I Faf1llers Getting
 Together

Dr. Geo L Sands, State Cam. paign Manager of the Arkansas Division of the American Cotton Association, reports interesting meetings held during the last week at Paris, Russellville, Con- way, ClarksvilIe and elsewhere in the state. The farmers of Arkansas are gettiug togeth 1T on the plans outlined by the Cotton Association in a most enthusias- tic manner'' said Dr. Sands. Al first, there seen d to be some hesitancy because it was a new proposition. but when its dem onstrated t. them that the .Asso. citation is greas, nationwide movement m behalf of the pro- ducer of cotton and those closel, allied to him in business way they rally promptly to the stand ard of this new declaration oI ; agricultural independence"
 The Association is not an i'm. practica dream, but is a method by which many important re forms can be brought about in the growing and marketing of our staple product. ''
 "Iti is not, and cannot be d c nied, that the A n .ri:a1 C)sto
 Association, even in it's short ex- istence' of twelve months, has saved for the growers many cents per pound in the sale of their cotton, aggfegating hundreds of millions of dollars to the wealth of the entire South, which would otherwise have been lost. And ye', in the fact of these facts, the question is often asked by. q Southern business man or farm CT, why should dues be paid to the American Cotton Association, no matter how small Der indjvid-

Extra Session 70
 (cnypae Monday

Extra Session No. 3 of the Ark ansas Genenral Assembly will convene et noon next Monday.
 It is called for the purpose of enactine road, school, and drain age laws, but it is believed that a supplementary cali will be issu- ed this week to include certain general laws for which 1t is be- lieVed there is an urgent demand.
 Among these will be the prop osition to move the primaries up from August to, probably, May. The State Central Committee will meet next Saturday to decide this matter, and the Governor will be guided by the recommen- dation of the committee. The politicianssof the state are badly divided on the question, and the change is as vigorously opposed by some as it is warmly advocat- cd by others.
 Another proposition likely to be included will be provisions for the proper maintainance of the National Guard It is believed never in the history If the State has there been gfeaternecd foran that effective militia organization throughout the country than now Confidential Information has come into the hands of the Governor from high authority that there is a growing movement among the reactionaries and radicals to over throw the Government. All state authorities have been warned to be on the alert, and be prepared.
 These things, with the mass of road laws, will keep the Legsla- tors busy for the full fifteen days they are permitted to serve un- der the Constitution.
 After the legislatives experien- ce of the last year, the question arises, who will have the nerve to start a movement for a sane regulation of General Assembly Sessions. The sentiment is grow ing in favor of taking off the limit of time and placing the members on salary, so that they may remain in session as long as necessary to transact the busi- ness of the state.
 That system would have been cheaper th!s time than the limit ed sixty day session with unlimit-
 d extra sessions.

Palmer Defended for
Fixing Price of Sugar
Minority of House Committee
i'll Report Take Issue With
the Majority

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Action of
Attorney General Palmer in sanction
ing "fair' price for Louisiana sugar
was defended to-day in a report of
minority members of the House sugar
investigating committee
Representatives Wnaley, South Caro-
Ina, and Summers, Texas, who signed
the report, took issue with the conten-
ton of the majority committee mem
bers that Mr.. Palmer had used his
power as chief prosecuting officer of
the government to fix "maXimum
prices Of sugar in Louisiana and in so
doing acted wholly without authority
and in violation of his own construc-
ton of his official duty"
The minority report charged that
Congress, after Investigations had dis
closed a shortage of sugar, had failed
to pass any remedial or constructive
legislation, and that such lack of &C
ton had very pronounced effect on
the sugar market
In defense of the Attorney General
and District Attorney Henry Mooney,
of Louisiana, who cooperated with
him, the minority held that their ac-
ton in determining a fair price to
guide them in bringing of prosecu-
tons accomplished results which
could have been accomplished in no
other way

Smith Joins Campaign
For Postal Pay Raises
Governors Letter to New York
Members of Congress
Urges Increases

ALBANY, ,une Ex-Governor Smith
to-day entered the. campaign to obtain
increases IN salaries for the employees
Of the postal service. In letters to the
New YORK members Of Congress he
asked that they use thei.. best en-
deavors to bring about the increases.
II am informed the postal employees
are being forced by necessity to seek
other employment because Of the we'll
known fact that their salary has by no
means kept pace with the increased
cost OF living the Governor wrote.
IN our own state salary increases
have been made to meet the new condi-
tons in order that the state may retain
in its service its trained and efficient
employees. The government can do no
less and a. the same time keep this
important branch up to the standard
Of efficiency that the business interests
Of our state demand.
ut is because Of that business in
terest that l am writing you TO use
your best cndcavors to have amended
the report Of the Postal Wage Com
mission, just made public providing
for increases in salary that to my mind
do not adequately meet the situation"
