WASHINGTON, April 15. A Sick folks apparently are making increas- ing use of French champagne since prohibition went into effect. Al least. it can be imported only for medicinal use and Department ol Commerce figures show importations to the value of s384,39l in 1920 against s1,l5S in 1919.
 Efforts to get champagne admitted as a sacramental wine have failed the regulations holding 1t strictly to medicinal uses.

SOCKEYE SALMON RUNS IN PUGET SOUND SMALL. iHATCHERIES PL AIMED

{ OLYMPIA, Wash, April 15.-Ef- forts to induce sockeye salmon to come back to Puget Sound again in aarge numbers are to be made by the Washington State Department of Fisheries. For years, the sockeye formed a big part of the annual catch off Washington fishermen but since 1915 the runs have been very small.
 Every four years, the sockeye ran in large numbers In 1915 record run was reported, but in that year many. of the, fish were prevented by landslides in Hell Gate canyon from reaching their natural spawning grounds in the Fraser River of British Columbia. The slides, it was said, were caused by construc- ton work on a Canadian railroad. Since 1915 the runs have been dis appointing.
 Plans are now being made to es- tablish on the Fraser River hatch cries operated jointly by the State of Washington and the Government
 
 Eolufnbia does not care to help in the move, it. is proposed to develop .nocksye hatcheries along the north crn Washington coasts and endeavor to build up a sockeye. run in Wash fngton waters exclusively. The State Legislature has set aside $100,00t for the work.

WIPE SAPIRO PLAN AND
THE BANKER
BYVICTOR VICTOR.

I important to the association as lien
free cotton in affecting. market con.
> dictions.
: Error number two runs about like
this:
J The Capiro plan advocates think
/ they've got a panacea for all ills
/ believe they could have prevented
/ the recent big drop in cotton and faiI
/ to realize that cotton had to drop
/ mainly because Europe hasn't been
/ able TO take our surplus and because
English banking interests, which an
nuallY take and finance our cotton
and then retail it to spinners, have
been unable to undertake their
usual share Of that business this
year.
Holders of that error are again
leaping to the conclusion that Sa-
pirO plan advocates must have com
pletely empty heads because they
happen to have room inside of them
for an exceptionally big idea.
Right here it should be said. once
and for all, that the chief object Of
Sapiro organization is to stabilize
the market and secure justice for
the grower in normal times, and to
alleviate, not always to prevent
crises.
1t has been said again and again
that it must operate within the ul-
innate law of supply and demand.
To a limited extent, it can temper.
arilv modify supply, and by delib-
erately setting cut, as it undoubted-
iy will, to upbuild the universal con
sumption of cotton it can, either
temporarily at a given time or per
manentlv, create demand. But that
is not its greatest purpose and eff
feet, which is to keep the market
from being constantly MANIPULATED,
or its machinery stopped, to the Diet
riment of the producer, in temporary
defiance of the law of supply and
demand.
Sapiro plan advocates have no
diea that the existence of such a
unit as they propose in cotton could
have prevented the recent drop in
cotton prices. What they do main
tain is that it could have prevented
the drop from being quite SO unan-
ticipated, so sudden, or so great as
it was, and could have alleviated the
present burden of that drop upon
the cotton-producing section of the
country
The present drop in price NAV he
traced to the law of supply and de-
mand, of course, but it is out of all
proportion to the requirements of
that law, and this is true mainly be-
cause there is no efficient and suf-
ficiently representative sales unit
for actual cotton in existence.
Such a unit would have had lead
ing experts here and in Europe,
studying and knowing mot guess
ing at } every available fact bearing
upon the economics of the cotton
market long before the decline came.
Since then, it would have had cen

