On the subject of special privileges,
President Wilson, in his first annual
message, said:
"The farmers, Of course, ask and
should be given no special privilege,
such as extending to them the credit
of the Government itself. What they
need and should obtain is legislation
which will make their own abundant
and substantial credit resources avail
able as foundation for joint, con-
certed action in their own behalf in
getting the capital they must use"
Various amendments have been pro-
posed to make the Federal Land Bank
system workable as it should be, but
on account of war conditions nothing
has been done SO far.
When the law was passed, the in
come tax rate paid by the very veal
thy was 6 per cent War conditions
have raised this from &C to ~ per
cent.
All Federal Land Bank bonds are
tax exempt and could net be sold until
this new rate of tax applied on the
very wealthy a nd since then they
have been buying them to escape the
taxes, which have to be made up by
the great masses Of tax payers. Why
should one class-the most able to
pay, be relieved from taxes, which the
great body of tax payers have to make
up?
1t has been shown that men with
large incomes would have to have tax
able securities earning them lat per
cent to bring them the same net in
come that the Federal Land Bank, tax
exempt bonds, now yield them.
Ninety-nine per cent of the farmers
who have not received loans from the
Federal Land Banks and all American
taxpayers aside from the very few
wealthy, have to make up the nation
al deficit caused by these tax exempt
bonds.
For every $50 interest paid by the
farmer, the rich man saves on his in
come tax by reason of the tax ex.
enpt bond S33, and the rest Of the
tax payers have to make it up.

there was a three months European
junket by a United States Commits
sion, and number Of delegates as
sembled by the Southern Commercial
Congress under the stimulus of the
Hon. David Lubin, born in Germany
or Austria but at that time hailing
from Rome, Italy, in speech before
the American commission, declared
'they were at the feet of the German
people to learn" A subtle German
propaganda was then started in Con-
gress for the establishment in this
country of system of rural credits,
based upon borrowing and lending
money on long time farm mortgages,
which first started in Prussia, has
found it's principal development in
Germany, although notifications are
found in other parts of Europe.
Those commissions, confessedly not
studying American farming condi-
lions, but only European conditions,
obtained large amount of data of
German methods and came home en-
thusiastic about the various German
| ic schemes. An illustrations: A fair
sample is found in speech of Sena-

bout farm MORTGAGES
Secretary and General Manager of the
Brush McWilliams Co. Reads Care
fully Prepared Paper Before
Minot Rotary Club.

E. A. Long, president Of the Minot
Rotary Club and secretary and gener-
al manager Of the Brush Nc Williams
Co., read the following very ably pre-
pared paper on Farm Mortgages" at
the Monday MONDAY luncheon of that
organisation. Mr.. Longs company is
one of the best known farm mortgage
concerns in the state and he knows his
subject thoroly:
FARM MORTGAGES.
The Farm Mortgage stands at the
top Of the security list for stability
and depndability. As time goes on it
has become more and more desirable
as an investment from these stand
points.
Compared with the merchant thru
a period Of years the farmer gets a
lower rate on his farm than the mer-
chant does on his paper In this
section, the past few years, no mer-
chant gets better rate than 8 per
cent and some pay more, and many
farmers have obtained farm loans at
2 per cent, and obtained this rate for
4 period Of five to ten years, while the
merchant scarcely knows what loan
for more than twelve months looks
like. During the past few years, par
ticulany, the farmer who handled
stock in connection with his crop oper-
atoms has been fortunate. Funds OBJ
tanned from farm loan at compar-
atively low rate Of interest, invested
in live stock, has proven to be a very
profitable investment, to say nothing
of the increase in the value of the
Land on which the farm loan was plac-
ed, giving him an opportunity to make
money in several ways. am speak

the avenue is open to affluence and
influence, and without regard to the
vital consideration as to whether such
business is an essential part of our
economic structure. The greatest sue
cess will come to the man who has
learned and believes that his business
is necessity in the business world,
and that through it he can render a
direct service to mankind The big
idea of the "work or fight" order will
be the basis thought in business here
after. In other words-do something
of economic usefulness.
Farmers have prospered through
opportunities furnished on borrowed
money, and the investors have been
fully satisfied with this class of in
vestments
Without farm land finacing, the
farmer never could have developed his
acres. This was made possible by the
courage and the ambition of the mort
gage banker to assist in the develop
ment Of the country Farm mortgage
bankers and the railroads were neces-
cary to our agricultural development
There could have been no development
without either, or both.
It is estimated that farms Of this
country are mortgaged for four and a
half billion dollars, and they have beer
placed by thousands of local agents
through hundreds of old established
farm mortgage companies which had
established, prior to the war, steady,
reliable market for farm loans. Years
upon years of effort was required to
construct this immense machine to
finance the farmers. Without salts
factory service to the borrower and in
weston, the mortgage houses never
could have survived to the point of
having loaned money. doubt if any
centralized single agency, no matter
how well managed, can take the place
Of the thousands of local agencies Gull

ers. The Federal reserve banks did
not try to supplant the private COM
mercial banks, but to supplement
them and take them into a system,
which through it's elasticity would
strengthen the entire credit system
of commercial banking. / can't be-
ieve that the statements which have
been made that the Farm Loan Act
was passed for the purpose Of putting
the Farm Mortgage Bankers out of
business were made in sincerity and
deliberately.
Yet there was never any need of the

Last year the Government went in
to the market and purchased Federal
Bank bonds, the effect of which was
to reduce the selling vaue Of Liberty
Bonds, the best security in the world,
to price ranging on Nov. 30th from
S94.70 to S96.S8, and on the same date
the tax exempt Federal Land Bank.
bonds bearing per cent were quoted
at 104 IA. This was caused BY the
larger net yield of the tax exempt
burden was shifted from the most
able to pay to masses less able to pay,
In the face of this there was a Bill
before Congress to extend the banks
privilege of loaning money on city
property on the same basis, and agi-
tation to give them privilege of loan
ing on chattels.
The advocates Of tax exemption are
enthusiastic for it's continuance be-
cause they claim it is a popular doc
trire. Its temporary popularity does
not necessarily indicate permanent
value. Many fallacious doctrines like
F., the Free Silver delusion and the
greenback craze have had temporary
popularity. The popularity of pub
lie lotteries has been SO great that
nearly all civilized countries have
found it NECESSARY to suppress them
as contrary to public policy, being ev-
lis detrimental to the public good,
Otto H. Kahn in an address to the,
American Bankers convention at Chi,
cago in 1918, said:
Nothing is easier to start, moth.
ing moves faster when once started,
than economic fallacies. Nothing is
harder than for sober unvarnished
truth, loaded down with the realities
of existence, to catch up with those
fallacies. IT. invariably dies in the
end, but meanwhile the fallacies on
their long start and rapid fight may
have wrought vast harm, as we have
recently seen exemplifed in Russia"
At the present time the Federal
Farm Loan System is walking on the
high stills Of tax exemption very
treacherous and unstable footing.
When it is generally known that GOA
families are required to pay more
! for the cost of living and taxes than
one family may receive benefits, the
MAJ olity against tax exemption will
he overwhelming. No political party
and no individual in public life will
then favor this unfair tax exemption
preference by advocating and defend
ing it. The eloquence of idealistic
dreamers and socialistic economists
will not prevail against the mex
orable arguments of the tax receipt
and the family expense account.
