STRENGTHEN
INC Of COTTON
FUTURES Law
TO REQUIRE COTTON IN INTER
STATE COM MI ERCE TO BE
GRADED ACCORDING TO FED
ERAL STANDARDS, UPHELD.

Montgomery, Ala, July 1O.-Streng-
thening of tn cotton futures law 10
require cotton IN interstate commerce
to he graded according to federal
standards was advocated here TO-DAY
before the Alabama State Bar asso-
citation by Francis G. Caffey solicitor
of the department o, agriculture.
The law now exempts from a heavy
tax otherwise imposed cotton sold
according to those standards. Mr
Caffey also defended the constitution
ality of the law
Solicitor Cafiey expressed the behei
that although without legislation the
government standards would soon
come into general use in this country
and eventually would be accepted
abroad as TIE basis OF dealing IN
American cotton as mere matter OF
convenience and commercial adyan'
tage. If, however, there were legis'
Iation recurring the adoption OF
standards in interstate commerce, he
contended it would greatly strengthen
the cotton futures law. and the two
together would go far towards COM
pelling uniformity in the standards oi
American cotton, both in the United
States and in other countries.
During the six months operation OF
the new law, Mr.. Caffcy said, there
had been only 7o3 disputes as to grad
ing. involving u little less than $4,000
bales. referred to the secretary OF
agriculture. All those, he explained,
came from one exchange, and he
suggested that the failure of that eN-
change to frame It's rules so as to
give the force it nigh. to the work
of its own grading and classification
machinery was responsible for the
disputes. Just before h" made that
statsment. Mr.. Caffey told the asso'
citation that = dispass,Onate eXaml'
nation of the situation created the
Impression that if the evils at which
the statute is aimed persist, and can
not be eliminated by amendment
eventually the business OF dealing in
cotton futures would have to be car
ried on otherwise thar upon eX'
changes,
"In its present temper he said,
congress is determined to exercise
its undoubted power to destroy the
exchanges rather than t. see it de-
lberately expressed judgment thwart'
ed by subterfuge or evasion" lie
expressed the belief there was STRONG
probability" th3t congress would give
further consideration to compulsory
standard grading.

constitutional He first took up the

argument that the tax imposed by
the law was a direct tax on cotton
He said that tie tax was not one on
cotton. but Oh the privilege OF doing
business on exchanges, and hence
need not be apportioned. as all direct
taxes must be under the Constitution.
In support of his contention he re-
ferred to decis ons of the courts up
holding the oleomtrgarine tax laws.
The power os congress to CLASSIFY
for purposes of taxation had been 100
thoroughly estG Dlished by a long line
of cases in the supreme court, he SAID
to leave room for argument that the
law was unconstitutional because II
applied only to cotton exchanges, 10
a particular class of business upon
those exchanges Culture sales) and
TO a part only of that class OF Dusl'
ness (sales nit made according to
government standards o. grading).
Mr.. Caffey considered the argument
that the law had violated the constitu'
tion by delegating legislative power
to executive officials. H9 said powers
were conferred only on the secretary
o fthe treasury and secretary of agri-
culture. He explained the secretary
of the treasury merely prescribed
rules for the collection OF the tax, for
affixing and cancelling the tax stamps
and for keeping the records of persons
doing business under the act. The
power of the secretary Of agriculture
TO establish standards, to hear dis
putes between persons entering into
contracts in accordance with these
standards, to designate spot markets,
we're all mere details for the purpose
of carrying out OF the act which ne
said were of . character which the
supreme court had repeatedly decided
might be entrusted to an executive
officer
The penalties provided by the act,
he argued, were not so severe as to
invalidate the law, anC he saw no
serious objection in the contention
that the cotton futures law was
revenue measure and originated CON
trary TO the constitution in the senate
On that point. he stated that the
cotton futures bill, introduced by
Senator Smith, of South Carolina, did
not propose to raise any revenue and
that anyway, Senator Smiths entire
bill. including the title and retaining
only the enacting clauses was strick-
en- out in the house and the Lever
bill was inserted and finally adopted
bv congress. Under those circum'
stances. he contended it could not
be said Justly that the measure origl-
mated in the senate. Even If 1t mad
he urged that the supreme court had
refused repeatedly to g behind the
face of legisla ion to sustain an at
tack on a federal statute, based on
charges of infcrmalities in passage.

said. members of the band attacked

last night when the league directors at
their annual meeting voted to close the

hibition games whether of local or for
eign talent.
Such contests we're termed by Presi-
dent Allen T. Baum as menaces to the
life of the goose that lays the golden
egg" as they detracted from interest
in the game. He said the cause OF yes
terday's action was the fact that Man
ager Charles A, Comiskey not only
brought his Chicago White sox to the
coast. but also divided his players into
two teams, neither fully representative
OF the best material he had.
The league also put itself on record as
opposing the playing of winter base ball
by players under contract or reservation
on the ground that the practice was
detrimental to summer playing ability.
No action was taken on the salary limit
