ADEQUATELY PROTECTED IS
 THE SOUTHERN COTTON CROP
''..ss...............s...

fly of establishing cotton warehouses on a large scale, the receipts of which could be financed by national banks. IL was the expectation that the advan- tages offered by the new federal re- serve banking system would facilitate greatly the financing of cotton ware- house receipts. But the federal sys- tenn will probably not be thoroughly organized until mid autumn, possibly in good working order early in tho spring, it is probable that 1t would have been found sufficient, in associa- : ton with cotton warehouse corpora tions. immediately to take care of the cotton planters.
 But as it Is not in working order there must be some highly artificial means adopted whereby the planters may be protected and the cotton which they have stored by made to realize sufficient money fer them. There ap- pears to be no other way than through the utilization of perhaps all of the ad- ditional currency which Secretary Me- Adoo is now authorized by Congress to issue, or, at least. to utilize all of the amount authorized in excess of the old maximum of $500. 000,0 900.
 It is vital to the planters that they be provided with funds so that they can meet their obligations They had every reason to expect that when their cotton is harvested they would find a ready and profitable market for it. and in that way come into possession of funds with which to take up their notes.
 The proposition, however must he worked out with considerable care. Precautions must be taken which will make il certain that as soon as the embargo upon our export is relieved through the policing of the seas for the protection of. our commerce the cotton will move as speedily as possible from the warehouse to the foreign markets. Very likely soon atfer the situation is well in hand, as it was believed to be fairly well controlled within 10 days after the stock exchange closed the New York banks will undertake to work out the problem.
 The rate of interest charged for the use of additional currency, per cent for the first month, increasing there after at the rate of 1 per cent month, will, it is thought here, be sufficient to prevent anything like delay in nov ing the cotton from the warehouses to the seaports as soon as commerce can safely be resumed.

 ANOTHER SETBACK
British Moratorium Extend. ed-Slight Hardening of
 Foreign Exchange

New York. September 1.=-Eiuaneiel sentiment again was affected adversely today by the extension of the British moratorium and q slight hardening of foreign exchange. Acknowledgement by the chancellor of the exchequer that it would be unwise to attempt to resume |specie payments at this time coincided With private advices received here re garding financial conditions in Lon don.
 The recurrent rise in exchange once more was attributed to the reported ad- vance of the German army toward the French capital. Anent the exchange market it was authoritatively declared that enough exchange had been accum ulated by New York to meet its ob- lisations abroad, Demand sterling was quoted at 5.os and cables at sos There were some scattered quotations for ex charge on Paris. but these proved to be merely nominal. while German marks remained unquoted
 There is reason to believe that the eastcrn railroads will follow the lead Of the Pennsylvania road, which ha iiis tooet its iHttfcnanEeable m1leApe This is in line with the recommenda ticn of the interstate commerce com mission mad9 on August when it handed down its freight rate decision It is understood that some of the east ern roeec are already preparing tariff on interstate trips at the rate of 21s cents where this can be done with out conflicting with state laws.

 Petitions for a hearing from banks in Pittsburg and Baltimore which are dis satisfied with the work of the reserve bank organization committee in nam ing reserve cities have reached the board. Other work, however, has inter- fered with their consideration
 The board debated today the appli- cation of the National City bank for permission to open branches in South American countries. The matter will be disposed of tomorrow.

SOUTHERN SOLONS SCORED BY SLOAN

The Nebraska Congressman Cites Figures to Show That Alabamians Are
 Missing Roll Calls


