PRESIDENT SIGNED
BILL CUTTING THE
ARMY'S STRENGTH
10000 MEN BY OCTOBER
Harding Expressed Fear That
If the Letter of the Act Were
Followed a Serious Injustice
Might Be Done in Dismissal
of Men Enlisting Under
Contract.

Washington, June 3O.-President
Harding signed today annual army
appropriation bill directing a reduct-
ion Of the regular army to 100000
men by October 1, but at the same
time advised Congress that in his
opinion further legislation might be
required to relieve the government of
embarrassment of violation of obliga-
ton to enlisted men whose discharge
the reduction will make necessary.
Because of provision in the bill
forbidding the war department to ex-
ceed the actual amount appropriated
the President said if the letter of the
act were followed a grave injustice
might be done in the dismissal of
men who enlisted under a definite
contract.
"The secretary of war" stated Mr..
Harding will seek to avoid creation
of any deficit, but If probable de-
ficit develops in the Just procedure to
reduce the enlisted forces send your
report to Congress at the earliest
possible day and ask it to relieve
the embarrassment of the secretary
of war"
The President is understood to
have adopted the course instead of
vetoing the measure because the fis-
cal year for which the bill appro-
PIRATES funds begins tomorrow.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON EXPORTING BILL
Bill Provides Creation of Cor
poration to Promote Export
ing Agricultural Products.

Washington, June 30.-Favorable
report on the Norris bill to create a
one hundred million dollar govern
ment corporation to promote the ex-
portation Of agricultural products
was ordered today by the Senate Ag-
ricultural Committee.
Chairman Norris was asked to urge
the senate to give the bill a promi-
nent place on the calendar before the
agreement for a three day recess is
grated. Democratic members gave
notice they would be opposed to the
purchase of products for sale abroad.
They said they would oppose other
provisions on the ground that certain
tasks assigned the bill are now per-
formed by other government agen-
cies,

ELOQUENT. APPEAL
: BY DR.. kkGORE
TO THE farmers
MEETING AT COURTHOUSE
NEE TING Al CUON HOUSE
DR.. Kilgore Described the Ar
rangement That Seeks to
Market Cotton and Tobacco
So That Our Farmers May
Derive Benefit From a.
COOPERATIVE System.

Farmers from all parts Of the
county were present in the court
house this afternoon to hear DR..
Kilgore explain cooperative mar
ket.
He was introduced by Mr.. Louis
Tomlinson who emphasized the
necessity for action in order to pool
the cotton crop and keep it off the
market until fair price is reached.
DR.. Kilgore explained the system
how the state will be districted, and
handled by a board of directors,
composed of leading business men
and substantial citizens.
The members Of the association
will sign contract to deliver their
cotton to the management in each
district to be sold in pools. He ex-
planned the California plan, after
which the method here has been pat
termed.
Heretofore moves similar to this
have failed because the contract was
made for one year. He stated that
one year contracts have been fail
ures because the spinners and to-
bacco manufacturers did not know
what to depend on.
In California after the first FIVE.
year contracts exldred the prune and
raisin growers signed up for seven
and fifteen years. There were 90
per cent of the California growers
signed. = r&if
The North Carolina plan proposes
to incorporate the business and will
bind the members thereto to deliv-
er their crops to the pools formed
under the organization.
DR.. Kilgore stated this organiza-
ton will be the biggest factor in
the cotton and tobacco business, and
the larger the membership the
stronger and broader it will be.
The larger amount Of cotton and to-
bacco pooled, the greater the force
for the control Of the price.
The purpose is to keep the conf
dence of both the producer and the
consumer. He said we are today
following the plans of fifty years
ago. namely, an unsystematic meth

ADMINISTRATIONS
PERMANENT TARIFF
BILL INTRODUCED
PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME
No Official Estimate Was Made
of the Revenue the Bill is
Expected to Return, But Un.
official Estimates Place the
Return as High as 500, ,000,.
600 a Year.

Washington, June 29.-The ad-
ministration' permanent tariff bill
was introduced today in the house Of
Representatives and for the first time
was made public.
No explanatory statements accom-
panied the introduction of the meas
ure as heretofore has been customary
and no official estimate was made of
the revenue it is expected to return.
Unofficial estimates by members Of
the ways and means committee, how
ever, placed the expected return as
high as $7O0,OO0,000 a year. The
Payne-Aldrich law in the normal pre-
war years produced a little more
than $3O0,OO0,000 year.
Examination Of the bill, which av-
erages 346 printed pages, shows that
in some cases the rates proposed are
higher than corresponding rates of
tuC 1dyuC-AluIICu Ia W WuuC OtuCl
are lower.
An estimate of how the whole bill
compares with the Payne-Aldrich law
would be possible only by tariff ex-
perts making a detailed study be-
cause the schedules of the new bill
are in many cases not framed in par
allel with the subjects Of the payne
law" but are differently constructed.
In comparison with the Underwood
tariff law of the Wilson administra-
tion, the new bill removes many ar
ticles from the free list although it
leaves large list free of duty, in
cluding print paper, wood pulp,
leather and harness, and agricultural
implements. 1t raises the duties on
the great bulk of imports already be-
ing taxed. 1t has made no notable
additions to the free list.
