THE BEMIDIJI VOLUME 11. NUMBER 16. FARMERS MAY SE- CURE CHEAP LOANS Ohio Introduces Bill For Cheaper Farm Loans. GOV. TO BORROW FOR FARMER for Long Terms at Low Interest. “MINNESOTA IS SEEING LIGHT”| Is Taking Steps to Call Back School Land Moneys From Eastern Markets. Washington, May 16.—While the 'govemment is making an investiga- tion of the forms of agricultural credit in Europe, Representative E. R. Rathrick, of Ohio has introduced in the house a bill which seems to embody all the essentials for getting cheaper money for the farmer. The most successful credit system in Europe is the co-operative plan adapted from the Raiffeisen banking system of Germany. Here the only asset given to secure loans is the col- lective word of poor but honest men, each man bound by the terms of mem- bership in the Raiffeisen bank to un- fellow members. That this pledge, given under such circumstances, is as good as a bond in the money markets of Europe is shown by the fact that the society money at low rates of interests, and that losses due to defalcation have been insignificant. The same result can be reached if the government borrows the money on low interest bearing bonds and loans it again to farmers on the se- curity of their lands higher rate. The farm lands thus pledged would be the security for the government bonds. The government would simply be actnig as trustee for the farming population in securing loans at cheap rates. “It would be necessary for the gov- ernment to relend to the farmers at an advance of only half of one per cent, to pay all the expenses of the system and return a profit to the treasury besides. This profit could be devoted to the improvement of rural life. “The state of Minnesota is seeing the light. This money, instead of being used to encourage farming, was sent to the eastern money markets to be loaned. The state is now going about it to get this money back from her farmers. “Wisconsin is also considering a sfstem of borrowing on state bonds bond sales to farmers at low rates.” Mr. Rathrick thinks that cheaper " money for farmers will result not only in increased farming prosperity, but in creased prosperity for towns and cities. high rates from farmers,” will seek industry, which offers the next highest returns. and raise wages by increasing the de- Representative E.
