lights to honor said in a recent letter
referring to rural credits: "If unity
and cooperation can be had in this
respect 1t seems to me that it will
aid immensely. Something of that
kind, in my judgment, is indispen-
sible to the success of any plan. But
in addition to that we must ultimate
ly come to the point where the gov
eminent itself must have much to do
with the proposition. What
we want is rate of interest you can
afford to pay, or rather, which you
can pay and live. A farmer, who
turns his capital over once a year,
If he has and to turn at all, cannot
pay the rate Of interest of those who
turn their acpital every sixty days
and he cannot trot in that class. He
must have rate Of interest and a
credit system based upon the kind
of business in which he is engaged.
Here there is not very much chance
to water the stock or over-capitalize
or steal anything"

and separate laws for associations for
other cooperative purposes. One law
could be made to fit them all, and
this would be the best plan because
then the regulations would become
standardized as regards organization,
administration and special privileges

cooperation, organized individualism

applied to all their activities. They
