MAY BUILD ROAD FROM

Saturday making a preliminary sur

Mr.. Palmer on the trip.
In company with George II. Shep-

Development, the visitors made q trip
Of inspection over the country be-
tween Sweetwater and Roby, taking
notes Of grades and other natural
conditions of the country, to be used

for the right Of way for the propos-
ed extension The party also made
an inspection tour Of the country
south OF Sweetwater to ascertain the
approximate cost Of an extension fur
Their south at some time IN the fu-
ture. should the road be extended
here from Roby
The need for this extension has
been recognized for some time by
citizens of both Sweetwater and
Roby. and at a meeting held several
months ago by citizens Of both places
it was shown that the two towns
would support the project Such
connection would give Roby and in
termediate points much better
freight and passenger service to the
east, west and south and would open
trade territory for Sweetwater.
Mr. Palmer returned to Kansas
City Saturday night. He stated his
intention to return to Sweetwater at
some time within the near future, at
which time he expected TO see def
mite action develop on the proposed

the fullest cooperation of every
Southern state represented here 60
day. -s...
Scope Unconfined.
1T is not az all intended to have
this export banking corporation limit
itself to the financing cotton exports,
but for the immediate present that
proves 10 be the greatest need and
as cotton is the principal product of
the South, your committee feels that
perhaps each state should contribute
toward CHS proposed capitalization
on the basis of say one dollar per
bale of the amount of cotton raised
in the respective state, and pay in
so cents per bale. AS the total cot
ton crop is estimated at 100000
bales at the time, this would provide
| just exactly the amount above re-
ferred to.
IF this meeting approves the
! above suggestions, the undersigned
committee is willing to serve as an
organization committee II desired.
with the addition of representatives
from each one of the other Southern
states mentioned above; but, in order
| ~ SuSSCSS VI Tins OAtOA ~ 100
it will then become necessary to ap-
point a campaign committee of lead
ing bankers, in each of the Southern
states so that we can be reasonably
sure that the proper quota will be
made available in each state.
your committee holds out no eX
travagant promises nor does it hope
, that the facilities established by such
a corporation will at once remedy
all Of our ills; but we do believe
that such n corporation can be OF
tremendous benefit to the South, and
Ito the nation especially in its pres
ent emergency and will make 1t pos
sible to provide a market for some
of our agricultural products and the
commodities in countries where nc
sales can be made at this time eX-
cept on terms of credit which run
longer than we have been used to
in American banking heretofore and
longer than can be made available
at the federal reserve bank except
through the medium of such a cor
poration. In addition to emergency
benefits, such an institution will
prove a favorable asset in norma
times.
I'VE therefore recommend a full
| bHu StTlOuS ulSCuSSlOH VI ILLS pal
and pledge ourselves to try to carry
it into effect in the shortest posi-
BILE time If you who are assembled

might be done 60 improve the situa-
ton; and accordingly the UNDER
signed committee was appointed rep>
resenting most OF the Southern states
and this committee Is to be increased
by having representatives from Mis-
souri,, Virginia, Oklahoma and Flor
ida.
Your committee feels that the
time Is past for oratory, special APP
peals to governmental or other au-
thorities, and that it is time that we
of the South take hold of this situa-
ton and help ourselves as we I'M
doubtedly can if We will cooperate
in the manner hereafter suggested.
Sales Body Impracticable.
your committee first Of all dis
cussed the question as to whether we
should interest ourselves in a COZ
poration which would look after the
actual marketing of our products or
confine our efforts to providing the
necessary financial means to take
care of the credits resulting from
the sale of such products. 1t was
the unanimous conclusion that while
1t is possibly advisable to organize
a number of trading corporations I'M
would hardly be practicable to have
an organization which would attempt
the actual selling of goods for the
entire South. Your committee, there
fore, recommends that the question
of trading corporations be left en-
tirely to the judgment of the bankers
and business men in each state or
district and we are of the belief that
especially so far as cotton is con-
| cerned there are already in existence
many large and responsible export
| houses which will buy the cotton
from the planters and factors for ex-
port purposes If we can provide the
financial machinery necessary to help
| them.
Your committee does not believe
that we should attempt anything on
| too large scale but recommends
that we start an export financing
corporation under the Edge act with
capital and surplus of say $4,000
900. Fifty per cent of the subscribed
capital would provide an immediate
fund of $6,000,000 which would be
represented by $5,00O,000 of capital
and $1,000,000 of surplus and that
would be enough to handle con-
siderable volume of business.
| your committee feels that II
should not be difficult to get sub
scriptions for $12,000,000 stock in
such corporation of which only half
would be expected to be paid in for
at least long time to come . but
