AMENDMENT WOULD

tContinucd from Page One,


cotton in settlement of his future con-
tract, but is able to supply his needs In
the spot market, he can settle his "fu-
ture' contract In cash. at fair market
price, rather than at prices fixed by the
exchange rules
The whole object of the amendment,
which is supported by the democratic
leaders in both the House and Senate, is
to make the cotton exchanges legiti-
mate cotton market where commercial
cotton is actually bought and sold. 1t is
understood that efforts will be made to
get the administration to lend It's infiu-
ence to the adoption of this plan.
Cotton Men Protest
Representatives of the cotton exchanges
have presented objections to such plan
and have asked that a small tax ae
approximately the same as that
imposed as a revenue raiser during he
Spanish War-and government coInns-
sion be created to study the taxation of

The cotton men who object to the COM
promise declare that the taxing of c IT..

ated standard types, will cover only Ger
tain grades of white cotton, and will
exclude not only certain lower grades
of white cotton, but also so-called tingeG
and stained cotton, which normally con-
stitutes about 20 per cent of the crop.
and which they claim in years of storm,
is a much greater proportion.
The effect of the compromise, they say
would be to lift a tax described by them
as destructive" and 'prohibitive' from
