A majority of the dollars deposit.1 in American banks today, declare members of the commission, are bound to find their way to the specu lative markets since every bank has no alternative under the present banking system than to deposit a large portion of its funds with other banks which in turn place the funds wit hthe New York or Chicago banks and turn it net to speculators unir the guise of call money. The aim of the AmMcan Commission on Agri cultural Cooperation is to estab'isn little co nk ttiva banks in ccry American J aiming community trn.-h win receive tha deposits of the Mm niunity and loan them directly to the farmers for the development of their farms. Besides the efforts to " establish thee farmers' banks, the Commission will undertake the study of the land banks of Europe, institutions' which carry on the mortgage business of the European farmers, accepting all mortgage and issuing bonds based upon them which sell on the stock ex changes and command as wide a mar ket as any railroad or municipal bond. France has a land bank with a capital of $50,000,000 controlled by the French government which brings the farmers' loans at 4.3 per cent as compared with the 8-5 cr cent paid I on an average by the American farm- era. The German land banks have aecured some $2,000)00.000 for the development of the German farms. If such a system can be established - '-; THE ABSTRACT TITLE CO. - La Grande, Ore.

Ji fevO in the United States and the billions of dollars which are poured into the speculative market by the banks can be diverted to the farmers, it is the belief of the co-oprative Commission that this country will see such a de velopment of its agricultural resouces as will solve for one and 'all the prob lem of the high cost of living. Cheap money and easy terms, say the mem bers of the Commission, would make it profitable for farmers to double the production of their farms and open up all of the vast areas of un cultivated iand in the United Staler in the course o fnot very many years. Once the co-operative banks are es tablished among the farmers, it is said, other co-operative societies will be formed and the farmers will se cure control of all the machinery for distributing and selling their pro duce. This would wipe out the mid dleman and leave the profits largely to the farmer himself.
