Progressive candidate for the vice-presidency.
No Theodore Roosevelt has called him great

Governor Marshall has made no great stir
in Indiana. He has gone quietly about the work
of his Office. and doing that work we'll. He
has met the requirements of his office, and
the people OF Indiana have the satisfaction OF
knowing that their governor has done his
duty. Since becoming candidate for the

sought notoriety by blatant mouthings about

SYSTEM OF RURAL CREDIT.

President Taft is advocating a system of
rural cooperative credit similar to that which
has been established in Germany and taken up
In a modified form In Greas Britain and other
countries. The proposition is to establish a
chain Of rural banks so that the farmers can
secure credit for the improvement and develop
ment of their farms more conveniently and at
lower rate OF interest. One plan is to have
a system of rural banks established with the
small agricultural community as unit and
brought together into county associations, with
central institution In some city of the State
These rural cooperative banks have been
established in other countries and have been
eminently successful in their purpose of help
ing the farmer to secure money with which to
harvest and market his crops. In Austria the
system has been in operation for half can
fury, the number of banks in 1910 being more
than ten thousand against 943 in 1879. In
Italy and France this similar systems are in
operation with successful results.
President Taft's suggestion is one which is
we'll worthy of consideration 1t is not new.
it's discussion having been started in this coun-
try some time ago. but with his approval and
that of well-known bankers and inanciers it
will attract more attention.

WHAT RTCHMOND HAS.

The Norfolk Ledeer-Dispdtch Is much i'm
pressed with the spirit shown at the recent
dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, saying
the Chamber gave an exhibition of just what
should now be at work in Norfolk"
The report OF the Richmond gathering
is inspiring to those who interested in
such work" it continues. giving several ex-
cerpts from those reports, and commenting
upon them as follows:
THAT is the spirit that builds and sustains
cities That is the kind of business organi-
cation that encourages efforts and appreciates
results The traffic bureau alone of the Rich
mond Chamber OF Commerce has been worth
an enormous sum to the city. and it is the
organization that docs things" that has the
support of the business men. Norfolks bust
ness men should read this report of the Rich
mond meeting Norfolk has need OF greater
activity along such lines"
It is the spirit of Greater Richmond and a
spirit that Norfolk and every other city in the
State should possess If they do not now.

" Virginia voters Viii have the opportunity at
the November election Of favorng or opposing
two amendments 60 the State constitution Both
of thees amendments are of interest 10 the
cities of the State. One proposes to give Vir-
ginia cities the privilege of having a commits
sion form OF government. provided such form
of government is desired by the respective
cities. Many cities OF other States have this
form OF government and it has proven an adj
vance step over the old and cumberson city
governments now prevailing in Virginia
The other amendment proposes that the pro-
vision forbidding the reelection of treasurers
and commissioners of the revenue of cities be
repealed. 80 that these officials may he re-
elected II the people desire to retain them in
office. Their election will depend on the
wishes of the people, and the people should
rule. IL they desire an efficient treasurer or a
faithful commissioner of the revenue to con-
tnue IN office they have a right to that choice
IL such officers prove unworthy the people will
be able to make a change County treasurers
and commissioners of the revenue may be re-
elected. and discrimination should be made
against city treasurers and commissioners OF
the revenue.
To vote for these amendments il will be ne
eessary for the voter to scratch the word
against" And II only fair that city
treasurers and comm fasteners of the revenue
have the same privilege of reelection as county

City Amendment.

On next Tuesday the voters of the State will
vote on an amendment to the State constitution
which permits the cities to have a comm ssion
form of government, If the voters of the cities
desire It, The Virginia League Sof Municipali-
ties urges the voters to adopt the amendment
1t says:
The adoption of this amendment will, in
itself, make no change in the existing form of
municipal government, but will allow certain
changes in the future which the consent of the
voters of the city or town whose charter may
be amended. which changes even though de-
sired, are not permitted under the present con-
stitution."
Opposition to the amendment grows out of
the fact. while IT provides for a commission
form of government it still leaves all the fee
officers to be elected by the people. instead OF
being appointed by the commission. The OPP
position view being Briefly expressed fol-
lows:
while authorizing the Legislature to depart from
the constitutional form of city charter, pro-
vdes that matter what form of charter be
granted the various fee officers, such COM
missioner of revenue, city treasurer, city
geant. etc, shall continue, as now, to be elected
by popular vote. This resolution passed
in response to very widespread demand that
the cities of State should be allowed to
provisio that administrative officers other than
the commissioners should be elected by popu-
lar vote makes it impossible that the COM
mission should actually govern"
There are two points to be considered by the
voters. First If the amendment is defeated 1t
will be some years before any substitute for it
could he adopted; second, II IS only a matter of
time when Virginia will follow the lead Of
many progressive States and abolish the
fee system How soon that time viii come de-
Ponds upon the voters.
In view Of these things we are Of the cuinion
that the amendment should be adopted next
Tuesday. and the cities take what they
get in the way of an improved government by
commission Ledger Dispatch

Vote for the Amendments.

When going to the polls next Tuesday to vote
for president and congress, don't fail to vote on
the proposed amendments and to cast your
vote for these. They only refer to the cities
and can have no direct effect upon the people
in the country districts. The cities are only
asking in the one instance to be placed upon
the same footing with respect to their treas
urers and commissioners as the counties
and in the other instance they ask for per-
mission to adopt the commission form OF gov
eminent which has proven beneficial TO cities
of other States That Is all there is to the
proposed amendments to the constitution Only
the cities are affected, while the law requires
that the whole State shall vote upon the
changes. Blackstone Courier.

long been advocate of "a simpliication of

changes ought to be made is question that is
not pertinent at this time. The quest OF
