TAFT HAS PLAN 10 SOLVE HIGH
COST OF LIVING.
President Writes Governors RECON-.
mending Adoption Of Co-opera-
tive-credit Plan by the States.

Washington, Oct. IA. - President
Taft has sent 10 the governors Of the
states the reports and recommends
tons OF Ambassador Herrick concern
ing the agricultural credit systems in
operation in Europe, and with them a
letter urging that the several states
adopt uniform legislation for the es-
tablishing and operation of land mort
gage banks and cooperative mort
gage-bond societies along the lines Of
those operating in Germany. AS a
later step, the president says, he fav-
ors the enactment OF laws by congress
permitting the organization Of nation.
I'll land-mortgage banks, to be operat-
ed under strict government supervis.
ion, with the power to guarantee and
market the guaranteed debenture
bonds of the state land-mortgage
banks or cooperative societies.
In setting forth the need of an az
ricultural credit system, Mr.. Taft
says:
The twelve millions of farmers Of
the United States add each year to
the national wealth SS,4OG, coo, 200.
They are doing this on a borrowed
capital of $4,000, 000, 600. On this sum
they pay annually interest charges of
$4,000, 900. Counting commissions
and renewal charges, the interest rate
paid by the farmer of this country Is
averaged at S1a per cent, as compared
to a rate of Az TO 3h per e n paid
by the farmer. for instance, of France
or Germany. Again, the interest rate
paid by the American farmer is con:
.siderably higher than that paid by our
industrial corporations, railroads, or
municipalities. Yet, | think il will be
admitted that the security offered by
the farmer in the farm lands Is quite
as sound as that offered by Industrial
corporations.

RecIaiming the Everglades.

Great and significant as was the re-
cent opening of the oversee railroad to
Key West, another enterprise in
Florida, under the supervision of State
and national authorities, is just coming

rivers which have their source in Lake
Okeechobee is in the last stages, and
within month it is expected that YES

the Atlantic and the Gull, some hun

A Needed Check on Extravaganza.

II II were not IOr Ine AOIHpIIOiler OF
the Treasury, there would probably be
all sorts of ingenious methods adopted
to take advantage of the law authoriz-
ing transportation at government ex-
pense. For many years the army reg
ulations have contained a provision to
the effect that the quartermaster's de-
partment would transport, for officers
who are changing station, the number
of horses for which they were legally
entitled to draw forage, provided, OF
course, the animals were owned and
used by them in the military service
Now, there appears an effort to OBJ
tain authority for the transportation OF
an excess number of horses, provided
these horses are the property of the
officers and are transported at the same
time the officers move their household
effects. In other words, it is desired to
have the horses considered as baggage,
to be transported within the prescribed
allowance on a government bill of lad
ing and the individual officer to pay
any excess charge, as is the case with
the household articles. This has re-
quired decision from the Comptroller
OF the Treasury, who takes the very
sensible view that If was not the inten-
ton of Congress to enlarge the meaning
of the term baggage" as used in army
regulations. 1t is not meant, says that
official, that the term should now have
more liberal Interpretation. He in
dulges in the sagacious observation that
horses have never been regarded as
baggage" and points to the practice of
the common carriers of never trans
porting animals by weight as in the
case of baggage, but are charged per
head.
The allowance for the transportation
of horses is a liberal one within rea-
sonable bounds, permitting an officer to
have two horses, and it is only fair
that there should be restrictions with
out an attempt to take advantage of any
ingenious Interpretation of the statute
Apparently, the Comptroller is very
useful official in checking a perhaps nat
ural desire TO gain all possible advan-
tage of the phraseology of the law re-
specting governmental allowance.
