We are no lawyer bat il seems 10 u hat
the passage Of any law prohibiting the
planting Of any number Of acres Of cotton
would be- 4 direct infringement on the IN
dividual rights of the citizens of the
State. and penalizing of the violation of
the law breaker would be unconstitutional.
II the State has II right TO say we shall
not plant an hundred acres they certainly
have the right TO say we shall not plant
any. thus taking from u our living. Would
they not then also have the right 10 say
We shall not plant any corn. wheat or any
other commodity they saw fit? Clearly
they would have no right to 10 this. They
might put such an enormous tax on the
production OF cotton that il would operate
prohibiiive and thus avoid the unconstitu-
tionality of the act, but We do not believe
they would have the right TO say we could
not plant radishes in our back yard be-
cause it would reduce the price our neigh
Dor would gel Tor his, or even effect our
own income.-Rio Grande Clarion tPharr.)
Ii D. quite apparent from the fact that
neither the National nor the State law
makers took any action looking to the re-
duction uf the cotton acreage. that this
suggestion has met with no favor. Some
more popular method may, or possibly
will. be devised for saving the cotton situa-
tion. Many have arrived AT the opinion
that a. the war goes ON conditions in this
country will adjust themselves.
