more far-reaching result than any de-
cision Of recent years. Among the
more important effects would be

Saloons voted out by women, near

tinue in business wherever they had

In the election of April and in

In most of these instances. involv-
ing approximately 800 cities, villages
and townships which we're put into
the dry column, the saloon keepers
or brewery interests filed contests.
Levy Meyer, general counsel for the
breweries, sent out blank forms. and
where they were filled out a reverse
decision would denable the saloon
keepers to regain their licenses.

dram shops have no recourse. mas

It Report lin the state capital was d.
vided as to whether the whole act
would be declared unconstitutional, or
merely that portion OF the statute pro-
Sviding that women could vote on less

fought the act on the basis of the

Should their contention only be sus-
tanned, the women oMceholders would

portunities! It is UP to the banker.
Can Banks supply Rural credlt7
/ have said it Is up to the banker
to supply the American farmer with
loans similar to those supplied to the
European farmer. But there are those
who say that the joint stock bank can
never meet the farmers needs a. do
cooperative credit societies and that
cooperative credit with come in spite
Of all the bankers can do. Z
DR.. Charles Mccarthy is Of this
number. He bases his conclusion on
these grounds: First, no Joint stock
bank can afford to tie Ito money up
for ong-period loans al do the credit
banks. These deposits are all short
time deposits. They have no way Of
hypothecating one series Of loans in
order to raise money for another So
ries. Their system of finance IL not
suf1ciently elastic to lend itself to tho
transactions demanded In an adequate
line Of rural credit. +.
Second: No money-making concern
can possibly serve the farmers a. 90
cooperative credit societies whose sole
aim IL to aid the borrower and to pro
tect his interests. Il;
But In agriculture system Of rural
credit cannot be substitute for
brains and business sense and q mar
ketinK system. Unless the farmer pro-
duces q good product and sells 1t to
advantage his farming will be a fail
ure. Easy loans will only make it
. bigger failure. Cooperative credit
10 important, but with It must come
better system Of marketing either
cooperative or otherwise, which will
give the farmer more than half what
is paid for the farm product. And SO
far as we can learn cooperative mar
keting is the system which win do this.
