COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS
HAVE NO QUARREL WITH
REAL COTTON MERCHANTS

from the distributing system
any man, or any business group,
whose service in distribution is
worth what it costs This is
good economics. There should
be no place in the system of dis
tribution for so-called service,
that costs more than it is worth,
let alone such activities as are
in the nature of obnoxious en-
cumbrances rather than of in
strumentalit,Cs of service, but it
is an undeniable fact that there
have long been such agencies in
the processes of distribution, and
if the co-operatives will elimi-
nate them they will be render
ing a distinct service.
within the short space OF
two years, so l am informed, the
cotton co-operatives have been
organized in nine states and af-
filiated for the interchange of
information and service, and will
handle a considerable percent
age Of this years crop. The
growers of tobacco, in the same
length of time. have so pro-
crossed in organizing that prac-
tically two-thirds of it will be
sold comparatively. Both types
of organization have demonstrate
ed the soundness of their meth
DDS and the sanity of their lead
ers. Grain organizations are
steadily spreading over the grain
producing areas, on the same
plan.
Benefits Everybody
eff continued and extended
on the lines heretofore pursued
under capable and clear-sighted
leadership, this movement should
have the effect not only of con-
tributing materially to the well
fare and contentment of it's direct
constituents, the farmers, but
should prove of benefit to the
financial, commercial and econ
omic structure as whole,
venture to suggest that such
bankers and other business men
as are uniformed on the prin-
ciples, aims and methods of the
marketing co-operatives might
well make it a point to acquaint
themselves Herewith and, if
their investigations leads them
to approve and commend the
movement, as 1 believe will be
the case, they should lend such
assistance, moral and actual, as
their positions may enable them
to give.
The farmers calling, always a
hard and hazardous and usually
a poorly requited one, indeed,
one of the least adequately remu-
nerated among the activities
which make up the sum total of
the total of the nations work,
is, of course, absolutely basic
and vital. The farming business
is the largest in the country.
The direct farming population
constitutes considerably more
than one-third Of the cOuntrys
total. The farming stock pro
vides a continuous and essential
supply of human raw material
toward the preservation of the
vigor and distinctive charac-
teristics of the American race.
Everybody but the Farmer
with wages continuing on
a high level, and in some cases,
such as the coal miners, wholly
undeflated from the peak reach
ed during war conditions, with
the supply Of labor greatly re-
stricted through the operations,
of the immigration act, with
the cost of everything he buys
much above the level of pre-
war days, the farmer finds
that the dollar price Of that
which he produces and sells is
no higher than it was before

BLOCK
SENATE BUSINESS IN
LYNCH||VC BILL FIGHT
Republicans Warned Even
Nominations viii Be Held
Up-Tuesday's FiIibuSter
Lasts Three Hours

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-vDemo.
Gratis in the senate, after g. three
hour filibuster Tuesday, notified Re-
publicans they proposed to block all
business including action on noml-
nations so long as the majority con-
tinued it's endeavors to pass the Dyer
anti-lynching bill.
When Republican leaders sought
to bring before the senate today the
Dyer bill, already passed by the
house, they encountered a campaign
of opposition which speedily develop
ed into a full-fedged tllibuster.
With a motion pending to proceed
to consideration of he Dyer bill, the
Democrats led by Senator Harrison,
Of Mississippi, adopted a policy OF
insisting that the senate take up in
regular order all of the routine at
the beginning of sitting, which
generally is disposed with.
Scarcely had the chaplain conclud-
ed his prayer when Senator Harri-
son made the point of no quorum
and forced a roll call.
The Mississippi senator then OBJ
jected to the usual dispensing with
the reading of yesterdays jour lal, a
long, tedious process.
A few minutes later Senator Har-
rison broke into the reading with an
inquiry which led to a parliamentary
tangle and another roll call, the sec
opd within fifteen minutes after the
enate convened.
After twenty minutes had been
consumed in reading the journal, Mr..
Harrison again was on : feet with
an amendment to put into the Rec
ord the names of all senators re-
spending to quorum calls yesterday.
Before a roll call could be taken on
the motion Senator Smith, Demo-
crat, South Carolina, made the point
CT no quorum and another parlia-
mentary tangle resulted dur {"
which Senator Underwood, of Ala
bama, the Democratic leader, stated
he wanted ito say frankly that the
issue is that th1 majority is threat
ening to take up a, bill which we on
this side of the chamber plan to re-
sist.'
After forcing six roll calls in the
firct hour 10
wiefed in a few. remarks on the
Fordeny-McCumber tariff act.
The Mississippi senator, ir having
the journal read and insisting that
it show a. record OF senators present
and absent on quorum calls, said ne
was moved Ito remove some of the
secrecy which descended upon us
during the consideration of the tar
iff. His remarks on tariff brought
q reply from Senator Watson, r.
publican, Indiana, and then Senator
Harrison TOOK up a quarter of an
hour with a humorous discussion OF
| the recent campaign in Indiana.
In his campaign speeches in In
diana, Mr.. Harrison said he really
defended Senator Watson because
he opposed 1.-The man who a few
years ago IN effect called Senator
Watson a porch-climber and a Sec
ond-story man."
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala
bama, then did his bit in the filbuster
by launching another of his speeches
against the federal reserve board.
He also commented on newspaper re-
ports "of efforts of the old guard
to align with the progressive Re
publicans" which he said was as
Impossible as to bring the lion and
the lamb to iic down together.

