VIE safe and sane Fourth of July
was invented by the insurance
companies IN a mad effort to get
out of paying mankind its Just dues.
Methuselah, who never used fireworks,
whisky, elSarets, or politics, lived to
be 900 years old. By means of biteless
whisky. gumless politics, flyless infants,
and the denatured Fourth Of July, the
insurance companies hope to prOlong the
life Of man until he viii have to pay
more than 5000 annual premiums on
$1,000 life insurance policy before his
DereaVed family can cash IN.
The safe and sane Fourth is bangless
and burnless and is as gentle to have
around as a fur muff. 1t Is prepared by
taking the available supply of fireworks
and gunpOwder and soaking it carefully
IN perfumed water for two weeks prior
to the celebration. A firecracker treated
IN this way is as gentle as a lamb and
can be dragged around by the fuse with
perfect safety.
The inventors of the plush velvet
Fourth of July declare that it will save
IN one year two carloads of legs, four
wagon loads of fingers and a bushel of
eyes, to say nothing of making it I'M
necessary to unscTamble the nerves of
the nation the next day. The old-fash-

Many people are inclined to wonder
If Fourth of July with the fuse pulled
out of it will be worth while The re-
formers declare that it can easily be
made verv exciting. Early in the morn

PLAN TO REDUCE
COST OF LIVING
TAFT Suggests Land Mortgage
Bank to Aid Farmsrs.
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 a
means OF solving the question OF the
high cost OF living was urged by Pres.
ident Taft in letter to the governors
Of all the states.
President Tart proposes to reduce
the cost Of fOOdstuffs on the American
dinner table by reducing the cost tc
the farmer Of producing his crops
This would be done by establishing III
the interest of the farmer a financial
machine which would give him access
to all the money centers of the world
and afford him credit at greatly re
duced rates and upon more advanta.
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 t0'
guarantee and market the guaranteed.
debehture bonds OF the state land
mortgage banks or cooperative soc.e
ties is favored
The farmers OF the country pay
over a half billion dollars intercs
yearly, the president says, which aver
ages S15 per cent, counting commits
sions and renewal charges, against 31aI
and AZ per cent paid in Germany OIL
France
The complete development Of our
agricultural resources which this
would make possible, thinks President
Taft, would go a long way toward set
Ting the problem of the high cost ol
living
What this plan offers" writes Pres |
ident Taft, is a means to secure this
country greater productivity at less
cost from the farms that are now un
der cultivation, and, above all, to give
US more farms and more farmers"
The plan suggested is based upon
the principles of agricultural cO-opera
tive credit now in use in practically
every country of Europe. Uniform
state legislation, in the opinion Of the
president, is essential to the success
ful adoption Of this plan, and he has
invited the governors of all the states
to a conference upon this subject al
the time OF the annual meeting OF
governors in Washington in December
Were not the interval so short,
writes President Taft, my conviction
Of the Importance of this subject
would compel me to invite you to {
at a still earlier date"
President Taft bases his recommen
dations on reports submitted by the ,,
American diplomatic officers in Eu
rope, who have, since last March, been
in an investigation Of this !
question and upon the special report
Of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick. whC
has made a study for years of tbs
question of adopting cooperative
credit in the United States. -
