Paris, Sept. 13.?Sweeping recommendations
for legislation designed
to help the development of agricul.
lure In the United States are contained
in an elaborate report forwarded
to Washington by the American
Ambassador. Myron T. Her rick,
who has completed an exhaustive investigation
of the system of agriculture
credit facilities in operation In
Europe.
The work of gathering and corny!}Ing
material for the formulation of
plans for an efficient land and agricultural
system has been carried on
under Instructions from President
raft and Ambasador Herrick has
been assisted by a commission which
reached here from the United,JjttAtes
in July. Edwin Chamberlain, ot San
Antonio, one of the commission, who
represents the American Bankers' Association,
will report to that organ,
izatlon.
The Ambasador's report recommends
the adoption -fcfLj?e United
Btates of the reltTelsaeh agricultural
cooperative credit 'ionic
Ilea. This system has been partfaMlarly
successful in Germany. It Includes
organizations composed, of
small co-operative societies, whereby
farmers are able to borrow money
for a short time on their collective
guarantee. Tt\eae societies have become
the nucleus of series of central
co-operative banks.
For Interent of Farmer.
The report al*? recommends that
persons Interested in the welfare of
the farmer should form a committee
to direct in the proper way a movement
tor the loaning of money to
farmers for a long period at iQSMlt
rates than they now obtain. The
report urges the President to plBf*
the matter before the people and
suggests the holding of 8tate conventions
to be followed by a national
convention at which a permanent
committer should be appointed. IB
this way the people would gradually
become educated to realising the necessity
of adopting uniform 8tate
laws-authorising the establishment
of new banking credit Institutions,
whose sole purpose would be to loan
money to farmers under conditions
which would permit the compelte
wiping out of the loan through the
payment of Interest over a long period.
This is the essence of the European
system.
These credit banks would be complimentary
to the co-operative loan
societies which the ambassador favors
as a first step in the financial
relief of farmers. As In the case of
co-operative societies, these new
loan institutions Is the various
States would necessitate the establishment
of credit banks In the large
commercial centers.
OCCUPYING SIDEWALKS.
Bicycle riders are still occupying
the sidewalks on West Second street,
notwlthtsanding the protests of pe.
deatrians. The rule is for the riders
to occupy the sidewalks and the
pedestrians to get out in the ditch.
MILLINERY OPENING.
l ne umereuv uiunuoi j t'Hiaunaif
menta of the city are now engaged
in preparing for their respective
openings. A detailed announcement
will be made through the celumnB of
this paper later on.
IS VERY SICK.
The many friends of Mrs. N. F.
Cozxena will regret to ascertain her
lllpess at her /residence on Pearce,
