HOME LOAN BANKS
AROUSE INQUIRIES
Great Interest in Provisions
of Bill Proposed for
Congress.

The United States Department of
Labor is receiving many inquiries
! concerning the plan for organizing a
system of federal home loan banks,
and general interest is said to be
manifested in the provisions of the
bill to be introduced in the next ses
sion of Congress.
The impression exists. it is stated.
that the banks when established
would make direct loans of govern
ment funds to persons desiring to
build homes. This is said to be mis-
take. The plan contemplates the or
Ganization of federal home loan banks
as clearing houses for building and
loan associations, which would then
be able to realize on their longtime
mortgages. and thus to meet increased
demands for loans. The associations
clearing through these banks would
be stockholders in the institutions.
According to the plans group of
building and loan associations could
combine for the organization OF a fed
eral home loan bank in which they
would deposit block of mortgages
taken in the regular course of busi-
ness. Against these mortgages the
bank would issue bonds up to so per
cent of the value represented. The
bank would sell these mortgages in
the market. turning over the proceeds
to the association which had deposit
ed them, the association executing a
note to the bank for the amount thus
received.

What You've Always Wanted.
The question of plans bothers you.
but you find your lumber dealer mas

only needs a few minor changes ana
the whole family pronounce 1t per-
feet. Then follow wonderful spring
days of building. It's hard to stay at
the office when you know every otner
member of your family is over at the
new house.
Is it fair to deprive your famliS OF
all this-just because you've never
taken the time to find out now easy
it would be to have your own nome,
and how cheap in comparison with
renting?
Why do you go on year after year
paying money into your landlord
pocket? He's becoming rich. But what
are you or your family getting out
of it? The rent you've paid out since
You We're married would have paid
for a home and all you nave Is
bunch of rent receipts
You know how much they'd ike a
home of their very own. Would you
build them one if the way were made
clear to spontaneously?
Buy as You Bought Bonds.
You bought liberty bonds and paid
for them in spite of the high cost of
living. Couldn't you buy lot in the
same way? 1t would be a bond of
future liberty from landlords.
When you own lot the house will
come easily. Go to the local building
and loan company and borrow on the
lot and the house as it is being con-
structed.
If you have good lot and wish to
build a substantial home. go to your
banker. If the bank doesn't handle
such loans he can put you in touch
with public spirited individuals who
are glad to advance money for new
homes.

Amliation Optional.

In the federal home loan bank plan
the affiliation of an association would
be entirely optional and an associa-
ton which does not join lin the bank
ing plan would not be affected In any
way by the new system. The BUSH
ness of the banks would be conducted
by boards of directors elected by
member associations. 1t is the purpose
to provide for the supervision of the
entire system Of banks by such fed
eral authority as Congress may ap-
prove. This federal supervision
would be exercised at the expense of
the government. as is the case with
the federal farm loan system and the
federal reserve bank system.
The movement to establish a system
of federal home loan banks was start
ed when the after the-war revival of
building in all parts of the country
demonstrated the need of method by
which money could be realized on the
longtime mortgages held by the
building and loan associations.

ISOLATION to the bank. but would re-
main the property of the association
which would continue to collect the
regular payments from the borrowing
members whose mortgages have thus
been deposited just the same as be-
fore the deposit was made. If a Dor
rover whose mortgage had thus been
hypothetical pays off his loan in full,
the association would recall the mort
gage from the bank. either by turning
over the cash value of the mortgage
to the bank to be applied on the debt
of the association, or by depositing
another mortgage of equal value.
The bonds of the federal home loan
banks would not draw more than D
per cent interest per annum and 1t IS
believed that they can be sold at a
lower drawing rate, possibly or 4 12
per cent The association would pay
to the banks interest on the amounts
advanced at the same rate which the
bonds bear. an additional one-half per
cent per annum being allowed to COW
er the expense of maintaining the
banks. Associations would make
semt-annual payments on the money
borrowed, thus amort.zing their
debts. 1t Is suggested that the bonds
should run twenty years. associations
being permitted to repay their loans
a any time within that period

 He saw Bert Dean go into the King hotel with . suit case about eleven o'clock Monday morning. and also saw some of us old tanks flocking thitherwards to get our copper Innings fusel oiled. and from sheer perversity mixed with envy he rushed in ahead of us and captured the source of the stream of joy. Just a few min- utes more and the sidewalks of the town would have been whirl- ing around like Charley Bells stool did and we could carry an arm in . sling.

Let's Vote The Limit

Within a short time there will be held in e ach of the 82 districta of Franklin county the most i'm portant election with which the people are concerned. This elec- tion is important because at that time will be elected in each of the several districts one or more school directors. These newly elected men together with others previously elected will perform the responsible duty of directing the school forces of their com- munities, employing teachers etc. Electors should See to it that progressive. wide-awake men are selected for dirsc tors. But possibly more important yet than the personnel of directors is the matter of the local tax levy.
 Now, l a m sure that there is not . single district in Franklin county that does not need the maximum levy of 12 mills. Of course. there are few districts % favorably situated as to pro- proximity to railroads or oth CT valuable property that they are able to maintain an average school on five or seven mills. But l know of no schools that need no improvement. Your child is entitled to the best of teachers and to decent equip ment. The success or failure of the school life of your child will in large measure determine his ultimate success or failure.
 There should be a score or more of new school houses built in this county this year. The equipment that sufficed a few decades ago is not in keeping with the standards of today. Just as the automobile has sup planted the OK cart. new and better school equipment is need. cd. The time is ripe for the in- troduction of vocational training into our school. The federal government has appropriated funds for this purpose. available to districts meeting certain con. ditions as to number of teachers, apparatus etc.

 The good people of Fran kiln County have acquitted them selves nobly in the matter of support of war work activities.
