Bankers Meet With Congressman
in Attempt to Secure Uni
form Prices on Fleecy
Staple This Year.
NO UNEASINESS IN
FINANCIAL PULSE
Hold Session at Washington; Dis
trict Meeting at Oklahoma
City; Aim is to Insure
Profit to Growers.

r, r. Chandler returned this morn
ing from Oklahoma City where he
has been member of the Okla
home Bankers delegation to meet
with national congressman in an at
tempt to secure the stabilization of
cotton prices and bring about gov
ernment regulation of the sale OF
the crop this year. Congressman
Scott Ferris, Dick Il. Morgan and
]. NJ, Aydelotte, chairman of the
state council of defense met with
bankers of the state to plan for the
wedding out Of possible speculation
and graft in the cotton market.
The note of uneasiness and fear
which has been attached to the at
titude OF Oklahoma bankers in re
gard to the cotton situation is q
false one, Mr. Chandler declared this
morning. Bankers have not lost
faith in the cotton production this
year but are working only to stamp
out future market and exchange
grafters is the keynote emphasized
according to Mr. Chandler. 1t is
the aim of the bankers to fix all
prices on a sound foundation based
on the cost of production plus a
reasonable profit to growers.
All cotton producing states have
been represented at a Washington
meeting held recently and the need
for relief in marketing cotton has
been impressed upon senators who
have entered heartily upon the move
ment. Resolutions setting forth the
principal aims of the bankers have
been passed and national representa-
tives have enlisted their support
The process is national one, insti-
gated by the cotton growing states
Delegates are subject to further call
to conferences at the discretion OF
the chairman.
A surplus of several thousand bales
from last years cotton crop has been
left over due to the poor standard
of staple that does not reach gov
ernment contract requirements it was
pointed out in the recent meeting.
After home needs are satisfied s.,
100000 bales will be left over in the
south this year unless protective
steps are taken, it is estimated. The
expectation of cotton will probably
be light this year due to the heavy
shipment of troops.
Another meeting of the state bank
ers who are interested in the move
ment has been scheduled for Okla
homa City Monday.

Accordingto announcement made

ton headed by L. G. Hutson who

pc ople of Chickasha and Grady coun'
ty will have the opportunity to get

ehampioned every war movement the
chef executive had initiated
Senator Owen is not interested in
politics, but is 100 per cent American
anG great war worker. That his
reasons for being so may be made
generally known, the Oklahoma
State Council of Defense arranged
with him to speak in a number of the
larger cities of the state. He goes
into detail of Americas participation
in the war, in a manner that has not
been given the public through the
ordinary channels.
Senator Owen in his policy OF
standing squarely behind the presi-
dent in this crisis, fathered the child
labor law, which though declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court

senate. He has spoken to immense
crowds over the state.

stated that the maximum charge in
Oklahoma City is 22h cents.
Commission Fixes Price.
Mr. Steinberger, of the Gorton com.
pany pointed out that the price nam
ed in the franchise, so cents per
thousand, is the maximum price and
that the actual rate is not fixed.
"That is the most we could charge
said Mr. Steinberger. 1T does not
mean that we will charge that
amount. ! also want to call your
attention to the fact that the Okla
homa city people are asking the
corporation commission for a raise in
llice. The price is fixed by the
Z. Iporation commission. Our price
VIII be SO fixed"
Members Of council called attention
to telephone conversation held by
city officials here with city officers
at El Reno, in which talk it was
learned that the rate there is SO
cents and that raise is to be asked.
CITY Budget Approved.
The city budget, making an esti-
mate of expenses for the ensuing
year. was approved by council. The
document shows that the city has
asked for $1O2,O1373 expense money
for the year. This amount is divid-
ed among the various departments
and the entire budget will be passed
upon by the excise board, which
goes into session at the court house
Saturday.
