REPUBLICAN flibusters in the Sen
ate won a great victory when they
prevented the enactment of $3,000,-
600 900 of appropriations in the last
days of the Sixty-ffty Congress. They

soldiers and sailors for whom the Ad-
ministration was attempting to pro-
vide homes on reclaimed land. How

WHAT manner of Americans are
those who, for partisan purpose, are
belittling the President and fighting
the League of Nations? Down in their
hearts they must convict themselves
as untrue to the ideals which good
people cherish for the civilization and
betterment of mankind. No man, not
gangrened with p%artisanship, ques-
tons the integrity, the intelligence OF
the unselfsh purpose of President
Wilson. He is striving to 10 adjust

can boys who made the supreme
sacrifice shall not have done SO in
vain.

The press dispatches from Jefferson
City tell us that the bone dry bill en-
dorsed by the Anti Saloon League
was up in the senate, but r~e-referred
to committee. The committee sent
it out without recommendation. 1t is
probable that the bill will be redrawn
and some of the more drastic features
removed. The measure carries the
search and seizure clause. I am
waiting to see whether the Repre-
sentative from Iron country will give
his appreciation to this home-spying

CORPORATION CONTROL

No greater misfortune could beiall the city Of Memphis
than for the public utilities, that hold their franchises by grant
of the people of Memphis, and are supposed to be operated to
some extent for the benefit Of the people Of Memphis, to be made
independent OF the wishes and the rights Of the people of Mem
phis.
That is exactly what is proposed in the bill giving the
utilities commission exclusive authority to determine what is
adequate service, what is a reasonable rate, what increase in fare
to receive.
The advocates Of the measure are silent, but they are busy.
For the present they are endcavoring to lead the people Of
Memphis to believe that the city manager bill is iniquitous with
out the referendum, but they are cndeavoring to take away from
the city government, to say nothing OF the people, the right to
exercise any authority over the corporations, and confer it upon
a picked board Of three in Nashville.
Every corporation in every city in the state is behind the
bill to take the rate and service fixing authority to Nashville.
The people must either surrender to the corporations or they
must offset this pernicious measure by passing the amendment
to the city charter of Memphis, Or they must see to it that the
people own and operate the utilities for their protection,

To The News Scimitar:
| noticed an article IN your column
headed Public Discussion" on the
price Of cotton, signed J. X. Varda-
man. II you will give me space Twill
reply. Mr.. Vardaman's letter is moth
ing but vituperation, without a word
OF proof Of his assertions. Vardaman
says that he is receiving letters daily
asking him the cause of the falling
price of cotton and what about the fu-
ture price.
Mr., Vardaman Is a defeated United
states senator from Mississippi. The
whole world ~repudiated him. except the
central powers. Thus the cause OF his
letter In The News scimitar. Mr..
member what occurred early in Sep
TENDER last. Yes, w all remember tina
we had a long, severe drought and cot
ton opened extremely early, hence the
major portion of the cotton crop was
gathered and rushed on the market.
Then the price began to drop, Under
such conditions the cotton producer
wanted stabilized cotton prices, Just
the same way the government stabil-
lied the price OF wheat OF the North
and West. The government did not
set any maximum price on wheat, but
did guarantee a minimum price.
Mr. Vardaman says when President

1t was his purpose to stabilize the price
OF cotton, because Of that statement
the cotton market broke. He further
says, "A number Of us called a confer

II a~ntagonistic senators) and invited
the head of the war trade board, Ber-
nard Baruch."
Mr.. Nardaman gives quite a detailed
statement Of what he had to say In
conference, but did not tell us what
his collea CUES had to say, only he
would have us believe that he made n
convert out of Baruch, He CVarda-
mani stated that Mr.. Baruch said thu
North demanded cheaper shirts and
that we had promised our allies in Eu-
rope cheaper cotton, hence the stabili-
zation of prices. as Vardaman has il.
in order to lower prices.
Now, Mr., Cotton Producer, did the
Sterilization of wheat prices lower the
price of wheat produced IN the United
States? No, no; 1t gave an Impetus
n the wheat producer knew what
the minimum price would be. Mr..
Nardaman tells us that sterilization

will tell you, Mr., Nardaman. why
cotton is below the cost of produc-

was overcrowded with cotton and the

Ihe cotton producers asked the admin

Ihen the spectators, gamblers and

them to intercede for no stabilized
