SAFETY FOB EXPORTS

As long as the war lasts we must recognize that great Britain or any other bengerent power policing ;he sea in its own interest will maintain the right to inspect cargoes in quest contraband merchandise When we accept that fact is easy to the absurd iu of such a crude method the overhauling and searching of vessel at sea- or it's dentenuon for iu spection in foreign port The sensible thing to do is for the United States to arrange with Great Britain system of inspection that will make little trouble as possible for everybody concerned
 Diplomatic negotiations seem to be accomplishing something in that direction It is suggested that the Lest time to examine export cargoes is before they leave cur ports If the examination is honest, and the ships contents are clearly and fully indicated in the manifest there is no reason why any British warship should subject the carrier to the mdignty of search and the inconvenience of delay.
 Great Britain seems disposed to take the word of trustworthy exporters and of American customs inspect CTS British and French consus also might properly act as inspectors of our foreign shipments We do not want to do any questionable or dangerous business with any Of the berieerents Aside from the moral issue and the menace of war entanglements it wouldn't pay in the long run We want to carry on a legitimate trade without molestation and are wiling to make any hon. orable arrangements to that end

THe FARMERS CREDIT

It is strange that the biggest and soundest industry i, tbe United States is financed most inadequately
 There can be doubt that agricultural land is the Lest security in the world The land is permanent as- et growing in value with the growth of population. sr values have risen faster his country uan any o,b.r form of property except building lots boom t,s,s win modern scientific methods even poor farm lands offer almost umitess opportunities for profitable development And yet the money sought for such deyel- opnept costs the average farmer per cent year. while almost any business man in any other industry can get whatever money he needs for or DOT cent
Bisbee daily review., 1915-01-05


 The whole nation has been deepy concerned of late by the weakening of the railroads evedt And yet agriculture is far important tho railroads is primal basic and supreme constitute the largest class of our citizens The rural population is larger than Che urban The products of our farms worth ten billions of dollars year, the total value of farm lands with their equipment and stock in the enighborhood of forty billions than twice the value of the railroads The railroads borrow money at per while the farms pay and three times that much
 Two years ago visited government irrigation prof ccs in many sections of the West Everywhere l found amazing fertility of soil and possibilities of ndepend once and wealth for the intelligent farmer. But every where found skilled, industrious farmers starving the richest land in America just because they lacked capital, and therefore could not command the labor recessary to develop the soils productivity and equip their farms with live stock machinery and buildings There was no question of the value of their property and yet they money less than 10 12 per cent with perhaps bonus" added if they could borrow at all
 It is almost the same elsewhere. The owner of the old eastern farm who might develop it fruitfuness unframed of by his forefathers cannot do because he cannot afford to pay the interest demanded The owner of the rich prairie lapds pay much for his loans It is the chief reason for the exedos of young men from country It is the chief reason for abandoned farms"
 Turn to Germany which is land of small farmers who their farms, and which. with smaller area than Texas and soil less fertile than ours pro duces % per cent of the food consumed by nearly TO- oOOOoO people Ii the German farmer wants to borrow money carry his crop" he get it for per cent if he wants long time loan to buy farm or develop one he can get it for less And with small additional payment amortization" he eliminate the prn orle gradually without feeling it. making total annual payment lees than farmers pay for interest alone
 I France a farmer can borrow at an average of 12 pc cent year In Denmark and New Zealand he bor row for per cent
 These countries. you see have rural credit systems (Germauys is so sound that its bonds sell higher than government bondsl We have no system all And
 thus even under the new banking plan that distributes he rot.,ps money more uniformly throughout the coun sy stn easy the big stock speculator get all the money he wants and hard for the farmer to get wha ne needs
 In the last presidential campaign every political r,-ty declared in favor rural credit banks Last year a biz federal commission visited Europe to study hc problem. There is now pending in the United state. senate b based on that commissions report The gov .rnment would not go into the banking business itsef but would simply establish the system and act as um oire between the money lenders and the borrowers.

 WHAT STATE NEEDS

PHOENIN. Jan 4--That Arizoua's resources are all that can be desired, but that a much freer flow Of capital into the state is the key necessary to develop them, was the statement made here today by ]. D.

We hope that Che coming legislature will start this change, but the work will have to be kept up until an the needless re- sricuous which are now thrown about capital in Arizona are re- moved
 MT Leeper is just returning from ! Little Rock Arkansas where a stock holders meeting of his company re- gently voted the issuing by Che stock holders themselves, and the mine will be reopened in about two months. Mir. ] Leeper made 1t clear that his stock holders would go ahead in spite of an ] handicaps which now exist as they believe their proper is an unu5ial
 one. but be expressed the opinion that
 much could be done ln this state in the way of new development until a
 change occurred in our attitude to-
 ward capital Leeper Is a represents tive from Yavapai county in the state legislature.
