EXPERIMENT IN CIvlCS.
The National Social Unit Organization
Formed In New York City.


Formed In New York City.
At a meeting held recently in New
York city there was formed the Ma
tlonal Social Unit organization, which
intends to finance, organize and advise
In some typical city. preferably Of
about 100000 population, an expert
ment in the correlation of social actiyl-
ties. The development of mode
program for community organization
with the counsel and advice of nation
al social experts" as the organizers Of
the movement have phrased ii, will
% the form of attempting in each
neighborhood Of the chosen city to pool
the experience of the agents in various
neighborhood and community activi-
ties and to work out standardized
methods.
1t will mean that instead of having
II each neighborhood a neighborhood
association, which takes charge of gen
eral public questions, a community
center which handles social, recrea-
tional and intellectual matters. dis
trict nursing service, district relief. dis
trict health center. and so on, all Of
these activities will be united in Il cen
trail body which shall have charge OF
all the work in the neighbOrhood.
Public health is TO be the principal
feature of the work as planned, and
the welfare of children is specifically
aimed at
Whether it will be found later that
the system works well enough TO justi-
fy central municipal organization to
handle all these questions is matter
on which the promoters OF the plan
are as yet unwilling to be quoted
They make it clear that the present
scheme is only an eXperlment--indeed
that the limit of three years which
has been set for It's working out Is
purely arbitrary and that the question
is TO get slch n movement started In n
particular city and then see wheihe'
its actual workings are an improve
ment over the present system.
The functions of the National Social
Unit Organization in assisting the eX'
pertinent are three--tirst, 10 finance
the work in which there will be, n
,lrst at least, some ele.Aents of add
tonrl expense; second, TO arouse inter
est in the experiment all over the coun
try by the onlis'ing of the attention OF
persons from all parts of the United
States In IT, workings Of the plan.
and. third. to act in an advisory capaci'
ty. creating advisory committees which
will enlist TIE aid OF national expert
In every line.

THE
FARM
LOAN


"IIE federal farm loan act, popu.
larry called the rural credits
law" was signed by the presl-
dent and became law on July
IL. The primary purpose OF this act
Is to promote agricultural prosper
ity by enabling farmers to borrow
money on farm mortgage security at a
reasonable rate of iRterest and for rel
atively long periods of time. To attain
this object two farm mortgage systems
are provlded-first, a system operating
through regional land banks and, sec.
ond, a system operating through Joint
stock land banks.
To attract money to the farm loan
field the act provides method where
by those who have money to lend can
find safe investments In the form Of
debentures or bonds Of small and large
denominations issued by the banks and
based on the security of mortgages on
farm lands
These two systems are TO be under
the general supervision OF a federal
farm loan board in the treasury depart
ment, composed Of the secretary Of the
treasury as chairman ex ofllcio and four
members appointed by the president.
This board has authority to appoint ap-
pralsers, examiners and registrars. who
will be public officials.
The Federal Land Bank System.
Under the federal land bank system
the act provides for federal land banks,
which make loans for the first twelve
months exclusively through local ma
tional farm loan associations composed
of borrowers. These associations shall
be shareholders in the banks. and in that
way members who are borrowers will
share in the profits Of the bank. The
money for the loans is to come partly
from the capital Of the banks and part
ly from the sale by the banks of bonds

secured 10y first mortgages on farm
lands. The act defines strictly the pur-
poses for and the conditions under
which loans are TO be made and re
quires that the rate of interest charged
on farm loans shall not exceed q per
cent per annum.
The United States shall be divided
into twelve farm loan districts and
federal land bank with n subscribed
capital stock of not less than 100000,
each share 81, shall be established In
each district. Each federal land bank
may establish branches in its district
Within thirty days after the capital
stock is offered for sale 1t may De pur-
chased ut par by any one. Thereafter
the stock remaining unsod shall be
bought 10y the secretary of the treas
TRY for the United States, II Is pro
vlded, however, that the government
shall not receive any dividends on its
stock. Ultimately 1t is intended that
all the stock in the banks shall he
owned by the associations Of borrow
ers, and provision therefor l. made in
the law for transferring the original
stock ut par to these associations.
National Farm Lean Assoe.asionS.
The net provides for the creation OF
local national farm loan associations.
through which 1t Is contemplated that
the federal land banks shall make their
loans. In the event that local loan
association is not found in any locality
within year, the federal farm loan
board may authorize federal land
bank 10 make loans on farm hand
through approved agents. Ten or more
persons who own and cultivate farm
land qualified rs security for a mort
gage loan under the act or who are
about TO own and cultivate such land
may form such an association. provided
the aggregate of the loans desired by
the membership Is not less than $4,000.
Each member must take stock IN his
association TO an amount equivalent TO
. per cent Of the amount lie wishes 10
borrow. This stock the association
holds IN trust as security for the men,
ber's individual loan. The association
In turn, when applying for money from
the bank, must subscribe for stock IN
the bank ~ an amount equivalent TO 3
per cent OF the sum II wants to obtain
for Its members. This stock Is held In
