poses. These balances represent tho
net business profit of each particular
locality-the very cream off the pan
of milk in the cool springhouse-
the creators of this surplus wealth, the
farmers, are starved financially when
they apply for loans, because the funds
of the community are in Wall street

lions reaching even to China and the
Philippines.
For years my mother has held to
the belief and has absolutely lived up
to 1t, as far as her influence and power
have gone, that every community is
entitled to the full benefit of it's pros

Jap Parties Formed About Men
Rather Than Principles.
Conditions Are Well Nigh lnexpiicable
to Many-ResuIt Is Considerable
Observation-Disclosures Periods of
Country's Political Progress.

Tokyo, Japan.-Japanese politics Is
we'll nigh inexplicable to many per-
sons, especially occidentals. The sud
den and frequent changes of cabinets.
in part or in whole, are difficult to I'M
derstand. And, while wo can make
no claim to a perfect understanding of
the mysteries, we may be able to
throw little light on the subject.
In the first place, it should be kept
in mind that political parties in Japan
ere more personal than political. Fac
lions and parties have formed around
men rather than measures, around
persons more than principles. The his
tory of political parties in New Japan
may be divided into five periods, as
follows:
1867-18S2-Embryon period
Notwithstanding period.
1890-1898-Developing period.
Observation-Disclosures period.
1911-Predominant period
The chief political parties which
have been organized in Japan during
the past 80 years have all illustrated
the point just mentioned. The first
party in the field was the jiyuto, or
liberal party, which was organized by
Count (then Mr. Itagaki, and which
consisted largely of his personal fol
lowing. The next party was the
shimpoto, or progressive party,
which was started by Mr.. (now Count
Okuma and his friends. The chief diff
ference in these two parties, SO far as
principles were concerned, was that
the liberals were more radical than
the progressives; but the greater diff
ference was the personal one. In more
recent days it has been Ito and his
proteges who have dominated the
seiyukai. Small factions have rallied
around smaller men; while personal
considerations have largely caused
splits in factions and parties.
AS ex-Mayor Ozaki has pointed out,
this feature is not unnatural surViv-
al of the feudal system. And II was
Ozaki himself who has just led bolt

Col. Green Hits Sending Surplus
to Wall Street.
Millionaire Declares That Local Bank
Balances Created by Producers
Should Be Loaned Agricultur-
lists at Very Moderate Rates.


New York-Col. Edward H. R.
Green of Texas and New York city,
son Of Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest
woman in the world, and her active as
sociate in vast money lending bust
ness that extends across the country,
has decided views of financing the
American farmer. He has practical
get-up-and-do-it ideas that have a big.
substantial bearing on the subject.
Although in business within q
stones throw Of the New York stock
exchange, Colonel Green never enters
it's portals. He is opposed to stock gam
bling. Twenty years in Texas. run
ming railroad that got its tonnage
from carrying products of the soil,
gave him a viewpoint quite at vari-
ance with the ideas of the exchange
floor
THE farmer still rocks the cradle of
our country, but often wonder how
he does it so well with no financial
scheme whatever In existence for his
particular benefit" he said. Every
body is telling how to finance the far
mer these days. 1t is almost as popu-
lar topic as better tenements' for
the city and good roads for motor
club members to use and farmers to
pay for. In all have read and heard
no one seems yet to have got down to
brass tacks with a real financial upIift
plan for the farmer.
Two phases of the farmers predica-
Eent have enlisted my personal inter-
est because they run directly counter
to the way my mother has always
handled her wealth in relation to the
public good.
First is the rate of interest the
farmer has to pay for money he bor-
rows. Government statistics show
that 10000 farmers of the United
States pay an average interest rate
OF 81 per cent upon borrowed cap
ital of about 1892 ,000,o to work
crops on land valued at $4,000. 000, 900.
Since my mother began her career as
a business woman she has never asked
more than 6 per cent a year for the
use of her money. The bulk of her
loans have been at rates considerably
below 6 per cent. In France and Ger
many the farmer gets all the money he
wants at from S7z to AZ per cent
The second phase OF the problem
have observed is the action of banks
throughout the country In sending

