FARM MORTGAGE BONDS SAFE Experience of Germany With Joint 8tock Land Banks Bonds Is Re-j assuring to American Invest-! ing Public "Give the farm loan system, in Its present form, a chance. I worked for It for years before It was enucted. It bas not had a chance to fully develop on account of the short time, it has been In operation and on account of war conditions. Leave the system alone long enough for It to prove Its worth." This was the appeal made by John L. Coulter, dean of the West Virginia Agricultural college, to the United States senate committee on banking and currency.

There was pending a bill, commonly known as the Smoot bill, which, if passed, would make farm mortgage bonds subject to the Income tax. This tax on the bonds would result In an increase In the Interest rate on farm loans and also would drive the joint stock land banks out of business. Wants Both Types of Banks. Dean Coulter believes there Is a distinct service for the Joint stock land banks to perform and a distinct service for the federal land banks to perform. Be believes that the bonds of both banks should be exempt from John Lee Coulter.

taxation. In a letter to the senate committee he said "It will be a grievous blunder to repeal the tax-exemption clause as applied to either the Joint stock or the federal land banks and It would be a serious blow to the' system to drive either type of these land banks out of business. The two types of banks are demanded by the Investing public and are demanded also by the borrowing public. "When the original act was passing through its various stages In congress, we fully Investigated the viewpoint of the Investors. We found that many who are Interested in farm mortgages or loans on farm lands said: 'We would prefer the bonds of the federal land banks because they would represent the Joint or co-operative liabilities of scores of small farmers, and they are, after all, the backbone of the nation.

When they fall we are all lost' We found about an equal number who insisted 'We want bonds Issued by joint stock banks with double liabilities, with limited right to issue bonds (only 15 times their stock compared with 20 times for the other) and with bonds based upon farms of indi vidual, large-scale farmers where brain supervises brawn. Farm Bonis Safe Investment "It was clear to us that there were two classes of farmers to serve, those who wanted to form associations, and those who wanted to 'go It "The two classes of farmers and the two classes of Investors and, therefore, two sources qf fnnds for the developments agriculture, all looked toward more food for our great urban centers. which, if it would not mean lower prices, would at least mean that prices would not go so high as otherwise would be the case. "You may be Interested as to the situation In foreign countries during the war. 'Even In Germany during the war, the two types of banks (the Joint stock and the co-operative banks) con tinued to thrive side by side.

I am told that the bonds of the stock banks sold better than' government bonds. while the co-operative land banks (landschaften) Jbought large blocks of government bonds. In other words, governments may come and go, may rise and fall and change form, and government securities may be accepted by the new government or may be disclaimed, but bonds based upon farm mortgages are as good as the land Itself, which Is as enduring the world cjod more permanent than fife Itself."
