WANTS AFFAIRS PUT
ON BUSINESS BASIS.

Walter, Clark, president of the Miss
issppi division of the Southern Cotton
association, wants the association incor-
porated on a business basis in order that
it may look after and protect the cotton
interests. He said yesterday:
Il think that our entire form of govern
ment should be remodeled and reorgan-
lied. 1t is too expensive under the pres
ent system. 1t Is a business mems propo-
sition and business men should handle it
on a business basis. It is much easier to
reach the business men of the south and
get them together on the proposition than
to reach the farmers. The business men
of the south should see the necessity of
taking hold of this proposition and hand
ling it properly
We should be Incorporated as a bus
mess organization to look after and pro-
tect the interests of cotton. For one
thing l do not think that the New York
cotton exchange is legitimate organiza-
ton, nor do l think that the sale of flu
lures in cotton is legitimate. l think
that this exchange, and in fact all eX-
changes should be thoroughly investi-
gated, both from their economic and legal
sides. l do not believe in jeopardizing
any legitimate business enterprise, but
think that the cotton exchange should be
thoroughly investigated. The rules of the
New York cotton exchange are illegiti-
mate, arbitrary and a restraint to trade,
which is a violation of the law.
The federal government should pass
laws regulating the cotton exchange just
as they do the railroads. The cotton ex-
change is an interstate matter and is
therefore subject to the government con-
+roIs
