INCREASE WATER SUPPLY
Texarkana City Councils May Accept
 C0mpany's Proposition.

Texarkana, April 14.-At meet ing of business men at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium, a proposi- ton was submitted by w. H. Roth, secretary of the Texarkana Water Corporation, looking to settlement of the controversy pending for the last three of four years between the city and water company. The com plaint of the city was the result of the insufficiency of the water supply.
 Mr. Roth, whose home is in Phila- delphia, suggested that his company would at once spend $170,000 to ob- tain the necessary increase in water supply provided the city councils on both sides of town will grant an in- crease in water rate charges of from 9 to B 13 per cent, this increase in rates to date from July 1 next Sev- eral talks were made, practically all of which favored accepting. Mr. Roth S proposition. The meeting voted to re- quest the two city councils to carefully consider the matter as suggested by Mr. Roth, and if possible to effect a settlement on an equitable basis of the pending differences.

taxation. In letter to the senate cSHamittee he said:
 ''tt will be a grievous blunder to re- sea the tax-exemption clause as ap- ptied to either the joint stock or the federal, land banks and it would be a serious blow to the system to drive either type of these land banks out of business. The two types of banks are demanded by the investing public and ace demanded also by the borrowing public.
 When the original act was passing through it's various stages in congress. we fully investigated the viewpoint of the Investors. We found that many whe are interested in farm mortgages CT loans on farm lands said: We would prefer the bonds of the federal land banks because they would repre- seat the joint or cooperative liabili- ties of scores of small farmers, and they are, after all the backbone of the nation. When they fail we are all lest We found about an equal num- Der who insisted: We want bonds is- sued by joint stock banks with double liabilities, with limited right to issue bonds (only 15 times their stock con- pared with 20 times for the other) and with bonds based upon farms of indi- vidual, large-scale farmers where sania supervises brawn.'
 Farm Bonds Safe investment.
 ''Et was clear to us that there were two classes of farmers to serve, those who wanted to form associations, and those who wanted to go it alone
 ''rhe two classes of farmers and the two classes of investors and therefore, tive sources of funds for the develop ment of agriculture, all looked toward more food for our great urban centers, which. if it would not mean lower prices. would at least mean that prices would not go so high as otherwise would be the case.
 You may be interested as to the situation in foreign countries during the war. Even in Germany during the war, the two types of banks (the joint stock and the cooperative banks) con- tiuued to thrive side by side. I am told that the bonds of the stock banks sold better than government bonds, wslle the cooperative land banks Uandschaften) bought large blocks of government bonds. In other words, governments may come and go, may rise and fall and change form. and government securities may be accepted by the new government or may be dis claimed, but bonds based upon farm mortgages are as good as the land it. self. which is as enduring as the world and more permanent than life itself"
