COTTON ASSOCIATION
WILL BEGIN DRIVE
CONTINUED from first page)

of exactly the same grade, color and
l'staple belonging to other members.
Good cotton is not mixed with bad.
"Sales are made, by the Association,
throughout the year; instead of dump
ing all the cotton onto the market at
one time. When the mills are anxious
enough for cotton to pay fair price
for it the Association sells them some.
Additional money is sent to men,
bers from time to time, as sales are
made. When all has been sold the
total received for the cotton in each
pool is determined. This total is di-
vided by the total pounds to the pool,
to determine the price per pound. Each
members total pounds is multiplied
by the average price to arrive at the
total amount due him. From this is
subtracted only the actual marketing
expense and the amounts he has al
ready received. The balance is sent
to him. Each member gets the same
price per pound as is paid to other
members for the same class cotton.
The fellow who ships thousand bales
is settled with on the same basis as
the fellow who ships one bale. Each
member is charged with the expense in
exactly the same way. There is no
opportunity for discrimination in the
matter Of CHASING or selling cotton.
The classers never know whose cotton
it is they are CHASING. The sales
manager does not know whose indivi.
dual cotton il is that is being sold.
He only knows the kind of cotton he
is selling. The accounting department
credits the sales to the proper pools
and the members who have cotton in
those pools participate in the proceeds.
"The Association sells nearly as
direct to the spinner as is possible.
This eliminates the expenses and pro-
fits of unnecessary middlemen. Grow
ers heretofore have always received
considerable less for their cotton than
the spinners paid for it. The middle
men had to have profit and get their
money back
Overhead expenses 1929 amount
ed to $111 per bale and the insur-
ance, storage and etc. cost S4.23, a
total of 1884 After paying that,
those who belong got more than $4,000
a bale above what was paid to grow
ers who sold on the streets, The As
sociation has not quite finished with
the 1924 crop, It handled about
10000 bales in 1929.
"2jOO00 cotton growers are already
members of the Cooperative Cotton
marketing Associations in the - cot
ton growing states
"Growers who join the Arkansas
Association this year win sign an
agreement, by the terms Of which they
agree, TO sell their 192+25-26 crops
through it. A membership fee of $1,000
is charged, 1t viii be deducted from
money received from the sale of cot
ton this year. After that members
have nothing more to pay, except their
, proportion Of the expenses each year.
There is no such thing as annual dues.
Nobody gets any "rale-off' or pro-
it. Salaries are paid to those who
do the work. The balance, except
actual expenses, is paid to the mem
bers. By joining the Association the
Grower relieves himself of all worry
or trouble with reference TO selling
his cotton. Experts at that business
win be at work for him."

SELLS MOONSHiNE AS GOOD STuFF,' PAID FOR TT IN
 COUNTERFEIT $2o NOTES

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-With the re- moval of Edward c. Bronson, Kan sas City, Mo, where he is to stand trial on a charge of having circulated s20,00O worth of bogus $20 notes, a remarkable story of double cross came to light.
 Bronson, who confessed having cir culated the spurious notes, said that several months ago he entered into negotiations with a group of Chicago saloonmen.
 Branson said he could deliver a large amount of "pre-war" Kentucky liquor and the former dispensers agreed to take s20,000 worth, c. O.. D. Bronson admits that he delivered raw moonshine, but that he received his money in cash and thought he had worked the double cross. Soon after, however, he found that the money was counterfeit, and then pur- chased an automobile and with four companions passed the m0Ley ill the Weste' states.
 His companions were arrested, con- victed and sentenced from one to IS years imprisonment, but none told

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
 RAVAGES BRITISH FARMS

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The disastrous epidemic of foot and mouth disease, which has been ravaging the farms Of England and some parts of Scot land for several months past shows no signs of abating in spite of the stringent methods employed for it's suppression by the Board of Agri- culture.
 The authorities main effort to means of the slaughter of all ami malls on the farm where the out break has been discovered, the ere mating of the affected carcases and prohibiting also the movement of cat tie from large area.
 Of late there has been a falrly general demand among sections of the agricultural community that iso- lation of the infected animals should be tried as against the official policy of slaughtering. Under such a scheme of isolation whole areas would be placed practically within a ring fence and agriculture within it's boundaries would be almost at standsill The duration of isolation would depend up on the violence of the disease and other circumstances and to enforce the regulations huge staffs of officials would be required Up to the pres ent the county of Cheshire has beer most seriously affected by the dis ease.

SEEK RETREAT
 CARIBOU HERDS

Among the missions Dr. Ralph Smith and his associate geologists and topographers will combine with their exploration of the Colville river ba- sin this summer will be an effort to determine the migratory habits of the caribou and where he hides himself when journeying north.
 Gerald Fitz-Gerald, topographer With the exploration party, made in quiries around Point Barrow in an effort to elicit information as to the habits of the animals when on the Arctic slope, but, he says, he was unable to glean any authentic infor. nation. He is sure the animals do not finger to the west of the Col vile river, but hopes to encounter evidence to the east of the grea, stream that will shed some light on the matter.
 Willie in the north both Dr. Smith and MT. Fitz-Gerald will study the fossil remains found in the rocks of the region and thereby hope to con. meet up the chain of circumstantial evidence indicating that the mann. moth or mastodon roamed far into the Arctic before a cataclysm of na ture overwhelmed them and extin. quished them from the earth.
 Among the legends they will en deavor to trace to their origin are those to the effect that there is still an unnamed valley between the Col vile and Porcupine rivers in which natives claim to have discovered monster tracks and evidence of some species of prehistoric mammal wan dering around. There are regions into which it is impossible to per suade an Arctic coast Eskimo to ven ture owing to these legends
 A similar condition is ascribed to the Coppermine river region oi Canada, where two missionary priests were killed in 1915. Among
  the evidence adduced at the trial of two eskimos who did the killing was that to the effect that the priests tried to force them to cross the en. chanted country, or where the big beasts roamed. The same story was told in connection with the killing oi Radwell, the American explorer, ir the barren region between the head waters of the Chipman river and the Coppermine river
 While the exploration party con sider the matter as a myth they will said Dr. Smith, keep an eye open fol any evidence indicating the last stand of the mammoth whose bones are, from time to time, unearthed in placer mining.

