MINES MERELY RENTED Mexico Really Owns Land But Pers mits Minerals to Be Extracted Un- der Tmports, Carranza’s Attitude. El Paso, Tex., Sept. 29.—‘Private ownership of mineral property in Mexico is, in fact, nothing more than a species of rent of the sub-soil for which the title holder has to pay the nation, the true proprietor of the sub-soil.”” This extract from a public state- ment by Mexico’s secretary of fi- nance, received here today by Mexi- can consulate, presents the official at- titude of the Carranza government toward owners of Mexican mines whether Mexicans or foreigners. The statement is issued in defense of Car- runza's decree of May 1 of this year which, under penalty of confiscation, lays imposts and working conditions on the mines that have caused for- eign owners to make strong repre- sentations to their home governments. These complaints have been carried to Atlantic City, where the joint com- iuission is sitting, The statement makes clear that the Carranza gov- ernment will- not consider special pleas to escape the effects of the de- cree, and adds: “According to arti- ¢le 11 of the mineral law of Novem- ber 25, 1909, now in force, title to mineral lands is obtained from the ration, the real proprietor, through deeds issued by the secretary of the interior. The said title does . not grant an absolute right, but a limited proprietorship revertable to the state.” The theory of the law, according to the statement, is that title is condi- tional on the payment of imposts, or merely “grants of privilege to exploit land which primarily belongs to the nation.” Annulment of title is excused as the only efficacious way of dealing with owners who fail to comply with the decree or to operate their hold- ings. It is pointed out that a law con- fiscating mines for non-payment of imposts was passed in Mexico as far back as 1892, STILL IN THE AIR. No Information Forthcoming ‘World’s Baseball Championship.

FARM LOAN BANKS ARE BADLY NEEDED So Reports Secretary McAdoo | Aiter Tour of Inspection Washington , Sept. 29.—Secretary McAdoo and the other members of | the Federal Farm Loan Board, who returned to Washington yesterday af- ter a tour of the country to ascertain the feelings of farmers and business men towards the new system of farm | loans and to determine the location of farm loan banks, will start out again in a few days to conduct hear- ings in the south, the Atlantic states, | and the southwest. The members re- ported satisfactory results in consult- ing the men most concerned in the work. They said that they found in- terest on farm mortgages rafking from § per cent. to 60 per cent per an- num. The hearings were conducted in States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Mich- igan, Iowa, SJith Dakota, Minneso- ta, North Dakota, Montana, Wash- ington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. These hearings, members of the board said, were largely attended by farmers and representatives of farm | organizations, representatives of agi cultural colleges in the various states, bankers, business men, and colnty agents or farm agents operating under | the Smith-Lever Extension act. Need for Banks Emphasized. Board members said also that the need for the Federal farm loan law was emphasized by the inequalities in interest rates disclosed. Tl.ese rates ran from 5 per cent. per annum to 5 per cent. per month; and, even where interest rates of 5 or 6 per cent. were charged, commissions were exacted from a flat rate of 1 to 2 per cent. to a rate of from 1 to 3 per cent. per annum. Where five- year mortgages were made the com- missions, at 3 per cent. per annum, amounted to 15 per cent. of the prin- cipal sum borrowed, and this amount was deducted when the loan was ef- fected, so that the borrower got the use of only 85 per cent. of the prin- cipal and paid at the rate of 6 per cent. per' annum on the full amount of the loan. In addition, the borrower paid for abstract of title, preparation of legal papers, and recording fees. “It was shown in every state vis- ited,” sald members of the board in a statement,. “that even the indus- trious farmer of modest means who had only a small farm, but who could offdr unquestionable security, was un- able to get farm credit on any terms. Nearly all loan companies or cor- porations have an arbitrary rule not | to lend on farms below a certain size; not to lend more than an ar- bitrary amount per acre, no matter what the real value of the acre may be, and not to lend less than a cer- tain amount, $1%000 being the lowest limit. In many states it was found that the farmer was never certain that he could effect a loan, however good the mortgage security, and that delays were serious, and frequently Long Time Credits Wanted. “The investigation showed a wide- spread and imperative necessity for the long-time amortization loans at reasonable, rates of interest, (not to exceed 6 per cent.) provided for by the Farm Loan act, and it was every- where conceded that long-time cred- its of this character will greatly | stimulate agricultural development, increase farm ownerships, discourage the growing evil of farm tenantry, which has already assumed alarming proportions in some of the states, in- crease farm productivity and en- | hance the prosperity of the farmer, and thereby the general prosperity throughout the country. “In several states it was called to the attention of the board that joint | stock land banks were being organ- ized by questionable means by stock salesmen or promoters, who are tak- ing advantage of the farmers’ desire for loans on the amtotized plan to sell stock to farmers. Farmers are advised that there is no necessity for subscribing to thd stock of any pri- vate corporation for the purpose of securing such a loan, and are cau- tioneds not to do 'so except upon an | investment basis. The board suggests that farmers make no investments in such land banks until they have first inquired of the Federal Farm Loan Board at Washington as to the char- acter and responsibility of such or- ganizations and of the men who are organizing them. No joint stock.land | banks can he organized under the Federal act, except with the approval of the Federal Farm Loan Board.” No indication will be given as to the boundaries of the Farm Loan dis- tricts or the location of the banks until the completion of the hearings. It is expected, however, that the Fed- cral land banks will be organized and opened for business in January, 1917. $1,500 FOR WAR RELIEF.