distinctions without differences. For
instance, on such an important issue
as the increase of the land tax the
same party has been working, now in
support, now In opposition. All par
ties and factions having too often
been found guilty of opportunism.
Another peculiar feature of parties
in Japan is the almost complete lack
of grouping on economic class lines.
There have been geographical lineups,
which have been partly economic, and
there have been attempts to line up
the business men together. But. as
indicated above, even the land tax Is
sue has not succeeded in forming any
permanent alignment, and the tariff
question has not yet affected the po-
litical situation.
The burning topic of socialism has
not made any perceptible impression
on the political world OF Japan Sew
eral years ago a socialistic party was
organized, but was speedily forbidden
and suppressed by the government.
Moreover, the anarchist conspiracy
against the emperor only served to
increase the severity of the officials
toward socialists of all kinds-good,
bad or Indifferent. Therefore, there is
no socialist party.

The Greater
Development of
Wisconsin
BY A. D. CAMPBELL,
Former State Comm ssioner
of Immigrat on.

Milwaukee.--The further develop
ment of Wisconsin furnished an inter
esting and important topic at the re-
cent meeting Of the state editorial as
ISOLATION in this city. A paper on this
subject by A D. Campbell, manager OF
the Wisconsin Advancement assocla-
ton and former state commissioner OF
immigration, constituted the leading
address on Wisconsin's undeveloped
resources. Owing to Mr.. Campbeifs
absence, the paper was read by ira
d. Bush, assistant manager. Mr.
Bush said in part:
What does the development of the
land and other resources of Wisconsin
mean to the people of the state? The
unoccupied and undeveloped areas
combined constitute at least 100000
acres of good agricultural lands. The
pndeveloped water powers of the
northern portion of the state, that In
the natural order of things will not
be generally developed except concur
rently with agricultural development,
constitute 100000 to 100000 horse
power.
These vacant and undeveloped
lands are good lands. How good is
shown to some extent by the follow
ing table of production, which is taken
from the latest United States census,
being a comparison of the yields OF
the twenty-five most northern coun-
ties, the state as a whole and the
I1ni4od Ctntoc.

When we take into consideration on

is an enormous expense for CONNER

cost for irrigation, while in still others

there are many special crops common
to upper Wisconsin, and not included
In the above, that yield handsome re-
turns, when these facts are taken I'M
der consideration, we begin to realize
what we have in the undeveloped land
of Wisconsin.
A few years ago the undeveloped
lands of upper Wisconsin were gener-
ally deemed worthless. They were so
treated by the eastern press, espe-
cially the magazines that then were
looking for the material upon which
to base their lurid articles. Nowhere
in the Federal agricultural department
could there be found man who would
say a good word for this great region
/ am glad to have had part in chang
ing this condition. Today we are get
ting good words from the eastern pub
LEGATIONS. A recent publication under
the authorship of L,ember of the
Federal agricultural department gives
a description of the opportunities in
all the states and Wisconsin leads all
the rest. Everywhere people are look
ing to Wisconsin as the place for agri-
cultural extension.
But this is a time of commercialism,
and land settlement is no exception.
Concerns in all parts of the country
are appealing for patronage. Great
railroads are making their greatest en-
deavor to settle the vacant lands along
their lines in the west and south. Many
states are making large appropriations
many times larger than Wisconsin,
so that many homeseekers go to other
regions who would have done much
we are to get the people we should
have for the more complete develop
ment of the state, we must enter the
competition aggressively.
AS the Wisconsin Advancement as
ISOLATION is engaged in a campaign for
development rather than for the mere
sale of land, it is essential that set
tiers shall not be disappointed when
they come to the state. My conception
land in this am supported by my SUI
perior officers) is that we must con-
vince, not merely influence, the people
who are to be the farmers of upper
Wisconsin. We must provoke inquiry
on the substantial phases of the stu
alton, and to do so, we put forth the
following questions:
Why does Wisconsin grow larger
crops on the average than other
states?
. Why does Wisconsin sell more high
priced seed grains than all other states
combined?
Why has Wisconsin more dairy COWS
than any other state?
Why is the dairy industry increas-
ing in Wisconsin faster than in any
other state?
Why does Wisconsin capture more
prizes in national contest than any
other state?
