20 existence az ute resurr or a long
landing and nationwide need was
told in the United States court at
Kansas City by former Secretary of
The Treasury William G. McAdoo. The
right and duty OF the federal govern
ment to aid and encourage agricul-
ture was told by former Justice
Charles r. Hughes and former Attor-
ney General of the United States
George W. Wickersham.
Interest Rates Reduced.
AS brought out by Mr. McAdoo. the
farm loan act was passed by congress
TO provide ample funds for agricul-
rural development and agricultural op-
erations. Mr.. McAdoo. who was sec
rotary of the treasury at the time this
law was passed said that it was the
intent of congress to provide:
1. Plenty of money for the farmers.
z. Low rates of interest.
g. Long and convenient terms of
credit
Mr.. McAdOO showed how this act al
ready had reduced rates of interest in
many and extensive sections of the
United States and had so stabilized in
terest that rates were now almost uni
form throughout the United States.
He showed how the federal land
banks were created in order that the
farmer of small means might have
credit and borrow money at as low
rates and on as easy terms as the man
OF larger means.
Protects Small Borrower.
He told also how the Joint stock
land banks were created to protect the
farmer Of small means i'm his right to
low rates and easy terms. He said
that without the joint stock land banks
there was grave danger that the heavy
borrowers would absorb all the money
which the federal land banks could
assemble and thus leave the small Dor
rover in much the same condition as
before.
The/farm loan act also has operated
to make more generous everywhere
the terms on which farm mortgage
loans are made. The amortization
plan makes ii possible for the farmer
to borrow the money he needs and to
pay it back in small annual or semi
annual installments as he is able TO
take it out of the soil.
Tax Exemption Necessary.

Former Secretary of the Treas

Court How Law Operates.
PART OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Sustalns constitutionaIIty Of Law
Which Does for Agriculture What
National Banks and Federal Re
servo Act Do for Commerce
and Industry
POINTS. FROM M'ADoo'S
KANSAS CITY ARGUMENT.

Successful farming is basic to
the general welfare. Conditions
which denied to the farmer
ample funds for operation and
adequate credit facilities for the
purchase of land and improve
ments were of grave national
concern.
Therefore, a rural credits sys-
TEN was devised as a part of the
financial system of the nation in
order that the great industry of
agriculture, the source of the ma
tons food supply, might hGpve an
equal chance with other lines of
business and industry.
Federal land banks were Gre
ated to provide credit and money
for the borrowers of small means
plenty of money at low rates
of interest and on longtime
credit. These banks were formed
by the government subscribing
most of the capital stock.
Joint stock land banks were
created to provide credit and
money for farmer borrowers of
larger means-in order that the
large borrowers might not take
all the money the farm land
banks had to lend and thus leave
the small borrower without
funds. These banks are private
ly owned, but are operated I'M
der government supervision and
are subject to all the essential
restrictions placed upon the fed
eral land banks.
To make farm loan bonds at
tractive to investors. and to
make it possible for these bonds
to compete with municipal bonds.
the government made them ex-
empt from all federal, state and
LOCAL taxes. Without tax ex-
emption, the whole farm loan
system would have failed abso-
lutely.
