PLAN TO REDUCE
COST OF LIVING
Taft Suggests Land Mortgage
Bank to Aid Farmers.
WORKS WELL IN EUROPE
Urges System Of Cooperative Credit
by Which Farmer Could Borrow
Money at Lower Rates.

Radical legislation in favor OF the
American farmer and consumer as
means OF solving the question OF tho
high cost OF living was urged by Pres
ident Taft in a letter to the governors
OF all the states.
President Taft proposes to reduce
the cost Of foodstuffs on the American
dinner table by reducing the cost TO
the farmer Of producing his crops.
This would be done BY establishing IN
the interest OF the farmer a financial
machine which would give him access
to all the money ccnters OF the world
and afford him credit at greatly re-
duced rates and upon more adyasta'
geous terms than he now receives.
The president recommends the en-
actment Of laws by congress permit
ting the organization Of national land
mortgage banks to be operated under
government supervision. with power TO
guarantee and market tho guaranteed
dsbsnture bonds OF the state land
mortgage banks or cooperative socis-
ties Is favored.
Ths farmers OF the country pay
over a half billion dollars interest
yearly, the president says. which aver
ages 81 per cent. counting sommi =
siens and renewal charges. against VA
and a., per cent paid in Germany or
France
The complete development Of our
agricultural resources which this
would make possible. thinks President
Taft. would 90 a long way toward set
Ting the problem " the high cost OF
living.
What this plan offers" writes Pres.
idsnt Taft lis = means to secure this
country greater productivity at less
eost from the farms that are row un'
der cultivation. and. above all. TO give
US moro farms and more farmers"
The plan suggested is based upon
the principles OF agricultural coopera-
tive credit now In uss in practically
every country OF Europe. Uniform
state legislation. in the opinion Of the
president, Is essential to the success
full adoption OF this plan. and he has
invited the governors of all the states
TO a conference upon this subject at
the time of the annual meeting 4
governors in Washington In December.
Were no. the interval so short. "
writes President Taft. my conviction
OF tho Importance of this subject
would compel me to invite you 10 a
conference at a still earlier date"
President Taft bases his recommen
dations on reports submitted by this
American diplomatic officers In En-.
rope. who have. since last March. bean
engaged In an investigation OF this
question and upon the special report
OF Ambassador Myron 7. Hsrrick. who
has made a study for years OF the
question OF adopting cooperative
credit In the United States.
