What Controls the Cotton Market 7

We need not go far among the
records to prove to any fair-minded
man that mems influence wave the
price as much as supply and demand.
Well, then, if one set of men, like
Wall Street, can ntrol prices, why
ls it that the men who produce the
cotton and know cotton cannot con-
troll prices even better than Wall
Street, who is not close to the foun-
tain, in the cotton fields, where all
knowledge as to actual conditions of
cotton must necessarily spring from {?
Some say, ooh, well, Wall Street
has the money and they are organ
lied, too" Well, when it comes
down to solid facts the farmers of
this country have four times as much
money invested in his business as all
the manufacturing interests of the
country, and over four tifths of the
whole business of our country is
based upon the farming interest. A
combination of even one-half or
much less of the wealth of the cotton
farmers of the South would snow
Wall Street under so deep that she
could never put her head up high
enough again to say cotton. All the
South needs is organization She
has as good collateral and as much as
is needed to control her business.

The Boil weevil Is Moving East.

Washington. March 9.-Figures have
been laid before the house committee on
agriculture by which it is estimated that
100000 bales of cotton have been de-
stroyed to date by the bell weevil, sum
equal to SlO0, ,OOO,OOO and that the pest is
going eastward at the rate of fifty miles
per year.
Last year Ss5, 600 was appropriated to
the Bureau of Entomology aud SlO5, 900
to the Bureau Of Plant Industry. An
effort has been made recently in the
committee on agriculture to cut down
the Fl rst item by $40, 900, but Representa-.
tives Bowie, of Alabama, and Lever, of
South Carolina, have secured the consent
of the committee for it to remain without
change for the next year.
Mr.. Lever has also secured addition TO
the fund to bo used in the growing of
medicinal hcrbs. The government has a
small farm of this nature in Florence
county, and the people of that section
have been hopeful that enough money
would be secured to extend its opera
tions.
Secretary Wilson asked for So 100 addi-
tional for this purpose, and there were
some members of the committee opposed
to making the addition. Mr.. Lever,
however, succeeded in securing $4,000
more for the work, aud a part of this he
hopes to have used on the Florence farm.
He is interested at this time in the
question of securing an appropriation
sufficiently large to warrant the govern
ment in making experiments in drainage
and showing the farmers of the South
how to use their lands to the best ad-
vantage where they are scarce of water.
He believes that the Southern States are
as much deserving of help along this line
as any other part of the country. 49,

Growing Fertilizers in the Soil.

store away in the soil upon its roots
as much nitrogen to each acre as
there is contained in from two to
three thousand pounds of cotton

Way to Assess Mines

There is only way to tax the mines in any country, whether they be taxed high or low and that Is on a basis of their output. The next legislature should enact some law that will insure the equal tax ation of all mining property in the territory. This can be done only on the basis of bullion tax. The people of the territory will await the message of Governor Kibbry with some interest to see what he has to say concerning the taxation of mines. He, no doubt. has given the subject much thought. The territory should have an equal bull lion tax law so that all mining property having any value should pay according to their production, and to the end that a nine that has no value should not be required to pay any tax -l3isbee Review

STOPS SOME STREET OPENINGS.
Decision Against N. Y. Electric Lines
Company Afirmed.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court has affirmed unanimously the decision
in Special Term refusing to grant TO the
New York Electric Lines Company a man
damus directing the Commissioner Of Water
Supply, Gas and Electricity to issuea permit
to the company authorizing it to open up
the city streets and lay new conduits and
ducts for electric wires for telephone, tele-
graph and other purposes.
In the courts opinion, written by Justice
Ingraham and made public yesterday, the
court reviews the history Of the company,
which got a franchise many years ago, and
to which was also granted special privileges
in 1889 by the Common Council OF the city
authorizing il to lay conduits and wires.
But nothing was ever done under that au-
thority, and the city officials considered it
to have lapsed from n~on-usage. In De
cember, 1905, the company made a demand
for permits to open the streets, which were
refused, and then the mandamus proceedings
were begun
The court says that the failure of the COM
pany to nave its plans approved by the
Board of Electrical Control, or the success
sors of that board, would necessarily de
prive it of any rights under the original
privileges granted to it, which were o n
tingent on such approval. But further
more, the company's rights have lapsed
under an act of the Legislature passed in
1885, which made il necessary for any COM
pany proposing to lay conduits and cleo
trio wires to obtain the official approval of
its plans within sixty days OF the passage
of the act.
