SMITH TALKS COTTON.
Senior United States Senator Predicts
Great Shortage.

Prediction Of a world shortage Of
cotton next summer was made in the
senate Tuesday by Senator Smith
CDemocraD of South Carolina in a
speech analyzing the statistics on cot
ton consumption for October, made
public by the census bureau. Should
the rate of consumption for the cnsu-
ing months equal or exceed that of Oc-
tober he said there would not be Il bale
Of American cotton in existence by
next August l.
In the course of his speech, Mr..
Smith digressed to discuss what he said
was the failure of congressional action
intended to aid the farmers, asserting
that it seemed the ronly hope for the
agricultural interests lay in the forma-
tion Of their own cooperative selling
agencies and the establishment of their
own banks. He added that relief leg
islation thus far had been converted
into "breastworks behind which the in~
terests opposed TO the farmers en-
trcnchcd themselves to destroy the far

of legislation designed to help the
farmer by teaching him cooperative
marketing, and giving him hog colera
serum, and showing his wife how tc
cook and so on, is irrelevant to the
main issue. In point of fact, the farmer
who owns a piece Of productive land is
not at all badly off. He cannot make
much money, but if he practices di-
versified farming in an intelligent way
he can be and often is, one Of the best
fed and most comfortable men in the
world. City people in this country
often live on rations that to the more
substantial sort of country people
would look like starvation. 1t is only
the farmer who 'foolishly stakes his all
on one money crop, like cotton or
tobacco, who encounters actual want.
The trouble is not that the farmer
who owns a farm is suffering. The
trouble is: firsts that he can sell his
farm, invest the money in mortgages
and make more without working, in
many instances, than he can make by
farming his land. Second, he can often
rent his land to someone else more
proftably than he can work it him.
self. Third, If he has several sons, the
ones that do not inherit the farm can
not afford to buy one in this country
They either go into other lines Of work
or else go to some other country.
The result is a country in which
more and more of the land passes into
the hands of men who hold it idle for
speculative purposes, or rent it, and in
which man who wants to invest his
money in land and to farm it, cannot
do so profitably. Inevitably it is also
land in which food prices rise stead
lily.
What is the remedy? Two have been
proposed. First, for the nation or the
states to buy and reclaim land and sell
it to farmers at price based on what
it will produce and on long time credit.
This was the essence Of Secretary
Lanes scheme Of land for soldiers,
which so mysteriously disappeared. It
is the basis of the California land and
colonization plan, which has worked
well, and it has been put into practice
in some form by several other states.
The second method is a form Of tax
alton on unimproved land which would
make it improbable to hold such land
for speculative purposes. Such a tax
has always been held sound by stu
dents. A bill providing for such tax
was introduced in the last congress by
Representative Keller.
1t has attracted as much attention
as pin falling into the Atlantic ocean.

FISCAL CONDITIONS SHOWN.
Interesting Facts and Figures Relative
To Big Powers.

Questions Of population, national
wealth, national debts, ratios of taxa
tion to wealth and debt, increases in
debt and taxation since prior to the
World war, figures as to foreign trade
and war effect Of exports and imports
will all take an important part in the
discussion on limiting armaments.
Each subject has definite share in
having brought about the conference
and is linked not alone with the econ
omics discussions among the delegates
to be expected, but directly associated
with the size Of armies and navies.
For the five major powers partici-
pating in the arms conference the fol-
lowing outliHe may be taken available
here: z
To arrive at the relation Of existing
tax burden, the estimated national
wealth of the five powers be set down
as follows: British empire, $1S0,OOO,-
100000; Italy $4,000, 100000; France,
500, 900, 100000; Japan $4,000, 900, 900;
United, States, s35O,OOO, 100000. On
the basis of 1920 direct taxation this
represents the following ratio Of taxes
to national wealth in each country;
British empire 10 per cent; Italy, 1.6
per cent; France IL per cent; Japan,
O.6 per cent; United States, IL per
cent. -
Population totals (estimated) are as
follows: British empire, 469,431,559;
Italy, 3S,S4O,O00; France, 91,225,00O;
Japan, 7S,OOO,961; United States, 49,
S32,596 Qncluding 12,414,43r in non
contiguous territories). Against this
the per capita of taxation in 1920 is:
British empire, $7.40; Italy, $12;
France, $13; Japan, So; United States
$33.
For the purpose of this calculation,
national debts are placed as follows:
British empire, $46,725,31S,OOO; Italy,
1856, 400, 900; France, $41,69S, ,O20, 900;
Japan, $1,763, 100000; United States,
So, ,996, 52S,O 900. Ratio of debt TO nat
ional wealth, British empire, 26 per
cent; Italy, 59.5 per cent; France, All

