Of Their Findings

Long Time Loans Upon Land

Collective Security
SUGGEST EUROPEAN PLAN

OLYMPIA. Dec. S.-Senator Met.
calf and Representative Black. Wash.
ington members of the American rural
credits commission, have gust made
at the request of Governor Lister, a
final report on the agricultural credit
needs of this state. One copy Of
this report, based on a thorough
study of European credit systems as
applied to the needs of this state,
has been filed with the governor,
while Senator Metcalf took another
copy this week to meeting of the
American commission at Washington,
D. C.
The "Landschaften system" which
allows farmers to band together to
obtain long time loans for district i'm.
provement is recommended for adop'
tion by the Washington commission

To guarantee security for such
long time loans, however, the farm

not to rob the soil. the commission

The first section of the report
which is of the utmost interest to
Washington farmers, as the present
session of congress is expected to
enact legislation following the report
of the American commission. is print
ed below. The balance of the report
will be printed in succeeding issues
of this paper:
To the Governor of Washington.
Olympia, Washington.
Pursuant to your request for re-
port upon the agricultural needs OF
the state. for transmission to the
Permanent American Commission on
Agricultural Finance. Production,
Distribution. Rural Life:
The soil and climate of Washington
are unsurpassed for agriculture. Il
is the one state capable of produc-
ing practically everything needed. Its
progress and the happiness and pros
perity of it's people would continue,
if it were separated from the rest OF
the world by an impossible wall
Loan System Suggested
In Washington as elsewhere the
farmers are under capitalized. a
system of very long time farm loans
is needed on the amortization plan
This can best be secured on the
Landschaften system of collective Sc
curity. This state has extended this
system from cities and counties and
school districts to port districts, dix
ing districts, drainage districts, irri
CATION districts and agricultural de
velopment districts. 1t should be ex

for loans for thirty years or longer

more than ordinarily a happy one.
Neither was he in financial difficult

The last heard of. him was two
weeks ago in Baltimore, when he
wrote that he would he home the
following day. Since then a friend has
been to Baltimore and has had the
assistance of the local police force in
the search, hut no clue has been OBJ
tained. 1t is believed by parties here

The exact cause of the explosion is
