The Cotton Futures Decision.

One OF the crazy performances of
the same Democratic congress which
put the lunacy known as the La Fol-
lette seamen's law on the statute
books was the cotton futures act. This
provided in substance for the govern
ment regulation OF the cotton ex-
changes. not only in this country but
abroad. by invoking federal taxing
power to discriminate against ex-
changes which did not comply with
the government rules. Apparently the
cotton futures act has received it's
coup de grace from the decision OF
Judge Hough in the federal district
court that it never was law because
it was passed in contravention Of the
constitutional requirement that all
bills to raise revenue must originate
in the house Of representatives.

Party in Power on the Point OF Admit

Slowly but surely the administra-
ton is turning to the tariff as the oest

current expenses. The announcement
that the treasury department will rec
ommend the suspension of the free
sugar clause OF the tariff bill is fol
lowed now by intimations that small
duty will be restored on raw WOOL.

the Underwood law.
Restoration of the duty on sugar VIII
yield an additional revenue OF 100000

Of the 'free-sugar clause will make no
addition to the present resources OF
the treasury. but will prevent loss
Of $50 ,0O0. 900 or $60.o00.000 next year.
Bonds, of course. will be necessary
to provide for the increases in the
army and navy. The public will ap-
prove of such an issue of bonds, and
there is no difficulty involved here.
But 1t is necessary, in addition. TO
meet the present deficit. amounting
now to $4,000 900. with the prospect
of growing to $100,000.000 by the end
of the present fiscal year.
The administration. in our 1udg-
ment, shows good judgment in turning
to the tariff. The first steps have been
taken and, even though it should mean
surrender of opinion held in the past.
the movement should be pursued to
the natural end.
