most wonderful of all agricultural
| countries.
In Germany the rural cooperative
banks have been combined into thirty
six organizations each of which has a
central bank. The functions of these
central banks are to equalize the de-
mand and supply of money between
the local societies. The demands for
funds in the various farming commun-
tiles of a country come at different
times of the year according to climate,
the crops planted, and the methods
of marketing. When some of the local
societies need funds the others find
themselves with a surplus on their
hands. The central banks receive the
deposits of the local societies having
a surplus paying them a fair rate Of
interest, and loan the deposits to other
banks demanding funds at slightly
higher rate. The difference in inter
est paid on deposits and charged on
loans constitutes the profits Of the
central bank. Also there are two
main central banks at Berlin bearing
the same relation to the central banks
of the provinces as the central banks
do to the local societies. These main
central banks invest the surplus of the
tract for such loans as are necessary
from outside sources.
Some time ago the late Mr.. ]. p.
Morgan before the Money Trust inves-
tigating committee said that he would
rather lend a million dollars to a man
whom he could trust though he had
no security at all than he would to
man with security who was not to be
trusted. He contended that the per-
sonaI element was ths controlling fac
tor in credit. Reiffeisen has proven
this statement among people who
hadn't a cent in the world to call
their own. Without the use of dol
lar he has created wealth. He has
the thrift, the honesty, the
toll of a people. Their worldly goods
made no difference to him. Their
education was not given consideration. |
1t was simply that he believed that |
their integrity was worth a certain |
amount of money and he has brought |
to them the full value for it.
The writer was standing one day
at the outskirt of a little town in a |
Lower Rhine Province. Before him
stretched the well titled fields He
was told, the figure may not be cor
rectly remembered, that the land Of
that vicinity was worth 81, 900 an acre.

| land. OF course the land was cult
waited to the utmost OF productivity.
| Intensive cultivation is worth while on
land costing that much. The fields
were drained and there we're expensive
implements employed. Those imple-
ments had been bought by the farm
ers without the outlay OF single
mark. The very thought OF IL makes
the statement seem absurd. But they
were bought by a cooperative pur-
chasing society on credit advanced py
a cooperative credit society, which IN
turn had gotten the money without
cent of capital to start on ana the
money was being repaid by renting
out the machine to farmers. Yet II
an agent had entered that town and
had attempted to sell an expensive
piece of machinery TO a farmer What
chance would he have had. There
was hardly a man in the town VINO
could have AFFORDED the outlay IL
may be asked what ia the need OF
such societies in the United States
where the farmers can anord the
outlay But can they? They buy
Implements. Yes, but they give their
notes in part payment. Is II commended
that those notes draw low rate OF
interest? Nominally they do but the
price of the implement went up when
the farmer offered his note in pay
ment. He Is paying more interest than
is apparent on the face Of the note.
Today New York bankers are selling
bonds based upon such notes which
the bankers bought from the imple-
ment dealers at a discount. In GER
many the farmers are doing this note
business for themselves. Instead OF
the implement dealer taking the note
or extending the credit the co-opera-
tive society does so at cost and II there
is any profit the farmer shares in 1t or
else IL is spent on some improvement TO
the community by which he benefits
and for which he votes. 1t is small
wonder that the Raiffeisen principle
has so many jealous apostles 70 preach
the doctrine.
The question Of adaptability IL by
no means an easy one to answer. The
American Commission. for one thing,
finds that it lacks accurate informa-
ton as to the banking practices Of
American farmers. 1t would be
helpful thing II the Comptroller OF
the Currency or the American Bank
srs' Association could tell Just how
much the American farmers use the
banks that now exist for short time
oans. Also how they prefer to secure
heir loans.

| even longer-perhaps up to five years
for him to get his money back. In
the commercial and industrial world
everything is worked on a ninety-day
basis. Manufactured goods are made
and turned ever from middIeman to
retailer and from retailer to consumer
in much shorter time than a farmer
can ever get his profits. Therefore the
CONNER cial banks have to turn their
business topsy turvy to loan to farm
ers and their business individually
isn't big enough to make it worth
while. Also the farmers living out
side of town and being more or less
isolated are not as well known to the
bankers as are the merchants. There
fore the town banker feels that he is
taking a bigger risk when he loans
to farmer. In the United States the
farmers probably receive far better
credit accommodations from the COM
merciaI banks than the farmers OF
Europe generally speaking could from
their commercial banks because the
American banking system is more
decentralized. 1t is claimed by bankers
in many states that the farmers are
given entirely satisfactory accommo-
dations. That may be true and where
it is true there will nc. be any need
for a cooperative credit bank. But
there are many other sections of the
country where the banking accommo-
dations afforded the farmers are no.
where near satisfactory and the sys-
tenn which the American Commission
is studying IS offered TO these farmers
as a way for them to create credit
facilities for themselves.
If It can be done the American
farmers will be in a far stronger posi-
ton than they are today. Everything
they buy could be bought for cash
and at great saving. The formation
of cooperative credit societies will in
all probabilities lead to the organize
ton of cooperative buying societies
and the farmers would buy their goods
at wholesale rates. After wholesale
buying would come wholesale selling

Dorsey Studying
Demand of Conley
For an Early Trial

Solicitor General Dorsey Saturday
is looking over the demand for an i'm
mediate trial for Jim Conley which
Attorney w. NJ. Smith informally gave
to him Friday. Just what action he
will take in the matter has not been
intimated by the Solicitor who states
that he has not had time in which to
consider the demand.
Assurance that his client will be
given a trial at the present term or
have the first call on the term TO fol-
low this one is all that Attorney Smith
declares he wants. He conferred with
both Judge Ben II. Hill and Solicitor
Dorsey Friday. and made the state
ment that he had been assured no
technically would be taken advan-
tage of to prevent the negro from OBJ
tanning an early hearing.
The demand which he expects 10
file Monday, unless given absolute as
surance that the negro will be given
trial during the present term. will
cite the fact that many prisoners ar
rested several months after Conley
have already been given trials; that

Is charged has already been tried and
convicted, and there is no reason for a
further delay.

FIELDER DENIES HE
THREATENED TAFT
Attorney Declares Morse Was
Really Suffering From Bright's
Disease When Released,

THE real reason FOR Morse's par
don was that he was afflicted with
Bright's disease, and it was abso-
lutely certain that under the physical
and mental conditions of prison life he
could have lived only short time. He
still suffers from the disease, because
it is incurable, Int changed condi-
tions and rigid observance of medical
prescriptions and diet have kept him
alive thus far, and | understand, with
some show of health"
Colonel Thomas B. Fielder, prom
inent Atlanta attorney, in the above
statement Saturday denied the
charges reported through New York
papers that he had brought improper
influences to bear to seek the release
of Charles Morse, the banker, from
the Federal Prison here.
According to the reports, Colonel
Fielder was charged with having told
President Taft or the Attorney GEN
eral that unless Morse was pardoned
some other men higher up would be
implicated.
II said, however" stated Colonel
Fielder, that Morse had been con-
victed on a technical violation of the
banking laws very common among
bankers in New York, and, in fact. all
over the country"
