with regard to the state tax com

With regard to the state. tax COM
mission, we may as we'll recognize that
it is the only hone Of getting equaliza-
ton of taxes, and until we secure
equalization there is no justice in tax
alton. OF course the commission can
make mistakes and Of course it does
make mistakes; but these mistakes
will be corrected as rapidly as possi-
bic. The main point, the really impor-
tant point is to disclose all rank in
equalities. There is no hope of cor
recting a wrong until after that wrong
has been duly located.

After all, what is the strike except
a move to improve the condition of the
striker, and what is the opposition to
the strike except the feeling on the
part of the employer that all adyant-
age obtained by the striker must be at
his expense? How can the striker get
more unless the employer gets less?
And how can there be an end Of such

- Federal amendments to the cotton
warehouse act, writes Washington
correspondent, are soon to claim the
attention Of congress, as should be
done, and this without delay. To put
the business Of cotton warehousing on
a stable basis and to provide receipts
for cotton that will be negotiable at
any bank has long been the aim of
those persons directly interested In
cotton, and under the amended cotton
warehouse act this is likely to be>rea-
lizcd. This is the opinion of men in
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture, who are
charged with the duty Of issuing
federal warehouse licenses. The ware
house act has just been amended so as
to permit the acceptance Of personal
nit the issuance of negotiable receipts,
when requested by dcpositors of cotton
in the warehouse, without stating the
grade of the cotton. The purpose of
the warehouse act lS u CIcdlc a WaIc-
house receipt of urquestioned value,
and one which will be acceptable to all
bankers as security for obtaining
loans, regardless of the location Of
the warehouse. In this way ware
housemen will furnish a receipt to
their customers. which will be of the
utmost value to them as negotiable
papers, and enable them to borrow
close to the actual value Of their stored
goods at cheaper interest rates. Thus
they market their cotton slowly. and
in conformity with the needs of"the
manufacturer. The full description of
the cotton stored requested to be stated
on the face of the receipt will enable
the owner to know the value of his
cotton and at the same time enable
him to market it intelligently. The
proper development of the warehouse
will make possible the practice of
marketing the cotton crop through
the warehouse and thus avoid the
enormous losses resulting from
weather damage.

Cotton Farmer Should
 Stand Firm In Crisis

MAR SIGHTED business men in the U south are now advising farmers to hold their cotton and to plant a smaller acreage this year.
 It is timely advice and if generally followed will mean much for the fu- ture prosperity of this section of the country. Every farmer knows that it cost an average of not less than |30 cents a pound to produce last sea- sons crop and it is unthinkable that those with cotton on their hands will lget panicky and dispose of their hold ings at the present artificially low prices.
 Like every other industry the cot ton mills for the most part have been pursuing a waiting policy and their temporary retirement from the mar ket has tended to play into the hands of the bear raiders who have been driving cotton prices down at such a furious rate.
 The world, however, needs every bale that was produced last season, and is willing to pay an equitable price for it. The reduction of ocean freight rates to Liverpool had an im- mediate electric effect on cotton prices, causing an advance indicating what is sure to come as the world S markets are fairly opened to the south's staple. The south has the re- sources, as shown by it's banking sit uation, to hold its cotton and it is the wise business policy to wait for a price which will be a fair recom- pense for the time and labor involved in the crops production. As to the present seasons crop any farmer would rather produce a small lhigh-priced crop than large low priced crop. It is this factor which makes it's appeal in the movement now under way to bring about very decided reduction in acreage this sea- son.
 The cotton farmer has the situa-
 tion in his hands if he will stand firm.

Confectioners Buying
 Alabama Peanuts

ID EANUTS grown in Alabama are 0 of a superior quality and are now in brisk demand by the confec- tionary trade.
 The marketing division of the ex- tension service has just completed ar engagements for the shipment of seven hundred and eighty tons, or thirty nine carloads, of high grade Spanish peanuts, the total value being sS6,000.
 The product is assembled under the supervision of county agents. The peanuts are being shipped chiefly from Wilcox, Hale, Dallas, Autauga, Lowndes, Crenshaw, Coffee. Dale, Houston, Barbour and Bullock coun- ties. The price, f. o. b. at the loading station, is $112.50 per ton for January and $117.5O for March shipments.
 The director of the extension serv- ice says that some of the Alabama peanuts are being bought by the deal. ers who agree to share the advanced price with the producers. Most o1 them, however, are to be shipped by

WHERE POPPIEs GROW

The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Many suggestions have been made for perpetuating in some fashion the memory of those who died in the war service of their country. Memorial halls. memorial highways, memorial hospitals, have found favor in various sections. Memorial avenues, bordercd hv trees. each bearing dead patriots nameplate. have been approved by number of municipalities, and quite recently by New York state author- ities. The treebordered avenue IS not a recent suggestion, however. Austra- lia began carrying out the same plan in 1917. and in time it is expected that a memorial highway will cross the en- tire island-from coast to coast-so many are the loyal dead.
 One of the most original and touch ing of these suggestions comes from the city of St. Thomas, in Ontarlo' which proposes to keep alive the mem orv of the Canadians who died over seas by planting fields of poppies rais- ed from seed sent from Flanders to the St. Thomas Horticultural society. These poppy fields are to be held as sacred trust and cared for reVerensly. They will serve as living illustration of that most famous of the shorter poems of the war, 'In Flanders Fields, the inspiration of Canadian who died for the cause, Lieut.. Col. John McCrea Tn Flanders fields the poppies grow

THE SILK HAT

From the New York World.
 An uptown dealer in mems headgear says a new lease of life is coming to the silk hat. For almost double dec- ade the silk hat has been dying an unregretted death in New York. On Easter Saturday. 1898, one local firm sold 62S "toppers." On certain pleas ant day in 1908 but six of the tall head pieces were seen in long stroll up Fifth avenue. In the year 1918 the same concern which made the 1898 rec ord just cited sold exactly nine hats of the perishing pattern. Expert mak- CTS were fast quitting the trade. But now there are internatio functions in America, and either the old hat must be renovated or a new one must be- bought. It is cheering to read that SIP now. will probably be the price of the former sS brand.
 Trousers celebrated their centenary in 1902. The silk hat today is in it's early nineties. It has been the mark of the gentleman. the climber, the dandy, the politician, the Sunday churchgoer, the undertaken, the negro minstrel, the einancier, the gambler, the book agent, the professor. And 1t has been worn by thousands of meek men who thought 1t was the thing to wear It is dying not of old age but of a final appreciation of it's ugliness and discomfortableness. If it be trea- son to wish a short term to it's freshen- ceremonial occasions make the most o1 l the offense!
