COTTON SITUATION NOW
BEFORE COMMITTEE

President Harding has named a
committee of three, consisting of
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover and
Eugene Meyer, director of the war
finance corporation, to deal with in
sufficient credit facilities in the cot
ton producing sections of the South,
and to map out a course of action
to relieve the situation, it was an
nounced in Washington Monday.
Secretary Hoover, who made the
announcement, stated that the COM
mittee would begin conferences on
the situation.
What is yitally needed. Hoover
said, is some means which will make
it easier for cotton growers to OBJ
tain additional credit facilities so
that they can carry over their pres
ent stocks until such time as con-
ditions are bettered, and they can
place their holdings on the market in
an orderly fashion.
One Of the first things to be con-
sidered, it was learned, is the forma-
ton Of big cotton "pool" similar in
nature to the livestock pool" recent
ly organized with headquarters in
Chicago.
Should such pool be authorized
its headquarters probably would be
at Atlanta or. New Orleans.

ANNUITY OF $4,000
TO EX-PRESIDENTS

Commenting on legislation pending
in congress which would provide an
annuity Of $4,000 for life for form
er presidents of the United States
the Memphis News Scimitar has the
following to say:
"Few of our presidents have been
wealthy. The greater number have
left the White House facing the
problem of making a living at an
age when their future should
Re secure. = gland pays her SER

them in the way of pensions when
their tenure Of office expires. The
richest country in the world should
not be behind in this matter.
"The unthinking may say: Let

Labor becometh any man, but a man
who has given some Of the best years
of his life to the service of his coun-
try should not be compelled to enter
the struggle for existence when the
sands Of life are beginning to run
low. The sum of $4,000 a year is
small enough; pitifully small, when
it is considered how Great Britain
rewards her servants.
"Mary Of our presidents we put to
the most desperate expedients to
keeq their heads above the water JEFF
ferson sold his library; Gen. Grant
wrote his memoirs when he was dy-
ing, in order to pay his debts; Cleve-
land was glad to accept life insur-
ance trusteeship: Harrison delivered
law lectures, and Taft maintains
himself the same way, aided by his
writings.
eve pay our presidents less than
the heads of many corporations re-
ceive and expect them TO maintain
such a standard of living as vir-
tually takes every cent Of salary we
grudgingly bestow. We should do
Justice to our ex-presidents."

MEAT ANIMALS ARE
ALARMINGLY SHORT

The number Of cattle for each 100
persons in the United States is TO-
day One-third less than in 1900. The
sheep supply is reduced nearly two
thirds, while the number Of hogs is
fully II per cent less now than then,
according to figures compiled from
the census reports bv Herman Ny
rick, a farm expert for a farm pub
LEGATION.
Declaring that this alarming
shortage" in livestock is such as to
furnish meat supply only about
half as great for each person in the
country Mr., Myrick said that "the
decline during recent months in
prices to producers is so utterly UNI
justified as to constitute the gravest
economic crime ever perpetrated
upon the farmers of America.
Other figures were given to show
that 20 per cent. fewer pounds of
meat were exported during the pres
ent fiscal year than during the prev
ious year, while imports totaled 49,
100000 pounds of fresh meat. or
nearly four times as much as two or
three years ago. More than half of
these imports, he said, were mutton
and lambs from Australia, or i'm
ports rs times greater than the ex-
ports of the United States.
Mr.. Myrick charged that the
United States department Of agri-
culture for years has overestimated
tba nui,,hnY. If sbaa,, av1d suy;y,a ~
declared that the departments esti-
mate for January, 1920, was in error
no less than % per cent.
