mainder is under-tared. It Is <his use
OF unnecessary tare. says tho report,
that fnjects uncertainty and possible
fraud into the cotton business
This uncertainty" adds tho report,
strikes at 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 II thus
gives an advantage to a skilled class
OF specialists who best understand the
complicated details of the business
with a corresponding disadvantage to
the less expert II is not sufficient to
say that the competition emong 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
so, 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
cretically so, but it is actually so. Buy
ers of cotton, both. in this country and
abroad, are constantly finding them
selves involved in transactions where
shippers have taken advantage OF
these opportunities to defraud."
Standardization Remedy.
The ideal remedy for all these evils,
Mr.. Conant concludes, is the standard
ization OF tare to be put on a bale Of
cotton by making It definite or read
fly ascertainable amount, SO that the
net weight may be determined with
out controversy or test. The present
careless and irregular methods of COW
ering cotton, II the evils are allowed to
go uncorrected, he declares, seem like
ly to invite legislation.
Pending the adoption Of thorough
remedy, the commissioner believes
substantial benefits will accrue by
modifying the six per cent contract so
IS to provide for a 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 a great saving, the
report says II the cotton could be COM
pressed at the gin. Under the present
practice, the staple is pressed at the gin
and later compressed to greater densl-
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 1t would require a capital outlay
OF at least 500. 100000 to equip gins
with congresses. Nevertheless, he be-
lieves this Is an ultimate ideal condi-
ton to which the cotton trade must
look forward.

Exporter Faces Problem.

The American exporter, under these
circumstances. according to the report.
faces a serious problem to avoid con-
Quoting business at a loss. Some cot
ton merchants, Mr.. Conant saws argue
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 nv
the rules roughly 261-2 pounds. He
does this by patching Is, placing
strip bagging on the bale. A small part
OF such patching is usually necessary
10 cover sample holes However since
the exporter in making out his invoice
mlst deduct six per cent, he frequently
goes further and adds tare up to at
least six per cent of the total weight Of
the bales; sometimes he adds even
more.
obviously. II 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
5ectionable. L results in changing the
gross weight Of the bale and thus in

cotton to be paid for and as to price"

waukon Ought to Follow Suit.

DEBORAH city dads are the kind of
folks taxpayers can have some re-
lance on. When the mulct tax of
several thousand dollars was denied
them they commenced to back up on
city expenses, like any good property
managers or executors would do.
They have ordered the entire city
lighting expense on a moonlight
schedule. That is, that electric lights
shall not burn when the moonlight
renders artificial light unnecessary.
Upwards of twenty street lights were
ordered discontinued also.
Waukon folks have heard by voice
and otherwise what /. e. Beeman
would do If he ever became mayor,
Nothing of any Importance has been
credited to his administration thus
far. 1t would seem as though he
ought to get busy and direct the cut
ting down OF Waukon's increasing
Indebtedness. There are eight or
ten ways of doing it and If he hasn't
tumbled to the fact there are num-

SMOOTH GRAFT UNCOVERED.
Swindlers Send Worthless Stock Ger
tificates to Dead Men Hoping
Relatives Bite.

Creston, Jan. S.-A request came
to Postmaster Skinner of this city
yesterday from Kansas City authori-
ties asking that investigation be
made at the express offices here to
see if any &C. o. D." packages had
been received for the late Jasper
Young of that city, but who had been
buried here. Inquiry revealed that
such package was being held with
charges amounting to $20.50, and
also that package was held for
John Bannick, also dead, the charges
being $3.50.
The schemers had been watching
the papers for obituary notices, it
is said, and then sending in the
name of the dead people a package,
hoping that relatives would claim it
and pay the charges, which the pro-
moters of the scheme would pocket
and the relatives receive nothing but
lot of worthless stock certificates.
Two men are under arrest in Kansas
City who are believed to be the prin-
cipals in this graft.
