FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM GETS
ENDORSEMENT IN WASHINGTON
CONVENTION.
TO GIVE RAILWAYS AID
THE CROP FINANCING CORPORA
TIoN PROJECT SHAPED BY
BANKERS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Blanket In
dorsement of the federal reserve sys-
TEN, coupled with a pledge to aid the
National Railway Equipment Corpora
ton, organized to help the carriers OBJ
tain equipment, marked the conclusion
of group meetings of the American
Bankers Association convention.
AS an outgrowth of the convention,
however, bankers and others from cot
ton states took steps preliminary to
the organization of a $12,0O0,0OO crop
export financing corporation to meet
the situation which led to the numer-
Gus appeals from cotton growers for
government relief. The corporation
will be formed under the Edge act and
start operations with an initial paid in
capital and surplus of $6,00O,O00.
The federal reserve system was CIV
en- unstinted praise by the national
bankers group in resolutions, while
the approval of the equipment corpor-
alton and the pledge to go before state
legislatures where necessary to OBJ
tain revision of laws prohibiting invest
ment of trust funds in such securities
was voted by the savings bank section.
Endorsement of the federal reserve
system, which included approval of its
administration, brought the national
bankers again in sharp opposition to
the stand taken by the state bankers,
who denounced several phases of the
reserve boards work. All resolutions
adopted in sectional meetings Will be
considered by the association commit
tee and final action be taken by the
convention as a whole.
The question of par clearance, with
which the state bankers dealt In their
section on resolutions, was passed over.
The special committee considering it
reported progress" and was instructed
to continue its work. Its chairman, NJ.
J. Bowling of Olivia, Mimi, however,
said the only remedy he saw for the
country bankers who favor a collection
charge on checks was amendment OF
the federal reserve act.
The crop financing corporation pro-
ject took shape at an informal meeting
of the several hundred bankers and
representatives of cotton interests. A
special committee presented a favora-
BILE report.

 Can Pay Principal Any Time.
 Under the farm loan act, the bor- rower may pay off his loan before the expiration of the B years, if he chooses. He is permitted to pay off any part of his debt on any interest payment date, after five years, without previous notice.
 1T want to get into the record this plea from the farmers of the West. I want to say that this law in its pres ent effectiveness is necessary in order to keep the farmer on the farm. In the corn belt, which is the garden spot or the nation, the population in 1910 was less than in 1880. At the same time the cities of that corn belt have increased their population by 150 per cent. You have got to do something to keep the farmer on the farm. You have got to give him some benefits. He is the only man in this nation who has had no particular benefit from the government.
 We are now in the most critical pe- riod of the worlds history, and if this law increases production-and 1t does it surely should net be interfered with for the next three or four years"

 When Senator Gronna asked Mr. Ramsey if it was necessary for the people of Montana to have a joint stock land bank in order to promote agriculture, MT. Ramsey replied:
 Tt Is absolutely necessary in order to get money at 6 per cent. I want to say to you that the mortgage com- panies in our state have no rate less than per cent and that they are get ting 8, 9 and 10 per cent. We have filed exhibits with your committee showing that the mortgage houses are getting 10 per cent, and that some times they are exercising usury above 10per cent, getting a commission of 10 per cent. This is the situation in Mon tana and that is why am pleading for 6 per cent money to develop the state"

 Working of Farm Loan Act.
RELIEF FROM HIGH INTEREST
Amortlzed Loans of Joint Stock Banks Give Montana Farmers Six Per Cent Money With 33 Years for
 Payment of Principal.

"For the first time in their lives farmers can now feel comfortable when they put mortgage on their farm"
 George l.. Ramsey, president of the Montana Joint Stock Land bank at Helena, Mont, made this statement when he appeared before the senate committee on banking and currency to protest against the Shoot bill, which would put a tax upon farm mortgage bonds issued by joint stock land banks.
 He said in part:
 How Longtime Loans Are Paid.
 T have had farmers say to me, This is the first time have felt comfortable in my life,' when the papers were signed and the money turned over. The reason for this statement was that heretofore they had looked forward to a five-year renewal of their mortgage subject to the favor of a mortgage broker and subject also to the pay ment of a commission. They have said to me: Today I have my loan placed for B years and now I can see plainly that I shall be able to pay this debt It Is wonderfully benefcent provision of the farm loan act which
