The Cordova daily times., 1916-08-15

The money to be loaned will come through the federal land banks, passed to the hands of the National Farm Loan Associations and to the farmer. The capital stock of the land banks will not give them much loaning pow CT, so congress increased that power greatly by authorizing the banks to issue farm loan bonds and sell them in the open market. The act provides that when federal land bank has loaned s5O,OOO to farmers it may is- sue a corresponding amount of farm loan bonds, and that the total may be issued by any one bank on a minimum capital of $750O00, is to be twenty times that capital This would give each bank $15,OOO,OOO and the whole system $1S0,OOO,000 to loan on first mortgages.
 Farm loan bonds are to be made at tractive by payment of not more than five per cent interest, and provis- ion that they shall be exempt from federal, state or municipal taxation. They are made legal investments for trust funds. They are not to be obli- gations of the United States, but will |, hn on farm lands. These mortgages also are exempt from taxation.
 In case local conditions do not favor organization of farm loan associations land banks may be authorized by the farm land board to make loans to farmers through agents it approves. such as banks, trust or mortgage com panies, and the law permits establish ment of joint stock land banks to lend directly to borrowers on first mort, gages of farm lands. These banks will be under supervision of the farm land
 
 eral bank funds as will loan associa- tions. The stock banks, however, which are to be capitalized at not less than $25O,000 each, also may issue farm loan bonds, exempt from taxa tion and based on first mortgage se- curities, to the extent of fifteen times their capital stock. These banks are subject to the same provision of the law as loan associations, in respect to interest rates, amortization, etc
 In the beginning the federal land banks will be governed by directors appointed by the farm land board, but after subscriptions from loan associa- tions to any federal land banks capi- tai stock reach $10O00o, an elective system will become effective, with three directors chosen by the board and six by the loan associations. The board will approve compensation paid directors and officers of these banks. The loan associations will be directed by unpaid officers except a secretary and treasurer, or secretary-treasurer
 Banks and loan associations will be subject to the customary examination by persons appointed by the farm land board, and the law provides penalties for infringements of its provisions or counterfeiting of farm loan bonds
