Washington, April 25. The exec utive committee of the American Farm Bureau federation, which has been in session for the past two weeks, endorsed the principles of the McFadden-Kenyon rural credit and multiple insurance bill. At the hearings before the federation's . fi nance committe on this bill, it was shown that cattle insurance rates in some states were 220 per cent in excess of those in other states, and fire insurance rates paid by farmers of some states were 300 per cent in excess of those of other states. The McFadden-Kenyon bill pro- v!rti fnr the creation of two sep arate corporations, namely, a rural credit society ana multiple insurance league, by special federal charters. The multiple insurance charter would authorize doing of all classes of in surance, such as many foreign insur- :itiro rnmnanies have done for vears. The bill provides further that . one of the best companies oi eacn line arrant such fedpral multiole insur ance charter and operate thereunder for the people ot the union, insteaa of operating for their particular sec tions, as is the case in manv' in stances. That is, one of the 1,000 mutual tire insurance companies A hp induced tr accent this charter and do the farmers' fire in surance all over the union until every line of insurance was covered. Tt is rnntenHerl that the reason the European farmer obtained credit for agricultural production at from .11.2 in -4 1-2 npr cent before till war was because he furnished better security through cheap and sound multifile insurance than the averaiTC American farmer furnishes. That is, the European farmer did not risk all his eggs iu one basket, but by inenrinc ao-ainst iinforseen contin gencies he was not down and out one year and living in clover tne next, as is too frequently the case in this country. ipanese Crown Prince Is Guest for Three Days at Malta Malta.
