acreage is Improbable; the boil wee
vii and scarcity of labor are serious
handicaps. The only solution here is
an increased yield per acre. The
average cotton yield in the South, to
say the least, is discreditable; more
cotton is wasted annually in America
than it has been possible to raise in
Africa outside of Egypt.
Would Be Calamity.
"Furthcr restriction of cotton
acreage in America would be nothing
short of calamity. There now is and
always will be demand for all the
cotton that can be raised anywhere.
There is no need to restrict the sup
ply, but rather it should be increased.
"Of course, the first necessity is to
assure the planter reasonably re-
munerativc price. Despite the great
increase in the cost Of cotton today,
it is still one of the cheapest prod
ucts and has not increased proportion
to other commodities"
Mr.. Wannamakcr prefaced his adj
dress with the declaration that cotton
has been a curse to the Southern
States. eff it had not been for the

THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING

1t is the high cost of loafing rather
than the high cost of living that
troubles America today, IN the opinion
expressed in a recent issue of the
"Corn Exchange" the monthly maga-
zine Of the Corn Exchange National
Board of Philadelphia. The paper
says that the country is producing
less per hour, per man, than before
war although the rate of consumption
is greater. This being true, prices
continue to advance and further ad-
vances may be expected until an eco
nomic balance is effected between pro-
duction and consumption.
The solution Of the problem as in
dicated by President Wilson, Governor
Harding, Of the Federal Reserve
Reserve Board, and others, is to in
crease production and reduce cxpen-
ditures.
Investigation by large manufac-
turing plant of Philadelphia, says
Corn Exchange" recently showed
that under identical circumstances
the production per man per hour was
one half before the war although
| wages have been doubled. Another
| investigation which covered several
states and which was reported in the
same paper showed that while the
| average wage per man increased 240
| per cent the production per man, per
hour. had decreased 62 per cent.
"The man who loafs on the job"
says the paper above named, "no mat
ter what division of society he be-
longs to deliberately elects to surren-
der his claim to be All honest man,
for he is pretending to 90 something
that he knows he is nos doing. This
lowering Of the moral standard of the
people of the nation " menaces
the stability of the staSe."
The paDer concludes; T.et us be
honest with ourselves by recognizing
the high duty of working at maximum
speed at whatever task circumstances
bring to us. The loafer is father of
the liar. and the liar is father of the
traitor to al THAT we hold dear in
America. 1t is the worker who has
always won. the shirkcr who has al
ways lost. Let us stop talking about
the high cost of living. Let us put
a stop to the high cost of loafing."

taxing motor trucks heavily, stated
that the fathers Of the bill took the
position that one eigh-ton motor truck
did more harm to roads than two
four-ton trucks, and the idea back Of
the bill is to encourage the use Of
lighter vehicles. The idea of send7
ing copies Of the bill to the members
of the General Assembly is that they
ma yhave plenty of time prior to the
meeting of the Legislature to digest
the contents of the new highway plan.

new HIGHWAY BILL IS BEING
SENT TO EVERY LEGISLATOR
Would Create New Maintena' 's-
tenn for State-Built High ,ys.-
Provides Increased Tax o. Motor
Vehicles, With Heavy trucks
Taxed Heavily.

A proposed new State highway bill
providing for the maintenance of a
state highway system, has been pre-
pared with the approval fthe State
Highway Commission, and copies of it
arc this week being sent from Cover
nor Cooper'S office to all members Of
tie general assembly, who will be
given an opportunity of voting on
it at the 1920 session of the General
Assembly, which convenes in Janu-
AIRY.
The main feature of the new bill
rs that it proposes an increase tax on
automobiles. 1t would provide a tax
Of fifty cents per horse power on au-
tomobiles, and also heavier tax on
motor trucks, increasing with the ton
mage of the trucks. The bill would
tax a one-ton truck SIP, and an eight
ton $3.50, with the license on trucks
of intermediate tonnage ranging be-
tween these two figures. The purpose
of the bill, state members of the
Highway Commission is to discourage
the use of heavier motor trucks which
are destructive on roads. 1t is stated
eChat the Legislature will also probably
'oe asked to provide for small tax
levy in the counties for the mainten-
ance of the state highway system.
The new bill, it is stated by men,
bers Of the Highway Commission will
