Blames South's Plight on
Lack of Rural Credits

II Congress had enacted rural
credits legislation. as the Baltimore
platform promised. there would now
be little or no need for the various
schemes which are being proposed
for the relief OF the cotton growers
and other cotton interests. in the
opinion OF Senator Gronna Of North
Dakota.
Senator Gronna, in the course Of a
Ienate discussion over the cotton
situation. took OCCASION to point out
that this seemed to be a case where
rural credits legislation was needed.
and that instead OF passing such
legislation. as they had promised, the
Democrats had failed to do it,
The question of cotton legislation
is still agitating many of the South
err members of Senate and House. In
spite Of this President Wilson has
refused to approve any of the plans
for such Legislation. Southern Sena-
tors and House members at a meet
Ing Thursday night decided to make
another effort to force a cotton cur
rency bill through Congress. The
measure agreed on Is a modification
OF the Henry bill. II calls for a loan
Of s2sO,000.00O by the Government
through national and State banks at
a maximum rate of per cent.

COTTON POOL PLANS.

Two projects for relieving tie cot
ton situation are presented to the
public with the backing OF high busi-
ness authority. 1t may oe assumed
that somewhere between them will
lie found tile solution. the one comes
from FcstOs J. Wade, of St. Louis,
one of the distinguished fnanciers Of
the country; the other from the
chairman of the Britt in Fede, alton
Of Master Cotton Spinner3 and Man
Ufacturers.
In brief, Mr.. Wade proposes Il pool
of S150,000,0O0 to be raised by the
financial and business interests CT
the country; TIL; rcol to make loans
on cotton storage certihcltes. He is
confident that the subscriptions can
be secured, and that in til: way the
surplus cotton can be held back and
the market steadied.
The other plan, from the British
federation, is international in scope,
and very different. 1t proposes that
the British and American govern
ments urite in taking OYER The sur
plus cotton and holding it with the
view to creating permanent re-

and held back m times of normal or

EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL
NEEDED.

In view of the present congestion
in the high schools, making ncccs-
sary double scseion plan at Busi-
ness, and crippling efficiency at 9TH
ers, the plea Of East Washington
citizens for immediate action on the
prspo sed Eastern High School de-
serves attention.
These citizens make the telling
point that large percentage of East
Washington pupils now are forced
tc take the long trip across town to
Central, Business, and Mckinley.
Only last. years figures now are
available, but it is probable that the
proportions remain about the same.
Those figures, compiled by former
Superintendent Davidson, show that
Central had l61 p::pil' from cast of
North Capitol street; that Business
High School accommodated 426 such
pupils; and that in Mckinley Manual
Training School there were 292 East
Washington pupils.
These pupils were forced to the
latter two schools because Eastern
High School does nat now afford the
courses they need, and those IT Cen
