Bankers Take
Issue With the
Chief Executive
Investment of Savings Funds in Gov
ernment Bonds Declared Bad
for the Country.

CHICAGO, Sept 17.-Resolutions con-
demning in strong terms both guaranty
deposit laws and the establishment of pos
tails savings banks were adopted today by
the American Bankers association. In crit
icislng these two propositions, Arthur Rey-
nods of Des Moines, chairman of the
federal executive committee, referring to
the postal savings bank, declared that the
danger of the political use Of such a
power should cause all patriotic men to
hesitate before adopting such a radical
measure"
He also took issue with President Taft
on the question of the investment of the
funds deposited in such savings banks, de-
claring the executive committee was op.
posed should postal savings bank bill be-
come law, to the investment of such funds
in either United States bonds or state and
municipal bonds.
The investment Of 5000, ,OOO 900 or 500. 900,
900 in United States bonds, as has been ad.
vocated recently by our chief executive >
he said, would be a serious mistake and
a menace to our nations credit, as it is ir
other countries where such investments
are made"
As a substitute for these plans the com.
mittee recommended state and federal su.

Meats will not be cheaper this winter
The price Of corn is high and is now about
60 cents. 1t will 90 higher The ranchers
in much Of the west are going out Of busi-
ness,' added the secretary. New settlers
are going in and occupying the ranches
and breaking them up into small farms
They are not producing as much meat as
the ranchers, though in time they will pro-
duce more. Through the reclamation work
and the dry land farming we are going to
have greater production of crops and live
stock. Just now production is not keeping
pace with the increase of population"

These Are Full Days for
Farmer and Laboring Man

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-THE average
laborer is today living better than Queen
Elizabeth did in her time" said Secretary
Wilson Of the Agricultural department
today upon his return from a months va
cation on his farm in Iowa. He was dis
cussing the prosperous condition OF the
farmers Of the west and the high wages
Of the workingman in the east,
Take the meat bills of the laborers In
Washington today" he continued, you
win find that they eat meat three times a
day-most Of them-and, what is more,
they are not content with any kind; they
want the best cuts They can afford
them. AS a result, the price OF meat is
away up. While the farmers are producing
more beef every year they are not pro-
ducing enough 10 meet the increase in
population. do not look for the prices
10 decrease materially soon"
The secretary was asked II the western
farmers were really investing such large
sums Of money in automobiles,
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1909-09-18

There is too much truth in those re-
ports" he responded. THE farmer is out
OF debt; he has paid for his farm, his
fences and his machinery. He has money
in his pockets and big crops continue 10
come on. He is afraid to invest IN eastern
securities, lest a year might bring trouble
there, As a result he puts his money in
luXuries, instead Of channels that might
give return. Why, folks in the east do
not know what luxuries are; they must
90 west to find that out
The farmer is still handicapped by lack
Of labor. Too many have gone from the
farm to the sidewalk / hope education
along agricultural lines will remedy this,
but the tide has not yet turned backward
One thing, however, the farmer today, by
means Of improved machinery can do
many times as much as the farmer ao-
complished ten years ago. He does Il with
ease, too. for farmer sits at nearly ali
