HANDLE COTTON IN ARKANSAS
Suggested That Oklahoma Plan of
Assessing Members TO Relieve
Distressed Be Adopted.

] recently noticed a plan Endorsed
and adopted in Oklahoma for the pur-
pose of handling the distressed cot.
ton. This plan | believe was not gen
eral, but only applied to several dis
tricts writes John Powers. Sr.. ex-
State President of the Arkansas Farm
ers Union, in Co-Operator Now. as
well as | remember. they were to
assess each member in this district
something like SIS for the purpose
of financing the distressed and other
union cotton. This amount was to be
paid in four installments.
Now, has it ever occurred to you
members of the Farmers union in
this state of Arkansas that we need
the same kind of policy in this state +?
Have you stopped to figure what you
are losing in the way the most of
us are marketing our cotton? We
lose on an average of at least 81 per
bale
Now, we have in our state a Farm
ers union enterprise that is operated
Tor the benefit of the union members.
This company is owned and controlled
by the state union. Now, why can't
we adopt method along the lines of
our neighbors in Oklahoma? Say we
assess each member in the state 81
to be paid at once if possible and if
not in four installments of % cents
each. Taking for granted that we
have between $4,000 and $4,000 mem.
bers in the state. that would make a
total of this fund amount to say $780,
600. Now. you will ask what we will
do with that money? say turn it
over to the cotton company which we
have and il will enable them to buy
distressed cotton and to also com.
pete with other cotton firms in that
business. You will be winner even if
you gave them the dollar and only let
them handle one bale of cotton for
you. You lost more on every bale you
sell in the streets than | am asking
you to give to this company.
Another thing is that this company
can then compete with the buyers in
your own town. and help you out in
that way also.
The trouble, brothers, with we union
people is that we are too cheap. When
they ask us for a few cents or even
dollars we at once go straight up,
and don't come down until we have
accused some one of robbing us We
can't expect to win our fights against
other well organized concerns without
money. 1t takes money to start and
run any kind of an enterprise. Now
we ought to get together and make
this one concern of ours winner They
deserve the union business of the state
and have proven to us that they can
save us money in handling our cot
ton, as well as get good prices for
same. Now so many of us have
blamed them for what has been done
before they organized last year. Now
are they responsible for what other
people have done to you? No. They
should have trial before being con-
demned. Now take this up at your
next meeting and talk 1t over with
the members. | believe that they will
indorse plan OF this kind for they
are bound to see that Il will benefit
them. After talking the matter up
will be glad to have you. as many as
will, TO reply through this paper or
by letter to the writer and give him
your ideas about 1t. Even If you are
against it, coMe Oh and talk it out.
