PLAN FIGHT IN COURT

Building and Loan Associa-

eral Browns Ruling

Two thousand building and loan as

in court for the patriotic privilege OF
purchasing Liberty Bonds. the result OF
a ruling by Francis Skunk Brown, State

associations cannot invest their funds
in this manner.

proposed action in letter today to
Daniel +. Lafean. state Commissioner
of Banking.
The ruling of Attorney General Brown
was made to Commissioner I.afean YES

ing and loan associations are Co-opera-
tive concerns and the stockholders not
permanent investors. and. therefore, can
not make permanent investments, and
can make loans only to stockholders

profits. and for that reason there cannot

holds.

citation, declared Attorney General
Browns ruling would not cause the
building and loan associations any
worry.
IN the first place. the Liberty Loan
is not permanent investment but only
temporary" said Mr. Brown an the
second place. the State law upholds our
patriotic procedure of buying bonds. As
regards the surplus. building and loan
associations are allowed to borrow 25
per cent of the withdrawal value of
their shares. When they borrow money
that amount is a surplus, and they can
invest it in the Liberty Loan. according
to the State law.
Regarding the Attorney Generals
statement about the shareholders being
entitled to all the profits. the purchase
of Liberty Loans has nothing to do with
the profits. OF course. there is some
question as to whether a Liberty Bond
investment at Az per cent certain in
terest is as profitable as a risk at per
cent. But our purchase of Liberty
Bonds Is a help to the people, for bonds
are just the same as cash. and If the
| people want to withdraw we can give
