AIMED AT BURIAL SOCIETIES.
Johnson Introduces Bill Expected to
Prevent Extortion.

A bill which is aimed at abolishing
the so-called burial societies in the
District of Columbia was introduced
into the House today by Representa-
tive Johnson of Kentucky. chairman
of the House District committee. The
members of these societies are chiefly
servants and laborers. The title of
the bill is ito prohibit the practice of
extortion upon the hungry, the naked.
the sick and the dead in the District
of Columbia, and for other purposes.
Following Representative Johnson's
theory that there is an organized at
tempt made in the District to rob
the weak and afflicted right and left.
the bill makes it a misdemeanor for
a doctor. dentist. undertaken. grocer.
ETC., to work through any society. II
the bill is enacted it would stop the
sale of food, raiment or burial equip
ment through these societies, the theory
of the bill being that extortion is
sometimes practiced on the poor in
that way.

Two Systems in Vogue.

These European credit systems he
added, ARE OF two kinds. those providing
personal, short-time credit for operating
purposes and those providing longtime
mortgage credit for works of permanent
development and purchase.
The more highly developed short-time
credit systems, said the report bring all
the farmers together in an organization
where they assume personal liability for
the society's debts. The society pays in
terest on deposits and loans to its MEM
bers at ) or per cent, and gives to each
band Of farmers the money with which it
can finance cooperative selling, buying
and producing. organizations.
The other kind of credit is found in
mortgage bond societies which hold long
time mortgages bearing a moderate inter-
est. and automatically discharging part
Of their principal each year.
This form OF mortgage credit would
mean more money for machinery, more
for purchasing land and for developing
poor land" said Senator Fletcher in his
report. 1T means fewer tenants and
more owners. 1t means better rural life
conditions.
The preliminary statement prepared by
the rural credits commission and con-
tanned in Senator Fletchers report said,

Organization Highly Developed.

The organization for the provision of
personal credit facilities are as highly
developed as are the systems of COM
mercial banking. The prevailing rate OF
interest paid by the farmers for short
time loans is from to SO per cent The
terms offered European farmers are gem
orally better designed to meet the Pc
culiar requirements of agriculturists than
are the terms obtainabie today by the
American farmers. -. .
The personal credit organizations. 1t
added. are usually cooperative societies.
These short time credit. societies fur
nish cheap, safe and elastic credit to
their members by reason of their control
by farmers and are organizations exciu-
siyely in the interest of farmers who
operate them at nominal cost and with
out seeking dividend profit to such soci-
eties,' said the statement.
1T is the opinion Of many leaders OF
this movement in Europe that the ques-
ton of rural credit ought not to be
divorced from cooperation for business
purposes and the general organization Of
community life in rural districts. The
studies of the commission emphasizes the
necessity of defining the functions. OF

This was the message from the Amer
lean commission on rural credits deliv-
cred to the conference of governors here
yesterday in a report by Senator Duncan
L. Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the
commission. The first general report upon
rural credits and cooperative farming
enterprises.
1.-The commission is deeply impressed
with the vital Importance of thoroughly

said Senator Fletcher, in an authorized
statement from the commission which he
included in his report.
Europe Offers a Lesson.
In this respect the countries of Eau
rope offer lesson which may not long
be disregarded in America without seri-
Gus consequences. The agricultural in
terests of most European countries Wis
tied by the commission are organized
along one or more of the following lines:
Credit. production. distribution and So
cial organization for the betterment of
country life
Definite recommendations by the COM
mission as the result of it's extensive in
vestigation Of European farming credit
systems will not be formulated until Ger
tain committees have gone through q
GRAFTON of the entire commission.
Senator Fletcher made it clear how
ever, that emphatic recommendations
would be made for a system of rural
banking, through which farmers could
obtain better loans, and through which
they could finance their own cooperative
producing, buying and selling organiza-
tons.
President Wilson'S recent statement
that "a distinct system of banking must

was referred to by Senator Fletcher as a
promise that federal legislation will soon
be taken Zip, with view TO. relieving
the> financial handicaps under which
American farming is carried on.

Austria Plans to
Add to It's Army

VIENNA, Sept BIT is reported
that at the autumn session of the
Austrian and Hungarian delegations a
proposal will be put forward for the
increase in the recruiting contingent
of the landwehr by $4,000 men, and
that of the infantry by $4,000. 1t
will also be proposed that the artillery
shall be increased by 10000 men.
If these proposals are accepted the
Austrian standing arrfy will consist
of $4,000 men. The cost of this in
crease in military forces will amount
to 100000 kronen. The Neue Freie
Presse states that the artillery reor-
ganization scheme provides for a bat
terry of six guns to be added to each
of the forty-two field gun regiments.
By this additioneach infantry division
would possess one field gun regiment
of six siX-gun batteries and a how
itzer division consisting of two bat
teries, each of six howitzers.
The fourteen heavy howitzer di-
visions will have additional third bat
teries, which are to be armed with a
new fifteen centimeter steel howitZer
1t is hoped that the additions will be
completed by the end of 1915 or the
beginning Of 1916, so that by that
time an infantry division in either the
landwehr or the Honved artillery will
have the same artillery effectiveness
as a division of the Hungary
army

Tourists Planning
California Rush

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.-The
tourist class of Americans is planning
to visit California in 1915 during the
exposition period and to make their
European trips in 1914, according to
William J. Fogarty, agent of Thomas
Cook & Son in Los Angeles, who
bases his statement upon reports re
ceived from the various agencies Of
his company throughout America
"We find that those many thou
sands of Americans who are accus-
toned to go abroad every year and
spend perhaps $20O,OOO,OOO on the
continent and in Great Britain, al
ready are expressing their determine
ton to stay in their own country in
1915 and come to the expositions, while
inquiring about journeys they wish
to make in 1914" said Mr. Fogarty.
This is significant Of tie wide
spread interest taken by the American
public in the California expositions
and it means that vastly more money
will be spent here by visitors that
year than has ever been expected by
the most sanguine native son.
"Our business here in Los Angeles
for the first ten months of our fiscal
year ending October 81, shows a gain
Of 80 per cent over the corresponding ,
period Of last year and indicates the
popularity of Los Angeles as a tourist
center from which world travellers
start forth"
