A week later a meeClng or DanK- ers, business men and produc- CTS was held in Washington, ov- CT which George W. Rogers, of this state, presided, and the fol- flowing week another meeting was held in the same city at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury. On August 27th an other meeting was held in New Orleans at the instance of liar vey Jordan, President of the Southern Cotton Growers Asso- citation, and more recently the meeting of the National Farm ers' Union was held in Texas, at which the same subject was dis cussed and dealt with.
 As your Commissioner, I att tended one of the meetings in Washington City, and sat with them during their deliberations. So far as my observation ex- tends, but little has been accom- lplished to give relief to the cot ton producers, especially the small farmer, who is in greater need of help. The meetings in Washington resulted in the Secretary of Treasury adopting a policy that would make cot ton warehouse receipts basis of credit upon which money could be obtained for moving the crop and holding part of it. However, this assistance must come through the regular banking channels, and in such a way that the banks themselves will have to stand behind these credits. The uncertainty of the market value of cotton will, of course, weaken this source of re- lief, and so, after all, the South will have to carry whatever bur- den is involved.
 I The various meetings that have been held have brought a. bout some confusion, and makes it doubtful if any great good has been accomplished. Personally, was in favor of a warehouse system of holding the cotton, with the government loaning, through the local banks, direct to the farmers on warehouse re- ceipts to the extent of $35.00 per bale at 4 per cent, for the first six months, and the inter- eat rate to increase one per cent a month thereafter. It was my idea that the government make loans on cotton held in accordance with plans approved by the government at points where as much as 5000 bales is 
 marketed during the season, and that the warehouse should be in charge of a government a. gent, and the cotton be graded and classified by the govern ment, and that a charge of one dollar per bale be made for warehouse charges and insur- ance, and that ten per cent of all warehouse cotton be placed on the market each month.
 I called upon the Secretary of Agriculture in Washington and presented this plan, but the Secretary would not agree to any plan for the government to loan money to the producer di- rect, or through the local banks.
 I have been urged to call meeting of the cotton growers and business men in this state to discuss the situation, but hesitate to do so because see no permanent good that could come from it at the present time, and it would be putting the people to that much unnec- essary expense in attending. l believe the local merchants and bankers will do all they can to help market. the crop to the

Ground Is Broken
 F0y Memorial To
 Abraham Lincoln
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-While freezing winds swept across the Potomac from the Virginia hills where stands the Lee Mansion at officer of the civil war opened today the simple exercises that marked the breaking of ground for the construc- tion of the great white marble mon ument the nation is to erect to Abraham Lincoln. Today, the one hundred and fifth anniversary of Lincoins birth, was chosen for the breaking of the ground where the two million dollar structure will stand
 Only a small group witnessed the event. Joseph c. Blackburn, former senator of Kentucky was the first to sink a spade into the ground. and then with uncovered head, spoke in high praise of the memory of the president whom he fought half a century ago.
  Lincoln is now regarded as the greatest of all Americans" Senator Blackburn said, and that he is so held by the south as well as the north. Today we let the country know that this great work has been begun and will be carried on steadily until completion"
 In the senate it was a southerner who made today a motion to ad- journ out of respect to the memory of Lincoln. The motion was made without prearrangement by Senator Overman of North Carolina, after the reading of the former presi- dents Gettysburg address by Senator Bradley of Kentucky. It was Sen ator Kenyon of Iowa who suggested that the senate might well pause a moment to observe the birthday an niversary.
 The house, too. paused in it's de- Alterations to pay it's respects to the memory of the emancipator.

Want Authority To Make C0mbany
 Produce Records
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 WASHINGTON. Feb. F. - Upon learning today from the interstate co mmerce commission that Wible T. Mapother, vice president of the Louisville and Nashville road had openly defied the commissions agents in an investigation of the roads af fairs, plans were made tonight by senate leaders for the early adoption of a resolution by Senator Lea, of Tennessee, providing for the ap- pointment of a special senate com mittec to cooperate in the inquiry. The refusal of the railways off cials recently to submit certain rec crds to the commission caused the commission to appeal for a senate committee in order that jurisdiction may be established whereby con- tempt proceedings may be instituted if there are further attempts to de- fy the authority of the government.
 In support of this appeal E. F.. Clark, chairman of the commission. made public report by Commis- sioner Meyer on the conduct of Vice President Mapother. charging the railroad officials forcibly elected the interstate commerce commission examiners from the office of the road at Louisville, Ky, who were seeking to guard records which MT. Mapother threatened to revise or de- stroy
 MT Mapother, it is declared. warn ed the commission agents that they would have to Tick" him to get the records. and boasted that his com pany hitherto had refused to furnish files to the commission without get ting into trouble. The report quoted him as saving: 'We refused the files to you people before and arc not in jail vet
 The files which were denied the commission related to passes and contributions for maintaining politi- cal agents or for political cam paigns.

WANT ID HOLD UP HEADLIGHT
 LAW ONE YEAR
State Officials and Big Rail road Men Conduc tin 2 Tests Upon Proposed Sub stitute Engine Headlight at Tucson

As result of the conferences be- ficials and the members of the cor poration commission. held in Phoenix last week, a series of tests are be- ing made in Tucson which are at tended by Governor Hunt, Attorney General Bullard and Chairman Geary and Commissioner A. w. Cole of the corporation commission, upon the proposition of the headlights for loco motives.
 Since the law was passed by the state legislature nearly two years ago, requiring railroads to equip their engines with headlights of 1900 can dle power, there has been cOntro- Versy between the state and the rail roads over the matter. The railroads have contended that it is impossible to equip engines with any such head light. They have, however, been using HOO candle power lights and they claim this has been disastrous to the eyes of the employees on ac- count of the brilliancy of the light. In short, it is claimed it blinds the men with it's brilliancy.
 The steps of the controversy have been quite unique First, a refercn- dunn was filed against the law, but the people, by large vote, adopted the measure despite the work that was done in behalf of the railroads. Then followed the application for an injunction in the federal court, the temporary injunction and the hold up of the enforcement of the law.
 The most recent step in the matter was the application of the railroad officials, headed by R. J. Clancy, as sistant general manager of the South ern Pacific company, made to the corporation commission for a suspen- sion of the criminal provisions of the statute providing the company is able to prove it's contentious are sound.
 The latest contention is that the 15O candle power light is the best of all because it throws a beam further. is less binding and better all around. It is for the purpose of making these tests that the state officials went to I'ncson yesterday. There will be two tests. one standing and the other run ming. It is desired to have the pres ent law suspended until the next leg islature.
 Tn addition to this, while the ma jority of the members of the corpora ton commission are in Tucson, the question of the rates to be charged by the Tucson Electric Light X Power company will be taken up and additional evidence introduced in a hearing to be conducted there today
