But the theory and purpose of building and loan associations are entirely different. These associations are, presumably at least, composed of men who are not capitalists, but who desire to form a fund from their mutual earnings, that shall be mutually beneficial. To this end the persons subscribing for the stock of these associations agree to pay therefor in small amounts, at stated intervals, and to continue such payments until the amounts so paid, added to the profits that may be realized on the stock, equal its par value; and provisions are made for fines and forfeitures in ease of non-payment. The stock is issued in one series, or in
