Ready to Call Legislature Together

The governor announced today that he is ready to call the legislature together, hut that first he must have some practi- cal plan to present to the state lawmakers. He declared that he fully appreciates the urgency of the situation. but that with out some definite plan to propose it would be an act of folly to plunge the legisla- ture into discussion of the cotton prob- lem.
 Every mail brings me letters urging a special session of the legislature" said the governor. No one, ehowever, has suggested a feasible or practical plan Hundreds of suggestions have been made but nothing, so far as l can see. that will really have the effect of relieving the st- uation. Should any plan appeal to me as practical, or should it appeal to the in- tellhgent citizens of Alabama as offering the needed relief, I shall at once lose no time in calling the legislature into extra ordinary session. But in the meantime am waiting until I shall be convinced that the situation may be relieved by leg islative action.'

tions that it would take years and years to recover from, if not actually bankrupt the state. And yet he believes that the plan might be a good one if other states would take similar action. and if the cot ton acreage might be reduced one-half in 1915.
 Another argument against the Bankhead plan, in addition to the one above out lined, would be the possibility of con tiguous states, such as Georgia. Florida. Mississippi Tennessee and Louisiana dumping a large supply Of cotton into Alabama. Again, it is pointed out that should the price of cotton remain below 10 cents for any period of time it would be inconceiyable to suppose that the spin ners of the country wolud purchase Ala bama's supply when the market in Geor- gia and other southern states offered it at or s cents.
 In the opinion of the governor, Alabama would be carrying the umbrella for the south were this state to adopt the plan as outlined by Senator Bankhead without similar action op the part of other states.

 Pittsburg newspaper publishers who have inquired into the effect of that sec ton of the bill as passed by the House suggest that tax could be imposed on the basis of sworn circulation.

Plans Criticized

Washington, October 9-The plan for direct federal aid to cotton growers to the extent of $400 000.0O0 was the subject of sharp criticism in letter to Repre- sentative Henry of Texas made public tonight by Secretary McAdoo The letter is in reply to recent statements to the House by Mir Henry.
 MT. McAdoo announces that the pro- posal to sell $250,000,0 900 of Panama canal bonds to bolster the cotton crop is not practicable and generally objects to all the features of the Henry plan. He calls attention to the fact that those who deal in fobacco, naval stores, copper, silver and other commodities have sought gov- ernment aid.
 If we disregard every suffering interest except cotton" he said. "and make it the sole beneficiary of governmental favor, what becomes of the democratic principle of equal rights for all, special privileges to none?
 If we enter upon the course you sug- gest we must help every distressed n- dustry impartially. To do that would necessitate the issue of many more than $40O 100000 in bonds and greenbacl<s, and dangerously involve the credit of the gov ernment It would be a hopeless under taking, in defiance of every sound prin- ciple of finance and economies, with cer- tain disaster at the end"
 Acompromise loan proposal was in- troduced in the House today in bill framed last night by a conference of southern members of Congress- It would reduce the proposed loan to s25O, 900, ,OOO.
 While MT McAdoo was writing his let ter, the committee of St. Louis jobbers and bankers, headed by Festus J. Wade. was in conference with committee of the federal reserve board over the proposed Sl5O.O0O,000 cotton loan fund to take care of the surplus cotton crop. No decision was reached and the conference will be resumed tomorrow. Governor Hamlin and Messrs Warburg and Harding, the board will discuss the proposal to- morrow before they meet the bankers, and later the flIll reserya boa rd may ia k e

Would Tax Cancellation

We respectfully suggest that instead of stamps being placed on manifests or bills oi lading for cancellation that each news paper be taxed on it's sworn circulation statement now made semi-annually to the lnited States government paid, daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually or an nually as may be imposed, either apply ing on past business or payable in ad- vance.
 It Is worthy of note that newspapers mailed through the United States post office are received and delivered without affixing any stamps and special arrange nents for weekly payment being in ef- feet The recognition on the part of the postoffice department of the necessities of a daily newspaper establishes precedent that might consistently be applied in the application of the proposed tax legisla- tion.'

Details of Loan

The discussion today dealt with details of the proposed loan fund. Board mem- bers were interested to know what profit the packers of the pool expect to make, and what It's benefits will be to the cot ton producer.
 MT McAdoo's letter to MT. Henry went exlaustiveiy into the aid so far extended by the treasury to national banks in the cotton states showing that 1t has issued to them since the war began s6s. .O000Ga in currency; that it's crop funds there amount to sll,sS7,O0o that it's regular deposits in the south total $lG065.po0 and that there is available for southern banks

Let Us Have a Clean Tewn.

Plckens Chapter .. D. c., at
it's last meeting decided that the
time had. arrived when a clean
up day for the town was in Or
der. Feeling that a suggestion
of the fact would be sufficient to
arouse a general interest, COM
mittees were appointed for this
purpose. All the ladies organi-
cations are earnestly urged to
take an active part in the work.
Our mayor is not only willing
but anxious to haye their help.
Cooperation is necessary for
success. Let clubs, officials and
individuals work together for the
common good. 1t is useless to
talk Of a town beautiful till we
have a town clean.
