Executive Says High Cost OF
Living Makes Better Pay
Matter of Necessity

Governor Pinkham favors raise in
the salaries of public school teachers
and. in transmitting the school budget
to the house today, recommended that
the legislators consider an increase.
owing to the advanced cost OF living.
In his communication the chief ex-
ecntiye suggests the following appro-
priation to cover the proposed in
crease:
For September, October, November
and December, 1917, $23,669.6S.
For the " months. 1918, 81, 009.04.
This Is total of $94,67S.72
The budget of the school department
for the next biennial period calls for
1888, O40. This is divided as follows:
General fund, $226,540; special fund,
$751; 500.
One OF the first persons here to rec
ommend and urge a salary raise for
teachers was Henry w. Kinney. super
intendent of public instruction, who
expressed the hope that this would be
provided for by legislative measures
1t is evidently the governors intention
to urge that his figures be added to
the school budget already completed.

About the Rural Cred::s Law.

Ai0 OhNA ~ tcA III lNah hNhs pup
ularly called the "Rural credits
law" became a law July IL, 1916.
The primary purpose Of this act
is to promote agricultural pros
penty by enabling farmers to
borrow money on farm. mortgage
security at a reasonable rate of
interest and for relatively long
periods of time.
To attain this OBJECT, two farm.
mortgage systems are provided {:
IA system operating through
regional land banks, aud
"A system operating through
j0int-stock land banks.
TO attract money to the farm.
loan field, the act provides a
method whereby those who have
money TO lend can find safe in
vestment in the form of debent.
ures or bonds of large or small
denominations, issued by IN e
banks and based on the security
of mortgages on farm lands.
These two systems are under
the general supervision of a Fed
eral Farm Loan Board in the
Treasury Department, composed
Of the Secretary of the Treasury,
as chairman, ex ofiicio, aud four
members, appointed by the Pres
ldent. This board has authority
20 appoint appraisers, examiners
and registrars, who will be pubic
officials.
The law provides for Federal
land banks which make loans,
for the first twelve months, ex-
cluslvely through local national
farm-loan associations, composed
of borrowers. These associations
shall be shareholders in the
profits Of the bank. The money
for the loans is to come partly
from the capital of the parks
and partly from the sale by the
banks of bonds secured by first
mortgages on farm lands.
The United States has been
divided into twelve farm.loan
districts and Federal Land
Bank with a subscribed capital
stock of not less than 100000,
each share 50, has been estab
lished III each district; and each
of them may establish branches
in its district.
Within thirty days after the
capital stock is offered for sale,
it may be purchased at par by
any one. Thereafter, the stock
remaining unsold shall be bough
by the Secretary of the Treasury
for the United States. 1t is pro.
yided, however, that the Govern.
ment shall not receive any dlvi.
dends on its stock.
1t is intended that all stock In
these banks shall ultimately be
owned by the associations OF Dor
rowers, and provision is there.
fore made in the law for trans
terring the original stock at par
to these associations.
No land bank is permitted to
charge more than $50 persannum
on its farm. mortgage loans, and
in no case shall the interest
charged on farm mortgages eX.
ceed by more than one per cent
the rate paid on the last issue of
bonds.
