PAYING HIGH INTEREST RATES

PAYING HIGH INTEREST RATES.
According to reports the Bankers
association of Canada met recently
at Winnipeg to decide on lower in
terest rates. 1t seems that the money
lenders were alarmed because it was
feared there would be little or no
profit in farming this year. So many
farm hands have Joined the army
from Canada that lahorers are now
demanding $50 a month.
It is said that the bankers decided
to lower interest rates and charge
but seven per cent for farm loans in
stead of the much higher rate that
has been charged. The rate was low
cred because the bankers said they
wanted sound investments rather
than high interest rates.
Commenting upon this situation in
Canada, the Kansas City Post says:
"Extortionate rates are being ex-
acted in the United States. They
would end if the farmer was given a
chance to borrow money on his prop
erty under conditions such as the
government could provide.
Loans protected by fertile farm
land are the safest investments.
There can be no way to lose. The
character of the borrower is not
even in question. Should he leave
his land idle, it will increase in value
more than enough to protect the loan
and all chargess. Yet the farmer
ranks near the top among the classes
exploited by money lenders.
