have meant much to this sec-1
tion of the state in the advance
ment of home life and the stim-
■^lation of safe investlDent. The
Fifth District Building and
Loan League of North Caro-
linrt convenes here, bringing
some 150 persons from the
counties ‘round about us. And
bringing with them some distin
guished citizens of the state who
will address the group.
More than a century ago, in 1931,
a little group of Pennsylvanian vil
lagers laid the foundation for one of
the most important financial sys
tems in the Nation today. These cit
izens of the village of Frankfort,
which is now part of Philadelphia,
organized the first mutual co-opera
tive building and loan association-
From this small begininng has grown j the year
one of the strongest and oldest co
operative businesses in this country.
These building and loan associations,
later also called savings an.l loan
associations, to emphasize the ‘sav
ings’ feature, were not organized in
North Carolina until 1881 when the
Mutual Building and Loan Associa
tion of Charlotte w-as started. Recent
research indicates that building and

have been comparatively few failures
n North Carolna and the losses by
shareholders have been negligible.
This wonderful record has been due,
among other things, to the conserva
tive management, the short term
loan, and to the advantages which
North Carolina has had, such as com
paratively better business conditions,
less severity of depression, and a
better system of mortgage foreclos-
use than prevails in most states.
There are in the Tar Heel S^ate 177
mutual thrift and home financing in
stitutions of which 14 are chartered
under the Federal government and
are called Federal Savings and Loan
Associations. These 177 institutions
have over $75,000,000 in assets. Al
most every community which has
over 3,000 population hw one err
more of these mutual home financing
institutions. The above figures are
not large when compared with the
total of 10,000 savings, building and
loan associations doing business In
the United States (inclu.'^ir.g Hawaii)
representing $6,000,000,000 in total
assets.

FARMERS HERE TAXED
26% OF CASH INCOME
The tax burden of the aver
age North Carolina farmer hM
reached a point at which it
equals 26 percent of his farm’s
cash income, according to re
sults of a survey by the National
Consumers Tax Commission.
The average income of each
of North Carolina's 300,967 far
mers is $17.27 weekly, from
which his burden of taxes—di
rect and hidden—d**ains $4.53,
the report states. ^ •
Results of the survey were
made p«blic by Mrs, Rufus L.
Allen, Waynesville, North Caro

“Taxes in the United States as
whole have increaised until they
equal 23.6 percent of the entire
national incoine. The greater
percentage of these are hidden
taxes, concealed in the purchase
price of practically every com
modity. They penalize the far
mer as well as the urban con
sumer, and rob both of a full
return on each dollar spent.

ers Tax Commission, whose
headquarters are in Chicago,
are springing up in community

commission is pledged to com

consumer, she explained. An or

sumer in protecting his stand
