- 1 DECEMBER 1912. GOVERNORS ACT Oil RURAL CREDIT PLAN Committee Named to Draft Uniform Legislation to Be Offered to States. THANKS VOTED TO TAFT President in Address Says No Sub- Ject Is of Greater Importance Than Improvement of Facili ties of Agriculture. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The confer ence of Governors here today took of ficial action to further the extension of. rural credits, after listening to an ad dress on the subject by President Taft. It appointed a committee to draft uni form legislation to be submitted to the states. The Governors designated for this service were: Governors O'Neal, Alabama, chairman; Johnston, of Cali fornia; Plalsted, of Maine; Foss of Massachusetts; Hadley, of Missouri; Harmon, of Ohio: Mann, of Virginia; McGovern, of Wisconsin, and Carey, of Wyoming. President Taft, in the course of his. address, said: . "We are not going to adopt a system over night It is going to take a con siderable time before the country shall receive the benefit of it, but the earlrer we begin the agitation, the earlier we shall achieve the purpose we have in' bringing the matter to the attention of the public. Farm Problem Moat Important. "There is no subject." continued the President, "of greater Importance to the people of the United States than the Improvement of the agricultural methods, the keeping them up to date In all agricultural communities, the . securing of profits to the farmer, the attraction of the young men of the country to farming as a lucrative pro fession, and the lowering of the cost of producing agricultural products and lowering of their prices to the con sumer. "We have great capital In this coun try and we have farming property that Is producing farm products of Immense value. It would seem clear that with these two elements It would be possible to introduce a third by which the farm ers engaged in producing the crops should be able, in view of the value of. what produces and the value of the land on which it is produced, to obtain money on the faith of the land and the faith of the product which will enable him to expand his acreage and better his methods of cultivation and produc tion. Europe Has Developed Plan. ,"An easy exchange 'between capital and farmers with proper security has been established in European countries where the rate of interest has been low ered so the farmer Is practically on the same basis of advantage in the borrow ing of money as the business man. If this can be done abroad, it can be done here, and if abroad we find that government institutions adapted to form the conduit pipe between capital ists and farmers are suacessfully oper ating, why should we not adopt them here 7" On motion of Governor Hadley, reso lutions of thanks to President Taft for his active Interest In the idea were unanimously adopted. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, whose remarks created stormy scenes at the Richmond conference, was among the first to arrive In Washington today. To all Interviewers who asked about his utterances at Richmond, he replied: "I stand upon the official stenog ntpnlc records of the conference, and I apologize to no man for one word I have said." HEIUUCK TO HAVE ' HEARING Credit System to Be Made Part of Currency Reform BUI. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. A general credit system for the financing of farmers, as outlined by President Taft to the Governors' conference here to day, will be considered as part of the general currency reform to be at tempted by the sub-committee of the House banking and currency commit tee, it was decided today. Myron T. Herrick. United States Ambassador to France, will have a special hearing be fore the sub-committee, seeking a sub stitute for the Aldrich currency plan, of which Representative Glass, of Vir ginia, is chairman. At the Instance " of Representative Bulkeley, of Ohio, Representative Glass decided to call a special meeting of the sub-committee on either Tuesday or Thursday of next week to hear Mr. Herrick. The full committee hearings will not begin until the week of Janu ary 6. Mr. Herrick. since becoming Ambassador to France, has made a spe cial study of the system of rural credits conducted In Europe and made a com plete report to President Taft.

Not withstanding that an armistice has just been concluded, the Turks from Tara bosch made a heavy attack yesterday against the Montenegrin front. In ac cordance with orders, the Montenegrins refused to return t the Turkish fire, which did no damage.

The physician who attended Charland says that his injuries are serious. Aside from the wounds in his leg, which may make amputation necessary, he received" severe cuts and bruises about the head, although the skull was not fractured. The Eleven-mile House was formerly a roadhouse and Is situated about one mile west of Fairview, on the Base Line road. Under Charland's manage ment it has been conducted as a road side resting place and grocery store. Charland is about 58 years old.

SOUTH MAY BE REDUCED General Plan When Adopted, It Is Believed, Also Will Take Into Account Primary System of Choosing Delegates. WASHTN'GTON, Dec. 7. Republican Governors from a floxen states and party leaders In Congress, -with hora they informally conferred today, have agreed that no definite steps toward a reorganization of the Republican party and a realignment of Its working forces are practical within, a year. Opposition from Progressive Repub licans, whom It was desired to bring Into the movement, and apathy on the part of men who have been Identified with the party's greatest activity, have happened to convince the leaders in the reorganisation movement that no con certed plans should be undertaken un til late next year. A conference planned by Governors Hadley, of Missouri, and Tener, of Pennsylvania, and presided over by Governor Goldsborough, of Maryland, brought together here today Repub lican executives from states covering the entire area where the Progressive Republican tight' was most severe dur ing the recent campaign. The conference was called for an "ex change of views." and nothing further was attempted by those back of the movement. As the result of the con ference, however, It became apparent that any general plan of reorganization will embnace a reduction of representa tion from Southern states and an adop tion of primary systems for the selec tion of delegates to the National con vention of the party . Senator Think Time Too Early. Prior to the conference Governor Hadley has canvassed the Republican and Progressive forces of the Senate to ascertain the feeling toward pro posed action to strengthen the party. It is understood that Progressive Sen ators who still maintain their alliance with the Republican party gave little support to the proposal for reorganiza tion, and that many "regular Repub licans" declared emphatically that they believed It too early to attempt any concerted effort toward party rehabili tation. Those present at the conference were Governors Hadley, Tener and Golds bsrough, Eberhart, of Minnesota; Car roll, of Iowa; Pennewell, of Deleware; Oddle, of Nevada; Vessey, of South Da kota; Spry, of Utah; Glasscock, of West Virginia: McGovern, of Wisconsin: Carey of Wyoming, and Governor-elect Hanha, of North Dakota. No formal statement was Issued by the conference, and its participants declared no action had been taken as to a party conven tion next year or p. committee to con sider political conditions. Hadley Suggests Convention. Governor Hadley made a personal statement later, however, with the ex planation that he undertook to speak only for himself. He declared that the defection of 4,000,000 voters from the Republican ranks in 1912 "requires a careful consideration," and urged that a National convention be called before the beginning of the next campaign to redraft party rules so that no question could be raised over the "representa tive character" of the National Repub lican' conventions. . Governor Vesfcey, of South Dakota, one of those present. Is a Progressive National committeeman for that state. He announced that he would attend the Progressive gathering In Chicago next week. He remained In the conference, however, and participated in the dis cussion. Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, said there had been a free exchange of Re publican views and a general expres sion of hope that the Republican party could be strengthened. . Stops Tobacco Habit. Elders' Sanitarium, located at 993 Main street, St. Joseph, Mo., has pub lished a book showing the deadly ef fect of the tobacco habit, and how It can be stopped In three to five days. AS they are distributing this book free, anyone wanting a copy should send their name and address at once.' 25c or $25 No matter what price you wish to pay for a iifl we can plaae you.
