that thrae-fourths OF the people now
use rubber heels and large number

Miller Strongly Endorsed
By Non-Partisan Body
Sound Government Association
Declares Administration
Wise and Efficient

The Sound Government Association
Of New York, a non-partisan organiza-
tion of which Kendall B. Castle, of
Rochester, is president, yesterday came
out with a strong Endorsement of
Governor Miller's administration, In
a report made by an investigating COM
mittee Of the association it was as
serted that the Governor checked the
riot of extravaganza and the unbridled
spending of the peoples money and
cut $70,00o,000 from the estimates of
expenditures proposed by office hold
ers Of the previous administration"
The report points out that the Mil
Ter administration for the fiscal year
ended June 80 last actually spent
nearly $17,000,00O less than the ap-
propriations in force on June 80, 1921.
six months after it took Office, and
analysis shows that while ordinarily
this might not be significant, yet in
this ease it proves wise and efficient
administration"
Four outstanding facts relating to
the reduction in governmental expens es
led the committee to announce that the
Miller administration, by reason of ats
sound and business-like policy, has
brought the State of New York to the
point where it can live within it's in
come and pay for every legitimate need
Of the people with out further increases
in taxation"

tion. the. American Cotton Exchange
Inc, convicted on a charge of bucket,
ing, has consented to the appointment
of receivers for the corpore .tion to con.
serve it's assets, Justice Wagner ap-
pointed as receivers yester Jay the Hud,
son Trust Company and Henry Schnei-
der.
The receivership proceeding was
brought by James S. Mer ig, as cred
itor on an assigned claim of Ingle, Inc.
for s677, and Augustus w. Graham
president sof the American Cotton Ex-
change, who said $40 of unpaid salary
had been due him sine last August
Albert Massey, as coun sci for the ex-
change, replying to the. order to show
cause why receivers sf.ould not be ap-
pointed, said the alleg atoms of the pc
titioners were subst antially correct
and no opposition was. entered.
Since the investigation by the Dis
triot Attorney into the affairs of the
exchange, and the subsequent indict-
ment and conviction, the corporation
has had hard time to keep existing
Before that there vrss in the treasury
about $4,000, and the receipts from
trading fees amounted to about $40, ,O0O
month.
The unfavorahe publicity given the
exchange brought about sharp de-
crease of trading by the members
dropping from 2,oa4, $50 bales in De-
cember, 1921, to 1bo,2oo bales in Au-
gust, 1922. During the same period the
cash on hand wis reduced to $1,000
Members Of the exchange were forced
to quit business, and the only other
source of the corporations income,
office rent, was tn us affected.
Just now the American Cotton Ex-
change is not fu nctioning at all. 1t
was decided to suspend until the
Appellate Division decides the appeal
taken from the conviction and $4,000
fine or bucketing. Another exchange
has taken its place in the Broad Street
building, some of the American Cotton
Exchange directors having rented the
trading floor TO the National Stock.
Cotton and Grain Exchange. The occu-
pancy by the National is to begin on
ovember /, at rental of $500 a month, i,
although the petitioners for the re-
ceivership said the place had a rental
value of not less than $3.50 a month.
Mr.. Meng and Mr.. Graham, also ex-
pressed a fear that the American Cot
ton Exchange may have no place to
do business when it decides to resume
operations.

The people Of st. Lawrence County

ed also in the proposed st. Lawrence

not with the enthusiasm that they want

speech here last week discussed both
projects frankly, opposing the deep sea
canal project in the home Of It's most
ardent sponsors, and then challenged
the Democratic candidate to be as
frank on the subject when he spoke
here.
Former Governor Smith failed to sc-
cept the Governors suggestion here,
except to refer to his speech In Troy
last night, when he said he was in
favor OF immediate development Of the
great water power available on the st.

the canal projects.
