Briuht Outlook for Crops.

Whatever the outturn of the cotton
crop may prove to be, every pound
of it will bring good price. The in
dications now are that the Alabama
crop will be abundant, as rains have
not fallen in this state, as rule, to
a damaging extent. In the Delta and
across the Big River the rainfalls have
been excessive, but In this state they
have been confined to happy medium.
In any event what our cotton crop
lacks in quantity will be made good in
price, and the entire south rests secure
in the fact that there will be no seven
cent cotton this year.
Using the July report of the de-
partment of agriculture as basis
statisticians in the New York produce
exchange estimate the haryests OF
other crops as follows:

AAMLIN REPORTS
Attorney General Of State Re
views Years Work and
Mases Suggestions.
ACTION AGAINST THE TRUSTS
Rcsents interference of Federal Courts
in Matter Affecting State
b" Revenues.

Attorney General Hamlin's annual
report and opinions appeared yester-
day. All the correspondence of the
Office relating to law matters is includ-
ed. He says in the beginning that the
Office has been burdened with Ques-
tons from townships, cities and coun-
ties. He has been compelled to give
opinions on ex parte cases, and these
opinions amount to nothing more than
the judgment of the attorney general
as lawyer. based on insufficient and
incomplete facts. He declares the of
flee is not established for this purpose
and asks for remedy for the evil. He
reiterates his enmity to the home CO.
operative and debenture companies.
He recommends the employment OF an
attorney or agent under the attorney
general to collect evidence against
foreign corporations doing business IL
legally in this state. At present such
agent is working under the secretary
of state
Critictses Supreme Court.
Under habeas corpus he con-
dennis the practice which the SUI
preme court recently stopped of one
judges releasing a prisoner who is al
ready before a court of concurrent
Jurisdiction. He asks for amendment
of the antitrust statutes of the state
which will more clearly define illegal
combines and trusts. He favors in
GLIDING insurance companies in the
prohibition against trusts and COM
bines doing business in Illinois. He
reviews the fight he has made on the
insurance trust and says the case is
now pending in the appellate court.
He says the reform by which board
and department attorneys were dis
pensed with two years ago and all the
legal business concentrated under the
attorney general has been satisfactory.
Hamlin raps the interference of the
federal courts in questions relating to
state revenue and taxation. Without
mentioning names he is understood to
take issue with Judge Grosscup in the
state teachers case against the utili-
ties of Chicago.
Reviews Mfssouri's Claim.
The claim of Missouri against
the state for pollution of ST.
Louis water by Chicago sewage
is reviewed The evidence. is now be-
fore the U. S. supreme court. He
points to the opinion of his office sus-
tanning the anti-convict labor law,
which decision has been validated by
the courts. The claims of the state
to the accretions to the lake front
have been settled during the last year.
He says the state has secured by COM
promise much valuable territory as 1t
could have secured after long and ex-
pensive litigation. He favors the en-
ployment of an inheritance tax attor
ney for the state outside OF Cook
county, this attorney to be under the
direction of the attorney general.