deals with governments and private
combinations long ago. On this

side, would have stood a single gi-
gantic unit capable of delivering,
without endless red tape, any guam
tity of actual cotton to fulfil those
deals. The War Finance Corpora
ton and two export banking COM
panies, to say nothing of additional
government financing which could
have been secured by more power
full and apparent representation of
growers interests than exists at
present, would have stood ready
sooner than they have, to finance
those deals In short, there is every
reason to assume that there would
have been more movement in cotton
than there has been as things stand
Moreover, the burden of little
movement would have been more
comfortably borne; for such a unit
would be in a position to use all
American resources, instead of the
southern banker alone, for the pur-
pose of financing all unavoidable
holding of the crop. Yes, the Eng
fish financiers failed us, and when
they did, they left the banks of the
south practically alone to finance all
cotton until it reached the mill.
Cotton is the great golden imper-
ishable among agricultural products.
With q more stable market system, it
would be the gilt-edged collateral for
any conceivable sort of financial
transaction-a veritable kind of
gold. If the then Insignificant Sapiro-
type organization of Northwestern
wheat growers could successfully sell
commodity bonds in the wheat crisis
of last year as they did, why
wouldn't the American public take
conservative cotton baby bonds"
ten times more readily? Why
wouldn't all the banks and banking
interests in the United States help
to finance cotton and be mighty glad
of the chance, if the unit existed
capable of approaching the whole
financial field of the country at the
same time and on even terms with
the actual collateral, correctly grad
cd under bond, in hand?
Would or would not the southern
banker welcome such a relieving
machinery at this hour? Would or
would not the southern merchant
welcome a situation in which his
banker, whose hands are now tied
completely by cotton, could lend him
o dollar now and then to help clear
the choked channels of ordinary
trade?
There is saying hereabouts that
"Cotton is our money CROP There
ought 0 be another that Cotton is
our money-tie-up crop"
From the southern bankers view
point, there is, of course, another
angle to the question. He wants to
know, since outside financial inter
asts are to be called upon to assist
him in crisis, if they won't be
found cutting into profitable side of
his cotton business in normal times.
Something might be said here about
his greater dependence for perma-
nent prosperity upon the general
prosperity of the farmer than upon
his opportunity to lend and possibly
lose all his money on one risk-but
let that pass till the next article.
Meantime, on the point in question;

ARTICLE "
CICC DAkro:


This article and the ensuing one,
on "The Sapiro Plan and the Mer,
chant" may really be taken as ono.
Everything that is said in either will
be of equal interest to both banker
and merchant. In fact, their inter
estS are so closely interviewer that
the discussion is. divided under two
titles merely as a matter of form.
To begin with, before discussing
the advantages Of the Sapiro plan to
southern banking and business in
terests, it is well to remind hard.

plan is strictly a business PROPOSE

rors to which expression is occasion.
ally, if rarely given.
Error number one runs about like
this:
"These Sapiro plan advocates have
no idea of the great number and va
riety of cotton growers, and don't
realize that the greater part of our
cotton, perhaps, is grown under pc
culiar renting systems or is covered
with liens before ever the seed is
planted"
In other words, the Sapiro plan
advocates are lunatics. They would
certainly be nothing less if the error
were not an error. Here are some
simple but interesting facts about
the Sapiro plan:
Where cotton is raised on
''shares," the landlord taking his
rent in cotton, the landlord is con
sidered a grower and his member
ship is sought in the association.
Where farmer raises cotton un-
der a lien, he, likewise, is eligible to
membership. The association, at its
own option and notifying him of its
decision before his crop is harvest
ed, will handle his cotton whenever
the consent of the lien-holder can be
obtained. In handling the identical
problem with other crops, that con
sent has almost never been withheld
1t simply means to the lienor that
instead of holding an obligation
backed by the grower, the bale OF
cotton, and the association. As
soon as that particular bale is sold,
the lien is paid, or, often, the asso-
citation pays off the lien on taking
the cotton.
Of course, the association will
comprise mostly the lien-free cot
ton of the state, and needs such cot
Ton for certain financing operations.
But a bale of cotton, which is un-
der lien of safely less amount than
the value of the cotton, and which
is given over to the association for
sale at its own time and in its own
time and in its own way, is just as
