ANOTHER OPINION
As the authorized representative of
the Farmers Union Joe E Edmond
son state organizer and lecturer for
the Union made the statement in an
address in Wills Point that the pur-
pose of the the Union was to make
better business men out of the farm
crers If this were all the union had
in view for its membership it wouid
be sufficient to commend it to the
favorable consideration of all classes
for certainly the sooner farming is
recognized as a business and the far-
mer as a business man the better it
will be for the farmer and conse-
quently the better It will be for the
rest of the world Farming is not
only a business but it is the greatest
business in the world but the trouble
is those who are engaged in it have
never seemed to regard it as a bus <
ness Where would the man engaged
in any branch of the mercantile
world be if he sold his goods without
any regard for what they cost him o
without knowing what they cost him
He would stay out of the bankruptcy
court only long enough for the whole-
saler to discover his methods Yet
how many farmers can give any ac-
curate idea of what their farm pro-
ducts cost them How many make
any effort to know
Farming should be the most profit-
able and pleasant of all occupations
because it is the natural calling but
it is evident that it cannot be this
until the great army of men engaged
In it apply to it safe sound and sane
business methods Education should
be the watchword and the responsi-
bility of leadership in the campaign
of education rests upon those capable
of being leaders The first lesson in
the business schooling of the farm is
that of diversification of the products
of the farm so that of the necessities
and comforts the family may be pro-
vided for without sacrificing the
staple crops of corn and cotton With
this lesson well learned and a major-
ity of the tillers of the soil in a
financial condition that they can mar-
ket their cotton and corn only when
the price yields them a profit on their
labors a long step will have been
taken toward the establishment of
more comfortable homes on the farm
better rural schools better publio
roads better social opportunities and
that means better progress along all
lines Wills Point Chronicle
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The national capital continues to
grow in wealth and population in spite
of the hard times The annual as-
sessment just completed gives the
real estate valuation as 205324834
an increase of 8000000 over the pre-
vious year There are found to be
G5649 buildings in the district 1377
having been erected in the year re-
viewed The growth of Washington
is of national interest It has long
passed the critical stage of Its exist-
ence when men still doubted if It
would ever be anything more than a
straggling town Today it has passed
the 300000 mark and its aspect is
urban without being obtrusively so
It is a great residential city and
though on a great trade route between
the north and south obstinately per-
haps wisely refuses to become a
mart or emporium An artifical cap-
ital it is precisely like St Petersburg
which was also built with the set
purpose of becoming the seat of a
national government The two cities
have grown and flourished around the
offices of administrative activity thus
proving that a location essentially
commercial is not a condition pre-
requisite to the development of capi-
tals Boston Transcript
WHERE THERE ARE NO SAVINGS
BANKS
The declaration at the Denver con-
vention of the American Bankers As-
sociation that postal savings banks
were unnecessary because private en-
terprise would supply all the facilities
needed has its answer in the return
just made by the comptroller of the
currency in regard to savings banks
This shows that the south has sav-
ings banks in only four states Cali-
fornia is the only state with savings
banks on the Pacific coast Between
Iowa and California there are only
nineteen banks in Nebraska and Col
orado Missouri Arkansas and Texas
have no banks according to this re-
port States south of Mason and
Dixons line from Virginia to Texas
with 24000000 of population in 1900
and about 300000000 today have
only fortyfour banks and 67257 de-
positors These are nearly all new
banks and in two years they have
doubled their depositors and increased
their deposits two and a halt fold Yet
the amount of deposits 15596247 is
trivial for 30000000 people Philadel-
