Why Not :?

The banking corporation deposits U. S
bonds with the Treasurer as security for a
loan of money, and the Treasurer acting
as the governments fiscal agent loans the
banking corporation currency-bank
notes-at 4 per cent interest Why moi
loan to the individual on the same terms
The postmaster, acting as agent for the
government, issues a check (money
order) to any person who deposits the
money, for the full amount of the deposit
payable at any money order office in the
United States, and makes small charge
for the accommodation.
Why not open banks, receive deposit:
and loan them on approved security al
low rates of interest, cash checks, etc., as
incorporated banks do? Can anybody
give good reason why not?
The government issues money in the
name of bank to the face value of a
bond and locks the bond up Why not
issue the money in the governments
name, burn the bond and stop the
interest?

Corporation VS.. Cooperation.

The farmers at their last club meeting
in discussing their club essay appear to
have been confused and good deal
mixed in their views of business methods.
The essay suggested applying the COR
poration plan to agriculture, which is
almost the only system adopted in all
other lines of large business.
III discussing the subject they appear to
confound cooperation, communism and
corporation as one and the same, while
the systems are as widely different as the
poles, or as day and night.
Communism is a kind of French social
plan of government, adopted at Paris at
the time of the first French revolution.
There is nothing like it in the United
/ States
Cooperation consists of several parties
entering into an agreement and putting
their capital together. and working on a
profit sharing principle. In real estate
each partner retains the fee simple owner
ship of the property.
A corporation is altogether different
system. There is no shadow of similarity
between a corporation and cooperative
system. The corporation is an artificial
person. The natural persons composing
corporation lose their identity, and the
capital each puts in is represented by
stock.
In choosing a board Of managers or
directors in CO operation the natural
person casts vote. In choosing officers
for the corporation, the stock votes, each
share counting one vote. The distribution
of profits is made to the shares of stock.
For illustration if a company of Cecil
farmers concluded to form cooperative
enterprise, they would combine their
farms and work under a written agree
ment, each man retaining the title of his
land. Ifthey determined to form cor
poration, they would select name. secure
a charter from the State, appraise the
value of each farm, sell the farms TO the
corporation and receive stock ofthe Cecil
Farmers Association-if you choose,
which would represent the interest of each
person in the concern.
This is the business method under
which all railroads, coal mines, great fac
tories, etc, etc, are conducted. The
co poration in its organization and meth
DDS compares with the cooperation as
steel ropes with cotton cords.
There would be no interference or
breaking up of or into the home privacy,
but absolute protection to it. We don't
suppose the essayist had any idea that his
suggestions would be acted upon. but
were thrown out as line of economic
inquiry for farmers to think about Many
large concerns of the kind are being
established in the western part of the
country. They are known as bonanza
farms.'
