ANTI-OPTlGN BILL is PASSED
Measure Affects Only Transactions
in Cotton.

Washington, D. 9Th Scott anti
option bill to restrict cotton exchange
transactions which do not involve act
ual delivery of the commodity was
passed by the house Friday, 100 to Al.
The bill is not expected to pass the
senate.
A filibuster against the bill was
instituted shortly after the general de-
bate began in the house. Many of the
New York and New Orleans members
against the bill, while Chicago mem
bers opposed it on account of the Chica
go markets.
Mr.. Scott, of Kansas, chairman of
the committee on agriculture, which
favorably reported the bill, explainc.
its purpose to restrict the cotton ex-
change transactions which deal only
with the fluctuations in the price Of
cotton and do not involve the actual
transfer of the commodity. The meas
ure is a drastic one, extending to an
inhibition against telegraph, telephone
or cable messages concerning such
transactions.

VALUE OF THE COTTON CROP
Annual Report of Census Bureau
Shows Interesting Data.

Washington.-The annual report OF
the census bureau on the cotton crop
of 1909, now being issued, reveals some
interesting and illuminating facts in
connection with the value Of the great
staple The estimated value of the
crop of 1909 is 100000, compared
with 1851, 100000 for 1908, s7O0,960 900
for 1907, $721, 100000 for 1906 and
$685., 300 900 for 1905. The value of the
crop of 1909 is $130,S6O,O00, or 1872 per
cent more than that of 1909, notwith-
standing the fact that the quantity is
1921 ,Sz4 bales, or 24.1 per cent. less.
1t is interesting to observe that the
value of cotton crop of last year IS
about one-half that of the corn crop of
the country in 1909, as estimated by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, nearly s100,000,000 more than
that of the wheat crop, and twice the
value of the oat crop.
The worlds production of gold in
1909 was the greatest ever recorded.
amounting in value to about 100000
600, but is slightly more than one-hah
of the value Of the American cotton
crop last year.

POSTAL BILL UPTO TAFT
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS OF THE
HOUSE VOTED DOWN.
Simmons Predicts That the Bill VIII
Be Even More Noxious Than Payne
Aldrich Tariff Law.

After voting down several amend
ments the senate decided by A to rs
to concur in the house amendments to
the postal savings bank bill and thus
took the last legislative step necessary
to the establishment of a postal saw
tngs bank system in the United States.
Most of the senate Republican 'in-
surgents" joined in with the regulars
in supporting the measure in the final
action on it, but Senators Bristow,
Cummins and La Toilette refused to
yield and cast their ballots in the neg
alive with the Democrats. Senator
Chamberlain cast the only Democratic
vote for the bill.
Mr.. Simmons denounced the bill as
az abject and humiliating surrender
to the banks" and predicted that be-
fore the end of the next campaign the
bill would be the most unpopular law
ever passed by the Republican party,
mot excepting the spurned, rejected
and trampled upon Payne-Aldrich tariff
law"
The bill as it goes to the president
provides for the designation of postof-
fees as postal savings depository off
ces. The opening of such repositories
is left to the discretion of a board of
three trustees, consisting Of the post
master-general, the secretary of the
treasury, and the attorney general.
This board is given complete control
of the repositories and of their funds.
AS it will require considerable time for
the board to prepare its regulations, it
is impossible at this time to predict
when the postal banking system will
be in operation.
In these repositories any person
over 10 years of age may make depos-
its of sums amounting to 81 or multi
pies of that amount. Pass books will
be issued to depositors and interest
allowed at the rate of per cent. per
annum. No person is to be permitted
to deposit more than 800 in any month
nor to be allowed to have exceeding
$500 to his credit at any one time. The
withdrawing Of funds is to be permit
ted at any time.

PERCY SOUNDS ALARM
MOST PROFLIGATE SESSION EVER
FOlSTED UPON PEOPLE.
Extension of Political Privilege and
Spells System by Government Enter
ing Banking Business.

Washington.-Sena Leroy Percy,
in a forceful and convincing speech in
the senate Tuesday, vigorously oppos-
ed the postal savings bank bill, merci-
lessly ridiculed the Republican party
for it's broken promises of retrench-
ment, arraigned the administration for
its extravaganza and sharply criticised
the postoffice department for the sus-
pension of work in installing the rural
routes, which had been inspected and
approved by the department.
Senator Percy said, in part, that
the postal savings bank bill as framed
by the Republican fills no need of the
people, but is fraught with danger to
them, involves an enormous and con-
stantly increasing expenditure. The
government, by it, invades the banking
business and the power of the govern
ment, especially the political power of
the postoffice department, is extended
He commented on the enormous in
crease in government expenditures
within the past ten years, as shown by
statistics of the various departments;
the army appropriation having increas-
ed from $4,000 to s100,O00,OO0; pen
sions from $145,000,0O0 to 100000 900;
appropriations for the navy from $45,-
100000 to $136,000,000, while during
the same time the appropriations for
the agricultural department had in
creased from s4,oO0,00O to $4,000, 900.
He remarked that if the present rate
of increase should be kept up in favor
of the agricultural department, that
within two or three years the people
might hope that this department would
have as much allotted to it as it now
costs to float one battleship of the
10000 ton class.

Practical jokes often are in very
bad taste and not at all as funny as
their perpetrators seem to think. Some
times such jokes invite legal punish.
ment Down in Panama a party of
would-be humorists circulated the
story that seismologists had predicted
that the country would be visited in
the night by great shock and that
Colon would be wiped out of existence
by tidal wave. Coming on the heels
of tn, Costa Rican cataclysm, this
prophecy threw the ignorant and SUI
perstitious into terror, and there was
something OF panic. OF course the
commissions did not occur. But the
Panama authorities took the matter in
hand and the jokers are now in Jail
awaiting the result of proceedings that
will be brought against them. And If
these humorists get round sentence
the general verdict will be that it
served them right.
