GAMBLING BAN
ON GRAIN URGED
eapper Says Congress Must
Deal With Farm Products
Market Abuse.
THINKS TIME NOW RIPE
Situation Growing Critical
Throughout Country, Says
Kansas Senator.

Legislation prohibiting gambling
insthe grain and cotton exchange on
future deliveries Of farm products
will be almost unavoidable during
the coming short session of Con-
gTess, in the opinion of Senator
Arthur Capper. of Kansas, who ar
rived in Washington late last night.
"s@The situation is extremely crit
ioal. especially in the Middle West,
Senator Capper said There Is
vague, ugly feeling among farmers
over the violent fluctuations in
prices of farm products which they
feel is not entirely due to the law
Of supply and demand"
Thinks Time f. Ripe.
While the question of restricting
-gambling in futures is an old one
and many bills have been introduced
Inn the past, Senator Capper believes
the present time is the psychological
moment for the passage of such
legislation He declared he would
introduce a bill Immediately after
Congress convenes.
Immediately after the opening
last July Of the Chicago Grain Ex-
change, which had been closed dur
ing the war;" Senator Capper said,

ward and undoubtedly exerting a
gfeat influence in depressing prices.
Farm organizations all over the
country are a unit in favoring legis-
lation prohibiting gambling in cot
ton, wheat, corn and oat futures
and are stirred up to a greater de-
gree than ever before.
"a move also will be made to re-
vtve the war finance board. Farm

their grain in stock on a falling
market during the last few months

Seuse of inadequate credit facilities.

The present, where prices are be-

money is tight and credit unobtain-
apie, a war finance board should
zafnction in order to work out some
sTS2Ft of relief for the farmers and
Stpck men, The bankers of the
country also are in favor of this
: move
Another measure Capper believes
Eall be enacted into law at the COM
ing session is the so-called Capper-
rzman bill legalizing co-opera-
s$e marketing and exempting farm
organizations from the provisions
OF the Clayton antitrust act This
measure already has passed the
House and has been reported favor
Oily to the Senate, where it is now
nding.
Senator Capper. who is a member
gfs the Select Senate Committee

TRAINING BARGAIN HUNTERS.

In the opinion OF a women's wear
manufacturer, the high prices forced on
the public are having one effect it may
take the retailers some time to overcome.
He explained that, outside of the few
people with plenty of money to spend,
the merchants are training up an immense
army of bargain hunters who refuse to
spend money except when there is a
sale. He believes that many retailers are
blinded by the money value of their
business volume, forgetting that sales are
fewer. Once the period of extravaganza is
over, he said, such stores will find them
selves handicapped by the economies they
have now taught so many people to
practice. New York Times.
