SOUTH GETS LITTLE PIE
THIRD or STATES WITH THIRD
or POPULATION SIGHTED.
Neither In Agricultural, Sundry Civil
or Rivers and Harbors Bill Has
South Gotten It's Portion.

Washington.-The South does not
appear to thrive on these billion dol
lar congresses.
Out Of the more than one billion dol
lars which will have been appropriated
by this congress before it adjourns,
less than $780, 00, 900 was voted to the
South. Less than one-fifth of the total
appropriations goes to fourteen great
states-one-third of the number of the
state of the union.
In the agricultural appropriation
bill may be found the different
amounts to be expended in the for
estry service. The West gets $4.414,-
400 and the South gets $4,000. The
general appropriation for the service
is $44S, 900. 900. And everybody knows
the forests and timber lands of the
South are Of enormous area.
The progress and development OF
the South demands good roads more
than any section of the country, and
it is to be hoped that should federal
aid ever be extended conditions will
not be such that the Northeasterners
and the Northwesterners will be per-
mitted to gobble the whole pile. Out
Of the billion dollars, the measly sum
of $114,240 was appropriated by this
congress for good roads. Just a little
sum to maintain a fair-sized good
roads bureau in Washington.
Under the miscellaneous provisions
of the sundry civil bill, the South re-
ceives $2,302, 000. The total miscella-
neous provisions is for $96,191,100. A
very large proportion of the agricult-
ural appropriation is general. The
South receives s297,0 00. In the Indian
appropriation bill, of course, the West
gets the candy end of the stick. The
general appropriation is $3,4S5, 900;
Northeasterners get $4,000 and the
Westerners get $5,113,O 900. The South
grabbed off $4,000. The provisions
for the fisheries comes under the sun
dry civil bill. The general appropria-
ton is $947,0 00. Besides this amount,
Northeast gets $94, 200, the West $780,
900 and the South trails with $500
to its credit.
The sundry civil bill also contains
appropriations for the construction of
works on harbors and rivers already
under contract. The Northeastern
states get s3,4S6,000 and the Western
states are allowed $3,409, 900. The
South gets only $685., 900. The big
rivers and harbors bill carries over
eighty-five million dollars. and the
South gets $11,34S, 900. The Northeast,
however, is appropriated $13,712.5 500
and the West s11, 1889, O00, and 1885,
900 goes to the Panama canal.

POSTAL BILL UPT0 TAFT
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS OF THE
HOUSE VOTED DOWN.
Simmons Predicts That the Bill viii
Be Even More Noxious Than Payne
AIdrich Tariff Law.

After voting down several amend
ments the senate decided by "A to 20
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
ings bank system in the United States.
Most of the senate Republican "in-
s~urgents" 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
"an 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 it's 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 G may make depos-
it's 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 2 per cent. per
annum. No person is to be permitted
to deposit more than 500 in any month
mol to be allowed to have exceeding
$500 to his credit at any n time. The
Withdrawing of funds is to be permit
ted at any time.

ANH-OPHGN 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-
it's 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.


Shows Interesting Data.
Notwithstanding 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 1912, 090, 900, compared
with 1851, 100000 for 1908, 500, 960, 900
for 1907, $721,650, 900 for 1906 and
1892, 800, 900 for 1905. The value of the
crop of 1909 is s13O,S60,0O0, or 1872 per
cent. more than that of 1909, notwith-
standing the fact that the quantity is
3,271,924 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 $780, 00, 900 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-half
of the value Of the American cotton
crop last year.

PECKHAM AND HAAS FINED
Haas Gets a $4,000 and Peckham a
$1,000 Penalty.

Washington, D. Con the recon-
mendation of the department of JUS
tice, Justice Gould imposed a fine of
$4,000 on Moses Haas and $4,000 on
Frederick Peckham, which they paid
and were released from custody. They
pleaded guilty to indictments charging
them with trying to influence a gov
eminent official.
While the cotton leak was unearthed
in 1905, it was not until 1908 that con-
gress passed a statute making it a
crime for a government official to fur
nish information in possession of his
office to outsiders when it was to be
used for such purposes as in these
cases.

WORK OF CONGRESS
TAFT GETS MORE LEGISLATION
THROUGH THAN ANY
PRESIDENT.
Laws Were Enacted Notwithstanding
Continuous Fights Between
"insurgents'' and "Regulars."

Washington, d. Notwithstanding
the fact that action on many lmpor-
tant measures were delayed by con-
ficts between "~insurgent" and 'regu-
lar" Republican factions in both
branches. and that the Democratic NIL
nority was an active force, congress
is expected to conclude its long ses-
sion with a record for enactinS legis-
lation that seldom, if ever has been
eQualled.
In the matter of reform move
ments for which President Taft stood
sponsor there were many instances OF
success. Chief in the list of legisla-
ton for which the administration n
tended were the following:
Striking revision of the railroad
laws, including the creation of a COM
merce court.
Admitting Arizona and New Mexico
as separate states.
Authorizing the establishment OF
postal savings banks.
Giving to the president unlimited au-

In the dark. A worthy baillie denied
this and offered to bet that, blindfold-
ed, he could name any drink given
him. The bet being accepted and the
baillie blindfolded, the test COM

submitted, smacking his lips and cor

was in despair. Then "try him WI
