On Cotton Tax

Washington, Sept. 2S-Representa-
tive Underwood, Saturday, introduced
in the House the Smith-Lever compro-
mise cotton futures tax provision SO
that it could be printed and read by
all members before the tariff confer
ence report comes up for consideration.
The provision is that which it is eX-
pected the House WILL next week, in
struct its conferees to adopt.
The compromise retains the tax OF
one-tenth of one cent per pound on
all purely speculative cotton trading.
The tax, however, would be reduced
to the nominal sum of so cents for
what Is known as contract" en-
bracing 100 bales of 500 pounds each,
in case the contract specifies certain
provisions that make 1t conform rigid
ly to the governments standard of
cotton grading.
The contract must also provide that
the cotton therein mentioned or dealt
with shall be within the grade limit
fixed by the secretary of agriculture
to wit: Within the limit middling
fair and good ordinary, inclusive. on
the presently existing government
standard, and no other grade or
grades" and the contract must fur
Their provide, that in settlement of
sucn contract by the actual delivery
or the cotton involved therein. where
cotton other than the basis grade is
delivered, the difference above or be-
low the contract price which the re-
ceiver shall pay for such grades shall
be determined nc beraipa 81 %, ,...%.,;loa
rms difference is to be determined,
the amendment provides, by the actu-
al commercial difference in value" of
the different grades of cotton estab-
ilshed by bona fide sales of spot cot
ton OF the same grades" made in ac-
tuai trade upon the sixth business day
pior 10 the settlement of the contract
IN the market where the future trans
action took place or is consummated.
If there is no spot cotton market at
that point the prevailing price is to be
estaplshed by securing the general av-
eIages IN five other spot cotton mar
| kets,9 and these markets are restrict
ed TO places that shall be designated
as bona fide markets by the secretary
| of agriculture.
Representative Underwood said that
when the tariff conference report was
taken up in the House, Monday or
Tuesday. he would offer the plan as an
amendment. Senator Simmons said he
did not expect the Senate to change
its attitude or to accept the compro-
mise, in which case the entire futures
tag probably would be dropped out.
