Several weeks before congress en-
acted this legislation, the attorney
general declared. the president had
asked for extension of the Lever act
for a definite period so as not to make
its iife hinge on the proclamation of
peace. Though not specifically men,
tioning the Cuban crop purchase as
contingent on this legislation, Mr..
Palmer said that it was among the
things the president had in mind. The
legislation, he added, was needed so
that the government might control the
distribution Of sugar.
IF | am guilty in Louisiana, then
l am guilty elsewhere in respect to all
necessaries," declared Mr.. Palmer,
"and there is plenty of room to find
me guilty from the records of the
department.

PUTS BLAME ON MILLS
Correspondent Writes of Enormous
Dividends.

The State.
The interesting statement Of w.
W. Wood, president of the American
Wooien company, and the several
news items of stock dividends of 200
and 800 per cent. being declared by
cotton mills, shows on their face the
chief reason for the high cost of
living" as it relates to wearing ap-
parel
The American Woolen company,
according to the statement, after pay
ing an enormous tax to the govern
ment has declared dividends on its
preferred stock, S2,S00,00O and on
its common stock S3,200,000 (the
amount of such dividends not being
mentioned in the statement), and in
addition has set aside for deprecia-
tion the sum of S3,733,6l1, leaving a
balance of profit for the year of
S5,779,S50; and we are told that the
Surplus after all charges had been
paid was equal to a dividend of
$3.50 share on the S20,000,000 of
outstanding common stock.
Referring to the cotton goods stu
alton, it is generally understood that,
while the farmer is getting about 40
cents per pound for cotton, each
pound brings a profit to the mills to
from so to so cents, making the cost
of cotton goods all out of proportion
to the cost of the raw material.
Certainly the claim of high wages
does not account for; the great diff
ference in the price of the manufac-
tured product as compared to the
price paid for the raw material. II
it did, we would not hear of stock
dividends amounting to 200 and 800
per cent.
I make these observations in view
of the protest against clothing prices,
as it finds expression in the various
Overall clubs being formed. Every
one must be in sympathy with the
people who are protesting against un-
reasonable sums which have to be
paid for wearing apparel, and yet the
result is apt to cause ''the innocent
bystanders," the retail clothing mer-
chants, to be the ones who must pay
the penalty for the wrongs OF the
woolen and cotton mills. l, Of course,
do not refer to such retail dealers as
have caught the spirit of the mills
and who have become "profiteers,
but do feel for the great body of re-
tail dealers who are content with
reasonable profit, and who must suffer
the consequences for which they are
in no way responsible, and which are
referable primarily to the enormous
profits being demanded by the mills.
It seems to me then, that with the
mills sold ahead through 1921, while
the protest of the people may be
needed as a warning to "protiteers,
some other way around must be found
to get at the root of the evil. 1t is
certainly not with the producers OF
the raw material, among who are our
cotton farmers, nor primarily and
principally with the handler OF the
finished article, but on the other
hand. it lies with the mills converting
the raw materials.
There can be no objection to prot
its enabling the payments of sub
statnial dividends on invested capltai,
on the setting aside Of sufficient sums
to take care of depreciation and the
like. but the exploiting of necessities,
at the expense of the whole people,
for the benefit of the mill owners
can not be tolerated much longer.

CLASSIC FILM
"A Winter S Tale Screen
ed At Aggie Auditor
ium For Classes

The new moving picture machine
installed in the auditorium of the Ag-
ricultural college here has been of a
great source of benefit, education
and amusement to the student body
faculty and nearby friends of the
institution.
Friday evening a week ago the
auditorium was crowded to its full
capacity by friends living in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of college who were
invited to witness the presentation
Of Concrete Romance" and other
reels shown. The story revealed
the processes by which an old dilap-
idated house, with its disreputable
torndown shacks, was converted into
q modern and splendidly equipped
farm by the building of concrete
barns and housing facilities for the
stock and poultry. There was the
usual thread of romance running
through the play which made it alike
interesting to young and old.
Friday evening "a Winters Tale"
was shown on the screen, the scenes
being greatly enjoyed by the stu
dent body and many friends who
came to be with the pupils. This
beautiful bit of literature is being
studied by the students at this time,
the picture illustrating more fully
than printed words the salient points
