MARCH 23 ... 1917 FEDERAL FARM LOANS. The following article, contributed by the Kansas State Bankers' Association to "Bank Notes," a publication issued by the U. S. Bank Note company, will be of interest coming as it does from the other Bide of the fence. No fur ther comment is necessary than to say that Federal Farm Loans arc now pos sible of obtainment by those who de sire them and are qualified to secure them. The article follows: "Go out and see your neighbors and find nine other farmers who also want to borrow money and are ready to say jUBt how much they need and what they want the money for. "These nine neighbors and yourself must agree to borrow n total of tin, 000. Remember that unless it is that much none of you can borrow a cent. "Call n meeting of these ten farmers who need money, organize yourselves into a 'National Farm Loan Associa tion,' and elect officers. "You then appoint a committee of three to appraise the ten farms. "The committee reports its appraise ment, and the various blanks are then filled In and sent to the Farm Loan Bank. "Remember that if your farm is appraised at $4,000, you can borrow $2,000, and if the improvements are worth 1,600, you can only borrow MO. "No this appraisement doesn't settle it. In due course of time a fed eral appraiser a sleek looking gentle man, will come out and make a second appraisement. "Perhaps after driving around and viewing the ten farms this federal ap praiser (hub that one of the farms was appraised too high. "That being the case, under the law the committee muat meet again and make a new appraisement, bringing the amount down to the limit set by the federal appraiser. "Perhaps just at this time one of the ten" men dies. This is hard luck all around. For nine men cannot form one of those associations, and so you must go and find another man who wants U get it loan uul the whole pro cess must be repeated. "But wait a minute. The Federal Land Bank sends word that their attor ney finds a defect in the title to Bill Jones' land. The title must be correct ed through the court, or else you must find another man to take Bill Jones' place. For you cannot get your loan unless all ten of the titles are perfect. "But be patient. In a few more weeks the matter is straightened out and your loan of8,000 on your 111,000 farm, and your loan of $400 on your $2,000 improvements- this is the limit you can get are approved. You are to get a loan of $11,400. "But you understan 1 you don't get the $11,400 in cash. No, you are re quired to subscribe 5 per cent of it for slock in the Farm Bank. So you only get in cash 8,830. "You understand, that this $170 in stock in the bank may or may not draw interest that all depends on whether the stock earns anything. "You also understand that this $170 in stock had a 'double liability', just like other bank stock. If your neigh bors fail you may not only have to lose the $170, but you may have to dig up $170 more. But cheer up, the prob ability is that won't happen. "As to the rate of interest, there is nothing in the law to show that it is to he below (I per cent. There is no assurance that it will be below that. "No, you cannot put a second mort gage on the farm, and you cannot sell it unless the Farm Loan Board grants the special permission to you to do it. "You muat pay off the loan In reg ular installments, and cannot make any payments before five years. "If you should die your heirs must assume the obligations in sixty days or the mortgage will be foreclosed. "In case of default in payment the mortgage will he foreclosed in thirty daya. "And you say you want the loan in order to buy feed for your stock' Well there is nothing doing. The money cannot be used for that purpose, no matter how good the security you offer may be. "These are a few of the main con ditions of the law." Athena possesses an ideal site for a small natatorium at the city park, and all that stands between the acquisition of a public swimming pool and bathing conveniences is the want of a leader or leaders to take the matter in hand. In asmuch as Athena has the distinction of being paired with Ukiah as one of the two towns in Umatilla county which finds no need fi r a commercial associa tion, a get-together club, or some organization Jto foster civic improve ment awl commercial advancement, perhaps the logical thing to do on the part of those, who recognize the needs of a natatorium in Athena, would be to take the matter up with the mayor. There is need for a public swimming pool and Athena alone would not be re quired to shoulder the costs if the money were raised on the subscription plan. The farming community is inter-, ested as Well as the citizens of Athena and following the methods pursued by Helix in the construction of her cred itable natatorium, the cost would be in finitesimal, compared with the advan tages derived. A boost or two, the circulation of a subscription paper, and the matter is accomplished. The friends of the road bonds produce figures showing that auto license charges will take care of the interest on the $6,000,000 bonded indebtedness and retire the principal after twenty- five years. This being so the road tax as at the present time in force would be applied to improving the roads in the outlying districts which heretofore have been neglected because the trunk roads absorbed all the funds. The more the bonding proposition is looked into and its advantageous features studied, less cause for opposition is found. The mere fact that the auto-owner UBes the public highway more than any other vehicle owner, and that it is b3 cause his machine demands better tho roughfares, and that he must pay for this demand and is willing to pay for it, precludes any doubt that the bonds will carry strong at the special elec tion in June.
