Land Mortgage Banks Advocated By Howard
Washington January 22 A national system of land mortgage banks to aid farmers with capital for stocking and improving partly paid farms was urged in the house by Representative Howard of Georgia. He proposed a central loan mortgage bank with branches in every state and multiple sub branches. State banks would own 20 percent of the central bank stock and country banks 10 percent of state bank stock. The plan aims at mutual interest across the interlocking system to ease bond sales and extend credit.
