RURAL CREDITS BILL.


Senator Duncan u. Fletcher of Flor
ida has introduced in tho u. S. Senate
bill for the creation of rural bank
credits throughout this country, based
upon his conceptions of tho rural cred
its system of Germany. Mr. Fletcher
admits that the procedure under this
bill whereby tho making of longtime
loans on farm lands covering periods
from twenty to fifty years is not the
sort Of finaucierlng that banks could
usually engage in, nor does he under
take to make financial operations of
that kind the obligatory or oven the
voluntary business of National banks.
Nor does he show how such loans could
be effected in the United States, where
interest is high and where compare"
lively quick turns and short time con-
tracts are the rule. 1t is certainly
doubtful if any National system of
credits running from twenty 10 fifty
years on 2 per cent basis, as IN Ger
many, could be 4 success. In no part
Of the United States is business done
on a. basis of that sort, nowhere is the
rate Of interest as low as per cent,
and nowhere is there any practice or
custom which supports proposition for
a g per cent loan running twenty to
fifty years, whether this loan is secured
on farm property or anything else.
Even if he proposed to have the rate
5 or per cent, there is abundant OPP
portunity for people who have money
to lend it on better terms, and on con-
ditions that would give them their
money within reasonable time after
the loan had been made.
In Germany conditions are altogeth-
er different. There are large accumu
lations OF money there, in few hands,
and comparatively few opportunities to
lend it are offered at a stable revenue
In Germany q family is quite content to
lend money on such long terms rs in
dicated, and at very low rates of in
terest, because the money accumulation
in given family is so very great that
the time consideration is of no conse-
uuence. The main thing there is to
have secure income, and the longer
that income is provided for the better.
Those conditions are quite different
from conditions in the United States.
There would appear, therefore, to be no
reason why we should introduce at the
present time any National system of
this sort, when there is not in sight
anywhere the least support for it from
those who have money. Any ono who
has money to invest for long time, can
buy city, State, or railroad bonds with
it, or corporation bonds, running from
4 to 6 per cent, and such securities are
always negotiable. Amy one who has
such bonds. can sell them on the mar
ket, and often there may be a good mar
gin in q bond deal in itself to say moth
ing about the interest.
Unless, therefore, Senator Fletcher
,an show some likelihood Of there be-
ng money to lend in this country on
agricultural credits ut extremely low
rates Of interest and for long terms, it
would appear to be idle to press any
such measure sB this.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

a good deal Of interest has been
taken during the week In the express
sions Of the railroad advertising men
on their return from thor trip 10 tho
Yellowstone. On this return, az well
as on their departure for the Yellow
stone, these advertising men were en-
thusiastic about the beauties and ad-
Vantagcs Of Salt Lake City. On their
return they gave assurances that Salt
Lake City would be we'll treated by
them in the future, That they would
put Salt Lake City always on their
lists, and would set forth in railroad
advertising For tourists and general
travellers the desirability Of visit to
Salt Lake City and a stopover here
long enough to look into the resort ad-
vantages and also the business oppor-
tunities here presented. The railroad
advertising men were enthusiastic over
Salt Lake. Few Of them dreamed that
we had hero tho grent advantages that
are combined in the lake, tho canyon
resorts, and tho mountain breezes that
temper the air so as to make summer
in Salt Lake delight. We are salts
fled that much can be fairly expected
from the enthusiastic attitude of the
railroad advertising men towards Salt
Lake.

Even though, as stated by Manager
". II. Gowan we shall not be able to
send any Utah apples to England this
year. the fact that England wants TO
buy Utah anples is vastly encouraging
thing to face as practical PROPOSE
ton. And it is certain that If Old
England should once have the chance
TO sample the best Utah apples, she
would never want any other kind.

Interest has mainly centered again
throughout the past week on the metal
market conditions, and the improve
ment in prices has been steady and
gratifying. Copper reached the 16.
cent mark day or two ago, and it is
stated that there is little or no metal
available at that price. The threat
ened strike in the Butte district has
given rise TO considerable uneasiness.
for the production from Butte would be
sadly missed. Should this strike be de-
clared. the likelihood OF runaway
copper market is as good as accom-
plished, and that is something that few
desire.
The worldwide tendency towards
optimism is being reflected in many
lines of industry. but in none more
than in mining. Lead and spelter are
firm, the lack Of stocks constituting a
factor for the making of stiffcr price
that viii be oycD more impressive as
the sources OF supply become depleted.
There Is nothing more in demand than
lead and zinc with so little possibility
of increasing the supply.
With improving sentiment the stock
markets have advanced very satisfac-
torily. The upward trend last week,
especially in the copper issues. was pro.
nounced before the reaction on Friday.
The close Yesterday WAS firm and some.

there viii be reactions from tiue 10
time, this viii serve merely as brakes
lest the upward trend be too pro-
nounced. The public is coming back

During the week assurances have
been given Of good progress on the
Orem interurban road, and these as
surances were warmly received in this
city. There can be no doubt Of the
advantage of tho construction Of this
road from Payson, Spanish Fork,
Springville, Lehi, and other points in
Utah county to this city. It will open
for us great source Of farm supplies
that arc greatly needed in this city,
at rates that will undoubtedly be fa-
vorable to the consumer as compared
with the rates now paid. Every one
will rejoice in the speedy construction
Of this road.
The contract for putting in for the
city of the dams at the outlet Of the
lakes owned by the city in Big Cotton
wood canyon has been let, and il is
stated that work ON the construction
Of these dams will begin tomorrow
This is welcome news, for that work is
needed and the time for doing it is
limited

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-"Jack" Johnson.
negro prize fighter, appeared before Fed
eraJ Judge Carpenter today for trial on
a charge of smuggling a diamond neck
lace valued at $4,000 into this country
from England two years ago.
The ornament was presented to hia
former white wife. who committed sui
eide IN Chicago several months ago. The
necklace was conhscated by the govern
ment.
Judge Carpenter continued the trial In
definitely and said that he desired to dis
pose OF the indictments charging the
slave act before taking up the smuggling
case.
Johnson went directly from court 10 a
local gymnasium. where he boxed SIX
rounds with Matty Cutler, Later he
spent several hours in light indoor work
johnson declined to discuss his future
plans, but his friends declared that he
