difference between the rate charged
on farm property and town or city
real estate. His inquiries also re-
vealed that not more than forty per
cent Of the farmers would be willing
to join cooperative associations for
agricultural credits.
The above information makes it
plain that the farmer need not ex-
pect to get his money for nothing,
that he must give security and then
he can get money needed for the de-
velopment of his business. While
it might be possible for a combina-
ton of farmers to loan larger per
cent of the value of farm property
to a limited number of their organ
ization it is not probable many of
them would be willing to assume the
increased risk. If the agricultural
credit system is to be Of permanent
benefit to the agricultural classes it
must be organized upon conserva-
tive lines There would seem to be
an opportunity to help some but the
matter will have to be very thor
oughly studied before it can be sue
cessfully undertaken.

Taken all in all the senate meas

country Will be in possession of one
Of the best mail services known
Still we lack considerable of a
perfect system We need a different
classification of mails. For instanc,
the merchant will be able to send
his sugar or the farmer his butter
through the mails at the parcels
post rate.But the printer who wishef
to send a job of printed booklets or
flyers to a customer by mail must
pay the old rate for that matter. Tho
injustice of this must be apparent.
These printed booklets or flyers arc
the printers production the same as
the farmers butter is his. The print

not be compelled to pay a higher

make the post Office department self
supporting, a commendable pur-
pose. But it has continued to make
the public patronizing the mails not
only pay the cost of whatever mail
it sent but for carrying immense
quantities of mail for the members
of the government free of expense.
The free distribution of political
matter in the form of alleged
speeches by members of congress,
of garden seeds and other things of
similar nature is wrong. The
public should not be assessed for
this expense. The senders of ar
ticles of this nature should pay the
expense the same as other people.
Of course they will not do it until
the public demands it so persistent
ly they will be obliged to yield. But
when it is done we can send our
letters for one cent instead of two.
So it is an object well worth work
ing for. We hope the public will
soon be working for further postal
reforms.

The Flat Rate Biz

The house has passed the fat rate
bill taxing intangibles seven-tenths
of one per cent on a dollar. The
property subject to this tax is clas-
sified as follows: Money on hand,
in the hands of another, deposited
in banks without the state, money
loaned at interest or otherwise in
vested, deposited or held to the
use Of the taxpayer, money due or
to become due on book accounts or
contracts, money due on cnecks,
drafts, certificates of deposit, orders
for payment of money, money or
ders, due bills or other evidences
of Indebtedness, promissory notes,
bonds or other similar obligations in
writing, bonds of the state or any
form of municipal government, ex-
cept those exempted by law, all
other moneyed securities, shares Of
stock in national banks, trust COM
panies or savings banks and trust
companies, any corporation organ
lied in this state, except those ex-
empted by law, and of corporations
or joint stock companies organized
under the laws of other states un-
less it is otherwise taxed. 1t does
not include money deposited in
banks within this state where the
banks pay taxes on the same. The
appraised value of these stocks is
determined by deducting the value
of the real and personal property
of a national bank or corporation
taxed in this state or elsewhere and
dividing the remaining value among
the shares of stock.
If a person owes SIS, 900 indebt-
edness in excess of the United
States bonds, deposits in banks and
the appraised value of all property
subject to the tax on intangible
property that amount can be deduct
from the valuation of personal prop
erty subject to the general proper
ty tax, but no deductions for debts
owing shall be made from the ap-
praised value of property subject to
the tax on intangibles. No tax as
sesesd on intangibles shall be sub
ject to a discount.
These are the provisions of the
bill as we read them. 1t seems to
be a redemption of the party pledge
to equalize the conditions of loan
ing money by banks or individuals.
The only difference is the bank is
taxed on the average amount of iti
deposits and the individual is taxed
upon his money, securities and evil
licences of debt. 1t is not the COM
plete relief of the borrower from
paying taxes on his property and on
money borrowed that the senate bills
would give by exempting money If
loaned at a rate of interest not ex-
ceeding five per cent. 1t simply
fixes the amount of his double
taxation at seven-tenths of one pei
cent throughout the state or simply
makes the rate of double taxation
uniform throughout the state. The
provision limiting the amount OF
personal property one can exempt
from taxation to $500 is a pen
atty on greatness. 1t makes the tax
alton of personal property subject
to the general property tax unequa,
and therefore unjust but it must in
crease the size of the grand list be-

The democratic senators are dis
cussing whether they shall hold up
the appointments of Pres. Taft dur
ing the remainder of this session
of congress so they can put demo
Gratis in their place after March 4
This would hardly seem wise be-
cause if the democrats try to graf
more than the terms of Office nat
urally given them the republicans
cans can set back and refuse to con-
firm democratic nominations aftel
March 4 and let the republican off,
Gals hold over for an indefinite

the democrats to wait until they arc
in power before attempting to grail
