fixed hy the final ginner's report
issued Saturday. places the crop
at Is, 40s, 461 Of 505.S pounds.
The crop for 1907 was 1880, 461
bales of 300 pounds. The large
figure had a tendency to depress
the market, the argument being
made that the crop. instead
of falling short of ths demand, had
created q surplus of supply The
cotton grower, who cares to. can
arrive at a conclusion as to why
cotton sold N lower figures last fall
than the year before by noting the
difference i'm the size Of the two
crops and applying the law Of sup
ply and demand.

The "KnOcker" and the Man
with the WhitewaSh Brush.

The knocker', and the man
with the whitewash brush are two
kinds of citizens a town can well
dispense with. No place has any
of either type, self confessed or
openly accused-Yet every town
has both; the one knocking
everything good or bad, the other
smearing whitewash over iniquity
and posing az the champion Of
social. moral and commercial pro-
gresS. The fact is. the man with
the whitewash brush" is the dan
gerous one that covers by silence,
equivooation, or evasion, evils
known to exist, and which like a
worm i the bud, " eat out the heart
of development.
The man with the whitewash
brush" is a hypocrite, dissembIer,
q. selfrighteons fellow. the knock
err is just a sore head" and may
be honest-Of the two the knock
err is the less harmful, and far
preferable to the man with a brush
in one hand and a pot of white
wash in the other.

Experts who have made careful
study of the habits, movement and
propagation of the boil weevil,
seem convinced that few more
years will find them depredating
the cotton fields in every state
where the staple is grown. In
view of the probability, it would be
wise for our farmers to prepare to
fortify against the invasion. 1t is
not meant that plans be made to
destroy the pest, for that is being
attempted by scientific men
equipped for the business, and
thus far, without success. The
suggestion is that we learn to grow
other crops proftably. SO that
when the boil weevil does come, we
may discontinue growing cotton
and starve the rascals to death. :"

PROTEST AGAINST

Business Men Believe Act
Unconstitutional and May
Test il

No more important subject Is en-

ations at present than the returns
which will soon have 20 he made TO
the Government under the Corporation
Tax law.
This Is a subject which vitally af-
fects every corporation. and that the
constitutionality of the law will be
tested seems to be a settled fact
A syllabus Of the act has been pre-
pared under the direction Of those sub
iect 20 its provisions. In this II is
advised that those making returns
under it should do SO under proper
legal protest, on the ground that the
form Of return is not the form re-
quired by the law and that the law
itself is unconstitutional
Tt is pointed out that in regulations
No. 81 the Treasury Department says
IN effect that the next income on which
the return is TO be made shall be ar
rived at on the basis Of gross revenue
or profit derived from the operation of
the business; on gains realized on fixed
assets; on expenses incurred; on in
tcrest, taxes and depreciation accrued,
and on losses sustained.
AS to manufacturing and mercantile
companies. the regulations provide that
one of the component items Of ex-
penses incurred shall be the cost of
goods sold. arrived at on the basis Of
purchases. production, and inventories.
Compliance with these regulations viii

best means whereby 10 arrive at a fai-
approximation Of the cost value OF ma
terials. supplies and goods on hand at
that date.
In discussing this subject a banking
authority which has had wide dealings
with manufacturing and corporate con-
Germs says:
while the regulations provide for the
proper methods 70 ascertain tho net in
come. yet such methods do not appear
10 be sanctioned by the language Of
the law. Among the deductions auth
orized TO be made from gross income
tho law says all ordinary and neccs-
sary expenses actually paid within the
year out of income or earnings OBJ
vlously. expenses incurred are not the
same as expenses paid"
II is for this reason that 20 those
making returns the suggestion is
thrown ont that they do so under pro-
test. This will give them protection
I'm case the law is tested i'm the
Supreme Court and that body does
not sustain it.
