DIAL AMENDMENTS
MEET OPPOSITION
TO BE REPORTED UNFAVORA-
BLY, BY COMMITTEE-SOUTH
CAROLINA SENATOR WOULD
SECURE RECORD VOTE ON SEN
ATE FLOOR.

Washington, July 27.-The senate
committee on agriculture determin-
ed formally today to report amend
ments to the cotton futures act, pro-
posed by Senator Dial of South Car
olina, unfavorably.
The committee is composed of sem
ators thought to be partial to the cot
ton producers of the country. The
amendments, according to Senator
Dial, were designed further to re-
strict cotton exchanges in their op-
portunity to prey upon the produc-
ers. It was his contention that the
amendments would give purchasers
of exchanges an even break, whereas
now exchanges can deliver to pur-
chasers any one of ten tenderable
grades.
The determination of the commit
tee was reached by consent but not
by a record vote. The remarkable
feature connected with the commit
tees action was the granting of the
request of Senator Ransdell Of Louis
lana that he be permitted to prepare
the report. Senator Ransdell, in re-
|pect to the Dial amendments, moves
openly and admittedly in behalf of
the cotton exchanges Of New Or
leans which, he declares, would be
ruinously affected were the Dial
amendments to prevail.
The Dial amendments grew from
similar amendments proposed two
years ago by B. B. Conner, then a
senator from Alabama. The Conner
amendments were put through the
senate practically unanimously, the
Only opponent having been Senator
Ransdell. At that time, and since, up
to the present moment, cotton fac
tors and cotton exchanges have
fought the effort further to control
their operations.
On the committee on agriculture
are some of those Southern senators
who repeatedly declare themselves
the particular friends of the cotton
producer. Among them are Senator
Smith of South Carolina, Senator
Hefin of Alabama, who has express
ed in speeches willingness to "cut off
the heads of the exchanges" Senator
Caraway of Arkansas, who has a
bill providing for the abolition Of the
exchanges and Senator Harrison of
Mississippi. With the exception Of
Senator Ransdell no member of the
committee has openly declared him
self opposed to the Dial amendments
AS the action of the committee was
ordered without record vote, no 9TH
er senator has yet declared opposi-
tion.
Senator Dial said tonight, however
that all of them would be put on
record.

SPEAK IN LONDON-LORD
HIGH CHANCELLOR DECLAR-
ES RECORD OF YEARS WILL
REMAIN CLEAN.

London, July 27.-Sir Auckland
Eeddes, British ambassador to the
United States, and Lord Birkenhead,
|ord high chancellor, took occasion
oday at the dinner of the English
Ipeaking union in farewell to the
AMBASSADOR on his return to Wash
,hgton, to reiterate and underscore
Brevious ministerial assurances OF
he inviolability of the obligations OF
treat Britain of her debtors.
The lord high chancellor's refere-
nee to Anglo-American financial af-
airs which he termed "a delicate
ubiect," was the only materialistio
ote introduced in what otherwise
las a most felicitous exchange of ex-
1ressions of amity and good will be-
ween "the two greatest English
beaking nations"
"When we look back upon our
ing history we find no occasion
here we ever failed to meet a bond
! which we had set our hand" Lord
sirkenhead declared. "Honor and the
ability of the finance of this coun-
v require that we should be ready
meet any proper and reasonable
harge which can properly and leg
ly be laid upon US.
81 only touch upon this delicate
hbject because it is proper l should
ky plainly for the understanding OF
be citizens of this country and the
nited States that we are today the
nworthy legatees of those who for
enerations had charge of the Sc
brity and financial hegemony of the
orld.
The lord chanceIror's declarations
Few more applause than Sir Auck-
nd's afirmations few minutes lat
that far more Americans had a
comprehensive view of Great Brit
ms problems and conditions than
ritons of Americans affairs" This
attributed to the insufficiency Of
ews of the American continent ca
ed to the British press.
The ambassador, tnroagn his resi-
ence in America or the reading Of
ewspapers, which he praised so high
displayed an extensive knowledge
American slang, which he used ap-
topriately and handily throughout
S address. He also illustrated what
termed "the unbelievable ignor-
hce of Americans existing in Great
ritain." by number of amusing
hecdotes. This ignorance, however,
added, was not a one-sided affair,
= nd he urged a campaign of educa-
on "to throw light into the dark
aces in the minds of citizens of the
vo countries to remove such colos-
il ignorance" In conclusion the am
Rssador said that at present so far
official relations were concerned
. ething could be more fortunate or
lppy than the relations between
ese two governments.

