LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Cleveland, Ohio, December 1, 1915. THE HON. FRANK B. WILLIS, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Governor Willis: I am in receipt of your two letters of November 26 informing me that in pursuance of the authority conferred on you by Laws of Ohi o 105-106, 1914-1915, House Joint Resolution No. 38, you have appointed me as chairman and Hon. O. N. Sams of Hillsboro, Ohio, and Hon. L. J. Taber of Barnesville, Ohio, as the two other members of the OHIO STATE COMMITTEE ON RURAL CREDITS AND COOPERATION. In accepting this high honor, of which you have kindly deemed me worthy, I would say that I fully appreciate its heavy duties and responsibilities, and that I hope that I shall be able to perform and discharge them satisfactorily to you and to my State. I note in your letter to me the following clauses: 'It will be the duty of this Committee, in accord with said Resolution, to submit a report on rural-credit conditions within this state, together with suggestions and recommendations as to needed legislation in this field. 'I would also make the additional request that for the benefit of the rural-credits movement as a whole, and with particular reference to conditions in this State, you make a preliminary report descriptive of the institutions or systems for rural credit on which a system for Ohio might be modeled. You will of course have the cooperation of the other members of the Committee in formulating any such report.' I have prepared, with the assistance of Mr. R. Ingalls, and herewith submit, with Mr Sams' approval, the preliminary report that you request. Mr. Taber, however, is in California and has not seen this preliminary report; so we two other members wish it to be considered only as an expression of our personal views, in no way binding on the Committee. Upon Mr. Taber's return the Committee will meet and formulate plans for action. Without any unnecessary delay it will, in accord with the Resolution, submit to you a report containing the findings of the Committee, together with its suggestions and recommendations as to what changes in or additions to the laws of Ohio should be made, and what other steps should be taken in order to improve rural credits, banking and financial facilities, and to effect the cooperative organization of the farmers of this state. Very respectfully, MYRON T. HERRICK." [SOURCE: Herrick, Myron T and Ingalls, R. How to Finance the Farmer: Private Enterprise--Not State Aid.
