FARMERS COOPERATIVE CREDIT.

HOO OOPERATIVE credit for farmers, which now prevails all
" over Europe with immense success, is one of the great
needs of the American husbandman. 1t has been aptly
said that, lacking the means to borrow money on his crops. the
farmers dollar is static electricity, embarrassed and having only
potential force, while the merchants dollar is dynamic cleo
trle1ty, applied in the powerhouse. The birthplace of coopera-
I'VE credit is Germany, where the farmer early in the nineteenth
century was in the grip of the moneylender. OF the working
capital of German cooperative rural banks about 80 per cent. is
furnished by the farmers, themselves or local depositors. This
shows that the tiler of the soil has the money to finance his
own business if he can energize it. The capital of the German
rural banks is less than 4 per cent of their funds, and admin
istrative expenses are negligible After afording ample Ioans>
ooth on current account and for fixed periods, there is money
left for deposit in the urban cooperative banks or general bank
ing opera lions, but individual profit is not the purpose. and no
dividends are paid. Thus the earnings go into reserve funds.
which are making the German farmer a national financial power.
such Is the system of which our State Department is making
a study, and the hopeful lessons for American farmers should
not be lost.

WITHHOLDING SCHOOL MONEYS.

III HE school districts of the State have not received from
Ii the State comptroller the amounts of their railroad tax
income, now long past due. The reason assigned is an
unsettled suit by one of the railroads. School districts ar en-
harrassed for funds and denied their just rights because a single
sallroad is in litigation. 1t is easy to see how this condition
can obtain year after year and from the same cause. All that
the railroads have to do to delay payment is to start Il suit and
prolong IL. For a number of years the annual railroad tax
school moneys we're withheld for nearly a year after the tax
was due to the State, the railroads being allowed to defer paw
ment for long periods and the comptroller keeping the money
IN State repositories for longer periods for the sake of the per
cent. interest. The school districts have to borrow at high in
terest rates to get the money for school maintenance. This
grievance was aired in the Legislature. and a remedial act was
passed. 1t is evident that another act is necessary to get ius.
tice for the school districts.

THE BIRTH OF A NATIONAL NEW PARTY.

N NATIONS eyes are bent on Chicago today, where the new
party national convention is in session. Less than two
months ago IN the same city and the same hall the Re
publican national convention was held, and with momentous
consequences, represented by the great gathering today, which
s to be historic. The inception of the event of this week was
witnessed in Orchestral Hall, Chicago, on the night of the Taft
nomination, when, amid scenes of extraordinary emotion, four
hundred convention delegates declared for a new party. That
the movement thus begun spread and took deep root is evident
enough today. Forty seven States are represented at Chicago
and the gathering is as impressive in its representative char
acter as the conventions of the old parties. This is a history
making epoch, and some highly important history is now making
at Chicago.

ID lELD MARSHAL EARL ROBERTS, the best military
L authority in England, declares that Great Britain is as
absolutely untitled and unprepared for war now as she
was at the time of the Boer War, and that from that campaign
she has gained no experience which has been put into prac-
ucal use. And he speaks the truth. But except on the ocean
England will not be prepared as long as the Briisher retains
mat compliment selfesteem and sovereign contempt of every
thing which is not English that makes. him the wonder and
laughter OF other nations. This national conceit that sticks
out In everything, and always Extensively. is not unlikely to
keep England unprepared until the eleventh hour. 1t NAV cost
England great sacrifices.

THE Audi.

@RDINARY audits of official accounts bv committees of
w municipal or county boards are largely perfunctory. In
Hudson county in 1903 a freeholders' committee audited
the county books and reported them all right. But they we're
all wrong, as a real audit, recently concluded, shows. They now
show a deficit of nearly 100000, and much of this has been car.
ried over from 1903 and preceding years. Should there not be
a system of audit for all public accounts in this State 10 he
had annually and be mandatory, that shall not be under any
control by committee or official?
