Cotton Market Paramount

Cotton is headed for fifty cents,
basis middling. The combined fight
OF the spinners and profiteers OF the
world is concentrated in an effort 10
beat the price down. The American
Cotton Association with one million
members. with warehouses under the
control OF the people OF the South
in every county or parish in the cot
ton belt will reyolutionize the mar
keting of cotton. The producer will
claim the right to sell his product
and will refuse longer to be proii-
teered upon by those who have long
reaped where they have never sown
and who have brought upon him
poverty and misery.
Organize the American Cotton
Association; build warehouses; stand
firm; but loyal; and success is GER
tain. The world is bare OF cotton
goods; they need cotton. We need
schools for our children; good roads;
happiness and contentment; some of
the good things OF life. A reasonable
price for our cotton will bring this.
THE world must be clothed and
fed II will require every pound OF
cotton. every bushel Of cur cotton
seed to do this, and still the demand
will not be filled. or the 1,SO0, 900,
600 people in the world, only 1900

partially clothed. and $4,000 are

clothing of the world is made from
cotton. The worlds consumption OF
cotton today is approximately 2S.-
coo, 900 bales, and of this, during the
I last decade the American crop has
averaged about 100000 bales. II
will require to clothe the entire
world around 2S,O00,OOO bales. To
clothe those who now demand cloth
ing IL will require a larger crop than
we have ever produced. The organi-
cation Of the American Cotton Asso-
citation means that we can and will
control the situation.

4 PLEA FOR THE ADOPTION
OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

Representing the voters, and their
families of the respective cities OF
Texas. OF which each OF rs is mayor
we join in this request to the voters
of Texas To give careful considera-
tion to and vote Tor the adoption OK
what is known as Senate Joint Reso-
luton 40. 20. giving the smaller
cities of the state power TO levy sut-
ficient taxes to enable the city gov
arnments to protect the health OF
the citizens and their families by
providing water works system,
which will afford an ample supply OF
pure water and also sewer system.
which will relieve such cities as ours
! OF condition which has always been
and still is a menace to the public
health. All we ask is that the voter
J in the city put the health Of himself
and family ahead OF paltry few
cents taxes and since the farmer
voters will not be effected by the
adoption OF this amendment. except
! indirectly as hereinafter explained.
We appeal to them to vote Tor the
adoption of this proposed amend
ment
To provide our cities with pure
water supply and sewer systems tina;
are adequate. is the only means Of
combating epidemics OF typhoid and
malaria. which rage in our smaller
cities at certain periods Of the year.
which are traceable directly TO lack
OF pure water and inadequate sewer
facilities. The State has provided
niggardly for this class of cities,
and this amendment proposes only
an Increase OF taxes in such cities OF
ten cents ,lOcD for general city pur-
poses. fifteen cents l5cl for streets
and bridges. and twenty-five cents
t25cl for the combined purposes OF
water works. sewers cemeteries. etc
These taxes are cheaper than ply
sicians bills. and they are otherwise
| necessary II our city governments
function at all as these cities are
compelled 10 purchase materials and
supplies in the open market as the
individual or business man must DO.
and the price OF machinery, materi-
ais. lumber and steel have advanced
more than 100 per cent on some OF
these articles. so that what was en-
tirely too meager taxing power be
fore the European war. is inadequate
10 more than supply half suficien;
funds for these cities al the present
time and the adoption OF this amend
ment would put these cities. with
reference to taxation in about the
same position they were before the
war
This proposed amendment would
authorize an increase OF taxes for
the maintenance OF roads, but since
such taxes could not be levied eN-
cept by a vote of the Taxpayers
themselves. IL is thoroughly demo
cratic. ad We appeal to the voters Of
all classes to vote for It's adoption on
November 4th.
