Old Man Joe.

AT the old Salem chautaqua in ILL.,
inois, Senator Joseph l.. Bristow, OF
Kansas, delivered denunciation of
Senator Aldrich, whom he charged
with the manipulation of the tariff
for the enrichment of himself, his
son and a number Of his friends.
Among the names Bristow link
ed with that of Aldrich were Senator
Guggenheim and Paul Morton, for
lner Secretary of the Navy. Bristow
attacked the entire 'standpat" ele-
mept in the Republican party, and
declared the people would demand 4
better explanation from Aldrich re-
garding his connection with the al
legged trust than that Of last Friday.
In his arrangements Of the organi-

ed that under the domination of
Cannon in the House and Aldrich
in the Senate the pledges made in
Republican platforms are fragrant
ly violated and duties fixed not to
contribute to the welfare Of the
American people, but to fill the
pockets of greedy, remorseless finan-

AN OBJECT LESSON
THAT EVERY COTTON FARMER
SHOULD HAVE SEEN.
The Difference Between the Packing
of Cotton in the United States and
Other Countries.

In a recent issue the Progressive
Farmer and Southern Farm Gazette
published two picture that should
have been seen by every cotton farm
Ell in the United States. One OF the
pictures showed the ragged and tat
tered condition of American cotton
as put on the markets of the world
and the other showed the neat con-
dition in which cotton from other
countries is put on the market.
Nearly all the bagging had come on
Of the American cotton while the
other cotton was completely covered
with bagging and presented a neat
nice appearance. On the other
hand the American cotton looked
Jagged, dirty and badly packed. They
were striking pictures.
In commenting on them the edi-
tor said these two photographs made
in Liverpool strikingly illustrate the
careless and disgraceful manner in
which our Southern cotton reaches
tie English market (the writer has
seen our ragged Southern bales haul
ed over Liverpool in just this pligkt)
IS compared with the thoroughly
beat and satisfactory packing OF cot
ten from other parts of the world,
rot only Egypt, but India and South
Africa as we'll The unsightly and
ragged condition of our cotton
causes the English manufacturer to
prefer Asiatic or African cotton II
he can get it.
Right now is the time for our
Southern farmers to decide that our
1910 cotton crop shall be better bal
ed than any other crop has ever
heen. King Cotton is no longer poor,
he's rich, and he deserves better
clothing than the ragged garments
of humiliation he wore in 1S93-4-o-
G. Moreover, it will pay. A buyer
Is always willing to give a higher
Price for any product on earth when
ii looks thoroughly neat and attrac-
tive. Consciously or unconsciously,
Intentionally or unintentially, the
cotton buyer will pay more for the
well-bound bale, and we fully be-
l;eve that the farmer will get from
$3.50 to S. for every 81 he spends
for better baling.
For one thing, then brother farm
ers, let's decide on better baling for
cur 1910 cotton. And then let's de-
eide to get this tare matter settled.
III will be remembered that this pa
Ger last fall carried on a vigorous
crusade for per cent. tare on cot
ten. This agitation was felt for good
III many sections, but from one or
two communities we have had COM
rlaints that buyers refused to buy
cotton with per cent. tare, and
these correspondents seem inclined
to blame us for the trouble.
These correspondents are answer
ed in this weeks Progressive Farm
e., and Gazette in which we point out
two things: First, the per cent.
tare is right, but if farmer is will
ing to be run over by buyers who
object to it, if he is not willing to
stand up for his rights, why, it is
not our fault; We cannot help it.
Second, whenever buyers assume
such an attitude, however, the farm
ers should organize through the
Farmers Union or otherwise for self
protection and enforce their rights.
And it is none to early to begin this
work if results are to be had this
season.

the year 1900 it was said that the
late then was lower than in any
country in the world yet today the
rate is just about two thirds of
what it was ten years ago.
The cause for this, Mr.. Miller
pointed out, are the interstate COM
merce commission, the various rail-
load commissions and competition,
and ofttimes the desire to build up
same industry.
AS to taxes in 1902 the South
ern was taxed s195, 900 in this State.
In 1909 the amount was 1882, 900,

Ter cent. in that time. Mr.. Miller
contended that if the 60 per cent.
basis were allowed to stand the
taxes for 1910 would be s375,000.
It takes IL per cent Of net earnings
to pay the taxes, and per cent. of
gross earnings.
Mr.. Miller said if present condi-
tons are not relieved receiversn1p
would be the goal of the railroads.
IF l could so cast my vote
would vote that the government take
over the railroads. 1t would be a
horrible state of affairs, for the gov

tens.

i.er rates were recently reduced. The
trouble is that the people are al
ways jumping ON the roads. They
imagine that they are hurting some
Northern capitalists when, as mat
ter Of fact, millions from the South
ern men are involved
Mr. Miller pointed out that the
rates should be figured always on
what will give fair return on the
money invested on the amount OF
business done. The tax man says
what is the value.
Mr.. Miller asked that SO per cent.
should be adopted ny the board,
making the Southern's assessment
about s13,500 per mile or 8 per cent
or earnings, which would make about
$1,000.
Continuing his argument, Mr. Mil
ler compared railroad assessments
with other class of property. 1T IS
perfectly ludicrious," he sald' 10
icok at Charleston county and see
the personal property assessments. .
He pointed out other inequalities.
Other officials who were in the
city for the meeting agreed with Mr.
Miller that the railroads are getting
the short end of the wage PROPOSE
ton and that the rates must be IN
creased or they will be in bad con-
d;tion. C. J. Joseph, tax agent OF the
Atlantic Coast Line, argued that the
railroads have been increased more
than any other class of property and
gave figures to substantiate The
statement. The railroads have been
increased 81 per cent; the real and
personal property ) 1-2 per cent. in
the last few years.
The Atlantic Coast Line asked
for an assessment of so per cent.