New York Central Advances to

Dividend Action.
By w. 8. COUSINS.

copyright. 1912. by Cosmopolitan News
Service)
NEW YORK. June 14.--Prices on
the stock market continued to reflect
the improving sentiment in the finan-
cial district as exhibited in a better
demand for securities from local and
out-of-town sources. While some OF
the speculative leaders were inclined
to be irregular, the trend of prices
in the rails, oils and industrial stocks
were distinctly In an upward direc-
ton.
The steel stocks were not 30 quick
to respond to the bullish factors, nor
were they as active as in other sec
tions of the stock list. United States
Steel sold down to 9Sh for a loss of
Y in the first hour. and Midvale and
Republic subsequently lost q portion
Of their early advance. '
Rail Stocks In Lead.
The railroad stocks were in the
preferred position in the early trad
ing. New York Central advanced ~
points to 91h in anticipation Of favor
able dividend action by the djrectors
today. Canadian Pacific added nearly
2 points to its previous close by sell
ing up to 137h. Baltimore and Ohio.
ST. Paul common and preferred, New
Haven, Reading and Rock Island sold
almost a point higher on the average.
Mexican Petroleum responded to
the favorable situation In the Mexi-
can debt adjustment, as also to the
conciliatory attitude of the Mexlcan n
officials in the matter Of export oil
taxes, and after opening fractionally
higher at 18TH sold up to 1885.
Phillips Petroleum was active
around 53h.- and Cosden. Sinclair.
Houston OIL, and the Standard OIL
stocks showed a distinct improve.
ment In their price trend. Standard
OIL OF New Jersey sold up IN points
to l87h. 49,,
Studebalser Has Recovery.
Studebaker at 120k was nearly 4
points above the low point OF yester-
day, and only l point below the level
Of Mondays break in stock prices.
The tremendously increased business
Of the leading motor companies also
had the natural effect Of creating
wide demand for. the stocks or these
companies, and most of them snow
an appreciation Of about 90 per cent
in market prices since the turn oi
the year. ....-'
The irregularity which developed
in some sections OF the market near
the noon hour was attributed to the
offerings OF stock that had been
bought Tuesday for the purpose OF
supporting the market. This de-
veiopment was not unnatural, II be
ing recognized as the logical secon
dairy reaction to the first break In
prices that occurred on Monday.
There were no important changes
in money and business conditions
Call money loaned and renewed al
per cept. Cotton and grain prices
were slightly higher and foreign ex
change rates lower.

APPROXIMATION

Some time ago the third annual con-
vention of the Oklahoma Educational
Association was held at which DR.. Jas.
]. Tigert, United States commissioner
of education, spoke of the problems
which present themselves in the pro-
cess of "Americanization' of foreign
ers. He declared that the blame ought
to be laid with the American citizens
who disdain to associate with foreign
ers, and call them such names as "da-
goes" frogs. Z 'wops.' and ''bo-
hunks" and encourage their children
who are compelled to associate with
the immigrant children in the public
schools to call them such names and
to despise them.
Tigert scored t. American soldier
in France who ridiculed the French,
Belgians, English, and Italians. and
told stories concerning the cowardice
and other undesirable qualities of the
people and soldiers of these nations.
America will never justly earn the
name Of the greatest nation in the
world unless this snobbish attitude is
dropped forever, and system off ed
ucation is instituted where all may de
rive the same benefits and be treated
alike.

A New Tire For
Small Car Owners.

One Of the latest additions to the
tire family is the Goodrich "55' Clinch-
er made in 30x3 and 30x3H sizes only,
and judging from the general impress
sion on the trade the "55" is real
accomplishment and reflects much
credit on it's makers.
The appearance of the tire as a
whole is particularly inviting, with its
full size cross-section dimensions, and
a rugged non-skid tread design which
strikes one as being very effective.
All in all the "55" tire is another
excellent example of the effort being
put forth today by the efficient pain
stalking, anxious-to-serve type of Am
erican manufacturer who gets down
to bedrock and produces meritorious
goods to be sold at fair figure. Good
rich has made it easy for small car
owners to ride on we'll made tires
and at price that is within reach of
all.
With the addition of this new "55''
tire the B. F. Goodrich Rubber COM
pany rounds out its tire line for 1922

The 30x3H size which will sell to the
user for $1,000 fills a long-felt want
For some time past the demand has
been for lower priced quality tire
in the 30x5H size. The Goodrich
company has refrained from bringing
out a tire of this class until it could
assure users of high standard of
quality. The S. which takes its
name from the design of the tread, is
developed and built to give the usual
Goodrich service and mileage for ev-
cry dollar invested in it.
Goodrich continues to build the well
known 30x3H Safety Fabric and Sill
vertown Cord cases. The new tire
merely serves to complete the line
which has earned such an enviable
position in the industry.
