Cotton Future Tax.

Senator Sherman also criticised vigor-
ously the provision in the bill which aims
to place tax upon dealing in cotton
futures. He said:
Cotton gambling is licensed at 30 cents
a bale. with no distinction between an
intention to deliver or not deliver actual
cotton in the future. 1t is admitted this
Will load the legitimate sales Of cotton
with many millions of dollars. Who pays
this? Either the cotton grower or the
final consumer of cotton goods 1t IS
simply another toll station built on the
road between the man who produces
and the man who uses.
These accommodating charges on domes-
tic productions are already intolera BILE.
They are now one of the responsible
causes of the high prices complained of.
Is it not better to take those burdens off
our domestic commerce rather than to
put others on?
Il am opposed to this section entirely.
IL sales of cotton are in good faith for
actual future delivery they are lawful
alike under the laws of the states where
the exchanges are and in the interstate
commerce of the country as well.
'Gambling in futures is criminal, its
transactions are civilly void and the
state courts are closed to those who
invoke their remedies. Declare such gam
bling operated between citizens of diff
ferent states Il misdemeanor by an act
of Congress. Do not license it. The gov
eminent thereby becomes a partner in
an offense against morals and the rules
of legitimate trade.
Compound With Gambling"
IF these tariff schedules for revenue
only SO exhaust the Treasury that We
must compound with gambling to replen-
ish it, it is better to raise the rate than
to divide the gamblers spoils.
Senator Sherman predicted that the
democratic party would run the country
into debt with it's reductions of the du-
ties and it's large expenditures of the
government funds. He showed that the
increase in the annual expenses this year
had been about SSO,OOO,6U. He said:
THE only relief in sight from this
$50. 600, 600 increase In one year is the
platform promise of our democratic
brethren adopted at Baltimore July ;,
1912 1t demands a return to that SIM
plicity and economy which BELTS demo-
cratic government AS this promise was
made over eight months before the $50,
600 900 increase was made it does not in
spire that degree of confidence that ought

Ten companies Of coast artillery from
Fort Dupont. Del. and other places
took part in the firing at Fort Mon
roe. The firing began at 10 o'clock last
night. While the torpedo boats did not
take any part in the practice, the big
searchlights at these forts picked up
the tiny fighters several times. and their
presence made a realistic background
for the scene. Mortar batteries were
used by the gunners at the fort.
Instead of firing at the targets on a
straight line, the shells were sent sky

the object Of their aim five miles away:
This practice will be continued until
Friday night, when the Atlantic fleet
