Washington, Oct 6.-The proposed
$3.50, 100000 cotton fund found favor
at the Treasury Department to-day.
Secretary McAdoo thinks enough Of
the plan proposed by Festus j. Wade
Of st. Louis to assure thorough
study of the proposals. This after
noon he named committee consist
ing of Messrs. Hamlin, Warburg and
Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board to confer with Mr.. Wade, j. H.
Fulton of the Commercial National
Bank, and the Commercially ermania
Bank and Trust Company Of New
Orleans. H. NJ. Harding of Vicksburg
and others of Mr.. Wade's associates.
One of the encouraging features
to those trying to solve the cotton
problem is Mr.. McAdoo's inisstence
that the meeting be held at the earli-
est possible minute. No date has
been set for the conference, but it is
not unlikely that it will be held Fri
day. This will allow sufficient time
for Mr.. Fulton to reach here from
New Orleans, and R. II. Stewart, an
other of the indorsers of the Wade
plan, from Dallas.
The fact that such serious consider
alton is being given the st. Louis pro-
ject IL taken here as an Indication
that much merit Is found in the idea
at the Treasury Department.

BRUNER GIVES OUT STATEMENT
ON COTTON.
Commissioner Heartily Endorses the
Proposition of No Cotton
Crop i'm 1915.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 4.-Commis-
sioner Of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton e. O. Bruner has given out the
following advice to the farmers:
81 unqualifedly indorse the No
1915 Cotton proposition. It's the
only solution in my opinion. Does
it not look like the height Of fooly for
the farmers to sell two crops for
the same money that they can get
for one?
ri attended the cotton conference
in New Orleans, and was we'll pleased
with it's decision. The only emission
in my opinion was the failure to fix
prices. Prices should have been fix
ed at Is cents for middling cotton,
one half put on the market this year
and the remaining half in 1915. But
before putting the remaining half on
the 1915 market, the members Of
the cotton association should have
reassembled and fixed the price on
that half.
''If these plans were adopted and
strictly adhered to, the South would
become the greatest stock and grain
producing country known. With our
rich soil, warm climate, short and
mild winters, we should lead in those
products.
Instead of $4,000, 900 bushels Of
corn, our 1916 crop would reach
easily 100, 100000 bushels, and In
stead of having to send North for our
meat we should, in short TINT have
meat to ship. And instead of pay
ing as we are to-day i'm our city
markets, Is cents for pork or beef,
we would get the same for 10 cents
per pound.
"Of course, you will find specula-
tors who live on the misfortune. or
rather the misconduct, of the farm
ers, object to such plans as imprac-
ticable. But the unself1Sh imam who
has the interest Of the farmers ct
heart, can readily SEQ the great har-
vest the farmers would reap in fol-
lowing out this c0ufse. -
"Now is the time for every patriotic
citizen to show his colors. Every
man should bear his share Of the
burden. The bankers should not
push their creditors tnes wholesale
merchants should not crowd the re
tail merchant, and the retail uer-
chant should not crowd or push his
customers BY SO doing the farmers
will be able to hold their cotton un-
til they get what It is worth:
''It's nothing short of criminalfty
to, force a farmer toesell his cotton
at the present prices, and / hope that
Louisiana will not find a single man

 Thrift has not been pracced heretofore in conducting the business of Arizona in the Union have spent more money in proportion their population and perhaps none has less to show it than Arizona This may properly be charged to the educational advantages of experience But we have had the experience and it is time to prove that profit will be derived from it
 In her infancy as state. Arizona have re- qured the large number of official and comms- sioner attendants whose stipends totaed fat sum which was drawn from the treasury There is no longer need of the services of many of these officials and con- missioners The only excuse their retention would be fragrant one continuation of spells system Taxpayers have become deeply concerned over the mat ter in which their money spent and any attempt 10 perpetuate the spells system is bound to meet with stern rebuke
 Governor Hunt can and doubtless will, take the lead in insttuting practical economy in government He has it within his power to discontinue offices which were established when il was assumed there nis sion for them The Bee Commissioner the hreeheaded land commission the inspector of weights and measures and other offices may be among those which can wei be dispensed with Governor Hunt should be preparc to decide what deadwood exists in the operating depart ments of the State Neither he the legislators ar jusaed in permitting thoughts of patronage to obrud on their efforts toward real economy.

Certain labor leaders in New York City have invoked a law that prohibits the employment of aliens public works and are trying through its enforcement to throw about lSOoO men out of employment
 Tine employees in question are sewerdiggers, work ing on the new subway. The hostility to the alien la borers does not come from the sewerdiggers union. There is no such union It is organized workmen of skilled trades who want the diggers fired"
 There is no indication that the union themselves want the obs or that their fenowcitizens in other oc equations want them Excavating is such hard and dsagrooable work that only mskilled, newly ar rived immigrants will do it.
