Arg0 Mill Is A
Busy Institution

The Argo mill is about the
busiest institution of it's kind in
the county at the present time.
1t is kept running to its full
capacity with three eight-hour
shifts working every day in the
week. Since making the reduction
on the treatment charges of ore
about 81 X months ago land they
were the first in the state to do so)
the business has ahown steady in
crease. and they will deserve it as
the Argo people were the first to
force the smelter combine to lower
their charges so that the little
miner could have at least a look in
for his labor. It is now up to the
miner to support such institutions
as the Argo in order to hold the
ALL HOG COMBINE down and
give the people a square deal.
It's to your own interest, boys, to
back Manager R. E. Schirmer in
his fight against the combine.

A COTTON CONUNDRUM

A AGcntlcman largely interested in cotton
called at the Journal ollie" during the wcel;
with a copy Of Il New Orleans paper con-
tanning market quotations for sales Of spot
cotton. He pointed out that the quotations
for sales Of spot middIing cotton at the
several markets showed New Orleans ut the
bottom Of tn" list. The quotations showed
were: New Orleans 30 l3. Memphis -. 75
Augusta 20. -. Dallas % % Galveston 20 70
and so on through the list
He wanted to know why the New Or
leans market was the lowest on the list and
called on the Editor to explain the situation.
He was not the first to call attention to the
same matter.
Inability to answer such a simple ques-
ton is indeed humilating, but we must
plead ignorance New Orleans should be the
leading cotton market Of the world and as
such should be able to pay the highest prices
for the staple. Reference to daily quotations
indicates to the contrary. If the public is
wrong as to the facts it should be corrected.
If New Orleans is paying less for cotton than
other points some Of which are located in
the interior then the facts should be adver-
tlSed to those who have cotton to sell. The
country press can serve its constituents byI
keeping tab on sales and commenting on
the actual facts. # New Orleans is, as it
should be, the best cotton market, the
erroneous opinion resulting from quotations
shown IN this case, should be removed, if, !
on the other hand, other markets pay better
prices, the producers should be given the
real facts in order that they may reap better
profits on their shipments.
If our conclusions are erroneous it will do
no harm to correct them for the process of
turning on the light will be appreciated hy
many others who are also in the dark. So
we propose the question, why does New
Orleans pay the lowest price for cotton as
shown by the quotations published daily?"

AND ASSESSMENTS

Hon. L. +. Thomas addressed Joint
meeting Of the police jury and the taxpayers
Tuesday. Mr. Thomas explained the work
ngs of the State Board Of Affairs and dis
cussed clearly and ably the defects of the old
assessment system as well as the merits of
the new system. He cited many instances
in proof Of the contention that assessments
as now levied are unfair and unequal. In
fact his argument was conclusive as to the
almost criminal inequality of taxation as
now existing. He pointed out the method
by which reforms were to be effected
and pledged the board to the proposition
that assessors would be forced to make as
Sessments fair and equal. On the whole
h'S address was well received and influenced
the sympathy of those present for the aims
Of the board.
Madison has been skeptical on this
subject and Mr.. Thomas address has to a
large extent removed doubt as to the wis

taken by the government in vetoing the
efforts of American socialists towards peace
The order declaring that socialists from this
country will not be granted passports to the
Stockholm Convention and the warning that
those who DO attend will be subject to
criminal prosecution fits the situation
exactly. The disorders, due to the activity
of socialists, in all the countries at war, are
proof that this order should be suppressed
