Lines on which financial support of agriculture may be organized, he said, are suggested in the plan of the fed- eral farm loan hoard and in those rural finance societies which have heen so effective in some Kuropean countries, Tauropean Systems “The cooperative loaning associa- tions of Furope have heen effective incentives to united action hy farm- ers,” he continued, “and have led them directly into cooperation in both production and marketing which have contributed greatly to the stabiliza- tion and prosperity of agriculture,"” Whether these organizations are considered as means to buying the farmers' requirements in a cheaper market, he asserted or to selling his products in a more remunerative one “the conclusion in all cases {s the same; it is that the farmer is as good a business nran as any other if he has the chance.” The manufacturer, he said, whose turnover is rapid, finds he can borrow money from the bank on short time notes when he needs working capital and his money will come back to him in time to meet his short term obli- gations. On the other hand, he con- tinued, the farmer's turnover is a long one from a year in most crops to sometimes three years in the cattle industry. Gets Only “Yet the farmer is compelled,” he declared, “if he borrows his working capital, to borrop for short periods, to renew his paper several times be- fore his turnover is possible and to take the chance that if he is called upon untimely to pay off his notes, he may be compelled to sacrifice growing crops or unfinished lives to luck. Obviously the farmer needs to have provisions adapted to his re- quirements for extension of credit to produce his working capital. He told the conference that con- cerning the grim reality of the pres- ent crisis in agriculture there can be no differences of opinion among in- formed people.” “The depressions and discourage- ments,” he continued “are not pecu- tlar to agriculture and T think it fair to say there cou!d have been no avoidance of a great slump from war- time excesses to the hardships of re- adjus‘ment. We can have no help- ful understanding by assuming that agriculture suffers alone, but we may fairly recognize the fundamental dif- ficulties which accentuate the agricul- tural discouragements and menace the healthful life of this bas absolutely necessary industry The farmer, he declared, from the very mode of his life is individualis tic and, therefore ‘“because he buys and sells as an individual, it is his fate to buy in the dearest and se!l in the cheapest market.” He contrasted with this the corporation he said, which could effect economies and ac- quire for itseif a power in the mar- kets by combinations. He said there was a misconception regarding the financial status of agri- culture, reasonahle sald, “more matter of hort Loans Financial Status “If the mortgage indebtedness farms shows, over a given period marked tendency to increase, the f hecomes occasion for cencern,” he said. “If during the same period the raflroads or the t industries con- trolled by corporatior find them- selves able to increase thelr mortgage indebtedness by dint of bond issues, ! the fact is heralded as evidence of ! hetter husiness conditions and of cap- ital's increased willingness to engage in these industrics and thus inspire larger production and better empl ment of labor. Doth t mechanism | of finance and pre-conceptions of the| community are united in creating the impression that easy access to ample capital i a disadvantage to the farm- er, and an evidence of his decay in of a With proper finunclal support for agriculture and with instrumentali ties for the collection and dissemina- tion of useful information,' he added, “a group of co-operative marketing organizations would he able to advise thelr members as to the probable de- mand for staples, and to propose measures for proper limitation of acreages in partlcular corps, The ¢ talnty that such selentific distribution of production wus to he observed would strengthen the credit of agri- culture and increase the security on which financial advances could be made to it. The disastrous cffects which arise of over production are notorious, “It I8 apparent that the interest of the consumer quite equally with that of the producer, demands measures Yo prevent these violent fluctuations which result from unorganized and haphazard production. The farmer does not demand apecial conslderation to the disadvantage of any other class; he asks only for that considers ation which shall place his vital in. dustry on a parity of opportunity with others, and enable it to serve the broadest interest.” “To this time railrond construction, financing and operation” he added, “have been ungcientific and devoid of proper conslderation for the wider concerns of the community. 1o say this is simply to admit a fact which ap- plies to practically every raflroad sys- tem in the world.” Waterways have been too long neg- lected in America, he declared, adding that “we need a practical development of water resources for both transpor- tation and power. Reduction of Waste “A large share of rallway tonnage is coal for rallway fuel" he said. “The experience of ‘railway electrification demonstrates the possibllity of reduc- ing this waste and increasing eMclency We may begin very eoon to consider plans to electrily our rallroads. Wa- terways improvement represents not only possibility of expanding trans- portation system but also of producing hydro-electric power for its operation and for the activities of widely diffused industry.” Telling of the advantages which Furope enjoys because of its easy ac- cess to the sea “the surest and cheap- est transportation facllity’” the presi- dent sald that in the United States “is presented one of the world's most at- tractive opportunities for extension of the seaways many hundreds miles inland.” “The heart of the continent, with its vast resources In both agriculfure and industry” he added, “would be brought in combination with all the ocean routes by the execution of the St. Lawrence waterw: To enable ocean- going vessels to have access to all the ports of the Great Lakes would have a most stimulating effect upon the in- dustrial life of the continent's interior. The feasibility of the project Is un- questioned and its cost compared with other great enginceriug works, would be small.” The national policy, the president said should be to encourage develop- ment of industry and commerce 8o that they might prosper side by side. Reclamation Needs “Then we have need to consider” he added, “the only and continual rec- lamation of these great areas which with proper treatment would become valuable additions to our agricultural capacity.'” To this end he continued, encour- agement should be given to every practical proposal for watering arid lands, draining swamp areas, reclaim- ing cut-over forest areas,and for pro- tection of fertile valleys from inunda- tion. The president declared there must be a new conception of the farmer's place in the social and economic scheme of’ the country. he successful farmer of today" he said, “is required to be the most ex- pert and particularly the most versa- tile of artisans, executives and busi- ness men.” ‘This conference was called,” the president reminded the deiegates “with the aim to bring about ... a general understanding of the critical situation now confronting American agriculture,” While understanding that the conference is not a legisla- tive body, he added, “we do confident- ly anticipate that the considerations here had will be helpful and {llum- inating to those immediately respon- sible for the formulation of public policy in dealing with these prob- lem The administration had given couragement and support to ever measure which it believed was cal- culated to ameliorate the condition of agriculture. 8o long as the emer- gency continues he said, it must be dealt with as such, but at the same time “there is every reason for us to consider those permanent modifica- tions of policy which may make re- lief permanent, may secure agricul- ture as far as possible against the dangers that such conditions will arise again and place it as an industry in the firmest and most assured position for the future.” en- WHIST CLUB TAKES IN MORE THAN $§70 prosperity; while precisely the same cireumstances are construed, in other industries, as evidence of prosperity and of desirahle husiness ey “Tt cannot be too strongly that the farmer must be read himself,” he added. *“This conference would do most lasting good if it] would find ways to impress the great | mass of farmers to avail themselves of the hest methods.

