FARM CREDIT BILL A bill providing for a natural sys tem of farm land banks has been introduced in congress. This measure is tentatively the administration bill for the establish ment of a national rural credit sys tem !t represents the results of the labors of a United States commission appointed by President Wilson last April to investigate the rural credit system in European countries and report thereon. The bill In the form Introduced has not the unqualified indorsement 0 the house banking and currency committee. It represents in the main the views of the committee and go far as the measure's general prin ciples are concerned It has the ap proval of President Wilson. President Wilson has been positive upon one point.in regard to a rural credit system for the United States. He is opposed to any scheme by which the United States government would become directly the creditor of the farmer. This view is in en tire accord with the views of the majority members of the house com mittee on banking and currency. The bill, as introduced, provides for the creation, operation and supervision of a national farm loan bank system through which the farm land banks to be established under the terms of the act, or to be created through the federation of existing state farm mortgage con cerns and farmers' banks, shall be come the new rural credit system of the United States. The bill provides for the organiza tion under national charter of national farm land banks by 10 or more persons. All laws relating to these banks are to be executed by the commissioner of farm land banks, who shall head a special bureau in the treasury department. The commissioner Is to be appoint ed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate, at a sal ary of $6000 a year. There Is to be a deputy commissioner, with a sal ary of $3500. Two Kinds of Bunks The bill provides for the establish ment of two kinds of farm land Banks—co-operative and profit-mak ing. If organized on the co-oper ative plan it is provided that no stockholder shall own more than 10 per cent of the share capital. The dividends are limited to the pre vailing interest rates of the commun ity, any excess earnings to be dis tributed among patrons of the bank in proportion to the amount of busi ness done with the bank. Shares of stock in the co-operative banks are to have a par value of $25 each., A minimum capitalization of each bank is fixed at $10,000. If the bank is not organized on the co-operative plan a 0-year charter is provided. The bank is to have power to make contracts, to sue and be sued, and to be under the control of a board of directors hav ing not fewer than five nor more than nine members. The specific powers given to land banks are to accept and pay Inter est on deposits not exceeding 50 per cent of the paid up capital and sur plus; to receive deposits of postal savings funds; to make loans for not more than 35 years maturity 'on farm lands anywhere within the state in which the bank operates, provided that the farm loan shall not exceed 50 per cent of the value or improved farm lands or 40 per cent of unimproved lands. Every loan must be reduced by an nual or semiannual payments on the principal if the loan is made for more that five years. The bank la empowered to issue, sell and trade In its own collateral trust bonds se cured by first mortgages or first deeds of trust. The interest on loans may not exceed interest on bonds by more than one per cent. As rap- Idly as amortization payments are made bonds are to be called in and Paid or purchased in the open mar ket and retired. Bonds may not be issued by the banks against mortgages running 1088 than five years. The capital stock surplus and deposits may be used temporarily for the purchase of mortgages or bonds. The banks are permitted to do a general banking business, including the purchase and sale of gold bul- Hon, the collection of notes, draft 3 and bills of exchange, the discount of commercial and other short time Paper. Co-operative banks may carry on for their stockholders all business now permitted to national banks, under rules and regulations pre scribed by the commissioner. No bank may issue bonds to ex ed 15 times the amount of its capital and surplus. The amortiza tion payments must be sufficient to ray interest charges, the administra tion charges of the bank and to re tire the entire obligation at its ma turity. No national farm land bank may 'end money on faith or credit or on the assignment of Its own bank stock ° the stock of any other farm land °ank. it may lend one Individual a sum not exceeding 20 per cent of its capital and surplus. Profit Making Banks | The shares of stock in the profit making banks shall have _ par value of $100, each stockholder being en titled to one vote for each of his shares. Double liability is made mandatory with the provision that stockholders may assume a largei liability by a two-thirds vote. This permission is intended to permit co operative banks to improve their credit by assuming, it: necessary, the unlimited liability of German land banks. National land bank bonds are made available as security for postal savings funds, as legal Investments for time deposits of national banks, and as security for loans made by national banks to national farm land banks. National banks may so lend money to the extent of 25 per Cent of their capital and surplus or one-third of their time deposits. The value of farm lands on which loans are to be made is to be deter mined by an appraisement commit tee composed of three members of the board of directors and appointed by that board. National farm land banks are re quired to maintain a reserve of five per cent of time deposits and two per cent on checking deposits. This reserve may be held in cash or in balances with other banks. The banks are not permitted to operate branches, but are allowed to maintain loan agencies throughout the state in which they operate. They may maintain sales agents for the sale of their bonds within the state or outside it. This provision is ex pected to permit the establishment of many agencies in New York City.
