Of particular interest to farmers was the bill proposed by Senator Fra zier of North Dakota, and passed on the last day, which provides farm mortgage relief. The proposal—if ap proved by the president—will provide a virtual six year moratorium on farm indebtedness. ' Under the plan, a farmer seeking relief may apply to conciliation courts established during the Hoover administration. t He may, however, apply to the fed eral courts to be adjudged a bank rupt if his creditors refuse to author ize a scaling down of his debts, or if the reduction is satisfactory to him. In that event, the court must ap point appraisers to determine “the fair market value” of the property. If the creditors accept that fair market value appraisal, the fanner is given six years to “rebuy” his pro perty at an interest rate which be gins at one per cent annually and mounts to five within four years. But if a creditor objects to this ar rangement, the court is authorized to declare a moratorium for six year* The farmer will occupy the property, for that period, paying the rente; value which the court fixes. This rental will be divided amnnf the creditors as would the payments should it be Sgreed to let the favmei repurchase his property. Senator Fr.azier (R., N. D.) sail . < i -A n___ Lila'.
