Atlanta Journal News Bureau,

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Bills
designed to insure better cotton crop
estimates and ginning reports were
introduced in the senate today by
Senator Harris, of Georgia, and sim
liar bills in the house by Represent,
ative Rankin, of Mississippi and
Representative Swan, of Oklahoma.
They are members of a sub-commit-
tee of southern senators and con-
gressmen who have been studying
the cotton crop estimates and re-
ports for several weeks. The bills
presented today have been agreed
upon by the members of congress
and Officials of the department of
agriculture and the bureau Of CEN
Sus.
One bill will stop the cotton acre
age estimates Of the department of
agriculture based on farmers inten-
tions to plant, as many protests
have been received from the south
on the grounds that the estimates
were not accurate. The otAer bill
will call for semi-monthly cotton
crop reports by the department of
agriculture and ginning figures by
the bureau Of census to be published
simultaneously. The estimates must
be approved by departmental!
board of officials in touch with cot
ton conditions.

President Approves
New Farm Loan Bill
To Aid Northwest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today gave his unquali-
fled Endorsement to the Norbeck-
Burtness bill for government loans
to northwestern farmers for pur-
chase of live stock.
The president announced his In
dorSement OF the measure after con-
ferenCes with members of the house
agricultural committee to whom he
offered his assistance in bringing
about it's enactment. The bill is
based on a plan worked out by DR..
John Lee Coulter, of the South Da-
kota Agricultural college, and Fred
ericll e. Murphy, publisher of the
Minneapolis Tribune, both of whom
held several conferences with Mr.
Coolidge last fall.
Mr.. Coolidge regards the measure
as directly in line with the recon-
mendation in his message to con-
gress that such loans as are wisely
needed to assist buying stock and
other materials should be financed
through a government agency dis a
temporary and emergency eXpedient.
Safeguards should be thrown about
these loans. Mr.. Coolidge believes. so
that farmers taking advantage of
them could not be fOreClosed by 9TH
er creditors.

GOVERNOR PEAY
GIVES PLAN To PAY
FOR ROAD BUILDING

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. o.
Governor Peay, in a statement to-
day giving in detail the ad1ninistra>
ton plan for financing an $4,000
state highway construction pro
gram, expressed a willingness for
the legislature, when it convenes:
to respond to a popular demand OF
the people, If there be such mani
fest" and submit the question Of
referendum for the issuance of
bonds for a decision by the people
while the body takes a recess.
"The people can express them
selves at the ballot box as to how
much debt they are willing to incur
for road building, and under what
terms. - the executive stated. Il
agreed to such a referendum while
the last legislature was IN session."
he said.
The governor promised that the
state would build ten million dol
lars worth of highways in 1924, and
said that the safest plan to follow
would be to issue short term notes
to supplement the highway funds
now available.
He discouraged the issuance of
a SIS 900, 900 bond issue by the state.
which he said would require the
payment Of $63,150OOO as interest
on the debt. Under the administra-
ton plan, he asserted, approximate
ly $60,Q00,000 CT this interest charge
would be avoided and this he pro-
posed to spend on the maintenance
Of these roads and building of other
roads.
He said that there was no main
tenance fund provided in the $751;
0000 600 proposal, ana that that was
one great unmovable feature to
which the administration objected.
Investigation will show that
SO, 100000 annually can be provid-
ed if the current road revenue in
creases 25 per cent annually, and
the roads can be completed without
standing notes to the amount of
$500 900; or $1O,971, 900 if these
revenues only increase 20 per cent
annually. and no more than S14,-
$40 900 if they increase only Is per
cent annually" Governor Peay said.
