SAVING OF S75,0OO,0OO
TO COTTON GROWERS
Estimated Annual Benefit Embraced
in Agricultural Bill
Amendment.

a saving Of s75;O00.OO0 year to the
cotton growers of the south, it is esti-
mated by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, would result il the amendment he
proposed to the agricultural appropria-
ton bill is adopted.
He would appropriate about one mil
lion dollars tc furnish each shipping point
in the south a set of government stand
ard grades of cotton, together with 8
set of samples showing the spinning value
of each grade. SO that hereafter pro-
ducers of cotton might not be deceived
by buyers and by values arbitrarily fixed
by cotton exchanges.
Results of Tests.
Senator Smith received yesterday from
the Department of Agriculture the results
of It's tests as to the different grades OF
cotton standardized by the government
to determine the amount OF waste III con-
verting a given number of bales into
yarn: to establish the actual strength of
the yarn from each grade: to bleach the
cotton and yarn from each grade and to
determine the cost and result of bleach
ing. Only the full grades" were tested.
Taking the whole findings said SEN
ator Smith, "the average OF the diff
ference between the high grades and the
low grades as now quoted in the market
is from $40 to SIS a bale. Assuming the
average crop at 15.Oo0,00O bales, it is
to estimate one-half Of the
crop to be below middling. Therefore you
would have 7,5D0.0OO bales below the mid
ding grade. and calculating that the
farmers have lost. because Of the lack
of this knowledge. average of $40
a bale, it would mean an annual loss to
the cotton farmers of s75.oOO.00O."
Strength of the Yarns Shown.
NriGdling fair yarn. tested as to its
strength in the unbleaehed form. broke
at 695 pounds pressure. in its bleached
form at 66.7 pounds pressure; good mid
ding at 63.2 in the unbleached form and
at 61.5 in the bleached; middling in the
unbleached at GA and in the bleached
at 63.4. and good ordinary at 56.4 un-
bleached and at 900 bleached.
In the matter OF waste there was 732
per cent in middling fair. $40 in good
middnng, 1898 in middling, l2.39 in low
middling and 1917 in good ordinary.

Congress May Make It Such
by Providing for National

Mr.. FESS URGES BILL.
TO CARRY OUT PROJECT
Conce I'D by George Washington
and Advocated by Many Of
His Successors.

The present Congress is preparing to
pass the Fess bill to establish a national
university in Washington. Should the
bill be signed by President Wilson, the
pen stroke which will turn the National
Capital into the center Of scientific re-
search for the western hemisphere will
also link with the accomplishments of
the present administration the dream of
George Washington and the first admin
istration. From the time that the first
President deposited S2Ju0 worth of Po-
tomac Company stock in the Treasury to
be used as a foundation for a national
university practically every President has
favored the idea, and scores of Con-
crosses have reported bills to bring about
the desired end-but all efforts have
stopped just short of actual establish
ment. To use the words of Representa-
tive Fess, who has appeared several
times of late before the education COM
mittee OF the House. There is nothing
like it in the history of any civilized
country

Washington in the United States Treasury

the Secretary of the Treasury. but some
where in the early days of this republic

gested that the money lapsed back into

Of honor for distinguished public service
from the Civic Forum March T.
This form of commentator for good
work well done originates with the Civic
Forum, which has signally honored the
builder Of the Panama canal In making
him the first recipient Of the medal.
Joseph II. Choate will preside at the
meeting. An invitation has been sent to
President Wilson. and it is hoped that he
will be there to present the medal to Col
Goethals.
Many Notables Expected.
1t is expected that former President
Taft. Gov. Glynn, Mayor Mitchell, Gen.
Leonard Wood. Col. ToWnsley, COM
mandant of West Point and other Of
ficials will be on hand. An invitation
has been sent to Col Roosevelt, but even
Robert Erskine Ely is not willing to be-
lieve that the former President will be
able to get back here in time.
Because the building of the Panama
canal is regarded as the greatest feat
of engineering ever attempted by any
man, there seemed to be only one opin-
ion in regard to Col Gothals as the per-
son who should have the honor of re-
cciving the first medal for distinguish
ed public service. The National Council
of the Civic Forum was unanimous.

