MORE FREAK LEGISLATION

In their fanatical zeal, friends of
prohibition have caused TO be add
ed to the postal appropriation bill
an amendment which prohibits news
papers, magazines, etc, from mail
ing their publications containing liq-
or advertisements to states which
have prohibition laws. The amend
ed bill passed the senate Thursday
and will now go to the house for
ratification.
A bill to bar liquor advertisements
from the mails already has passed
the senate. 1t may never reach a
vote in the house, but by attaching
the legislation to the appropriation
bill action is assured
Should this bill become a law, it
will work a great hardship to Neva-
da papers, all of which carry liquor
advertisements, as it would have the
practical effect of restricting their
circulation to the state.
1t is difficult to see just what harm
can be done to readers of newspapers
in prohibition states if they occas.
ionally encounter a liquor advertise
ment. The proposed law is unreason.

THE LIBRARY BILL

The bill presented in the legisla-
ture providing miscellaneous books
may be sent, post paid, to persons in
any part of the state, is a plan which
will no doubt add to the usefulness
OF the excellent Nevada state libra
ry. Heretofore it was required that
the postage be paid both ways by
the party securing the book. Under
the present act the librarian will be
required to send catalog Of books
to the clerk Of every school board in
the various counties
This is one step in the right direc-
ton and as the popularity of the
system becomes manifest. it is sure
to result in more liberal me.ho Is be-
ing employed. In some OF the largf-
er cities of the east, travelling lihra-
ries have been established and bo ks
are taken within walking distance
OF the citizens. We smaller cities of
Nevada do not need such an elabor-
ate system but we can get some val
liable suggestions from the big CITY
systems which will serve to eventu
ally link the state library with the
schools and clubs. and even the larg-
er stores.-Carson City News.

Senator Campbell voted to reject
the introduction in the senate of the
statewide prohibition iniative pc
tition. Therefore he became allied
with the "wets" in the upper house
of the legislature. The vote stood
8 to in favor OF rejecting the pc
tition. Come TO think about it the
senator signed the petition circulated
in Phoebe, too. The senator must
have taken a change of heart

Both mortgages and bonds will be

Farmers who Wish 10 obtain money
money from the Federal land-banks
will ordinarily be obliged to form
local loan associations, and get their
loans through these organizations
The local loan association will i'm
prove the credit of their members
and reduce the cost of their loans
through the performance of certain
definite services, among which are
the following: The committee called

ton will appraise the property of
fefed as security and approve all ap-
plications for loans which are sent
TO the land bank. The secretary
treasurer OF the association will
| transmit the papers and carry on all
| correspondence with the land bank
relative to the loans. The associa-
ton will guarantee the mortgages of
its members, the liability of any in
dividual member being limited, how
ever, to an additional sum equal to
the amount of the capital stock, or
approximately to per cent OF his
own loan.
One important function OF the new
system will be to establis safe stand
ards for the farm-mortgage business
OF the United States; for it is not
proposed to extend any credit except
on the basis of proper security. In
addition to the endorsement of the
local association. every loan mast

such as the purchase Of farm land,
improvements, equipment, fertilizer,

BENEFITS OF LOAN ACT
Ways in Which the New System Fur.
nishes Aid to the Farmer in FL
nancing His Business.

BY reason OF the facilities created
by the Federal farm loan act, which
was passed last summer, it will be
easier in the future for a farmer to
secure money to make needed i'm
provements or for the purchase of
livestock, and it will be easier also
for the landless man to purchase a
farm. according to a recent publica-
ton of the United States Department
OF Agriculture Farmers Bulletin
No. 1929 entitled How the Federal
Farm Loan Act Benefits the Farmer"
The Federal land banks estab-
lished under this act will stand ready
at all times, it is expected, to lend
money to farmers on farm mortgage
security. The interest charges will
not be more than 6 per cent, nor
more than l per cent above the rate
paid on the bonds sold by the bank
II y per cent bonds should be is
sued, therefore, the rate charged on
loans would be 5 Y per cent or less
There will be no commission or bo-
muses.. The loans will be made for
periods OF time ranging from 5 to
40 years, thus doing away with the
trouble and expense of frequent re-
newals
The payment of a certain part of
the principal annually or semiannu-
ally, with the interest will be re-
quired. The total payment, includ-
ing the interest, will be the same for
each year, and will be Just large
enough so that the entire principal
will be paid off at the end of the per-
iod. The annual payment thus re-
quired to pay off loan of $1,000.
with interest at per cent, in 20
years, is $S0.24.
After a loan has run 5 years the
borrower will be permitted to pay
off the whole amount, II he desires,
on any interest date, or to make par
tial payments in addition to the reg.
ular installment
The requirement OF installment
payments on the amortization plan,
as outlined above, will serve, first to
cultivate habits of thrift in the Dor.
rover, the second, to make possible
the placing of loans at a lower rate
OF interest, since the gradual reduc-
ton of the principal constantly i'm
proves the security for the unpaid
balance. The privilege of optional
payments after the first S years
leaves the borrower free to discharge
his Indebtedness before the end OF
the loan period. if he finds it conven-
lent to do so.
The Federal land banks will per-
form three important services. fl)
They will convert the security which
farm mortgages afford into negotia.
BILE form, known as farm-loan bonds
CD They will furnish additional Sc.
curity for the protection OF these
bonds, through their capital and sur.
plus, and thus make the bonds more
attractive to investors. (3) They
will sell the land-bank bonds in the
open investment market, which for
obvious reasons. the small farmer
could not reach to advantage.
The bonds are to be issued in de.
nominations ranging from $25 to
$1,000, and it is expected that the
bonds Of small denomination will en-.
courage saving through their appeal
to individuals who have not been in
the habit Of making investments.
The bonds will be secured not only
by farm mortgages deposited in trust
