Cooperation \ Washington, Oct. 25.—Financing the ‘farmers of ‘the country in the mar- | keting of thei crops demands new methods of ‘extending credit so as to prevent ‘unjust price depreciation, 'M. Robingon a banker of'Los Angéles, who was. ‘chairman of the United’ States Bituminous Coal Commission, declared today in addressing the con-, vention of the American Bankers’ As- sociation. A change inthe bankers* 'point of view and the establishment by producers of cooperative market- ing agencies were suggested as means for improving present conditions. Producers Dissatistied, “There .are many evidences,” de- clared Mr. Robinson, “of growing dis- satisfaction on .the part of. the pro- dugera;vofiimgny) commodities; wha claim that they are being discrimin- ated againgt by bankers or those in control of ‘credit facilities, and there is constant agitation by such produ- cers for an extension of the! principle of cooperative marketing to remedy or at least’ relieve the situation, “Bankers must meet this problem. There must bea modification of the old attitude. Whether this ‘31 done| through banking mai inery or ing remaing to be decided. However, ducing the pressure on the producer which forces him to dispose of his crop, either at the moment the har- “| vest is gompleted, or while its move- ment is under way, as this has been too, often used as a means for price depreciation. Methods also must be discovered for lowering the cost of , financing him.” , The tendency of the cooperative or- ganizations of producers ig toward use of their great power to the dis- advantage. of - other producers,~ Mr, Robinson said. 1S Regarding current ‘practices’ in’ movement of grain “and cotton, Mr. Robinson said: 2 : “For many. years it has been ac- -| cepted as a part ofthe obligation of the’ banks gf the country to finance the movement and, storage of grain,| but no commodity, considering its: im- Portance, has shared as littlé in the financial reaources of the.country a3 has} cotton—this principally due to the lack of gdequate warehouse sys- tem In the production area and lack $ an open market ‘for paper issued against the product. % “Insufficient effort has been’ made to place cotton and its storage on a basis of credit in a form that would be readily marketable on its’ own Fortify the system against Grip and Influenza “by taking LAXATIVE BROMO.

The statement shows that | the state tax per capita has MORE THAN DOUBLED under the Nonpartisan league regime. Here are the figures: fg - The figures show the amount of tax is more’than doubled since 1915,that the amount of state tax has more than doubled, that the per capita tax has" more than doubled. League leaders point to a lower tax rate, but in accom- plishing this valuations are more than tripled. The per capita tax of $5.46 was. based on an estimated population of 685,056. The 1920 census population is 645,780, so that the per capita tax is actually even greater on the basis of actual population. as f The amount of taxes in 1920 is increased by new indirect taxation. meas- ures.
