TAFT GIVEN THE CREDIT
Effort to Establish AgricuItu.
raj Credit Banks Praised
by David Lubin.

Myron T.. Herrick. American ambas-
sador to France, who is in this country
to agitate the establishment of agricul-
tural credit banks as a means Of bringing
cheap and abundant capital to farmers
for the further development of their
lands. made public here today a letter
he has received from David Lubin,
praisng President Taft's efforts to bring
about the reform. Mr.. Lubin is the
American delegate to the International
Institute of Agriculture at Rome.
Current in Political History.
In his letter he says:
spoken, and spoken down the ages of
history.
''why? Because you have by this act
set in motion current in political his
tory which shall at last l-nder popular
government stable. And do we not know
that If we are to conserve the republic
we must conserve the conservative of
the republic, the farmer?
ITO President Taft and to yourself be-
long the honor of not alone knowing
this cardinal truth, but of Harvesting the
proper means toward this end; of shap-
ing the course of the ship of state along
the path which she should ever travel;
when the state shall no longer swing to
and fro from progress to reaction, like
a pendulum. but move In we'll defined
evolutionary orbit.
An Aid to the Republic.
And thus the movement you have set
going will tend to promote an expert
ment' into an enduring republic-a re-
public not merely of value to its own
citizens but likewise of value, through
it's influence, to all the world.
.sIf this statement of the case seems
too bold it is because we are living too
close to the initiative: time will rectify
that.
God speed you in your great endeavor.
Sincerely, DAVID LUBlN.

20 meet an evergrowing pressure in
public requirements. In addition 10
these demands for new financing,
which OF course mean increased fixed
charges, the railroads are also embar-
raised by growing demands Of labor.
If the requests OF the engineers are
granted, all railroad labor is likely to
follow with corresponding claims, and
the results will be a further increase
of between s5O,O00OOO and $60,000,000
in the annual expenses OF the Ameri-
can railroads. Net earnings are only
just now beginning TO recover from the
advances made TO labor two years ago.
Further concessions such as are now
insisted upon would seriously cripple
many OF our great transportation sys-
TENS, particularly the weaker lines.
The railroads might recoup themselves
by passing on increased charges to the
consumer, as in other lines of business.
But in this course they are prevented
by the interstate commerce commits

an exceedingly embarrassing dilemma.
At the moment this Is being somewhat

congested, both at home and abroad
and with the present high rates of in
terest II is difficult to place new issues
upon terms satisfactory to the issuers
In all probability these perplexties
will be gradually worked out. But
their existence is quite sufficient to re
strain extreme bullish enthusiasm al
this tine. Nevertheless the financial
situation is in many respects distinct

current year; and should monetary
