LET THE GOVERNMENT ttALoR-
IzE THE COTTON CROf


Sixty per cent OF the cotton grown
in the United States is exported
At the outbreak of the European
war cotton on conditions promised to
yield about IA million bales, and
the demard was such that the staple
should haSe averaged about $40 per
bale, making the cotton crop OF Am
erica worth about $50 million dol
lars.
If the war keeps on as 1t is and
IL 1t should last for four months or
six months, very little cotton can be
exported.
The lack of ability to export the
cotton and the state of war in the
ccttoR manufacturing couptries, may
cause a tremendous slump in the
price The cotton crop will be worth
what it was quoted at before the
war.
II some arrangement could be
made to finance the cotton until the
war is over and in all human probah
ility It will be over six months-the
buyer and the grower could get what
the cotton is worth.
Cotton is the easiest thing in the
world to identify. One can figure
down to the last bale how much cot
ton there is.
Why can't the United States gov
ernment do with cotton what Brazil
did with coffee.
Let the government valorize the
cotton. Here is the plan.
Let the United States fix an arbi-
trary price under which cotton may
be sold.-say IL cents middIing.
Let the cotton be gathered and
stored and Just as fast as 1t is put
in sight let the government issue a
certificate against It to the holder.
This document would certify that
50 many bales were stored in cer-
tain warehouse-a government ware
house, If you please.
Upon the certificate the govern
ment could issue cotton currency.
This currency would be based upon
the cotton.
AS soon as the war is over the cot
ton would be placed upon the world
market and sold. and 1t is absolutely
certain that it would not bring less
than 12 cents.
So soon as the cotton was sold
the money could be used to retire the
cotton currency.
Our cotton is worth IA cents per
pound. If the United States govern
ment puts its power behind 1t 1t can
hold the price for the planter at a
figure approaching its value.
This itself will be great advan-
tage to the government. because II
will enable the United States to fin
ally get back from Europe several
million dollars worth of gold that
has already gone there. The higher
the cotton is held the more gold 1t
would bring back to America.
We could do with cotton what Bra
I'll did with coffee, but do 1t better.
II is easier for the United States to
control the cotton crop than II was
for Brazil to control the Coffee,
because the production OF cotton g
greater In the United States in. pro-
portion to the crop than the produc-
ito nof coffee is in Brazil in proper
tioD to the crop.
The plan is exceedingly simple.
In the last analysis the United
States Government simply issues cui
rency on the cotton at IL cents pei
pound 1t would retire the currency
just as soon as It could ssl the cot
ton in foreign country for currency

Washington. d. c.. Aug. 20
Here are some OF the things Wood
row Wilson has done for the Ameri-
can people during his administration
which has yet to reach its first year
Of existence, to-wit:
H.
A firm foreign policy--one OF
watchful waiting-<which prevented
war with Mexico, and. made impos-
sible untold loss of lives, the demor-
alizatio nof business and stagger-
ing war debt On the ohter hand
the Mexican people have advanced as
never before by the Presidents fight
to restore them possession of their
land.
IL.
A revision of the rules of business
without the usual and heretofore in
evitable panic AS the result of the
efforts Of the President the laws
have been made the same for ev-
orybody-big and little-not by a
wholesale denunciation but by peace
able and judicious means.
III.
Refutation of the oft-repeated
taunts of the Democratic party had
not capacity for solving the problems
requiring constructive treatment.
Witness the currency. tariff. income
tax, the nearly completed trust bill
and other wise legislation that not
only received the votes of the Demo-
cratic party but the votes of the Re-
ipublicans and the Bull Moosers as
well in both the Senate and the
House.
A tariff that compeIs the trust to
sell as cheaply to you as to the peo-
pie of the foreign lands. Framed
without concession to the special In
terests.
A currency law under which you
get your money when you need it,
one that prevents panics and insures
stable financial conditions.
vi.
An income tax that places upon
the rich just proportion of the
billion dollars year. which it now
costs for the maintaining of the Fed
eral Government.
VII.
& An arbitration act providing for
conciliation and arbitration in con-
troversies between capital and labor,
which has already been successfully
employed in preventing great strikes
that would have tied up the entire
railway business of the nation.
WIN.
Enlargement of the scope Of the
parcel post. which has reduced the
cost OF transportation, and become
lasting and convenient instrument
OF benefit to the consumer and the
lproducer.
TX.
Trust laws based on the golden
lrule-"The trusts must do unto the