 Washington, September 1.-tspe Besides taking issue with Representa- tive Underwood and Representative Heflin in the recent assertions that the members from Alabama had been con scientious in their attendance at ses- s1ons of the House Repreesnfative Sloan, republican, of Nebraska, in the record today charged virtually all the representatives from the south with absenteeism.' The statements of Messrs. Underwood and Heflin he ayers, would have been more convinc- Ing If they had shown where the southern statesmen actually were prior 10 their respective primaries
 Cites Alabama Primary
 First citing the fact that the Ala bama primary was held on April 6. Mr. sloan has inserted the following fig ures in the Congressional Record where all who run may read: There were eight roll calls between March and March 31. when there were 10 representatives named of whom were seriously i'll. At all of these roll calls not. more than six were present at six roll calls not more than six were pres ent. At six roIi calls, only four out of ID were present. At one only three out of 10 were present. Six roll calls were held between March 31 and April '. when there were nine representatives and of these only five out of nine were present. At one time only one out of nine were present. Three members were absent at c>ery one of the 14 roll calls. One other member was ab- sent at all except one roll call One was absent at seven out of IA roll calls, making five members who were absent from more roll calls than they were present."
 
 No Names Mentioned
 No names are mentioned by Sloan In his statement. Similar figures are presented for Arkansas, Florida, Geor- gia. Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas, MT. Sloan concluding with the comment that the southerners are not to be criticised so much for attending their own primaries as they are for successfully urging rule recently which keeps northern members from their primary activities.
 Tn this connection Representative Abercrombie appears to have the House record for conscientious attendance un- official figures charging him with only four failures to answer roll calls. In approximately 200 roll calls, he has been on deck at nearly all while one member from New York is said to have missed almost ITO calls.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

To the Citizens of Everett:
In accepting the nomination for the
office of commissioner of public
works, did so because | thought that
the time had arrived when the people
of Everett should have a man for this
office who is thoroughly familiar with
the duties and needs of this office and
possesses the necessary ability to fill
the same with intelligence and credit
to the community My years of eX-
perience both in engineers and ordl-
nary business will, if I am elected, l
am sure, prove of great value to the
taxpayers. My platform is as follows:
To devote all my time to the office.
To use DAY LABOR wherever pos
sible and practicable. Several years
experience in handling work by DAY
LABOR gives me confidence that !
can do this successfully
To do all that is possibly to obtain
municipal water system.
To cut down expenses wherever pos
sible to do so without impairing the
efficiency of the department, and to
keep no man on the pay roll who is
not willing to do a full days work for
a days pay.
To serve all the people impartially.

Candidate for Commissioner of Public
Works.

dence of unlimited natural resources.
1t is very gratifying to know that
our own city of Everett, where the
hum of industry is heard on every
side, cannot be counted in this class,
but nevertheless isn't it well to note
the tendency of the times?
I believe that prosperity is founded
on we'll known economic principles
and whether it be an individual or
city, economy is one of the leading
factors.
When you see the tendency of the
citizens to own their homes you must
conclude that they are actuated by at
least one of two reasons and perhaps
both; first, because it is cheaper than
to rent, and second, to enjoy the many
benefits that are to be derived from
ownership. Certainly the first reason
is commendable and shows a thrifty
spirit but the second reason is of far
more Importance, although unfortun
ately in many cases subordinate to the
first.
Our sympathy goes out to the man
or woman whose childhood days are
but an indistinct memory of moving
vans and who cannot say, How dear
o my heart are the scenes of my
childhood"
A we'll regulated municipal govern
ment, that is keenly alert, can con-
tribute very materially to the pros
perity of the community in encourag-
ing ownership of homes. This is not
at all visionary. but quite practical.
The question of taxation often times
decides whether a man shall be a
renter or the owner. The protection
of life land property and the establish
ment of such conveniences for public
comfort as are made possible by close
population, are the legitimate objects
of municipal government, but like an
individual a city, in order to be pros
porous must live we'll within its
means-and this is what the property
owner is very much interested in.
To him the happiness of his family
in the security of their homes, is in
finitely greater and more substantial
than any pride the municipal authori
ties may have in possessing the most
modern, up-to-date equipment for its
various departments. These things
are all right and proper If not pur
chased at the expense of the laborine
man-who is compelled to count every
dime in the payment of his modest
home
It is certainly a short sighted policy
that does not take into account the
development of citizenship. The
moment that man acquires a home
that moment his point of view
changes. He takes more interest il
civic affairs; he becomes discriminat
ing at the primaries and voting uni
for an efficient, economical govern
ment
