and mission worker, will not be able
to come to Spokane this week, as

received from Mr.. Trotter saying

place of Mr.. Trotter. There is a de-
sire to have a noted mission worker

CHICAGO. ILL.,. o {. 1S.-The fact
that the Illinois legislature has die

which should not exist. but certainly
Is indicated. 1t Is the unfortunate
fact that humane treatment of AMI

joyed by large attendance. Tonight

columns OF the Press the Lyric
wishes to extend apologies to the
ladies for not having enough souve-

BIames LegisIdti0nfOr Low
Priced Cotton.
Revision Of Laws Necessary

New Orleans, La, Jan. 19.-Tht
Tlmes-Delnocrat this morning says
Mr.. E. A. Calvin, of Texas, one OF
the most influential members oi
the Farmers Union, through ex-
perieuce and study has discovered
tue difference between anli-bucket
shop laws aud anti-future trading
laws, aud is now advocating re-
vision of Southern laws affecting
the cotton market With even great
err vigor than that with which he
successfully urged the enactment
OF the May field anti-fnture law by
the. Texas legislature two years
ago. There is very good reason
why opinion molders i'll the south
should profit by Mr.. Cslvin's dis
covery and 10 reason at all why
they should stumble on in blind
advocacy of laws that hurt the very
people they were devised to aid
when really helpful laws might be
enacted in their stead"
Mr. Calvin is ex-president Of the
Texas branch of the farmers un-
and as general manager of the 800
farmers union cotton warehouses
in that State has enjoyed excep-
tlonal opportunities for learning
the relation of the future and spot
markets, the effect of future sales
on the price of and demand for
spots, and the sort of laws that are
harmful and the sort that are help
full.
la strong letter just published
Mr.. CALVIN in part says: 1T re-
quires the courage of positive con-
viction for anyone to admit having
been honestly mistaken. The
south had bucket shop sore Oh
its speculative hand, and instead of
curing it with the proper medicine
they cut off the hand.
1.-The Texas anti-fufure law be-
came effective July IL, 1907, and
Oh that date July New Orleans
cotton closed at 1885, and then
steadily declined until April 2S,
1908, when it sold for SAT, or a
of a cents per pound, or
$3.50 per bale.
This enormous decline can be
attributed to any cause desired,
but tue fact remains that it occur
red from the start to the finish of
the greatest holding movement of
cotton by farmers, merchants and
their friends that ever was or prob
ably ever will be known"
Mr.. Calvin then gives statistics
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1909-01-23

showing that spinners during the
year consumed $4,000 bales more
than farmers produced, by utiliz-
ing their reserve stock; that by
taking advantage of the south's an
ii-future laws they beat the price
If cotton down to the lowest level,
and that after farmers had become
discouraged and sold out, the spin
ners who then owned about all the
cotton promptly put the price up
from 8 AZ on April %, 1908, to ll.47
on May rs. 1908, or $500 bale.
He adds: The bucket shops were
the primary cause for infaming
pnhlic sentiment and the fight
against bucket shops should be con-
lInued, but legitimate speculation
is necessity.
The majority Of people do not
the reason for or the
details of speculation, consequent
ly we're unable to distinguish the
vital difference between. bucket
shop (where bets on the fiuctua-
lions IN cotton quotations are made}
aud a legitimate brokerage office
where contracts calling for the
bona fde delivery of actual cotton |
are bought ard sold) SO they OBJ
both as far as in their
power, and the result is now ap-
parent to every body. ~ !
"Since the Texas anti-future law
became effective, farmers have sold
approximately 100000 bales of
cotton at a virtually proven price
rom 2 to 3 cents per pound below
is intrinsic value, and the loss to
'armers on this cotton has been
rom S200,000,0OO to $500, 900, 900.
