What does “THE CUP OF 491- | FEDERAL COURT OPENS MONDAY THE GREATER NUMBER OF CASES TO BE HEARD ARE LIQUOR OFFENDERS. When the fall term of the federal district court opens at Moscow on December 8, Judge Frank S. Dietrich will be con- fronted with an unusually large number of cases, in fact, it is expected that more hearings will be conducted at this term than at any time for the past several years. Virtually all of the defendants will face the court on liquor charges. The federal prohibition agents in the north-central part of Idaho have been exceedingly busy for sever-| ed f. al months past and their activi- ties have resulted in almost 100 arrests, possibly more and pos- sibly a few less, the exact num- ber not yet being tabulated. Many of those involved in cases coming before the court are persons well known in their respective communities, and on this account great interest will center about the federal building in Moscow for a few weeks starting with December 8. Among those who are to re-| po: port for grand jury duty in the Federal Court at Moscow, Mon- day are: M. M. Belknap, Cottonwood. Frank Erwin, Craigmont. Ivan Griffith, Kooskia. James H.

THOSE FAILING TO PAY ONLY A SMALL PER CENT Bank Must Have Its Money When Due to Function Pro- perly Says Martzen, Senator William E. Borah’s letter to President D, G. O’Shea, of the Federal Land Bank, of Spokane, dated November 138, and published in the Cottonwood Chronicle, November 23, 1923 brings the following comment from one of our readers: In this letter the senator eri- ticises the methods used by the Federal Land Bank in collecting the past due amortization pay- ments on the farmers loans, pos- sibly not realizing, as the case was last summer that the Fed- eral Land Bank of Spokane had over 3000 past due accounts. A good many threatening letters had to be written and a special collector employed from Wash- ington, D. C. The Federal Land Bank, of Spokane, in order to be of any lasting benefit to the farmers has to collect its interest promp- tly in order to meet its obliga- tion to the bondholder of the farmers’ mortgages. Should they fail to collect their interest they cannot pay the interest on the bonds against them and the investing public certainly should and would not buy bonds on which the interest payments were slow and doubtful. Many people have the errone- ous impression that the Federal Farm Loan system is owned by the government or that the gov- ernment furnishes the money for their loans. The small as well as the large investors buy these farm loan bonds on account of the excellent security back of them and their tax exempt fea- tures. The management of the farm loan system is under gov- ernment supervision, therefore these bonds are easily sold to the investors and at a low rate of interest, and the farmers are in- dividually and collectively great- ly interested in the prompt pay- ment of his and his neighbor’s amortization payments in this way. Individually, because by prompt payments of his amorti- zation payments he pays his loan off by only paying 51% per cent interest and only 8414 per cent of the principal sum bor- rowed. He has 8414 years time to pay the principal sum or only one per cent per annum for thirty-four and a half years and his mortgage is paid in full. Collectively, by prompt pay- ments, because the 5 per cent of stock he is obliged to take with his loan, and on which there is an annual dividend paid of six per cent. This dividend is held back until all. members of an association are paid up. For example: The Cotton- wood National Farm Loan Asso- ciation has over 140 members with a total amount of loans of $800,000; 5 per cent of this amount is $40,000, in Federal Loan Stock; 6 per cent dividend on this stock is $2400 per an- num to be divided among the stockholders of our association. Now if two or three members of our association fail to pay their installments promptly their de- linquent payments are charged against this dividend. Senator Borah’s efforts in this instance are certainly well meant and appreciated by the western farmers, but put the proposition up to 98 per cent of the members of the Cotton- wood National Farm Loan Asso- ciation that make their pay- ments promptly, and are willing to endorse the action of the Fed- eral Land Bank, of Spokane, in- sisting on prompt payments, or their desire and willingness to sacrifice their dividends to a pos- sible two per cent that does not and take’ their financial troubles to Senator Borah. | Felix Martzen. / RENTS MAE 8 i | DINNER AND BAZAAR, | The Ladies Aid will give their | annual bazaar in the I.
