members. 1t is not entirely proper to
quote the interest rates of these Ger
man institutions as the basis of direct
estimates of what the American insti-
tutions could be expected to accom-
pIish. II may be mentioned, however,
that in 1911 when the average of the
German Imperial Bank rate was 4.40
per cent, the central cooperative banks
averaged on loans to members from
4.55 to 4.57 and paid on deposits an
average of $40 at the beginning OF
the year and 3.67 at the close. These
figures are taken from the Cahill re.
port. They show how cheaply the
central banks supply the funds re-
CURED. 1t is Interesting to note that
the deposits of the local societies
with the central banks in some years
make up as much as 95 per cent of
the entire funds required by the ru-
raj bank system. This shows how
nearly the deposits of individuals

society. In the Raiffeisen Union the
entire question of credit to be extend
ed to local banks is based upon a de-
tailed statement of the resources OF
the individual members of the local
societies, instead of upon the stock
holdings of the society. These indi.
yidual appraisements are based princi-
pally upon tax payments and since
most of the members are landowners
the system is safe and satisfactory. 1t
would seem, however, that in an
American system both checks might
be employed-that is, the credit ex-
tended to local societies could be
based upon their share holding and
liability assumed, but only in the event
that the assumption Of such liability
seemed warranted by the detailed
statement of resources of individual

with local societies can come to sup
plying the short time credit needs OF
the farmers of a nation. In times Of
tight money, of course, the central
banks would have to borrow consid-
erably more from outside sources and
in the beginning of the system in the
United States the deposits would no.
where near suffice. The German So
cieties, it must be remembered, have
been doing business for mor than
half a century and have thoroughly
established their credit. It is probably
true in Germany, though there is no
information upon this point, that the
central banks have to borrow most OF
their outside money at one season OF
the year. Undoubtedly in the case OF
in the fall would be much heavier
than at any other time. The tightness
of money at that season would cost
the farmers of the country dearly. Nc

\ FAIR LIMIT.

The Interior Department at Wash
iugton perhaps realizes by this time
that It was tack,ing hurculean un-
dertaking when It sought TO make a
set of rules and regulations govern
ing the leasing ~ the Usage nation
for oil and gas development and as
the actual work Of making these
leases is carried on It win be able to
learn many things which could not
be foreseen. For instance In the orig
inal regulations the pipe lines were
barred entirely. on the eleventh OF
last month an amendment was made
granting the pipe lines the privilege
Of leasing on the same terms with tho
individual who can go as high as
%, 600 acres II was an impractical
prohibition to bar the pipe lines. an
injustice to the independent produc-
er as well as to the pine lines, As
long as the pipe lines were barred
the limit Of $4,000 acres for any
individual or corporation did not seem
unreasonable. Some independent
producers are opposed 10 the pipe
lines having as high limit as other
bidders. The World has always fiv-
ored cutting the leases up in as small
tracts as possible and It believes this
plan should be adhered to. II does
not seem that leases ought 10 be IN
excess Of ten thousand acres at the
most and many fair-minded produc-
crs favor the limit Of $500 acres one
OF the best Informed and most nflu-
entlal men connected with the oil
business In the United states recent
~ said 10 The World that he felt that
a limit of not more than 10000 acres
would bc fair to all concerned and
he IS connected with the Oh business
IN a manner to make his views Of
great importance. So 1t Is reason
able to presume that $500 acres is a
fair limit and the department should
take prompt steps. now that the
tanglc with the Usage council has
been staightened out. to alter the
regulations In conformity Herewith.
