre. Kin
kaid' claim was 81 1000. The COM
mission deducted from this left the
farmer 1850 He paid interest at
from 8 to 10 per cent for five years
ON $1,000, making his average net
interest rate from II to 10 per
cent.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form
cooperative or joint stock associa-
tions and borrow from the region
al Federal Farm Loan Bank on the
security of their land. Ten farm
ers can form one of these associa-
tiOns They can borrow up to 80
percent Of the volue of their land,
for a period running up to forty
years.
The loan is repayable is small an
nual installmehts, or can be paid
in full at any time. The estimated
interest rate is 5 per cent. The
farmer who borrows will share in
the profits Of the business, thereby
reducing his interest rate TO a stilI
lower figure.