Thousands of children are growing up in dire ignorance and still these teachers will resolute on the political phase of the subject, but say nothing of the real problem, to-wit, that every child IS entitled to chance at the public schools
 second: Teachers DeplOre Attempt to Make
 Mr. Hendelsons Job Elective
 The announced purpose of this resolution is to :eep that office out of politics." The facts or !le matter are th"t this resolution keeps that office in politics.
 Politics in Alaska sharply divided on the one hsnd highly concentrated and active little gang desire to rule ruin, on the other hand IS the attempt of the people of Alaska to re- gam control of their government. Mr. Hen deIson was put into office by the former bunch At that time he was a Democrat, but the name of the machine has changed and he is now a Republican. His support comes from Governor Scott C. Bone Bert Faulkner R. E. Robertson Rev. George Bruce and that small coterie of friends" These men well aware of the fact that were that office to be made elective, Mr. Henderson would have hard digging to keep his $4,0OO job.
 On the other hand, the real Alaskans, citizens who are not actuated by personal friendship for MT. Henderson, but who are considering the matter of responsible government, are asking that all public offices in Alaska be made cleo tive.
 What argument can anybody bring against al- lowing the people to choose their own rulers or servants? Why must we continue this govern lnenC ana alOW a gentleman from New fork to place his faVOrites? It may easily happen that MT. Henderson might be elected to his off, fice but in that case maintain that such an event would te all right and proper If the ,eople want him, they should have him by doing the appointing themselves.
 Most of our Alaskan school teachers are mi gratory birds anyhow, and their resoluting on political matters is highly improper. Thirty four out of the eighty have never been in Alas Ea before, and perhaps fifty of the eighty will leaveforever next Spring. They come to Alaska for sort of excursion at public expense.
 Third; Their Income Tax
 These teachers primarily interested in themselves. They come to Alaska for two rea- sons, either they cannot get a suitable job ill the States, or else. they can get more money" by coming to Alaska
 The problem of promoting 1OOH literacy by providing schools entirely overlooked by them It never occurred to them that they might resolute and get the Territorial Officials Q nTOVido schools for all hey citizens Rut they

 undoubtedly be introduced again, it says that there are two ways in which the literacv test could be made into law, the first is by an Act of congress; the second Is by Law of this Terri tory.
 The Seward editor despairs of secu1ing a law thru congressional enactment and therefore says that "our only hope' is thru the territorial leo lsIatule, and further Tt has been questioned whether the Territory has the right to pass such a law Tn view of the Enabling Act which has oeen construed by eminent lawyers as prohibit Ing the Legislature from assuming such powers or passing on such enactments * But even though such itercy test was held to be in valid, it's passage by the Territorial Legislature would undoubtedly call the attention of Congress to the necessity of such law
 Our position has always been that laws must De passed in good faith, not for the purpose o1 filling our courts with law cases, or irlitatino any group of citizens, but in honest conformity With sincere purpose to pass laws that are con- stitutiOnal.
 The District Court of the First division has lu!ed cn the point raised by the Seward Gate way ln the of United States versus Charlie Jones, last Fall. l hope the Seward editor vii! read it, providing literacy really means some thing to him.
 Some testimony was introduced on the point that the defendant had keen refused certifi- cate of citizenship, authorized by an act of the Territorial legislature of 1915 * * and therefore Jones should have known that he was not citizen. 1 instruct you that the fact that certificate under the territorial law, was refused the defendant is not even prima facie evidence that he not a citizen under the act of Congress of Feb s, 1887. The Congress of the United States that date, specified what Indians should be citizens of the United States and no state, territory or authority has any power or authority to modify or add to that statute which provides that an Indian who is Eoln in the United States and residing within the jurisdiction thereof who has voluntarily taken up his residence separately and apart from any tribe and adopted the habits of civil ized life, is citizen of the United States and entitled to all the rights, privileges and mmuni- ties the1eOf.'
 We almost despair of proving to certain liter ates that the issue of the Literacy Bill is not raised in good faith because the legislature is without power to enact a law on that subject This issue is raised for entirely different pul- pose; toWit, to appeal to prejudice and to get the minds of the people off the real issues which are, first, passage of the Controller Bill; second abOishment of the fish traD: thild thn

Congress Passes Bill
Providing Improved
Reports on Ginnings
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The
house late Tuesday passed the bill
of Senator Harris, Of Georgia, which
had already passed the senate and
now is en- route to the White House
for presidential approval, requiring
more complete reports from the
census bureau covering cotton
ginned." Ii is stipulated by the bill
that each year the census bureau
shall make ginning reports prior to
the following dates: August J. Au-
gust 10, September /, September 16,
October 1, October IS, November /,
November IA, December /, Deem
Der 10, January 16 and March /.
The bill also requires the census
ginning figures to be published at
the same time as the cotton crop
estimates of the department OF agri-
culture.
Senator Harris says he believes
the legislation will cause more re-
liable statistics on the cotton crop
and reduce the chances of the gam
blers using the figures to depress
the cotton market in speculation.
A companion bill introduced by
Senator Harris covering changes IN
the cotton crop reports of the de-
partment of agriculture has passed
the senate and is pending in the
house committee on agriculture.
