FARMERS TO OWN BIGLAND BANKS

George W. Wickersham Tells How Federal Institutions Will Be Taken Over. TO BUY GOVERNMENT STOCK Eventually the Borrowers Will Acquire Complete Ownership of Banks Established Under Federal Farm Loan Act. That the federal land banks and the Joint stock laud banks are important .supplements to the national bank system and the federal reserve system was emphasized by former Attorney General George? W. Wickersham In the eral court at Kansas City, where he appeared with Charles E. Hughes and W. G. McAdoo to defend the constitutionality of the farm loan act. Mr. Wickersham, who with Mr. McAdoo, appeared as attorneys for the Joint stock land banks, made very clear the exact service which the federal land banks perform and their exact relation to the financial system fltthe country. He also made clear in what respects the joint stock land banks differ from the federal land banks. Protecting Small Borrower’s Rights. Both types of banks (federal and joint stock) were created by the government to provide aid for the agricultural Interests of the country. Mr. Wickeraham said that the government with wisdom and singular comprehension, had reached out to take care of every element of borrowers. Therefore t ho federal land baoks were crewed ttf provide credit for small borrowers, and the joint stock land banks were created to provide a similar agency through wplch the larger borrowers among farmers might secure ample funds, without having to rely upon the funds which had been assembled for the use of the small borrowers, and without danger of depriving the small borrower of the very money which had been assembled for his particular use. He pointed out how in the case of the establishment offederal land banks the government had subscribed to the stock of these banks as a temporary aid to the particular class of borrowers it was intended these banks should accommodate. But, he said, this was only a temporary aid and that the government had provided that the stock which had been subscribed by the government should be taken up eventually by the borrowers so that in the end, in a very short time, the small borrowers will own their own banks, that is, that the federal land banks will be privately owned in the end even as the joint stock land banks are now privately owhed.

Federal Banks for Associations. “The federal land banks do not lend to individuals,” said Mr. Wickersham, “they lend to organizations of borrowers, who together must desire at least $20,000, and who must organize themselves into a farm loan association, and they must subscribe to 5 per cent of the amount of the loan which they seek, In the stock of the federal land bank, as a condition to securing the loan. “Provision is made that when these banks are set up, if within a limited time subscriptions are not made to the stock by others, the federal government, through the treasury department, shall take up the* minimum amount of stock with which they are authorized to start business, to-wit, $750,000.00. Then, as they proceed in their operation, as they loan to these associations, and as these associations subscribe to their stock, by and by, bv the operations of the system, the stock which the government has taken is retired, and ultimately those banks come into the control of their stockholders. Farmers to Own Banks. “The federal government, as a stockholder, will pass out, and if the system be successful, after a certain length of time, the land banks will be owned by the various loan associations which are borrowing through the land banks, and they will go ahead on the Impetus of private ownership. “Having thus provided a», system whereby this great s«hpme shall be launched and become once operative and money shah become available to the farmers desiring it, the act also provides that there be created a different class of banks, namely, the joint stock land banks. “Following the analogy of the national banks, the act provides that from the outset, those banks shall be organized by private individuals. The stock shall be subscribed by private individuals, and when $250,000,00 is subscribed, then the bank may begin its operations. x - Joint Stock Banks Controlled. “Since the enactment of the law, 27 of such banks have been organized in different parts of the country, and they are set forth in the petition, and their aggregate capital is something more ; than $5,000,000. 4 “Now despite the fact that those banks are privately owned, from the beginning of their operations, they and their operations are subjected to control. They are Invested withthe same powers, they are made subject to the same liability as are given to and impoaed upon the federal land banks. [

Wickersham, former Attorney General of the United States, is actively enlisted in the Na-tion-Wide Campaign of the Episcopal Church which is being waged for a more practical, efficient religion. Discussing the awakening of the people, as one of the outcomes of the world war, and of their dawning consciousness of power and influence in shaping the world’s affairs, Mr. Wickersham says: "It is distinctly a church function to lead in this. The politicians can’t do it It isn’t a situation in which partisan passion should play any part It is a human problem, and the part which the church must play is that of getting down to a human basis in its relations with men and women and approaching them not only from their spiritual, but from their material side as well.'* ,w have had too much religion that goes over the heads of the people. We haven’t been practical and we haven’t been efficient The religion of the new era must recognize and advocate that men and women are rational human beings, entitled to fair and adequate compensation for their toil, and the blessings of light, air, sunshine, flowers: ample / hours in which to enjoy all these and stimulating amusements. That is at once good economics and good .religion.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY'S OLDEST ALUMNUS

One of the interesting reminescences in connection with the Centennial celebration of Indiana University scheduled for next spring relates to John Maxwell Cowan, now

a resident of Springfield, Mo., who is the oldest living alumnus of the state institution. He was born on Dec. 6, 1821, in the northern part of the city of Indianapolis, when the settlement was housed in a few log cabins. Mr. Cowan was probably the first male white child born in the capital city. Mr. Cowan was graduated from Indiana University with the class of 1845. He is now at his ninety-eighth milestone, but he is in remarkable physical condition, except that his sight is rather imperfect.

“MOVIES” AID INSTRUCTORS AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY

Bloomington, Ind. “Teaching the young idea to shoot” by means of motion pictures is the latest innovation on the campus of Indiana University. Under the supervision of the local unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, military training in the university includes target practice,, both indoors and on the rifles and ammunition. Considerable difficulty has been found in getting the cadets to handle the rifles correctly. This has been partially solved by the introduction of motion pictures by Major O’Brien, commandant. Junior and senior companies of the cadets have been given this instruction. Motion pictures, furnished by the war department, are shown the companies in the auditorium of the Student building, illustrating the correct manner In which a rifle is aimed, how the trigger pulled and a'so methods of cleaning the piece. Later it is expected to use pictures taken in France to give the cadets visual instruction of the action of troops under fire.

I. U. TO ENTERTAIN SIG HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT

Indiana University will entertain the high schools of Indiana next March at the annual State High School Basketball Tournament. After a trial at Purdue University last year, the vote of the Athletic Association founder of the tournament idea, should be continued as the promoter of the athletic contests for state high school basketball honors. The vote of the association was 144 to 77 and a resolution supported by Purdue workers asking that the tournament be returned to that school was defeated when balloted on. As a place for the holding of the tournament, Indiana believes herself to be especially fitted. The gymnasium, considered as the best equipped in *the middle west, can care for the Crowds usually existent with the .-.i tests. The situation of the ’rrtnyure, in close proximity to all the fraternity houses, affords the best of helping facilities for the teams. The Booster’s Club, an origanization of representative men of, the campus, has long been accustomed to handling the crowds of the tournament and in arranging entertainments for the visiting teams and supporters. In this year of the Greater Indiana j-nd tlije celebration .of her one hundredth anniversary, .the students of the university will spend unusual effort to make the state tournament a success. The teams of the state ’will rnd a ready welcome back to the original tourney grounds where many a game of basketball has been for. ’it out in the past.

PLAN MEMORIAL BUILDING.

It is possible that during the Centennial Week, May 29 .to June 4, in the spriif?, a campaign will be held among the members of the aluinnl and student body of Indiana University' for raising of -funds to be used in the erection of a Memorial Building. The matter of holding such a campaign was taken up in the meeting of the trustees of the university recently. It was decided at that time that such action should only be taken by the university in the case that It be a popular one among the members of the alumni and studant body.
