Price of Potash
Tax Will Be Placed on Cotton
Growers

that the increased price will undoubt-

that the cost will como out Of the

Ae explained by those who have
,>d,t track Of cotton legislation for
many years. this plan Of placing the
cost Of potash at high figure is but
another indirect method OF placing a
tax on raw cotton. The plan is both
unjust and unfair to the cotton grow

statements OF the director of the geo

that the Western producers had pro
duced potash at Il cost OF Sl2O q toa

able to produce il for less in the fn-
turc. He stated that during the va
they had sold their products as high
as $500 n ton and their profits had
been sufficient TO cover their total III
vcs1mcnt and that . price Of 500 a
ten would simply enrich them at the
cxpeuse OF the cotton farmers OF the
South He stated that it mat"rcd not
whether II price was fixed by IL

the farmer exceeded 500 ton Il
would be a prohibitive price and the
farmers could not use it.
