HOLD COTTON FOR SO CENTS
SAYS WANNAMAkER

Columbia, March 81. Skotto"e
Wannanaker, president Of the Amerl-
can Cotton association, today issued
statement urging members of the
American Cotton association to hold
their cotton for minimum price of
so cents, at least until the annual
convention of the association in
! Montgomery, Ala, April 1916, when
minimum price will be selected by
the full convention. The conven-
ton, he said, would probably name an
even higher figure.
Experts after thorough investiga-
ton of the supply and demand both
in America and abroad" said MIR.
Wannamaker, 'have laid full infor-
nation before the officials of the
American Cotton association upon
which they might base recommenda-
ton for cotton acreage for the COM
ing crop and also for, minimum
price for cotton now on hand.
>"This report clearly shows that the
world is preparing to 60 to work and
will become intensely busy and there
will be a crying demand for all raw
material following the late world
war which destroyed and also con-
sumed an unthinkable amount OF
every known product. Following five
consecutive short crops there is an in
evitable certainty of famine IN the
raw cotton market. This investlga-
ton shows that cotton based on the
manufactured product is worth one
hundred per cent in excess OF the
highest price paid. The surplus be-
ing carried is entirely and fagrantly
incorrect and composed largely OF
rotten and unspinable cotton.
"There was only $500 bales Of
certified cotton on the New York
exchange at the close Of business on
March 3rd, and fifty thousand bales
of cotton ON long contracts to be
filed for March; over million bales
for May and June. May cotton five
to six hundred points under spot cot
ton in the South; July cotton is low
err: October cotton below the cost OF
production.
"Cnder these conditions the man
ufacturers who realize the absolute
certainty Of famine Of raw cot
ton are buying cotton in New York
and will demand the actual cotton.
The spectators appreciating the fact
that they can buy cotton far below
spot cotton, the price Of spot cotton
being far below fair price based
upon supply and demand, are buying
in New York. The man selling cot
ton even at prices far above present
prices under these conditions would
walk through Hades with keg OF
dynamite.
"Information plainly shows COM
bination of manipulators operating in
a desperate effort to beat raw cot
ton prices down. Based upon infor-
nation at hand, members of the as
sociation are assured of fifty cents
per pound basis middling is dirt cheap
for cotton based upon supply and de-
mand and the price of the manfactur-
ed product, they are urged to be
guided by this price until the meet
ing of the convention, April 1916,
inclusive, at which time a minimum

GREED OF PROFITEERS
OUR GREATEST MENACE

Senator Capper of Kansas recently
made speech in the senate chamber
and the following are some of his
best remarks:
Mr.. President, the department OF
Justice is to be highly commended for
it's efforts to stamp out Bolshevlsm.
It took the government secret ser
vice Just few weeks to round up and
put in prison 4,500 Reds. And when
it come to profteers, the Reds are IN
pitiful minority. I am glad to see
it is now proposed to have the secret
service raid the profteers, the most
potent promoters Of anarchy we have.
If this raid is prosecuted with vlgor
and backed up by the Imprisonment
of profit extortioners it will have a
most wholesome and salutary result.
We deport the Reds, and heart
lily approve the governments efforts
in that direction; but our chle1
trouble makers, the price gougers'
we still let run wild. If we were to
uut half as many profteers in jail 1t
seems to me we should be in far less
danger of contracting the red flu OF
Bolsherism. Our greatest present
menace is anarchistic greed here at
home. For three years we have per-
mitted it to do it's worst to the de-
voted people who are the backbone OF
the nation, and who must be its ever
present help in time Of trouble IN
that time we have made $4,000 brand
new millionaires. We now must stop
this thing soon or be prepared to take
the consequences, not knowing Jus'
what those consequences may be.
We seem to be barterin@ not only
our own peace Of mind but all our llhe
prospects for becterlng our conditions
or serving mankind for this mlser-
able mess of pottage. And probably
no other nation ever had so un-
paralleled an opportunity. am con-
stantly surprised that so little account
is taken of the wrath that is stirring
among the people at this continuous.
and widespread plundering. Washing
ton must soon show it has the nerve
to deal with these wreckers or must
itself reckon with the people. Our
government must prove to them its
adequacy to govern, must prove
worthy of it's stewardship. or lose
their confidence and respect. MIR.
President, I would not have you un-
derstand that I have no faith in the
wisdom and intelligence Of the peo-
pie. 1t is just because l have this
trust in them that I say the time has
come for Washington to prove its
ability to deal with this destructive
evil.

price will be recommended based up
on information in possession of the
American Cotton association. They
are also urged in the strongest terms
not to increase the cotton acreage but
to plant largely food products. A
large cotton acreage simply means
that the manipulation will be furnished
with the power they have exercised
for the last sixty years of absolutely
controlling the price of cotton"

They Are Founded Upon the Prin-

Capitalization Surrendered.

borne, president of the Louisiana
Bankers Association, entered vigor-
Gus protest against the enNoachment
of the Federal government upon the
rights Of States in his annual report
submitted at the opening session or
the convention here. E. Il. Merrick,
chairman Of the legislative committee
Of the association, also touched upon
the same subject, declaring that in
this country during the war great
autocracy was built up, and that the
est-governen country In the world is
the one which Is governed the least.
The convention was called to order
at 10 a. m by President Claiborne.
Rev A. J. Barton, pastor Of the local
Baptist Church, delivered the invoca-
ton, City Attorney Thornton delivered
the address Of welcome and the re-
sponse was made by p. G. Willis.
Never has the present-day banker
been offered better opportunity TO be
of service to his country than at this
time" said Mr. Claiborne, "for the
late war has so overturned our funda-
mental social and business customs
that we are now compelled to enter
paths unknown and untried, where ex-
perience is no longer the lamp to guide
our feet.
"The Capitalization of our govern
ment, which became so essential as
war measure. is being reluctantly sur
rendered, and State sovereignty has
become a vital question Of the day
and one which deserves the serious
consideration of the best minds OF
the banking business.
"A centralized Federal government
means a step nearer government own
ership, which means the destruction
of the individual effort, whereas, 1t is
the desire of each State to be gov
erned by its people and for its peo-
ple. This great country Of our was
born in a spirit of liberty and free
dom. and those great principles have
come down to us through the years,
with added strength In every genera
ton. Our institutions are not and
should not be under the lash OF the
government They have prospered
because they are founded upon those
principles of liberty and equity.
"The nation Is too widespread and
its interests to diversified for any
centralized government with fixed
and autocratic set Of men to meet in
telligently the varying needs of our
people, except on the most basic and
fundamental principles"
Secretary Eugene Cazedessus Of
Baton Rouge submitted his report,
which showed membership In the
association of 23S, with twenty-one
non-member banks in the State. Mr.
Cazedessus also submitted the report
