URGES AN OCCUPATION TAX
"Rock Hill Plan" Of 1911 Convinced
Him That Pledges Of Curtailment
Are Worthless.

Columbia.-Convinced by the his
tory Of the Rock Hill plan" OF 1911,
when was of his devising, that the
pledges Of cotton acreage reduction
are practically worthless, and believ-
ing that the financing Of the present
crop is relatively a simple matter, the
important thing being the restriction
somehow of next years crop, John
G. Anderson of Rock Hill has propos-
ed that the South Carolina general
assembly, called to meet in extra
session October 6, taking the initia-
tive in regulating the planting of 1915
by making cotton growing subject to
state license.
Mr.. Anderson is in Columbia to
consult with influential people regard
ing the feasibility of his plan. He
has laid it before Senator Smith and
several other members Of the South
Carolina delegation in congress and
has asked Wade Stackhouse, M. D.,
of Dillon, president of the South Car
DINA division, Southern Cotton Con-
gress, to present it to the cotton con-
ference meeting in New Orleans. Be
sides, he Is mailing to his trade
throughout the state copies Of a state
ment from him accompanied by the
letter of w. B.. Gruber of WATERFORD
holding such a business license as he
proposes to be constitutional.
Mr.. Anderson suggests that the
committee of which Senator Hardin
Of Chester is chairman, and which
was recently formed by the South
Carolina division, Southern Cotton
congress, to draft a bill on acreage re-
duction, to be submitted at the extra
legislative session, should cali into
conference with it 10 or II citizens
informed on such matters; that if the
committee approve of the business
license bill and that measure be
adopted by the general assembly. con-
ditioned on it's adoption later ty the
legislatures of two-thirds of the other
cotton states, a legislative commission
should be created, whose duty II
would be to lay the matter before
the other legislatures and urge on
them participation in this plan Of re
lief.
Merely to finance the present CROP
and leave planting next year unre
stricted would be, Mr.. Anderson says
to make utter ruin assured, for II
that case there would come on the
market ultimately the full crop of thai
year plus the 6,O0O,O 900 bales or there
abouts carried over from this season
The general assembly, Mr.. Ander
son thinks, will hardly care to enac'
the cotton growers license bill int
law, unless its coming into operation
be conditioned on the adoption of like
measures in perhaps two-thirds o.
the other cotton states; but he be
lieves this cooperative act Of thu
states can be induced and he Is hope
full that South Carolina will take thu
lead in the movement.
