MEN ENTER PROTEST.
Object To Proposed War Tax OH Rail-
road Freight.

Washington, Sept. II Protests of
the most energetic sort are being
filed with Senators and Congrcssmcn
from the lumber States against
the proposed tax of 3 per cent on rail
road freight. The lumber people claim
that the tax will hit them particularly
part OF the value of their product ut
it's destination, and also because the
demand for lumber has been SO scri-
ously curtailcd by the war.
The North Carolina Pine Lumber
Association, including the leading
manufacturers Of the Carolinas and
Virginia, has sent strong tclc%rams to
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee of the house
and TO many senators and representa-
tivcs, declaring tina: their busincs is
in no condition to stand an added
freight charge. and that if the tax -
adopted a number Of lumber mills H.
the South will close and thousands Of
men will be ont of employment Tho
suggestion is made that if this in
crease i'm freight rates goes into cf-
feet it will never come off, but will!
constitute q permanent addition to the
shippers burden.
There will certainly be hot fight
over the war tax prOGrammr, but if
the president continues To back ii mp
it will br hard to defeat

RESTS WITH STATES.
Federal Government Can Not Go
Further than Extending Credit on
Warehouse HccCiptS-NatiOnaI VAL
OriZltiOn Not Practicable

Washington, Sept. 11.-After long
that the federal government can take
no further steps to aid cotton pro-
duccrs to meet the unusual conditions
caused by the European war The
treasury department has announced
its determination to accept warehouse
receipts as Il basis for additional ma
uon&l currency, but the friends of a
plan for the valCrization of the cotton
crop have not succeeded in convincing
government officials of its desirability.
Officials who have studied the situa-
ton feel that any remedy to be taken
lies in the cotton men themselves and
in the state legislatures. Some of
these students believe that a valoriza-
ton of part Of the present crop by
the cotton-proJucing States is entirely.
feasible and would prove helpful. The
idea is held here among government
experts also that State legislatures
ton to limit the crop next year and
for succeeding years, if desired.
1t was pointed out today that fur
ther federal measures to aid the cot
ton men might bring down on the
government demand from other sec
tiOns for similar assistance. Those
familiar with conditions in the cotton
growing States say it has been demon
strated for years that "a reduction i'm
the amount of the crop would work
no hardship, but would be advan-
taSeouS to the producer. Past efforts
to insure such reduction, however,
have failed, and the chief hope now
is in legislation taxing overproduction.
Those interested believe a reduction
in cotton growing would mean that
thousands of acres of productive land
would be turned over to other profit
aulc crops, which would insure q mar
ket for the cotton produced. The
proposed conference of governors of
Suthern States, recently suggested by
the governor of Alabama. is attracting
attention in this connection.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The cmer-

Vrccland-Aldrich act to make rs in
stead Of 80 per cent, the amount Of
commercial paper to be accepted from
banks as security for emergency cur
reny. passed the senate today with
out roll call and now goes to the
house. The measure was prompted by
inanical COZ ditiOns growing out of the
European war. An amendment adopt
cd today provides for the issue Of
emergency currency through State
banks and trust companies. Senator
Hoke Smith OF Georgia proposed the
generally by Southern senator's, who
declared that only by issuing cmer-
Gency currency to State banks could
the needed circulation be brought to
the small farmer and small mer-

Under an amendment all pri, ileges

surplus. The amendment exempts
such notes as may be issued to State
banks from the 10 per cent. tax on
state bank circulation imposed in
1875.
The senate voted down a proposal
that cotton producers should be given
preference in the loaning of cmer-
gency currency In cotton States and
that the interest charged should not
exceed 6 per cent. Senator Ovcrman
proposing the amendment. declared
the purpose Of emergency currency in
the South was to relieve the cotton
situation and said that by his amend
ment relief to the cotton producer
would be assured.

the levy this year could have been

too late now to discuss that situation.
We must discuss the one that faces
us. There Is many a poor man who

already necessarily had to consume
in order to sustain life, and will have
u hard time to make arrangements to
continue to get the necessities of life
under the present financial panic; and,
1t most assuredly would be unjust, un-
fair and tyrann,cal for the whole to
say to one, We will take your prop-
erty and force it on the market and
force your wife and children out in
the street. II you do not pay your
taxes by certain date, particularly
when the whole knows that it is i'm
possible for the one, the individual,
to make such arrangements or If he
does make it, to do SO by the pay-
