To tho Editer:
In a letter published by Mr. AVhls
lor Jn yesterday's Mail Trlbunc-he at
tempts to prove his point by bringing
any nanio Into tho controversy. I
nev6"r hia'do this statement, with which
Mr. Whisler attempts to credit me,
to Mr. "Whisler or anyone else. Mr.
Whisler has taken what suited him
from an interviow published in one
of tho local papers and which, was
merely . reporter's statement, not
mine. Tho reporter got mixed in the
varieties of fruits, for which lam not
responsible. I am always ready to
back any statement which appears
over my signature; if Mr. Whisler
really wanted to know whether or not
tho statement in tho. Sun was cor
rect before "quoting" one, I was not
eo far away but that I might have
been reached. ..$ !
Even itthB reporter's "stery 'was
correct Mr. Whisler has no right to
assume that the reporter had in mind
tho same blocks which seem to bo
In controversy. Tho article referred
to no particular block, but Mr. Whis
ler presumes, by some mental pro
cess, that It must menu tho block or
block ho is thinking about. Mr.
Whisler is cither a dreamer or be
lieves himself to tie a mind reader,

INDEFENSIBLE
PRESIDENT TAlT 1ms not added to His popularity
bi'fanic by vetoing for tho second time the wool tariff
bill revising Schedule K. lie has given the nation another
instance of his innate bourbonisni.
For his first veto, the president gave the reason thnt
Congress should have waited for the report from his own
tariff board upon the subject.
For his second veto, Mr. Taft gives as a reason that
the bill does Jiot conform sufficiently to the board's rind
ings, although there is actually little difference.
The president assumes the attitude that. Congress
must abdicate its legislative rights of revising tariffs, and
place the power in a board of his own selection. Vet
there are congressmen who have studied the tariff for
years and know more about it than members of the tariff
board.
' Mr. Taft did not wait for the report of any tariff
board before approving Schedule Iv of the Payne-Aldrieh
tariff, which he admitted shortly afterwards "indefon
sible." He had good grounds for vetoing, instead of
approving this measure, "because it broke faith with "his
pre-election pledge to revise the tariff downward. 13y
his two vetoes, the president has officially prolonged this
"indefensible" robbery of1 the people, which his firbt
signature created.
The twice vetoed tariff bill was not a free trade
measure, tt carried out the principle of protection by
imposing duties of 29 per cent on raw wool and 19 per cent
on woolen clothing.
The vetoed bill was not even a democratic measure,
but a progressive republican measure. It was lathered
by Senator La Follettc, and passed both houses and senate
after the Underwood bill had met defeat in the senate.
In his speech in its support, Mr. La Follette said that it
carried out tho republican party's promise of reducing
Uq tariff downward "without disturbing in the slightest
degree a single American industry." Continuing, the
senator said: ,
"It is my judgment that there are no more iniquitous,
no more indefensible, no more harmful provisions in all
the tariff law than those contained in schedule K.
"The ad valorem rates proposed will simplify the
schedule in point of phraseology, will automatically do
away with whatever fraud there" is in the'so-ealled com
pensatory duty, will abolish the discrimination against
the poor man's cloth in favor of that of tho rich man, will
remove the discrimination against the carded-wool manu
facturer, and, without attempting to draw the line between
the compensatory and the protective duty, will automatic
ally provide for both, leaving ample protection for the
wool-grower and the manufacturer,, without leaving the
consumer completely at the mercy of the latter."
President Taft's veto is indefensible; But so was
his approval of the Payne-Aldrieh bill, so is his pet com
merce court, so are many of his official acts, and so also
is his renomination.
German Cooperative Credit System
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. llow
the German farmors have welded
their fifteen thousand and odd rural
ro-operative banks into a national
organization that places behind the
German agriculturist of today a fi
nancial power of stupendous sizo Is
shown by the Investigation wlilch 'Is
being conducted by Ambassador
Leishman, at Berlin, In connection
with President Taft's effort to es
tablish co-operativo credit In tho
United States for tho benefit of the
American farmer.
