HAS PLAN TO CUT
COST OF LIVING
President Submits Idea to Gov
errors Of States.

Beverly, Mass, Oct 13.-In letter
to the governors of all states President
Taft presents a plan to solve the high
cost of living.
The president proposes to reduce
the cost to the farmer of producing his
crops. This would be done, says the
president in his letter, by establishing
in the interest of the farmer fnan-
cial machine which would give him &C
cess to all the money centers of the
world and afford him credit at greatly
reduced rates and upon more advan-
tageOus terms than he now receives.
The plan suggested is based on the
principles of agricultural cooperative
credit now in use in nearly all Eu-
ropean countries and to accomplish
this Mr. Taft points out that uniform
state legislation is essential to the sue
cessful adoption of this plan.
To discuss the plan the president
has invited all the governors to con-
ference in December.
