From its list Of over II 600 corres-
pondents the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation has gathered statistics which
give the estimated yield for the pres
ent year Of 9,444,314 bales Of cotton.
In view Of the fact that Fall River
markets are bare Of spot cotton goods
and sales are being made for delivery
not later than February, and also be.
cause oyer 100000 new spindles are
being added to the cotton machinery
in foreign countries, the association
thinks tho prevailing price :eo !ow
and urges the farmers to hold for an
advance. The textile mills OF the
world, It is said, have sold this crop
far in advance and at prices which
will justify them in paying several
cents per pound more than they are
paying OF present. The market for
tho sale OF cotton goods is constantly

The corporations arc favored none
too much under the stringent provis-
ions Of the tax laws Of Texas passed
at the last session Of the legislature,
and heavy penalties are provided for
the failure to pay taxes within the
time fixed by law. Many of the
smaller corporations have feiled to
comply with the law, and IL the penal
ties are strictly enforced they will be
forced into the hands OF receiver.
Several Of the railroad systems are
thus affected. Because Of the influence
they command the corporations are
often able to defy the law and. 10 viT-
tually set aside the will Of the people
as expressed through their Legislative
bodies, but the democratic spirit ia
Texas has always been Of O radical
nature, standing for equal and just
privileges for all before the Law.

Cotton has reached the II cent
mark, and # there is no general move
ment aplcng tho farmers to hurry the
remainder of their crop TO market, the
good prices prevailing will probably
be maintained. Precipitate haste to
sell invariably causes slumps and
fuctuations. II the Southern planters
can solve the problem Of properly
marketing their principal product,
they will give strength and firmness
to the market and keep prices at q
more Uniform level. The warehouse
system enables farmers to work in
unison for common end, and with
it's extension and enlargement will
doubtless come o better and more
satisfactory method Of selling and
marketing to the best advantage.

The bill was treated with derision
last winter, both by the daily press
and by gentlemen Of tue Louise of
Representatives, the Senate and
Third House. 1t was worth laugh,
people said. There was very little
corruption, they averred. The idea
that corporations employed legisla-

OF money for or against certain bills
was moonshine doled out by sensa-
tionalists to crafty the morbid fancy
and the appetite for scandal of a Pc

There are two questions involved
In any fair consideration Of these dis
closures. The first is the deslra bility
of corporations taking such an active
and influential part in political cam
paigns and the second Is the moral
ity of corporation officers making
contributions on their own initiative
out OF funds that are really trust
funds.
VI course law can be made pro-
hlbiting campaign contributions by
insurance companies or other corpo-
rations. This may correct the abuse
or it may not. Laws are not always
obeyed or enforced. There, for exam
Pile are the laws Of Moses. The world
has been violating them for thou
sands of years. It might be consid-
cred fair if the directors Of every in.
surance company, savings bank, trust
company or other corporation hand
ling the peoples money, would adopt
rule forbidding absolutely all such
contributions and holding every OH.
Ger financially and morally respon-
sible for its observance. Second, DO

could announce that they would
