boInle19 ere not pAoQSriy Responding
to the fedesal reserve board ruling that
money should be loaned on cotton at
6 per cent. also came in for heated
arguments by the junior senator. He
explained that he had recently been
In Washington in session with the re-
serve board, and that while there, at
his suggestion, the board had agreed
that the stream of money available for
disc0unting cotton receipts would be
shut off from that bank which dis
counted cotton paper at higher
rate of interest than 6 per cent. Such
ruling, he added, precluded the idea
of the banks acquiescence in the pro-
vision Of the law as being optional.
The banks were compelled to comply,
he asserted, to remain an active part
Of the federal reserve system.
1T seems that you just cant drive
it into the bankers head that they
can discount any volume Of cotton
receipts, irrespective of the size of
capital stock or assets Of the bank,
he continued. "If the cotton is prep
erly insured, and graded and placed
where there will be no exposure tC
weather conditions, by the provisions
of the law the cotton is a banking
asset, and the bank is compelled tt
discount the paper at 6 per cent
This discounted paper is then sent OF
to the reserved bank and rediscountet
at 3 per cent. And any bank can dis
count $5,OOOOOO worth of commercial
paper If 1t should be called on to do SO
There's no limit, just so the farmer
complies with the provisions Of th'
law in housing, insuring and grading
his cotton. The central reserve banl
issues steady stream Of notes to dis
count this paper, and the capital Of ,
member bank has absolutely nothing
to do with the volume Of paper it dis
counts on cotton. The notes are issue,
on three-fOurths Of the market valu
Of the cotton"
Senator Smith claims the author
ship Of that section Of the federal re
serve act which places cotton in tn
class with other commodities, upol
which the government will issue note.

SMITH PREDICTS
RISE FOR COTTON
WILL GO BEYOND Is CENTS
Junior Senator Tells How Banks Can
Aid Movement Of Crop. Heavy
War Orders.

Columbia, Sept 27.-"Cotton will
certainly so beyond Is cents. JUS,
how much 1 won't say, nor will I re.
peat what said to Columbia Banker
this morning. But cotton is going
above Is cents q pound.
The above was United States Sena-
tor f. d. Smiths optimistic summary
OF the cotton situation when in Co
lumbia Saturday. His conclusion, he
explained, was based on two factors:
One that the 1915 crop will not be
more than 1O,5OO,OOO bales; the other
the exorbitant demand for cotton for
the manufacture Of war munitions.
which is becoming more urgent each
day to meet heavy orders from Europe
plus the impending crisis~in Mexico
and the appeal for increased armament
In the United States, incident to
threatened complications with Europ-
can countries.
Senator Smith also made q striking
analogy between the present crop and
that OF 1914. Last year we produced
more than 16,O0O,OOO bales. Despite
the decentralization of the European
spinners and the fact that the cotton
exchange were closed large portion
OF the season, we have consumed pract-
3ealiy All Of last years crop. This year

State Insurance
 Is Recommended

PHOENIX, Jan. l4-State fire in surance, strict supervision of agents, bond requirements from fidelity and surety companies and the perfecting of an arrangement which will make certain the payment by employers of their lia bilities to employees. are recommended in the report of State Superintendent of Insurance Bridges. which was issued recently.
 The report which covers the work of the department since its organization in October 1913. states that in the state attempts to fix the rates for fire insurance companies operating in Ari- zona, that a system of state insurance Is an absolute necessity. '+,The idea of state insurance" the report says, 'fs not new and there is no doubt as to this plan being thoroughly practicable and if adopted. il would undoubtedly tend to place the business conditions oi our state upon a higher moral and physical plane
 | Strict official supervision of agents and power to authorize and revoke the licenses of all public adjusters. are also asked for by the superintendent Life insurance. and accident and health in. ] surance. the report says, can safely be left to existing laws Fidelity and surety companies should be required tC file bond with the state for the proteC. ton of their policy. holders. Employ. CTS, il is recommended. should be per rnitted to pay their compensation tc employees through stock liability com. panies, or mutual associations. or else to furnish satisfactory evidence of ii nancial ability to pay such com pensa. ton direct to employees. The reporr concludes with a summary of the situa ton in the world of frate rnal insurance and a statement of the qualification, needed for the successful administra ton of the department

Facts Concerning
 Arizona Affairs

WASHINGTON Jan lS.-There are now 47 ,S27 homes in Arizona accord ing to a report issued by the Census bureau, while ten years ago the number was 29e S75 compared with l3, 495 homes 1890. Eighteen per cent of the Arizona homes are farm homes. compared with p per cent in 1900 and I7 per cent in 1860 The number of homes in this state free Of incumberance at the present time is Is.g46 while 3.2l7 are encumbered and l3, ,s0S are rented.
 Thirty-six per cent, or $500 of the farmers of Arizona, employ hired help, and their annual expenditure for this item is approximately S2. .505. 900, ac- cording to a report recently issued by the Bureau of Census Ten years ago the yearly expenditure for labor by farmers of this amounted to Sl ,253. 900, and the increase within a decade has been IF per cent. Eighty-two per cent of the amount paid labor by Ari- zona farmers is cash.
 For continental United States the yearly labor expenditure is more tha n sG5i ,000, 900 and 46 per cent of the farmers hire labor. There are nearly , GOO, 900 farmers in the country that ,mploy hired hands.
 Many new barns are are heinz built n the rural districts of Arizona.
 Building material dealers in all sec tions of the state report an unpreced- ented demand for barn lumber and red paint. Next tn the home the barn is the most important building on the farm, and wherever red barns exist there frugality and prosperity abides supreme.
 The rapid construction of new barnes in Arizona is lifting the farming industry of this state into higher gone of utility and is establishing a new era in our in dustrial progress. No comm . aty can proceed far into its agriculture econo my until its stock are we'll sheltered and its crops are properly housed.

LAUDS THE BANTAM SOLDIER
British Medical Journal Says the Little Fellows Are Good for Trench
 Wcrk.

Londoa-That little men have many advantages in war time over their bigger brothers is an argument ad yanced in the British Medical Journal
 After expressing the view that 3O,000 have been lost to the army in the last few weeks owing to the present high standard. the journal says:
 Not little is to be said in favor of short infantry. Short men occupy less room iu transport They find cover more easily and offer a smaller mark 10 bullets and shrapnel. They are better sheltered fin trenches and require to dig less deep trenches to protect themselves
 Tt takes less khaki to clothe then and less leather to boot them. The army blanket covers them more amply and they need much less food than tall. thin men to keep up their body heat and maintain their marching ens ergy.
 Those who stand the rigors of cold climates are not always big men and the sailor, like the wind-swept tree on the coast. may be a short man. Warmth and easy conditions Of life rather tend to the development of tall men.
 "The cavalry and arullerymen re. quire 10 be big and powerful, but as 10 those who burrow in the trenches, how can il matter whether they are four feet nine or five feet six? We are not out for show and a parade, but to win a war Of sieges and attrition.'