Comes First Manila, Jan. 21.—The American and Rilipino flags must be accorded the same respect but any attempt.to subordinate the American flag to any other borders on treason, Governor General Wood today wrote to a num- ber of sultans, datus and constabulary officers in Sulu and Mindanao. 'The letter was occasioned by information from constabulary officers in those provinces that some Moros have man- itested opposition to the use and dis- play of the Kilipino flag. Governor Gen. Wood wrote: “The United States flag represents the sovereign authority in the Ihilip- pi and any attempt to subordinate it to any other borders closel on treason. The Filipino flag represents Christian pinos, Mo nmedan FFilipinos and pagan Rilipinos equally and impartially and must be honored accordingly. “Concerning the relative value of the American and IMilipino flags 1 feel sure you have untruthfully interpret- ed words used by your government of- ficials because they know very well the position of the two flggs. The American flag represents the supreme government authority and the nation ultimately responsible without or within the Philippines for whatever takes place concerning the Philip- |\|H(’5."

TAKES IN VAST AMOUNTS First 17 Days of Present Year Saw Receipts of $1,5680,242.20, Stoeckel * Reports, In putting into enforcement the new motor vehicle law passed by the 1921 session of the General Assembly and especially the matter of registra- tions under the new fee system with its complicated formula, the depart- ment of motor vehicles found itself confronted with a difficult task. There are apparently many features of the new law the operation and policy of enforcement of which are not thoroughly understood by the public. The department had an immense volume of business around the first of the year and handled it with the best possible dispatch. An idea of the increased volume of husiness may be gained by a study of the fact that the department's receipts from Janu- ary 1 to 17 amounted to $1,590,242,29 as compared to $1,008,884. for the corresponding period last year. Motor vehicle owners, while paying | more to register thelr cars, directly: henefit by the resultant increased total as all receipts from this source must by law be turned over to the state highway department for road repairs and replacements. Constructive criticism of partment's policy is always helpful, and the department invites any one interested or aggrieved by the man- agement of the department's business to communicate with this office direct.

CITY IS PREPARING TO FIGHT SMALLPOX Health Superintendent Does Not Feel, However, That Outbreak Is Imminent. Although the board of health |is employing every precautionary meas- ure to avoid an outbreak of smallpox here, Dr. Fred Lee, superintendent of health, feels that the city may escape serious,consequences from the discase now prevalent in other parts of the state. The foreign population will serve as a buffer to keep smallpox away from the city, health authorities believe. Almost without exception, those com- ing to America from foreign countries have heen vaccinated against the disease, making them immlune. In the cases now under the supervision of health boards elsewhere, there are but a few who have taken vaccine. A meeting of the health and sani- tation committee of the school board will be held this week to discuss Dr. Lee's recommendation that children be vaccinated. If the committee feels the situation warrants such action, a special meeting of the school bhoard will be requested.
