evidenced by nearly every State in
the union having companies charter

charter laws. Not a few foreign cor

come to Dover when seeking incor-

Delaware is naturally the gamer
from a financial standpoint. as the re-
port of the State treasurer shows
the annual franchise tax on charters
for 1916. from January to July 8,
1916. to have been S100,630.Oe. which
is about $40 900 ahead OF last year.
The amount OF State tax paid with
the charters filed in the office Of the
secretary Of state from January l,
1916 to June 1, 1916. amounted TO
$50, ,992.69. This does not include the
month of June, as the amount of tax
paid for that month has not as yet
been compiled at the State treasur
er's office.r However. as June was an
exceptionally big month it is more
than likely that the revenue for that
month from this source alone, will
bring the total for the six months VI
to 100000 OF more.
/ The total State tax paid with char

amounted to S117,3SS.98. and as the

Baseball didn't get much publicity
in the early days, and the first game
which was dignifed by mention in
print, was played in 1858. In that
year the New York Sunday Mercury
and the New York C.pper began 70
sit up and take notice that there was
such a pastime. II was Just 63 years
ago. on July 5, 1858, that the
Knickerbockers and the Gothams
of New York played a game which
was reported in the Clipper with a
tabulated score giving the number of
runs scored by each player. This was
the daddy of the box score Of today.

tails now necessary to the adequate
enlightenment Of the fan. The Knick-
erbookers won p TO IL, every member
Of the victorious club scoring at least
one tally, while Brotherson and Dicf
each made four runs. and Adams

the Gothams were scored BY two
players, Vail and Pinckney. who got
three each. Three of the Gothamites
failed to make the circuit.
The Knickerbockers and the Goth
ans were the leading baseball clubs
Of America at that period. In 1854
they figured in the first Of the dia-
mond's drawn battles, playing IL in

that is absolutely all the benefit that
the Reserve Bank Act holds out to
farmers. 1t invites you to put your
head into trap, to submit yourself
to the liberality and benevolence of
your banker.
Now what is the sense of anybody
setting up claim that it is impossible
to provide personal credit co-opera-
tive system for financing farmers
without real estate security? There
isn't a country in Europe where the
falsity of that claim is not demon
strated.
We don't usually look upon Italy
as the most progressive of the Europ-
can nations i'll finance and commerce.
We think of Italy in connection with
its big picture galleries rather than
with its hard, practical business
machinery, yet Italy has solved the
problem of personal credits which
these Democrats say cannot be solved
in enlightened America. In Italy
there are more than 900 personal
credit banks actually owned by the
borrowers. They were started on the
basis of the collective credit of in
dustry only, and through a series of
years the total losses of these 900
banks aggregated only 6-100 of l per
cent, of their lonas. Similar credit
institutions are so successful in Ger
many, France, Denmark, Sweden,
England, and the smaller countries of
Europe, as to make the assertion that
they are not possible, simply ridicul-
GUS, yet the Democratic Congress is so
eager to glorify its Bank of Banks"
the Reserve Bank system, that it can
not think out any way whereby the
honesty, the character, and the in
dustry and intelligence of American
farmers can be financed safely.
In other words, the Democrats
acknowledge abject failure in their
attempt to give what the Republican
platform demands-"An effective sys-
tenn Of Rural Credits as opposed to
the ineffective Law purposed by the
present Democratic Administration"
OF course, l do not know exactly
how the problem will be solved by the
Republican Congress next winter. l
simply know that even those Republic
cans who voted for the Hollis Rural
Credits Bill say they recognized that
any law establishing any form of
rural credits is better than no law,
but that they are counting upon quick
action when they get into power, in
correcting the bungling machinery OF
the Hollis Law. and that they all rec
ognize that the Law does not go half
way until 1t takes care of the landless
man. have talked with many of the
members of Congress on this subject.
They have quoted to me Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan's assertion that
Character is the very best security
for loans" Collective character,
collective credits, increase that Sc
curity just as the waving together of
many strands of a rope increases even
the total strength of the several
strands taken separately.
