RURAL CREDIT BILL
PASSES SENATE
tcopyright,l

The bill, after almost two weeks o.
debate, passed the senate practically
as reported by the banking committee.
An amendment by Senator Smoot re-
iucing the salaries of the farm loan
board from $4,000 to $500, which
was adopted by vote Of 26 to 25 in
the committee of the whole, was re-
considered when the bill reached the
senate and was defeated, 20, to 81,
although eight Democratic senators
voted with the Republicans for the re-
duction.
A somewhat similar bill has been
reported by the house banking com
mittee eand, it is said, will be brought
up for consideration in the house soon.
Like the senate measure, it would ere
ate chain of farm loan banks, but it
differs in means of operation.
The senate bill provides for a nom
partisan farm loan board to consist OF
the secretary Of the treasury and -four
others. having general control of 9
farm loan system of IL or more land
banks. and of farm loan associations
through which loans actually would
be made.
Each land bank would have a capi.
tai stock of at least $500,000, to be
subscribed by the government il moi
AIKEN by the public. The farm loar
associations would be cooperative
made up of 10 or more farmers whe
would obtain a charter from their dis.
trict land bank.
A farmer desiring to become a Dor
rover would be required to take stocl
in the loan association equal to pc
,ent of his loan; the association il
turn would take an equal amount o
stock in the land bank, which ,woul'
Iappraise the security offered and max,
the loan through the association. Oh
| mortgages amounting to S5O00O,
bank might issue q like amount .
farm loan bonds, which would be se
cured by all IL land banks.
All profits would go to the loan as
sociations in dividends, and thus I
the borrowers who are shareholder
in them. Loans might be on a. lon
terms as SO years on the amortizatio
plan, so that with each interest pas
ment the farmer could pay
small amount Of his principal. Loan
would be limited to first mortgages
and could net exceed SO per cent 9
the appraised value Of the land.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TAKES
ACTION ON ALTON ROAD
Special Committee Appointed to Solicit Funds for
Improving This Highway Club Also Con-
tributes Towards Race Meet.

AT a regular meeting Of the COM
mercial club last TUESDAY night, L
was voted to appropria e $50 from
the club fund TO pay the preliminary
expense o 4 joining the Southern
Idaho racing circuit. which pratical-
" insures a race meet for Montpel-
ier, the exact dates for which have
not yet been fixed, but hey will pro-
badly be the last week in August.
1t was also decided that the club
would give all the moral support
possible to the meet. Upon motion,
J. F. o'Connor was appointed TO
represent the club in oil matters per
tanning to this.
Mr.. o'Connor made quite a talk
in regard to the Star valley road.
He said he felt that the time had
come when Mont )elie'' should make
an active campaiign ir the matter OF
putting this road in first-class condi-
ton. When Wyoming people COM
plete the road through the grand
canyon of the Snake river, he said
that Montpelier will lie on the direct
line from Salt Lake to the Yellow.
stone park. by way Of this great
scenic route. But unless the road
from here to Alton In put In good
condition for auto traffic. but few
people viii come this way. Mr.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1916-05-12

O'Connor pointed out a number Of
other reasons why this road should
be improved and kept in shape for
auto and wagon traffic. The ques-
tion was further discussed by +. A.
Burrell. Ia Rich and others, all Of
whom favored taking some action
which would bring results. At the
conclusion of the discussion Il was
moved that a specia! committee Of
four be appointed for the purpose Of
raising funds with which to improve
the road. First. by securing as
large an appropriation az possible
from the county commissioners. and
then soliciting donations from the
business houses OF Montpelier. The
committee was also authorized TO nee
what the Bannock county commits
sioners will do towards repairing
that portion Of the Star valley road
which is in Hammock county.
Acting President SpongberR ap-
pointed J. +. o'Connor. +. A. Bur.
rell. Nose Lewis and Ed C. Rich as
members Of this committee.
o Some other questions Of import
ance were discussed but no definite
action taken on any of them.