BY EDWIN CAMP

~ NE measure of the public
interest centered in the CO.
- operative marketing Of cot
ton is the number of letters of
inquiry and comment which
have greeted these articles.
While the basic principle of
the marketing of farm products
on the Sap.ro plan is simple and
the manner in which these prin-
ciples are put into effect is mere
ly an expression of common
sense, many have only a be-
clouded idea of the plan and its
working out.
For example, one person asks
to know if these associations
plan to put the cotton merchant
out of business.
The answer is, certainly not.
There is no trade more honor
able than that of the cotton
merchant. There is none which
I does a greater service to its fell
low man. There is none in
which the traditions are loftier
and the personnel higher. 1t
may be further said that while
there are few in which profits
are more ample in times of pros
perity, there is none in which
the hazards always are greater.
And no one can say that the
generous profits are not just,
in view of the ever-present risks
Of the business.
The co-operatives have no
quarrel with the cotton mer-
chants as a class; the co-opera-
tives recognize that there must
be cotton merchants just so
long as there are cotton pro-
ducers who are not association
members, and there is no likeli-
hood that all of the cotton farm
ers will ever be organized.
What the co-operatiVeS do
complain about is the growing
number of small buyers of cot
ton through whose hands cotton
passes before it reaches the mer-
chant, each one of these buyers
taking his profit.
The Under-G Grading Evil
What they further complain
about is the under grading which
is the practice of so many curb
buyers. This, of course, is no
Indictment of cotton buyers as
class. Taken as a whole they
are no less honorable than any
other class Of business men. But
the temptation to under-grade is
strong; the farmer himself does
not know the classificatiOns and
there is little or no danger in
beating him out of from half
cent to more than cent
pound.
But, on this general subject of
the co-operatives toward the cot
ton merchants and the trade, OF
to Fl. Kahn, the eminent banker
who was quoted Sunday in
these articles, says:
AS I am informed, it is not
the intention of the cooperative
marketing organizations to dis
turb such present business insti-
buttons as have proved their
value, but rather to eliminate eX-
crCscences and parasites and
thus attain a greater degree of
efficiency, economy and stability
in the handling of farm prod
ucts, a consummation to be de-
sired and welcomed from the
point of view of the general pub
lie almost as much as from that
of the AGRICULTURAL classes.
Good Economics
as an official Of the Ameri-
can Cotton Growers exchange
recently remarked to me, We
have no intention of displacing

Turkey Day Short Cake
For President Harding

KISSIMMEE, Fla, Nov 90
Strawberries at this time of the
year are scarce, even in Florida, and
buyers from the eastern markets
are paying $4.25 a quart for them
at Plant City, for the Thanksgiving
trade.
Kissimmee growers are giving
them away, but it all depends upon
who the 'givee" is. They packed an
especially constructed basket with
selected berries today and expressed
it to President Harding in order
that he might have shortcake on
