COOPERATIVE MARKETING AND RURAL
 . BANKING IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

The crops of 1912 are nearly all gathered now, and with the ad. vent of the folidav period will come to a close of the agricul- tural year. Just at this time the farmers as class, are supposed to be about through with their years work, ready to sit back in front of a big roasting fire and enjoy some rest, and devote the long evenings to reading t h e abundance of gratuitous advice that is prepared for them and thrust upon them by those who are not engaged in farming. The farmer may not have his just proportion of all the things in general distribution, but he is certainly not lacking in advice about how to farm. It some times looks like the American people are dividedinto two class, es, one the farmers who farm, and the other, those who tell the farmers how to farm. However, there is room for both classes.
 The farmers are necessary to the existence of those who tell the farmer how to farm, and the farmer is not hurt by the advice he gets, because he can profit by what is good and knows enough not to be confused or mislead by what Is bad. Just now there is a good deal said and written up- on two subjects by those who do not farm, that is of special im- portance to the farmers who farm. One of the subjects is cooperative marketing. or the elimination of the middleman and the other is the subject of rural banking.
 The matter of cooperative marketing applied to perishable products. is of great importance to the farmers of Arkansas now. There has not been time here tofore when the farmers of this state gave as much attention to diversified farming as they are giving now. We all agree that diversified farming promotes general prosperity and builds up the soil and increases it's value. Those who have tried it are con- vinced of this fact, and are will ing to continue it. The next question Is to find a ready market for the products, at a profit to the grower. The cost of pre- parIng for market and the trans portation must be met. Then comes the middleman, and the market. The producer may not know the best market, on how to deal with the middieman to She best advantage, and for lack of this knowledge the fruitof his toil may be absorbed, and he will be discouraged and feel constrain. ed to abandon the new crops and return to the staple crop of cot ton, which is always a cash crop. The Cooperative plan af selling has brought relief to similar sit- uations in other sections, and 1t will be useful to the farmers of Arkansas if they will avail them selves of it. There is a good deal written upon this subject now, and the farmers and also the busi- ness men, will find it very prof. table to spend some of the long

 Rural Banking
 The subject of rural banking is vital. Much available informat- ion on the subject exists. Your Congressman can supply you with d a ta furnished by the Government. The agricultural papers and Magazines are having a good deal to say about 1t, and even the politicians are giving heed tn the fact that something whereby a number of farmers who own their farms or a suffi- cient amount of personal proper ty, organize themselves and joint ly borrow enough money to SUD- ply the needs of each one, at a low rate of interest, and then the organization lends to the individ- ual members the amount they re- quire and take their individual obligation, properly secured for 1t at the same, or a slightly ad- vanced rate of interest, Where these organizations are formed, among reliable farmers living in the same community, where they all know the financial responsibil- ity of each other, and know for what purpose the money borrow ed is to be used, and the ability of the borrower to repay, 1t mak- es the most reliable character of banking, and will enable the farmers to borrow money and obtain a low rate of interest. At the present time the farmers in Arkansas are paying ten per cent on small loans, and are giv- ing the very best of security, while industrial plants and busi- ness men generally are getting larger loans at interest rates ranging from eight down to as low as six percent, with no bet, ter security than the farmers are giving when they borrow. This condition is not due to a disposit- ion upon the part of the banks to discriminate against the farm CT, but to circumstances attend ant upon the banking business The condition should not exist, but it does. The rural banking system will change it.
 Why cannot the farmers of Arkansas take the initiative in rural banking? And why cannot the business men help them? l hope both farmers and business men will take an interest in this subj ject, and invr ate what is being done in the European countries along this line.
 It is calculated that the farm CTS of America pay an average interest rate of s l-2 per cent, and that the aggregate per year is five hundred million dollars. i The railroads and other large corporations pay only about half the interest rate, and this securl- ty is not as good as the farmers l hope to see in the next few years a system of rural banking organizations spread all over Arkansas. 1 shall be glad to furnish information in regard to the organization plan to all who desire it.

pAHANG RUBBER
STOPS DIVIDENDS
Drop in Price of Product Given as
Cause; Expected to Be Only
Temporary.

The directors of the Pahang Rubber
Company have been compelled to sus.
pend dividends temporarily owing to
the drop in the price of plantation
rubber. At the time the first monthly
dividend was declared, first latex rub.
Der was selling in Singapore at one
dollar per pound. In estimating the
value of the monthly outputs of rub
Der from the plantation. the directors
based their estimates ten cents a pound
below this, or on an average price for
the year OF. ninety cents pound.
At the present time plantation rub.
Der is selling in Singapore at sixty
seven cents pound, which is a drop
of thirty-three cents and twenty-three
cents below the price on which the
payment of dividends was based.
1t is stated that dividends will be
resumed as soon RS the monthly output
of rubber from the plantation increases
sufficiently to Offset the low price OF

NEW LAW MAKES
GOOD TAXPAYERS
Oriental Hackdrivers and Peanut
Vendors Learn They Cannot Sc
cure Licenses Until Old Debts
Are Paid and Hasten to Settle.

Rafting money in their pockets and
crying loudly for 90 'tihcaIes'i scores
of japanese, Chinese and Hawaiian
back drivers, peanut vendors and pro-
prictors of other business requiring q
license, thronged the tax assessors of.
fee yesterday all possessed with the
new born ambition of paying their taxes
both real and personal, some OF which
have been due since the year of annex
alton.
Act 90, as passed by the last legisla-
turc, caused the unloosening of purse
strings on the part of former tax dodg-
"rs. Deputy Tax Assessor Nicely says
it is the best law passed by the late
legislature and that thousands of dol
lars will be added to the income of the
Territory and the various counties as
a result of its passage.
The law in question requires that ev-
cry person seeking a license to do
business must show the city and county
treasurer certificate showing that all
his taxes have been paid in full, before
such license can be issued.
The fact that such law had been
placed on the statute books only be-
came known when the applicants for Ii
censes called on City Treasurer Nc
Carthv to have them renewed as usual,
for the ensuing six months, and were
informed that it was case of emo
pay taxes, no get license. Immed-
lately there was rnsh to the tax as
SCISSORS office to ascertain the total
amount Of monev due in taxes. Then
ensued some tall hustling to get to-
gether the necessary amount, and prac-
tically every clerk in the assessors of
fee was busy yesterday in making out
certificates for the Orientals.
"ITnder the new law We are getting
people who have never paid taxes be
FORE" said Deputy Nicely. "Poll
taxes which have been accommodating for
wears because we could never find any
property on which to levy, are being
paid with alacritv because those ow'
ing them know it is n question of either
paying mp or going out of business.

feature of playground work.

BOARD OF HEALTH
TO MANUFACTURE POI

The board of health this morning
calls for bids for taro to supply the
Mololfai Settlement following the fail
ure to secure a bid for poi at the last
call. The plea of the manufacturers
was that they could not supply it at
profit at the current rates. To meet
this situation the board will proceed to
make its own poi and consequently calls
only for the raw vegetable.
Until a supply OF taro can be secured
on this bid, the board will pull some of
its own tafo aud this, it is hoped, will
keep the settlement going until con.
tractor can be found
The board has a pobmaking machine
at the settlement similar to the one
now in general use throughout the Is
lands and owned by the Kalihi poi fac
tory, which holds the patent.
