BANKER ENDORSES COTTON
MARKETING ASSOCIATION
c. ii. Roper Sees Advantages to Farm
crs OF Cooperative Selling.

That the Southern farmer knows how

ing association to profitably sell his
cotton after it is grown, was the Opin-
ion OF Mr.. G. II. Roper, cashier Of the
Enterprise National Bank, who, when
interviewed On the subject by the Ad
vertiscr reporter, endorsed tNe mar
kcting plan Of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers cooperative Association.
Mr. Roper has made careful sur
vey Of the farmers problems and was
Of the opinion that the selling end Of
cotton was Of as much, or more i'm
portancc than that Of it's growing, and
that this important part OF the bust
ness Of farming has been sadly neg
lected
"The marketing plan Of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association is at present the only
movement that can remedy the condi-
tios now existing, and will result in
inestimable good by minimizing the
weather damage Of cotton, since one OF
it's plans is to have the cotton that is
pledged to the association, shipped to
their warehouses as soon as it is
ginned" said Mr.. Roper.
When asked what possible effect the
association may have on the price Of
cotton, Mr.. Roper stated that while
that was hard to ascertain, he was in
clined to believe that cotton sold
through the association would return a
better price than cotton sold otherwise,
since the association would sell in
large quantities Of specified grade
and few individual farmers are able
to sell in that manner.
at would be WE'LL" concluded Mr.
Roper, "for every farmer to acquaint
himself with the purpose OF the mar
keting association, and realizing its
great possibilities, give it his full CO.
operation"

The Child Labor Laws.

Among other trumphs for the Wilson adn1in-
istration the democrats are now listing the pas
sage Of child labor laws. The first was enacted
and became operative on September |, 1916. 1t
was later held to be invalid the second was made
law in 1912 and it, too has been held up by the
courts. What credit is due the democrats for
these laws!
The record shows that in either case if it
had not been for votes Of republican representa-
tives and senator's the bill could not have been
passed. Democrats from the cotton growing
states Of the south almost to man voted against
the measures, just as they voted against woman
suffrage. Each time the law has been attacked
in southern state, North Carolina, and each
time it has been declared invalid by the same
federal judge, whose affiliations political are
democratic.
That same democratic congress gave US the
Adamson law. Of which its parents make little
boast nowadays, because neither the men nor
the managers Of the railroads have reaped any
special benefit from it. The children Of the south
are still exploited and most Of the southern demo-
Gratis who voted against the child labor laws still
sre serving their constituencies in congress.
Therefore, it may suit the purpose Of the party
10 parade the law in Nebraska as a triumph, but
il is not often mentioned as an achievement
down in that section from which most Of the
democrats 60 to Washington.

A Challenge to False Pretence.

State Senator Randall shows no sign OF rais-
ing white flag in the face OF democratic attacks
upon state taxes. As candidate for the rcpub-
can nomination for governor, he says:
II is we'll known that the state takes less
than one fifth OF every dollar paid over the
counter OF the county treasurer We are
iorcby reminded that the cure for the tax bur-
den TO a large extent is at home. in the coun-
ties towns and school districts. / favor a
program Of economy but do not think OBJ
serving people will be fooled into believing
that governor or legislature can cure an evil,
the remedy for which lies principally in the
hands of the people in their own local gov
crnment.
That meets the issue raised by the democratic
spell-bndcrs. Can they prove their cases Can
they show wherein the state budget can be cut
substantially, where it can be reduced enough
that it may be felt by the individual taxpayer?
Already the state administration has made re-
ductions aggregating several hundred thousands
of dollars, made possible by lowered costs and
by the elimination of certain activities. What
other specific reductions or eliminatons will the
democrats make?

Cost of Production" :"

A thing TO be remembered 10 thar no nation
nor community can prosper through buying
goods at less than the cost OF production. any
more than man can iit himself by his boot.
straps
This truth has been demonstrated in the case
OF agfieul,ufe-il ought not to require further
proof. All losses in unpsodue,ive and un-
remuneratiye enterprises are borne by the com.
munily. This Is not bad thing Tor people to
hold IN mind in period when business Is push
ing toward stsbilization.
Decentralization OF markets does not help any
one-esen consumers. II prices OF any product.
from raw material TO manufactured articles fall
below fair level this means loss OF time. labor
and money and the decentralization OF industry.
The interests OF mankind arc so closely knit
that the ruin OF one member affects all. Low
prices have no particular virtue in themselves
unless they are secured through a reduction OF
COS, in production. Low prices that close down
factories and produce unemployment arc costly
In the long run.
What every farmers organization hopes for in
It's heart OF hearts is to see prices based on the
cos, OF production. This, many will say. is i'm
possible Of achievement. yet Il is exactly what
various combinations OF business concerns aim
at. and is at the basis OF the open price associa-
tions. The attitude OF the public toward this
new form Of competition varies with the amount
OF confidence it has in the parties concerned.
