RURAL CREDITS BILL
Is PASSED By HOUSE
Little Opposition Encountered to Measure, Which L
Plotted Through by Glass, of Virginia Differences
With Senate to BE Worked Out in Conference

land banks would lend money to farm
crs ut not more than per cent in
tcrest through local loan ssociations
on mortgages running from five to thir-
tE-six years. The mortgages would be
used by the rural banks as loan bonds.
There are several differences between
the House and Senate measures to be
adjusted The Senate's bill would
capitalize the association at S25 1000. 900.
while the Houses calls for $4,000 600
Inc Senate would authorize Joan asso-
Citations with unlimited liability: the
House would not. The Senate would
limit loans on lands to so per cent
with no recognition of improvements;
the House proposes to grant 60 per cent
on land values and 90 per cent of value
on permanent insurable improvements
The Senate proposes that no loan
shall be made If the three members
OF tn" local loan committee are not
unanimous in their appraisement; the
Hous" would require ma jority report
Of the committee. The Senate makes
a minimum loan of $500. the House OF
500 The Senate would charge Dor
rowcrs 10 per cent on al, deferred
payments: the House would charge only
contract rates The Senate would re-
Quire local associations to ,akc good
all deficits within thirty days after
notice from a local bank: the House
would provide special reserve to pro-
tcct associations.
SOME OTHER DIFFEUENCES
BETWEEN TWO MEASURES
The Senate bill requires advance pay
mcntS on TIL" principal in sums of 500

multiplcS. The Senate makes the ac-
tual earning power the basis. and the
House makes the agricultural plan the

would be required tn hold % per cent
of net earnings in reserve and de-
clare any dividends TO borrowers
