Sauce For the Goose is
Sauce For the Gander.

The department of agriculture has
been for years a higRly benevolent in
stitution toward the manufacturers of
cotton goods, issuing bulletins which
are designed TO show in the earlier
months of the season what number
Of bales of the great southern staple
viii be grown and later on, how many
bales have been produced, ginned and
put on the market. 1t is true that the
earlier and later estimates have fire.
quently shown wide divergence in
figures, so much so that certain doubt
ers have insinuated that padding has
been resorted 10 in order that crook
ed spectators might reap the bene-
fit of crooked performances
Indeed, there seems to have been
much Justification for this belief, as
was evidenced by the scandal in Sec
rotary Wilson's department about a
year ago-a scandal which developed
TIE fact that one or two New York
gamblers had been aided and aBetted
by department clerks through the pre-
mature delivery of cotton statistics.
But, OF course, this feeling of distrust
is an old, old story and its possible
justihcat+Sm has only an indirect
bearing on the matter in hand.
This concerns the justice of a bill
introduced in congress by Representa-
tive Hefin, OF Alabama The bill pro-
vides that the department of agri-
culture must collect and publish sta
tistics covering the manufacture of
cotton goods every sixty days. The
statistics will show the number OF
bales of cotton purchased, the guam
dty of goods manufactured and the
total of raw material unconsumed.
Mr.. Hefin thinks that if the manu-
facturers are periodically furnished
information about the business OF
producers it is but fair that the pro
ducers, who also have a living to
make and hands to pay, should be en-
Iightened with regard to that of tae
manufacturers.
VIII anyone have the hardihood to
deny that such a law would be euuit-
able? Is it not, in fact, demanded by
existing conditions? WHAT is sauce
fo- the goose is sauce for the gander.' -
The saying is an ancient one, but IN
Ike many of the old proverbs its
truth has withstood the test of time.
It states bit of moral philosophy
as veracious and pertinent today as it
vas when tae original baking of the
two fat AIichaelmas birds took place

anu onions was the proper thing to

This Hefiin bill most surely ought
TO pass. 1t is to be hoped that those
members of congress who have been
