Effect of New Administration Act
Strongly Felt. Although Law Is Not
Yet L.. Operation-Wil Reduce In
terest on Land Loans to Less Than
Per Cent.
The effect of the new rural credit
law. passed by the Democratic Ad-
ministration, already Is being felt In
lower interest rates. although the land
banks have not yet been organized
Testimony to this effect is being given
at the hearings held by the Federal
Farm Loan Board in various western
cities.
At the hearings I'm Nebraska. numer-
GUS farmers stated that interest rates
In the demonstrating section OF that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospective
competition OF the thirty to forty-year
loans that the land banks soon will be
making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other agency would make
on a 64O-acre Kinkaid claim was ST.
900. The commission deducted from
this left the farmer $3.50. He paid In
terest at from 8 to 10 per cent for five
years on $1,000 making his average
net interest rate from II to 10 per
cent
This now Is stopped by the coming
competition of the new rural credit
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make 6ve-year loans at
lower rates. to forestall the operation
of the new law
The farmers Of the West. who have
suffered exorbitant interest rates for
years. are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law. and
ready to help put it in successful Oper-
alton.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on tho security OF
their land. Ten farmers can form one
of these associations. They can Dor
row up to 80 per cent. Of the value Of
their land, for a period running up tC
forty years
The loan is repayable In small an
nual instruments, or can be paid in full
! at any time. The estimated Interest
rate is per cent. The farmer who
L rrOws will share in the profits of the
business, thereby reducing his interes
rate to u still lower figure.

OF PRESIDENT WILSON.
This is no time to point out
mistakes of the past. This is no
time, by attacks upon the general
in command, to give the idea that
our commander has not united
people behind him.
We are fortunate in having
kept on. of the present European
war, and we ought to support the
administration in keeping US out
II we had a jingo in tho White
House this country would now be

ident. He is first an American,
the same as we are. We must all
be Americans first.