SMITH MAKESPLEA
FOR RESERVE BANK
Senator Declares Southeast
Is Entitled to Such an
Institution.
INTERPRETS PURPOSE
OF NEW CURRENCY LAW
Section Self-Supporting Two-Thirds
Of Year Should Be Recognized,
He Says.

ATLANTA, Ca. February IA sec
ton of the country which is self-support-
Ing two-thirds of the year is entitled to
receive g separate reserve district and a
reserve bank under the provisions of the
new currency bill according to Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia Senator Smith
today SO Interpreted the So-called self
sustaining provisions of the law in "A
statement before the orga nization COM
mittee Of the federal currency reserve
system here.
Il am very strongly convinced that un-
der this bill the southeastern section
should receive separate reserve district
and have a reserve bank" the senator
declared.
The fact that a section OF the coun-
try finds it necessary to borrow money
from another section during period
of crop movement. Senator Smith said.
does not render that section dependent.
This legislation. he added. does not
intend to put a Chinese wall around
each reserve district and have it keep
all of its money within its own borders.
1t carries facilities suggested by the Sec
retary of the Treasury for the movement
from one part of this country to the
other of resources from reserve banks to
reserve banks"

er asserted. This same bank. during
that period. had as an average s45?.oo
due 1t from other banks. i'll process of
collection. With the establishment OF A
reserve bank in this Immediate locality
these collections could be settled much
more rapidly, and so large a sum would
not be thus used. In this way you can
see that all the balance for which this
bank was a debtor outside of this See
tion would be wiped out
Senator Smith voiced the opinion that
New York is a debtor to this section
much more than this section Is debtor
to New York Eight months Of the
wear our banks carry deposits IN New
York and pay interest on them Four
months of the year We borrow from
New York New York uses more money
out of this section than We use out of
New York" he added.
Purpose of the Bill.
In speaking of the law as Interpreted
by him, Senator Smith expresses the be-
lief that the purpose of the bill was to
relieve pressure upon different sections of
the country which necessarily would
vary during the year.
Our reserve banks" he said. "in the
cotton section and in the wheat section

Problem OF Committee.

Senator Smiths statement to the COM
mittee was made at the end Of two
day hearing of arguments in favor OF the
ablishment of federal reserve dis
titct In the southeastern section
BY their questions Friday and Yesterday
members of the committee had created
the Impression that one of their problems
was to unite a group of so-caiied depend
ent states with another group SO inde-
pendent as to make the entire region
self-sustaining under ordinary circum-
stances. These statements led some to
believe that 1t might be the purpose OF
the committee to create districts by COM
bining southern and northern states ana
locating the reserve banks at the north
ern end of the districts.
Evening star., 1914-02-15
Not Se1f-supporelng.

Members of the committee had drawn
from advocates of a reserve district in
this section the admission that the region
was not entirely seif-suppprting through
out the year. Senator Smith expressed
the opinion that a bank IN this section
would be self-supporting according to
his Interpretation of the law In this
connection he said:
This bill requires eight banks, IT al
lows twelve. There are those who be-
lieve that the ideal system was to have
but one bank and place all the money
from all of the banks in that one upon
the theory that. in tins way. al the iu'ids
of the country could be utilized every
where and of course IL the country were
self supporting the bank would be.
but the legislation took different
shape. 1t required eight and allowed
twelve. The only direction given to the
organization committee was that II
should consider convenience in course of
business The first thought in the legis-
iation was convenience; then, course of
business
this section would be seif-supporting.
Names Possible District.
At this point Senator Smith was asked
what district he had In mind. He named
a district composed of Georgia. South
east Tennessee and possibly western
North Carolina. In substantiating his
claim that the district would be self-sup-
porting Senator Smith asserted that
would result if one sim
ply considered the figures fixed by the
bills payable from banks Of this section
during the months of August. September.
October and part Of July and of Novem-
Der when the cotton crop comes upon the
market.
Il think on my own observation that
Is per cent of the face Of those notes
should be deducted to determine the
actual debtors status Of this section,
he said
To illustrate this contention Senator
Smith cited a local bank which had an
average indebtedness for August. Sep
tember, October and November. evidenced
by bills payable, of s6s9.4s4. This same
bank had on deposit anu due it from re
serve banks s41l,c 600. and on deposit with
other banks outside of this section for