States, 60 per cent. Ratio of debt to
population; British empire, 800; Italy
$3.50; France; $45S; Japan, $2S; United
States, $2O2.
Increases in direct taxes between
1918 and 1920 were as follows: Brit
ish empire, $423,O73,OOO to $3,514,527-
900; Italy, $11S,43OOOO to $4S4,5OO,OOO;
France, $1SS,67O,OOO to $1,22O,422,Oeo
Japan, $72,454,OOO to $17O,526,OOO;
United States, $1,349,S41, 900 to $4,000
100000.
Changes in foreign commerce for
each power between 1913 and 1920
were: British empire imports, $6,O37,-
$4,000 to $14,O92, 100000; exports, s4,-

The Game Warden Busy.

The Game Warden Busy.
"Thus far we have arrested seven
hunters charged with hunting without
license" said County Game Warden
Dan T. Woods of Yorkville, yesterday.
-Four men were recently arrested in
the Bowling Green section, charged
with hunting without, license. Still
there are lots of hunters who are es-
Gaping US, although my assistants and
myself are doing everything possible
to round up every man who hunts
without a license.
while more York county people are
advertising no trespaSs on their lands
this year than ever before" the county
game warden went on to say, that is
about as far as they will go. If par
tridges are a destroyer of the boil
weevi they should not be hunted
at all. Personally | have'always made
it rule not to hunt on mans land
where that man objects to hunting and
have offered TO report persons hunt
ing on posted land where catch
them and to appear ais witness
against them. But L find that most
people who do not want hunters on
their lands will not prosecute, One
man told me the other day that while
he objected to hunting on his place he
was afraid that if he did prosecute
trespassers they would bprn him. out.
So it goes. If they prosecute it would
help me in enforcing the game laws a
great DEAL although | understand |

of trespass." .-..
Speaking of birds coming south the
county game warden said that north

unusually early this year in order TO

TOOKER may Be ASKED
TO DROP FROM LOCAL RACE

In order to do away with con-
test at the primaries in the Second
ward aldermanic Republican nomina-
ton, a committee of leading Repub-
licans is said to have formed to
consult with Frank Tooker today in
an effort to have him drop from the
race in favor of Edward Lembcke,
tho other G.. O. p. choice. Lembcke
was the first to enter the field and
has already filed his petition. Took
err, who was defeated at the last two
elections by Alderman Albert g..
Waters, announced Thursday night
that ne had thought seriously of en-
tering the race again this fall. He
did not say definitely at that time
whether he would or would not be
a candidate. Lembcke seems to have
the backing of a majority of the
Second Ward Republicans thus far
but friends of Tooker believe their
choice to be about as strong as can
be secured.

Charles F. Keeney, United Mine

BandholtZ was starting from
Charleston to go over the line at
Marmet to see that the army actual
ly had disbanded and that the men
| were going home.
The miners had left Madison by
special train and 1t was expected
they would lose no time In getting
to the mining towns and villages on
which they had set out more than a
week ago for the rendezvous at Mar
met.
They were tired and weary after
the long march and the long wait at
Madison where Mr.. Keeney arranged
for the train to take them back to
Charleston.
In spite of the fact that the march
was halted at Madison yesterday af-
ternoon and although Mr.. Keeney
said the miners would listen to his
advice and abandon the enterprise,
disquieting rumors began reaching
Charleston at an early hour and in
creased as the day advanced.
General Bandholtz, to get in per-
sonal touch with the situation, left
Governor Morgan's office with
party of state officers to drive over
the line of march.
