Especial to The Evening World)
ALBANY, April 13.-Declaring that
it is aimed at an undoubted abuse,
Gov. Miller has signed the Walton
Bloch bill, sponsored by The Evening
World, which would protect theatre
goers from the rapacity of ticket spe-
culators by limiting the profit on any
ticket sold outside the box Office of
place of public entertainment to so
cents. The Governor vetoed a bill
having the same object last year, but
this bill is bulwarked by a licensing
provision which puts ticket specuia-
tors directly under the Jurisdiction of
the Secretary of State and in his
memorandum, on the measure the
0,svsrnor statss the IN hiss1pinion
this feature is valid and will stand
the test of the courts.
The Evening World, through
Sophie Irene Loeb, has been fighting
the theatre ticket speculation nui-
sance for years, through the Board
of Aldermen and the Legislature The
spectators, with one notable excep-
ton. have fought the interests of the
public at every step. Before the bill,
which has just become law. was
framed legal authorities were con-
a1 ie hal hot alN,
| tons on the ground of unconstitu-
tionality have been overcome.
At the public hearing on the bill
| only one voice was raised against it
that of Louis Marshall, the attorney,
who was under retainer by the ticket
| spectators whose immense profits
would be materially reduced by regu-
lation. In behalf of the bill appeared
| Miss Loeb, Augustus Thomas, dean of
American playwrights; John Golden,
| the New York manager: Senator Wal

Joseph Auerbach, one of the leaders
of the New York bar. who was of aid
to Miss Loeb; Senator Walton and
Assemblyman Bloch also submitted a
brief setting forth precautions that

Bride, head of McBnde's ticket
agency, one of the largest in New
York, also spoke in favor Of the bill

and represented by Mr.. Thomas and
Mr.. Golden in support of the bill at
the public hearing were the Society
OF American Dramatists, the Actors
Equity Association, the Actors FL
deity Association and the Producing
Managers Association of America.
The advocates OF the bill stressed
the point that the theatre is a public
institution, owing duty TO the public
which it is unable to fulfil if the
patronage is limited to those able TO
pay the exorbitant prices demanded
by men who make a living in specu-
lation in tickets.

to where the girl was lying. She was

MAYOR RNOT PEEVED
At VETOOF SALARY
RAISE BY MILLER
Bears No Ill-Will-IS Glad
Governor Sees Light as
to Home Rule.

Although Gov. Miller's veto of his
salary increase from SIS, 900 to $25, =
900 a year means financial loss of
nearly $4o,0 to Mayor Hylan during
his four-year term, the Mayor in a
statement issued to-day says he bears
the Governor no ill will" He then
proceeds to criticise the Governor for
what he characterizes as his inconsis-
tency. IT Mayor t'tement fol-
lows:
Il bear no ill-will toward the Gov
crnor for vetoing the bill increasing
the salaries of the Mayor, Comptroller
and Aldermanic President.
"The Governor, however knows
that section 56 of the Charter does
not permit the members of the pres
sent Board OF Estimate to increase
their own current salaries (Which
charter provision is sound in prin-
ciple) and consequently any increase
in salary to any member of the pres
ent Board must be by legislative ac-
ton at Albany. He knows this diff
ferentiates the Mayor Comptroller
salary bill from all the bills which l
vetoed, which latter were ones where
the Board of Estimate either had or
could have increased salaries.
fn nr
is beginning to realize that there is
something in the principle of home
rule. He may some day realize his
error in not applying 1t TO the vastly
more important transit and Port Au-
thority matters and his error in not
turning a deaf ear TO the interests
that induced him to violate home rule
on those subjects.
1T is to be regretted that the Gov
ernor did not apply this same princi-
pie of home rule TO other important
bills which take from the local au-
thorities the right to locally govern,
resulting in an eventual cost to the
taxpayers Of the city of millions of
dollars.
II regret that the Governor did not
apply this home rule principle to the
Bronx Parkway Commission Bill
which I understand he approved
within the last few days, and which
compels the taxpayers of New York
City to furnish thousands of dollars
to maintain a separate police force
for that commission in WestchesteI
County and enables it at q cost OF
millions of dollars to beautify the
Harlem Branch of the New York
Central Railroad Company. This
commission to date has cost New
York City taxpayers over $40, 900, 900.
There were many bills sent down
| from Albany to embarrass me for poll
tical reasons. The Republican Legis-
lature passed this Mayoralty Salary
Bill twice. and did so once even after
the Meyer committees political inves-
tigation, and l am glad / gave them

