thinks the trohble is' found in the fact
that the Southern producer is at the
mersy Of stock exchanges. He would
abolish the exchanges, but would not
regulate them as Senator Dial OF
South Carolina would regulate them
that is, require them to deliver that
which they agree to deliver. Senator
Heflin of Alabama has cried. Cut off
the heads of the exchanges" ut in the
senate committee on agriculture, he
aered that Senator Ransden of Louis

New Orleans stock exchanges. write
the adverse report on the Dial bill.
I, Senator Smith Of South Carolina,
,deploring the condition Of the south
ern nlanter-and he is one, himself
opposes the Dial proposition on the
ground Of his fear that differentia-
ton as between grades would imply
difference in the value of cloth pro-
duced from different grades. In ad-
vocating the abandonment Of cotton
planting in the South for one year,
Senator Smith referred to the outra-
geous fact that the price Of cotton is
set by manipulators in Liverpool. Dial
says the nanipulators are in New
York
The idea exists that there are ma
nipulators in both centers. outherners
can not get together in a determined
effort to prevent manipulation.
There is no attempt on the part9of
anyone to deny that-for the failure Of
Southern senators effectively to legis-
late in the interest of cotton, Southern
senators are solely responsible.
Senators from the West are willing
to act respecting cotton just as sena-
tors from the South tell them to act.
But they will do nothing as long as
each southern senator has his own
remedy, and raises a storm of protest
whenever any other senator from the
South attempts to secure relief.
In the meanwhile, from the boil
weevil and exchanges cotton continues
to suffer. The west agrees that the:
South shall have that legisla ton it re-
quires provided the South asks 70 it,

WOULD SklF' YEAR
IN COTTON CRCP

Washington, Sept. 10.-Senator E.
D. Smith Of South Carolina. announc-
es that he Will introduce a joint house
and senate resolution providing for CO.
operation between the federal govern
ment and cotton producing states in
making it possible for the South to
forego the planting and growing of
cotton for one year. The object of
the proposed resolution will be the ex-
termination Of the boil weevil by elm
mating the only plant on which he
feeds.
The proposed resolution will preci-
pitate extensive discussion provided it
is ever seriously considered in con-
gress. Senator Smith denies that the
government has the right Or power to
dictate to a sovereign state what it
shall not plant. He holds, however,
that a sovereign state may sos dictate
to it's citizens, or that it's citizens will
voluntarily and unanimously agree to
grow no cotton with the understand
ing that the federal and state govern
ments will pay certain premium on
every acre planted in crops for which
there will be no money market.
The. South Carolina senator holds
that If the states east of the Mississ-
ipp river would plant no cotton one
year, and the states west Of that river
would plant no cotton the succeeding
year. the boil weevil would suffer ex-
termination:
Government reports recently pub
ished proved that nothing has been
devised capable Of coping with the
weevil. He destroys third of the
crop at cost OF 81. 200. 900, 900 per an
mum. Senator Smith declares that
unless he is exterminated, it viii be
impossible, Iii the future, for the south.
to produce cotton and clothe the,
world.
He made the point that the problem
is not sectional but national and inter-
national. He declared that if the
south is deprived of its only money
crop, the south would be eliminated as
a market for the manufactured prod
ucts Of other sections. He beholds the
South which has weathered the storms
of centuries, destroyed by an insect.
Southern senator's all admit that
something is wrong. For the
South with a monopoly demanded by
the civilized world, is miserably poor
as far as its real producers of that
monopoly are concerned. But South
ern senator's have never been able, in
recent years, to define the trouble in
such wise that the world would accept
without question the definition. The

PASSENGERS ARE SAFE
on SGUTHERN'S TEAMS

Washington. D. c., September 10.
Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
southern Railway System. said to-
day:
Since the management Of the South
ern resumed the operation of it's prop
erty on Marc: 1. 1920. at the end of
federal control, it has had the comfort
OF being able to record, month by
month, that no passenger has lost his
life by accident while on one Of its
trains. What this means by way Of
forethought throughout the organiza-
ton responsible for the passengers
safe conduct Will appear in the fact
that during those thirty. months, end
ed August 81, 1922, the Southern's 8
trains carried passengers equivalent in
number to nearly .,alf the population
OF the United States, and carried them
under waving conditions, providential
and human, including stress of wealth
er and stress Of strike.
On the other hand, during the same
period, there has been steadily grow
ing toll Of fatal accidents q at road
crossings. resulting in loss Of life to
passengers in automobiles. It is,
therefore, apparent that the drivers of
automobiles; have not been as sue
cessful in rotecting their assengers as
fhe railroad has been: It. cannot be
questioned that the social duty Of pre-
caution rests as much upon one as
upon the other.

With those words, State Deputy Fire

acterized the situation in Brattleboro as
far as fire hazards are concerned.
Following an inspection yesterday of
certain buildings in town, Marshal Preble
saic to The Reformer this morning that
the recent recommendations made by the

of Boston should be carried out. and that
the village commissioners should get busy

Marshal Preble arrived in Brattleboro
yesterday morning and spent most of the
day inspecting various buildings in the
business center He found the fire haz-
ard in some buildings very bad. Among
other places which he visited was a GER
tain r0oming house where conditions had
not been improved a particle, since the
marshal made previous investigation
At that time certain recommendations
were made and promises -aade to the
marshal that conditions would be rene

proved that nothing had been done.
This morning Marshal Preble asked a
representative of The Reformer to accom-
pany him to a certain back alley not far
from Main street, and pointed out the
ard in a business block on the Main
street. At the rear of one store was a
large pile of boxes, pasteboard cartons,
excelsior etc. Going down into the cell
lar. the rear door of which was open, the
marshal pointed out congestion of sim
liar infiammable material stored IN the
rear.
The attention of the proprietor of the
store was called to the situation. He said
he knew it ought to be removed, but his
partner was away, and with the Christ
mas rush and all he was too busy to re-
move it"
But suppose somebody dropped a
lighted match or a cigarette into this
stuff where would you be?' the marshal
queried.
Mr.. Preble thereupon warned the pro-
prietor that the stuff must be cleaned out
at once or a warrant for his arrest would
be forthcoming. Other warnings also
We're issued TO persons about town who
are permitting unnecessary fire hazards
TO exist and who have not profited by pre-
vious recommendations. If the warnings
are not needed. the marshal said the To-
cal municipal court would be very busy
