BY SENATOR JOSEPH NJ. DIXON,
Chairman Of the Progressive National
Committee


NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-The Progressive
party is determined to have a visible and
not an invisible government in tGis coun-
try. II is determined that the man who
pays the taxes shall get value received
for his taxes, 1t is determined that pub
lie men shall work for the voters who
put them in office. and not for interests
whose object is to raise the already tire
mendous cost Of living that they may
personally profit.
The Progressive party believes in the
suffrage for women because 1t believes
that women are just as intelligent. Just
as honest and just as interested in the
WeIfare of the nation as men are.
\ mother who has a son who must
make his living as an American citizen
can be trusted to vote to surround him
with the right conditions, and to give
him honest opportunity A woman who
is supporting herself can be trusted to
vote to make conditions of labor better.
1t is unthinkable that any woman would
vote for man who defended child la
Dor, or who sought to give any employer
the right to work his employees, men or
women, twelve or fifteen hours day
Better Labor Laws Urged
Better labor laws are insisted on by the
Progressive party. We do not attack
property, but we hold that human life is
more precious than property. And while
we intend to do no man an injustice, we
do not propose to permit any man to do
other men injustice
Go into any city Stun and you will
see the need for a government that takes
an interest in the welfare of the people
What this country needs is intelligent
effort to conserve human life; to- place a
decent living within the reach Of every
man or every woman who works: to pro-
tect the aged and the weak; to guarantee
to every human being the right to hap
pness
We know that the laws now on the
statute books are not all suited to pres
ent conditions. Some of them have been

Last night Mr. Tucker was not at

Saturday morning by the arrival Of a
party in an automobile.

OF unnecessary tare, SAYS the report
that injects uncertainty and possible
fraud into the cotton business
This uncertainty" adds the report
strikes al the basic factor of every
transaction, namely. the amount of the
commodity actually sold It in effect
establishes a false standard Of weights
with the Invariably unfortunate con-
sequences of such a condition. 1t thus
gives an advantage to a skilled ella IS
Of specialists who best understand the
complicated details of the business
with a corresponding disadvantage to
the less expert. 1t is not sufficient to
say that the competition among these
skilled classes often forces them to
turn over the benefit of this false
measure to the producer. 1t is not
seriously contended that this is always
50. and there is thus ever present the
| open door to fraud. There is always
the invitation to cotton merchants to
adopt improper practices. and there
is thus enticed into the trade a class
of men who bring discredit upon hon
! est merchants. This is not only the
oreticaly so. but it is actually so. Buy
ers Of cotton, both in this country and
broad. are constantly finding them
selves involved in transa ctions where
shippers have taken advantage of
these opportunities to defraud."

Exporter Faces Problem.

The American exporter under these
circumstances, according to the report.
races serious problem to avoid con-
Quoting business al loss. Some cot -
ton merchants, Mr.. Conant-savs areue
that these facts are thoroughly under
stood by the trade and are adjusted
in the price which the exporter asks
for his cotton. The commissioner does
not entirely agree with this view. and
says that the practical result of the
rules has been that the exporter adds
unnecessary tare to his cotton.
THE exporter" he says. naturally
adds tare up TO the amount allowed by
the rules roughly 261-2 pounds. He
does this by patching that is. placing
strip bagging on the bale. A small pa art
of such patching is usually necessary
to cover sample holes. However. since
the exporter in making out his invoice.
must deduct six per cent, he frequently
goes further and adds tare IN TO at
least six per cent Of the total weight of
the bales, sometimes he adds even
more
obviously. If the exporter makes A
complete adjustment in the price. and
also adjusts by adding tare he makes
a profit of such added tare. If, how
ever complete adjustment is not made
in the price. this addition Of tare be-
comes simply a means Of protection
against loss, although in the trade it
is usually spoken OF as a profit on
patching.
Granting that the price of cotton
is in no way affected by the six per
cent rule, it is nevertheless highly OBJ
jectionable. 1t results in changing the
gross weight Of the bale and thus in
PRODUCES an avoidable element Of
chance, both as to the actual weight Of
cotton to he paid for and as to price"

Standa rdizAtion Remedy.

The ideal remedy for all these evils,
Mr. Conant concludes, is the standard =
liza ton of tare to be put on a bale of
cotton by making 1t definite or read
fly asCertainabe amount, so that the
net weight may be determined with
out controversy or test. The present
careless and irregular methods OF COW
ering cotton, If the evils are allowed to
go uncorrected. he declares, seem like
ly to invite legislation.
Pending the adoption of a thorough
remedy, the commits sioner believes
substantial benefits viii accrue by
modifying the six per cent contract so
as to provide for deduction Of five per
cent or some other percentage more &C
curately representing the amount Of
covering actually necessary to protect
the cotton. The requirements Of the
contract, he says should certainly be
identical with the allowance established
by the rules under an actual test.
There would be great saving, the
report says, II the cotton could be COM
pressed a the gin. Under the present
practice. the staple is pressed at the gin
and later compressed to greater dens-
ty at numerous establishments scat
tered over the cotton belt. Compress
ing at the gin. he says would encoun-
ter opposition from the owners OF COM
presses because it would destroy their
business. Furthermore, he adds, it
would be impractical at this time be-
cause it would require capital outlay
Of at least 800. 100000 to equip gins
with congresses Nevertheless, he be
lieves, this is an ultimate ideal condi-
tion to which the cotton trade must
look forward