and the grades of the same in this
country and abroad, with such in
formation published periodically
will be of tremendous economic value
to the entire cotton-growing industry.
Heretofore, such information has been
uncertain as to the facts and it's pub
lication has been delayed far beyond
the time that would make it valuable
for regulating the cotton acreage in
the spring or for intelligent and eff
clent marketing in the fall.
Senator Harris bill vii, therefore
provide for the information to be
gathered and disseminated from re-
liable data that will be of great value
to every department of the cotton
trade, especially the cotton-growing
and manufacturing interests.
Number of Important Agricultural
Measures Pending in Congress
There are at present number
of agricultural measures pending
in Congress, which, when enacted
into law, will be of great economic
value to the cotton-growing indus
try. The American Cotton Associa-
tion has been an active and per-
sistent advocate of these measures
in behalf of the cotton farmers and
their allied business interests in
the South. Among the most i'm
portant of these measures are the
pending bills in the Senate seek
ing well-constructed federal sys-
tenn of short-term agricultural
finance which will more satisfac-
torily meet the needs of the agri-
cultural industry than is possible
under the existing machinery pro-
vided for short-term commercial bank
ing. This legislation will be pressed
to passage as soon as the present
tariff and bonus bills are finally en-
acted.
There has been time in the
history of American agriculture
and, especially the cotton-growing
industry, when wholesome and con-
structive federal legislation was
more urgently needed for the bene-

tation of the industry certain and
upon scale of cotton production
that will meet the needs of legiti-
mate consumption. The methods
employed by the crop reporting bu-
reau at Washington must be changed
to meet the new problems confront
ing cotton production. We are ac-
lively pressing this matter upon the
crop reporting bureau so as to pro-
vide for more comprehensive report
on boil weevil damage, credit condi-
tion of the growers, limited use of
commercial fertilizers and shortage of
good mule power on Southern farms.
The abandoned cotton acreage planted
each year should be ascertained in
July and published in August, as such
information given out in December is
OF but little value to the growers or
any department of the cotton trade.
The purpose now is to utilized all
available federal machinery for
prompt and effective co-operation
that will be of the greatest use and
benefit to the farmers and spinners
at the time such information would be
| of real economic value.
Cotton Production Receiving Earnest
Consideration Throughout the World
At no time in the history of cot
ton production in the United States
has the industry received deeper
concern by the worth textile lead
ers and trade than at the present
time. This is certain to result in
bringing greater assurances Of CO.
operation to the growers in order
to insure to them cost plus rea-
sonable profit on the labor and
capital each year invested in the
growing of cotton.
The South has too long ignored
the value of utilizing federal legis-
lation and federal machinery for the
benefit of its agricultural, commercial
and financial industries. The prog
ress of this section has been retarded
therefrom. The thought of the lead
crs Of the South and that of the great
masses of our people needs to be
changed on these vital subjects. Gov
crnment is for the benefit of the great
masses of the people and not for GER
certain specialized interests. In this
work influential publications, such as
The News and Courier, can render a
most valuable service in endorsing
activities of the government for
wholesome legislation for the benefit
Of Southern agriculture.

qucntly and can be made by any far
mer who follows the simple directions
furnished upon application. The OBJ
Ject is to keep the cotton thoroughly
busted until the weevils are under
control. This may require varying
number of applications of poison, de-
pending on the season, and other con-
ditions. If wcevils should become
sufficiently numerous to severely in
Jure the young bolls, one or two more
applications late in the season should
be made.
In case of heavy rain within
twenty-four hours after dusting, the
application should be repeated i'm
mediately. Always carefully select
ed plot of cotton should be left un
poisoned for comparison with the adj
joining poisoned tract This will
help to determine how much the Weld
was increased by poisoning.
