Determination OF the aggregate
value of the property of the carrier
for rate making purposes is left to
the interstate commerce commission
with the provision that it shall give
to the property investment account
of the carriers only that considera-
ton which it is entitled to under the
law in establishing values for rate
making purposes. When any carrier
receives for any year a net railway
operating income of excess of six
percent of the value of its property
one half of such excess goes to the
carriers reserve fund while the rest
goes to the federal railroad contin-
gent fund which is to be used by the
commission In making loans to rail-
roads or for the purchase of trans
portation equipment or facilities and
leasing the same to carriers.
The bill greatly widens the COM

Supervision over the issuance of

cotton crop as they have this sea-
son." continued Mr.. Jordan. "Never
before in the history of cotton pro-
duction in this country has the short
age of labor been so acute, or the
cost of farm supplies and implements
of every character been so high. Gov
ernmental statistics on raw cotton in
this country and in Europe show that
present supplies of spinable cotton,
comparatively, are less than ever be
fore in the history of cotton.
''At the same time, American and
foreign mills are running on full
time, with their outputs contracted
for months ahead at profits which
would make old Falstaff green with
envy. This is the situation as shown
by the facts in the field of produc-
ton, supplies of raw cotton and man
ufacture."
Asked about the speculation on
cotton exchanges, Mr.. Jordan made
the following statement :
"The first week in June showed
some sunshine to warm up and invig-
crate the belated young crop for a
Americus times-recorder., 1920-06-15

start. Immediately the bears made
a charge, and down goes the price of
contracts. This procedure will
doubtless continue as the season ad-
vances until the future contract falls
far below the actual cost of the real
fibre. The bears sell something they
haven't got and want a contract
which does not force them to dellv-
or. We have funny situation.
"In the contract market the seller
has all the advantage. 1t seems TO
me that the buyer of future con-
tract ought to have equal rights with
the speculative seller of the contract.
am absolutely convinced that the
farmer when offering his cotton
should be on an equal footing with
the buyer. | may be wrong about
future contracts, and maybe when
the sellers sell something they haven't
got, they ought to have the privilege
of delivering anything they can get,
mixed and unmixed. But | am strong
for that old principle of Equal
rights to all and special privileges TO
none"
Anyway, the holders of spot cot
ton should not permit the sentimental
influences on prices in the exchanges
to affect the real values Ct their pres
ent holdings, or what they may pro
duce in 1920. If it cost SO cents to
produce a pound of middllng uplanc
cotton in 1919, the present price OF
such grades show but little or nc
profit to the growers, while October
contracts are being quoted severa
cents under the cost of production
and going down every day. 1t is time
to enroll all cotton growers IN the
American Cotton Association and get
ready for the fight"

EDUCATIONAL PLANK
FOR G. 0. P. URGED
Prominent Educators Present Peti-
ton to Chairman Hays, Ask
ing for Certain Reforms.

NEW YORK. April 5-A petition
urging the adoption of an educational
plank in the national platform of the
republican party has been presented
to VIII II. Hays, chairman OF the re-
publican national committee. by Jud-
son F. Wright. president of the New
York Teachers Associations: William
I. Mccoy. chairman of the Illinois
schools committee. and Olive NJ Jones,
president of the New York Principals
Association.
Teachers are mot attempting to die
tate" Mr.. Mccoy said, but with the
likelihood of woman suffrage becom-
ing a law. thus giving the vote to
50 per cent of the 100000 teachers in
American, they feel that the most i'm
portant service they can give will be
to see that their support goes to the
party that most definitely pledges it
self TO remove educational limitations
from the children of the country.
Teachers have never been in politics,
but they are alive tothe situation as
they never have been before and are
going to the polls next November with
that situation uppermost i'll their

There is a great and growing de-
terioration in public education.
caused by tremendous loss of
trained teachers" and a great low
ering in the standards of quality of
incoming teachers. the petition
stated.
THE basis of the cause of these
conditions. which threaten the eff
ficiency of education is the deficiency
in educational funds. The failure
to pay teachers adequate wages is
a national sin, long confessed, but
unatoned for.
1T will take years to man the
schools. even as they were in 1914.
We cannt afford to wait for the pub
lie to become sufficiently alarmed to
act"
The average yearly salary of the
teachers in 1919 was 1894, the petit
tion said, and there had been only
a 10 per cent increase during that
year. More than 10000 rural schools
are without teachers, it continued,
and added:
"The desertion of farms is largely
due to removal of farmers to cities,
where they can get decent schooling
for their children. lliteracy, which
disqualified 100000 drafted men for
effective service in the great war,
is on the increase"

Out Of all the confusion over

two facts seem now clearly estab-

First, the Jugo-Slavs need that
seaport a great deal worse than
Italy does.
Second, as Premier Clemenceau
stated the other day, Italy pro
missed Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs
but went back on her promise.
That promise is a matter of rec
