Distinction Noted Between
Surplus of Cotton and That
Of Cotton as Surplus Crop

It was marketed under the stress OF
necessity. A surplus Of cotton was
then a standing menace and caused
more or less of the crop to be sold
below the cost of production. But
since cotton has become a surplus crop
and necessity removed as q factor III
it's liquidation, a surpluG of cotton has
ceased to be a menache While a
surplus may yet modify prices to
some extent, according to its size,
the record makes it clear that, regard
less of what that size may be, it will
rever prevent cotton, as long as it Is
q surplus crop, from bringing good
profit above the cost of production.
A failure to recognize this new
economic position of cotton has been
the cause of many serious errors and
many serious losses in recent years.
We are confident since the war began
shat this has been of all others the
most prolific source of losses in the
future market. A very great part,
I crhaps the greater part, Of the
trade assumed that the interruption
of exports would mean a great sur
Plus which would have a disastrous
effect on prices and predicated their
ventures into the market on this basis.

er Gronen and City Controller
Shoemaker resulted Tuesday
morning in the city council re-
questing City Attorney Har . on to
act as mediator and straighten
out an alleged difference in
methods of handling the city's
bookkeeping.
Gronen brought N. l.. Nicely, q
state accountant, before the
council, who charged that Shoe
maker was not keeping the city
accounts in conformity with state
auditing regulations.
Shoemaker replied that he was
keeping his books in the manner
adopted two or three years ago
by his office, and approved at
that time as the best system in
the state. He declared that he
had never received any instruc-
lions from the state auditors Of
flee regarding any proposed
changes in the methods of NUM-
cipaf accounting.
Nicely charged that Shoemak-
er's accounts, altho arriving at
the same final conclusions re-
garding the city's finances, were
handled i'm a manner not in con-
formity with the statewide system
asked by the Olympia auditor. He
alleged that there were discrep-
ancies involving $155,00O in the
city accounts.
These discrepancies resulted
from different method of &C
counts, and Shoemaker's records
balance dollar for dollar with the
accounts of the state, altho the
state auditing system makes con-
siderably more work and results
in an annual report nearly one
third larger than tie controllers.
