THE PRICE OF COTTON.

There has been great deal said
through the press concerning the
price OF cotton. the principal money
crop OF the South, but up to this time
have seen no practical suggestion
that promises the producer the pro-
ducts OF his labor or any assurance OF
an increase in value.
The trouble with our cotton price is
not the cheapness OF the commodity,
but the waste and leakage between
the producer and the consumer. and
10 overcome this we must change our
methods OF preparing cotton and its
products for the market. The waste
on one bale OF cotton from the time
II leaves the farmer till II reaches the
spinner is as follows: Your cotton
is sold on a basis OF per cent tare,
or 2 per cent more than actual tare;
this equals ten pounds. The average
loss IN weight on one bale Of cotton
from the time II leaves the farmer
TIL the spinner gets II Is fifteen
pounds per bale. A total Of twenty
FIVE poupnds per bale at 1Oc per pound
equals $3.50 per bale. The expense
OF handling a bale OF cotton from the
gin TO the compress is SOC per bale.
The COMPRISING and reloading each
bale OF cotton is SIC, or a total OF
1852 per bale. or 100000 per pound.
that is wasted and nobody gets any
benefit from IT,
Now on the cottonseed end OF the
business I want you to consider the
following: The average price that the
producer has received per ton for his
cottonseed for the season Of 1914-l5
all over the cotton belt OF the United
States is $3.50 per ton. Now the av-
erage value OF cottonseed products for
the season OF 1914-15 are as follows;

lars says that November "a. 1914. Mr.
Williams called for a special report Of
all loans made by the bank, either di-
rectly or indirectly. to the secretaries
ury and to controllers of the currency
and national bank examiners. within
ten years.
The bank says that. although said de-
mand was wholly unauthorized by law.
yet, because of its character and the in
tmation it conveyed" the information
was communicated to Controller Williams.
AS soon as the controller received the re-
supplementary report showing all such
loans by the bank since its organization in
1886. After this report was furnished, the
controller, the bank says. made another
call for report of all loans to employees
of the controllers Office, and this was
made January S, 1915.
According to the bank, Controller
Williams. in an official communication
dated December %. 1914. commenting
on one OF the reports demanded. made
what the bank calls a "gratuitous
statement rejecting not only upon the
plaintiff bank but upon the honor of
gentlemen who had been his prede-
cessors In the high Office of assistant
secretary of the Treasury. This gra-
tu1tous statement was as follows:
Controllers Comments.
From your letter of December Q. 1t
is noted that the money loaned by the
Riggs National Bank to the assistant
secretaries OF the Treasury during the
past ten years was apparently limited
to those assistant secretaries who were
or had been in charge of the fiscal
bureaus. embracing the bureau having
supervision over national banks. The
other assistant secretaries. from your
statement. do not appear to have been
recipients of your favors
In its bill of particulars the bank
says that mot because required to do
SO. but in defense of its own integrity
and the honor of these former high
government officials it wrote d letter
i'll which it said that out of nine former
assistant secretaries named in the re-
port the loans to five were made at
times when they had no official con-
nection with the United States govern
nlent.
According to what is said here the
bank will point out i'll answer to any
effort of counsel for Secretary McAdoo
and Controller Williams to show that
the loans to Treasury officers were inn
proper, that as a banking and national
institution the Riggs National Bank
numbered among its depositors the
Presidents OF the United States from
Martin Van Buren to William H. Taft,
and that it was patronized generally
by public men stationed in Washing
ton, who naturally applied to the insti-
money.
