FEDERAL FARM LOANS
Farmers Should Get Together and
Plan How to Get Some of the
Cheap Money Offered

Cheap Money Offered
Twelve of the new federal land
banks, where farmers may bor-
row money at low rate of inter
est, will soon be established
thruout the United States.
The privilege of obtaining loan s
under this system is limited to
actual farmers. The money bor-
rowed must be spent on the mort
gagged land, either for the purchase
of the land or to pay off an in
debtedness upon it, for needed i'm
provements upon the land, or for
the purchase of livestock or equip
ment needed for the reasonable
operation of the farm. 1t cannot
be used for any other purpose.
Farmers may borrow from 800
to $4,000, and the mortgage may
run from . to 40 years at the op-
ton of the borrower. The amount
of the loan cannot exceed so per
cent of the value of the land and
20 per cent of the value of the
improvements. The interest rate
cannot be more than 6 per cent
and may not be more than per
cent.
To make use of this banking
system, however, the law requires
that farmers, or prospective farm
ers. must get together in groups
of ten or more and form local
National Farm Loan associations.
This means that the farmer who
wants to borrow money from
federal land bank must find at
least nine other farmers who also
want to borrow money. Then
these ten or more farmers form an
association, elect officers, and send
in their application to the federal
land bank Of the district for the
loans.
Thru the formation of these
associations and the bulking of
the applications for loans the
business of the banks is expedit-
ed, local responsibility is pro-
vided for the exclusion of worth
less risks, and the overhead costs
of handling the loans is greatly
reduced. Under such an arrange
ment the appraiser can inspect
ten farms almost rs cheaply as one.
For the farmer who wants to
make a loan the important thing
is to find the other nine or more
farmers who also want to make
loans. This Is not always easy to
do, because the average farmer
does not usually know the financi-
al needs of his neighbors. To aid
the farmers who would like to
make such loans, and to facilitate
the forming of the associations
The Enterprise herewith prints a
coupon which the farmers are
asked to fill out and mail to the
Federal Farm Loan Board. These
names will not be published but
will be entered in a list of pros
pective members of the farm loan
associations, and as soon as the
federal land bank for this district
is ready for business, which should
be within few months, the farm
ers III the same localities who have
their names entered on the list will
be duly notified SO they can form
an association:

The heavy wheels and the weight of

make them more durable. The big

this is one reason why the tractor is

AGREES
WITH HOSPITAL
Law ISFAlLTY
Morkmen's Compensation Act
Admittedly Does Not Provide
Proper Hospital Charges

According to the industrial accident
board the Workmen's Compensation
Act now IN the public eye through the
action Of the Queens Hospital author
tiles, is a good law but needs fixing.
Werner Roehl. superintendent OF
the Queens Hospital, has refused to
receive compensation patients unless
payment for treatment Is guaranteed
by the employer, as told in the Star
Bulletin.
The Workmen's Compensation Act
Is just year old today and has prov
ed very satisfactory in most of its
provisions. according to the board, but
Section II, referring to medical at
tention, is considered inadequate and
open to legitimate objections. It reads
in part as follows:
During the first IA days of disabil-
fly the employer shall furnish reason
able surgical. medical and hospital
services and supplies not exceeding
the amount of $50.
It was stated in the industrial acct
dent board office today that this pro-
vision is inconsistent because reas-
enable services for IA days can not
be furnished for $40. Although the
Industrial accident board Is not parti-
IeulaFly concerned. It has only 70 foe-
low the law as written, still 1t believes
this section should be changed by the
next legislature.
Not only does Roehl and the
Queens Hospital authorities object to
this provision but also to that provid.
ing for compensation when a patient
is disabled for more than IA days.
This reads:
Where the injury causes total dis
ability for work the employed during
such disability, but not including the
first IA days thereof. shall pay the m
jured empIoye weekly compensation
equal to 60 per cent Of his average
weekly wages"
RoelI maintains thar the whole OF
the average weekly wage would not
pay costs incurred at the hospital. to
say nothing Of only so per cent of that.
wage the accident board bears him
out in this-and since most fracture
cases are m the hospital more than IA
days the institution is losing money
,oR the ease all the time, says Roehl.

Moreover, owing to lack of inter.

OF the state highway between New

adopted by the state highway commits
sion IN 1914, as a part of the inter
national highway between Mexico and
British Columbia HERETOFORE referred to-
we consider the completion of this
highway the first imperative duty of
the state. The special session should
further authorize the state engineering
department to locate all available
water power sites adjoining AID con-
tlguous to the proposed road with the
view of their development as previous
~ suggested. Township plats of the
road in Idaho county, the tint showing
the easy construction, are annexed to
this report as Exhibit e
We are OF the opinion that the con
struction of this railroad bed and its
use (free of taxation, if the eonstitu.
ton permits) would enlist the support
of some existing railroad corporation
to equip and operate it on a long time
lease. Under existing worldwide
financial conditions, we believe the So
luton of the problem is to employ the
available convict labor of the state
steadily upon the proposed railroad bed
over few years, thus distributing its
cost over a period which would inflict
no hardship upon our fellow taxpayers.
Competent contractors advise us that
the employment of convict labor will
cut the cost of construction from 10 to
10 per cent, after allowing the usual
compensation to the convicts.

Two Connections in North.
In addition to the Camas Prairie
Railroad company, traversing the won
derfully productive country between
Lewiston and Grangeville, new line
is projected, with one link thereof now
operating, to cover the same region,
which will afford two connections in
the north. Similarly, the extension of

road will also make two southern n
nections.
We have ignored all reference to the
Salmon river route above higgins and
below Whitebird, believing that our eff
forts should be devoted exclusively to
the "missing link between north and
south Idaho. There is no question but
that the route via the Salmon and
Snake rivers is the most economic from
the standpoint of operation, nor that it
will eventually be built, presumably by
the Gilmore and Pittsburg, which is
now understood to be the Northern
Pacific railway. But it will doubtless
be long time before this line is built
certainly not until the competition of
other transcontinental lines becomes
such as to necessitate the investment
of the vast sum necessary to give the
owner road the advantages presented
by this route. The cost of this road
from Salmon City to Lewiston will
average 100000 per mile or more, and
the business available at this time or
in the near future from the contribut-
ing territory is negligible, It's one ad-
vantage lies in economic handling of
through freight.
The agricultural and livestock inter
ests adjoining and contiguous to the
river are not alone Worry of attention
and transportation, but the many pro-
missing and rapidly developing mining
districts in the hinterland of the gold
en- heart of Idaho are to be included as
a notable asset TO the revenues of such
railroad lines as may be built here
after. The country directly tributary
to the proposed road is endowed with
great mineral resources, and the full
recognition and exploitation of this
source of wealth and revenues is simply
a matter of transportations The miner
al products of this section have in the
past exerted great influence upon the
general progress of the state, and are
destined to be of still greater impor-
lance in the future.
