the press by the Postmaster General;
American newspapers will not tolerate
it," was the comment of Senator Hitch
cock to fellow-members OF the Senate
banking and currency committee yester-
day afternoon. Samuel Untermyer was
before the committee when Senator
Hitchcocks protest was made.
The bill provides for denial of the mails
to stock exchanges which violate restric-
tons imposed by the measure.
Senator Hitchcock declared the measure
was an attempt to take from the states
powers and duties which are purely do
mestic and in no sense federal. He as
serted that the wording OF the bill would
give the Postmaster General absolute su-
pervision of whatever news concerning
stock exchanges papers outside of the
cities where the exchanges were located

Mr.. Untermyer insisted the power given
the postmaster was limited: that only
transactions of fraudulent character
would be barred from the mails. 'The
press always has been jealous of the post
Office privileges he said. fearing that
regulations might some time reach to

Hitchcock Disputes Statement.
"As a newspaper man. I take excep-
ton to that statement" said Senator
Hitchcock. THE papers only resist any
attempt to place in the hands Of any one
man the power to censor publications
The freedom of the press is a funda-
mental principle of our government
Senator Nelson attacked the bill as not
sufficiently drastic.
"You do not get at the root Of the
evil" he said. 81 think it is in the list
ing of stocks. That Is what you should
seek to control. That is the great power
of these exchanges; the power to place
wildcat stocks on their list"
Mr.. Untermyer insisted that the pro-
vision requiring a pub ic statement of
the affairs and responsibility of listed
corporations served much the same pur-
pose.

street spirit" remarked Senator Nelson.

Losses at the bureau during Director

the thief later confessed. Forty dollars

RICE SITUATION

Information gathered from the diff.
ferent sections of the rice belt indicates
that the condition of the rice crop at
present is up to the normal. The acre.
age taking the belt throughout the
three rice states of Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas will be about the same as
last year. The acreage in Jefferson
Davis Parish however will be consider
ably less than it was last yoar. The
latter part of the planting season has
been a little more expensive than the
first part of the season because of The
recent wet spells.
Crop conditions in southwest Louis.
isiana vary in different sections. In
Acadia and Vermillion, conditions are
unusually promising in every way
The crop is up to a fine stand and it is
several weeks ahead of the territory
farther west. In Jefferson Davis Par.
iSh conditions are very good, being
nearly, if not quite, on par with the
Crowley section. In CaicaSieu Parish
conditions are not so good, the rains
having interfered with planting. Con.
ditionS in that parish are similar to
those in Jefferson county. Orange
county has suffered severely from rains
that have delayed planting and in
creased cost of the late planting.
A part of the rice crop this year was
planted about the usual time and the
harvest may be expected at the usual
time, but in some sections of the belt il
will be impossible to finish before the
middle of June, and it is not unlikely
that the first of July will this year see
some farmers putting in rice. This
will string out the harvest and may
help to make it cheaper.
With reference to the kind of rice
planted this year it seems that the
Blue Rose is rapidly supplanting the
Japan rice, 1t is estimated that not
less than loo, 900 acres of Blue Rose has
replaced Japan rice in the three states
The Southern Rice Growers AsSoCia
ton is preparing to launch its annual
campaign for membership General
Manager Eignus is confident that the
association will in the season of 19l4.l5
handle at least as much rice as in any
previous year. The association is
steadily regaining favor and is now
really on a more substantial basis than
at any previous time.
