Conference Adiourns.

Conference adjourned today to meet informally tomorrow with President Taft in Washington to discuss rural credits and to meet formally next year al Colorado Springs at a date as yet undetermined. In it's dying hours the conference adopted res olution which, in the opinion of many delegates, sounds the knell of the time honored mortgage on the farm and presages the advent of a new finan- cial era for the farmers of the county. Should the intent Of this preliminary resolution attain fruition, the gover- nors believe that it will result in the establishment of new system of state banks throughout the United States,
 governed by a uniform state law These banks, under the resolution
 would be financed by private capital
 and would be operated under legisla- tion Sufficiently elastic to enable them
 to issue bonds. for short -wr long terms
 upon American farms in lieu of mort
 gages. The bonds in turn, in the
 opinion of tae governors, would be listed under state supervision on the stock exchanges of the world Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to France, addressed the conference on this topic, as President Taft's repre-. sentative, and declared that the thrifty people of France and other European countries were ready to Invest their savings in these securities.
 The resolution under which it is hoped to bring this about endorses the adoption of a plan of financing rural credits yet to be detailed but similar to those abroad. It provides for the appointment of a committee of five governors to draft such a plan and a bill legalizing it. This bill must be submitted to the goveYnor of each state in the union and upon approval of two-thirds, shall be sent to the legislatures of the various states for enactment.
 The committee was not appointed today but Governor Plaister, of Maine, chairman of the last session, was au. thorized to name it later. He prob ably will do so tomorrow in Wash ington.
 Tine governors, or many of them, will leave here tomorrow at 9 o'clock in special train to Washington.
 Before adjourning tonight the execu- tive committee appointed Miles C. Riley. of Madison, Wis. secretary treasurer and John Franklin Fort, for mer governor of New Jersey, manager M Fort will nave charge of the pro- gram of next year. The conference adopted also a resolution congratulate ing Governor Wilson and Governor Marshall upon their election as pres ident and vice president.
 "The custom of electing governors to the highest office in the gift of the people, said Governor Hadley, 'is a wise one in which, am sure, we all concur"