Tho average Tnral co-opcratlvo
bank-in Germany has a membership
of less than a hundred people. It is
conducted almost as a family affair
and every member is personally ac
quainted with all tho other members.
Naturally, any organization; of 'such
limited scope "would provo individ
ually an insignificant factor in tho
financial world. It quickly dawned
upon tho German farmors, aftor tho
co-operative bank idea had taken
substantial root In that country, that
if their organizations wero to secure
a commanding position in tho hank
ing world they must concentrate
their strength through unions. Con
sequently, tho leaders of tho move
ment undertook to combine the var
ious rural banks in each province.
A central co-opcratlvo bank was
established In each province, modolcd
simply as an enlarged edition of tho
local banks. Tho mombers belong
ing to the central banks wero tho
local banks. They subscribed to
stock In tho central banks to form
tho capital. Their surplus funds
wero deposited with tho contral
banks. Some money Js securod a!to
from loans from outside bantyi and
soino from loans advanced by tho two
general central banks wlilch aro a
part of tho co-ojieratlio bank or
ganization and aro to tho provincial
central banks what thobo bankB aro
to tho local banks or tho local banks
Mro to vthclr members, tho farmers.
Tho chief, function ''of those corf
tral banks Js to oqualizo tho credit
needs of tho local banks. Tho groat
prosperity attending tho local banks
gives thorn, as a whole, money
onough to finance tho farmers with
ail the loans which thoy require.
However,' this 'prosperity Is not
equally divided. Ono bank finds it
solf with a largo surplus at ono tlmo
and another bank is Jn need of a loan
to meet tho calls mado'upon it'by its
mombers. Tho slirplus of tho onV
hank is deposited with the central
hank of that province and Is, In turn,
loaned by tho central bunk to thp
other local bank' requiring additional
fuuds, Surplus funds not required
by tho local banks for loans aro In
vested either with tho general cen
tral banks or in securities. Tho
central banks lend money to tho local
banks in two ways: upon current ac
count and for fixed periods. Loans
on current account, however, form
tho great majority of tho business.
A step higher than theso provin
cial banks aro tho general central
banks. These banks extond their
operations over tho ontiro Empire.
There aro two of theso banks tho
Central Agricultural Loan Bank of
Germany at Berlin and-tho National
Bank for Co-oporatlvo Societies nt
Darmstadt. Theso banks grant loans
to" tho contral co-opcratlvo banks nnd
rccclvo their deposits, acting as
"equalizers," JiiBt as tho provincial
banks do to tho 'local banks.
In 19p9 thcse'provlncial and gen
eral central banks did a total busi
ness of $1,557,203,580. This ghes
an Idea of tho size of the co-operative
credit business of Gormnny nnd of its
Importance to the Gorman farmer.
Financial co-operation was not tho
only need folt among tho nmny co
oporatlvo societies. It was a great
movement, a now theory -which,
though immensely successful in its
original form, required development
and direction as it extended over tho
Hmplro nnd was fitted to tho differ
ing conditions of various communi
ties. Also tho co-operativo idea in
Gormnny was not confined entirely
to financial co-operation. Thoro
wero distributive co-oporatlvo socie
ties, dairying co-oporatlvo societies,
aim other kluds. Tho working
classes of Gormnny found nn idea
which would uid them in buying, in
selling, and In banking. Tho mom
bers in this natlon-wido movomont
felt tho need of co-operation among
themselves. As a result, provincial
organizations wero formod to propn
guto tho co-oporutlvo Idoa, to edu
cate tho pcoplo Jn tho movement,
mid to act as n general (Icfcimo asso
ciation 'for tho ontiro membership of
tho co-oporatlvo movomont. Theso
provincial organisations wero in turn
combined in national oiganlzatlons,
At 'first there woro two national fed
erations (as they woro termed) and
theso two maintained a separate ex
istence for some yeais. Thoy oven
worked at cross purposes In muny In
stances, But tho natural similarity
of tholr motives finally lead to a
consolidation, nnd today thoro Is but
tho'ono national federation tho Na
tional Federation of Darmstadt, In
1880 n law was passed adding to tho
duties of this uutloiuil federation tho
