The church is the pillar be
cause it supports the truth and
the ground because it. is the
foundation of the truth. The
church is the custodian of reli

statement of eternal facts. Its
Bible is the most widely circu

The Way of Life. Its revivals
restore and save men. With all

METHODIST NOTES
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The
government lost $200,000,000 in
impounded AAA processing taxes
Monday through a supreme court
decision which left unsettled the
larger question of whether the
treasury must refund any of the
$1,000,000,000 it had collected.
Almost simultaneously the
high court deferred for several
weeks at least the question of
the constitutionality of the Bank-
head cotton control act, explain
ing that a case presenting that
issue was not in proper form for
supreme court consideration.
There was no announcement
on the third New Deal case
which the justices had under
consideration. Presumably a de
cision will be forthcoming next
Monday on the Tennessee Valley
suit involving the government’s
right to enter the electric power
business.
The tax decision, unanimous
and read by Justice Roberts,who
last week announced the verdict
smashing AAA, brought immed
iate forecast that congress would
be asked to enact new revenue
raising legislation.
The $200,000,000 involved in
today’s decision had been paid
into depositories under direction
of lower courts by processors
who began last June to seek in
junctions restraining collection
of AAA taxes on the ground the
farm act was invalid.
Roberts’ opinion, given in a
case involving taxes of eight
Louisiana rice millers, held it
was not necessary for the court
at this time to pass on the ques
tion of attempts to recover taxes
already paid into the treasury.
These have approximated $1,-
000,000,000 in the last two years.

Then, to meet higher bids, Phila

it was announced Wednesday by
P K. Bruhn, field representa
tive of the Savings Loan Divi
sion oi tlie Federal Home Land
Bank Board, Washington, D. C.
Mr. Bruhn has spent the last
few days in Perry working with
a citizens committee towards the
accomplishment of this purpose.
The following compose the
local committee: S. A. Nunn,
chairman; ! Meade Toileson,
vice chairman; v . FI. Andrew,
George E. Ha*- y, Dr. K. L.
Cater, ,j. W. Bioodworth, H. T.
Dean, Lewis M. Houser.
“This is a development of im
mediate public interest and of
special significance to home own
ers and to all citizens interested
in local home financing and con
struction activity,” Mr. Bruhn
said.
The object of the locai asso
ciation will be to serve local
home financing needs through
the cooperation of federal and
local capital. Mr. Bruhn indi
cated that sufficient progress has
already been made to warrant
announcement that installation
of such an institution in Perry is
practically a certainty.
it will be recalled that in June,
1933 Congress enacted a measure
to encourage “local thrift and
local home financing and to pro
mote, organize and develop,”
such Savings Loan Associations
througnout the country.
U. S. Treasurer To Invest
Funds
The act authorizes the Secre
tary of the Treasury to subscribe
tor shares in such associations at
the rate of $3.00 for every $1.00
invested by local capital. No
charter shall. be granted except
to persons of good character and
responsibility.
The purpose of the association
is to attract private capital into
home loans by providing a safe
and profitable investment for
large and small sums of money
and a practical means of fi
nance for home-owner borrowers.
Under an Act of Congress the
Federal Savings and Loan Insur
ance Corporation guarantees
the payment to individual inves
tors up to $5,000.00.
Loans by the association will
be made on homes or real estate
located within fifty miles of Per-
ry.
A loan must not be made for
an amount exceeding seventy-
iive per cent of the face value of
property. The loans will not be
made for less than five years,nor
more than twenty, but can be
paid off before maturity. An
important feature is the fact that
the loans must be paid off in
monthly installments.
Shares in the association are
exempt from federal taxes and
are non-assessible. Repurchased
by payment to any holder of a
part or the full value of the
shares, as requested, may be
made on thirty days notice from
the date of receipt of sharehold
er’s application.
At the time of going to press
it was expected that sufficient
capital will be subscribed within
the next day or two to make it
possible to petition for a charter.
The committee expressed confi
dence that this organization will
soon be completed in oHer that
Perry and its citizens may enjoy
all the benefits obtained under
the charter.
Any person desiring informa
tion is requested to contact any
member of the committee,
