hardly probable that 10000 Texas voters

officers as To furnish them that sort Of
information without some systematic II
forts Of the Officers To get ~. Naturally

Would Erect Warehouses.
As a preparation for this Mr. Rus
sell suggests that some method be
evolved to hold whatever surplus cot
ton crop there may be until that
time His proposition includes the
erection or warehouses where the
cotton can be stored. At the same
time he would provide the producers
Of the cotton with necessary funds
to tide him over until the cotton can
be sold These funds, he believed,
should be provided in some way by
the government. either state or ma
tional. working through the local
banks.
This latter proposition is already
being considered by Dallas banks.
It was the opinion expressed by one
banker yesterday that some method
would be devised enabling the banks
to loan from $50 to $40 bale on the
cotton produced in Texas. This sum,
IL was believed, would take care OF

concerned. Optimism is what is need
ed and is what will pull the country
through the present crisis. SO many
