American Cotton

The area available for cotton production IN the
United States is so large that American farmers viii
be able to satisfy the increasing world demand for cot
ton for many years to come. in the opinion Of III. ~
J. Spillman, economic analyst Of the bureau oil agri-
cultural economies. United States department Of agri-
culture.
There Il a possible extension Of cotton area
amounting to ten million acres in Texas alone" he
says, "and there are other large areas that may yet
be devoted to cotton in New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia, to say nothing OF possible extension Of cotton
northward The extension n~orthward now includes
about thrce-fifths Of the state Of Tennessee a consld-
cradle area in western Kentucky, four counties II
southern Illinois, and there as possibilities Of mate
rial expansion in southern Missouri and Virginia, pos
sibly also in southern Kansas"
The question Of competition in cotton production
according to Or. Spillman, as not as between Ameri-
can cotton growers and possible foreign producers, but
as among American growers. The developers of for
eign producing areas, apart from local cotton growing
and marketing limitations. will be confronted with VIC
lently fluctuating cotton prices. An increasingly large
proportion of the American cotton area lies IN a ter
ritory subject either to occasional prolonged drouths
or to early fall frosts or both, with consequent years
OF low and high prices. The drop in prices in 1920
and 1927 did much to lessen the feverish activities for
the extension OF cotton acreage in Japan. China, Ar
Eontina, Brazil, and a dozen places in Africa, to say
nothing of the wild speculations about the possibilities
Of a 3~0.0O0.000 or i00OO0OO-acre crop Of cotton IN
Australia"
Discussing the vast shift in American cotton pro-
duction westward and n%orthward since 1909, DR.. Spill
man points out that IN 1909 cotton did not extend to
the western border Of Texas, though there was one
county in southeastern New Mexico which had one per
cent Of its area in cotton. At that time there were
three great centers Of cotton production in when the
cotton crop occupied more than half Of the crop area.
West Of Louisiana and Arkansas there was a So per
cent increase in the area Of cotton between 1919 and
1924. Most Of this occurred IN Oklahoma and leNas'
but there were notable increases IN Ne" MEXICO AT
IONA and California. Along the northern border OF the
cotton belt from Arkansas to Virginia. including Ten
nessee. North Carolina. and states to the nortn' 'nese

area remained fairly steady. though there was some
shifting about within each Of these states. on the az

49, cent between 1919 and 1924. In South Carolina
Georgia and Florida there was a large decrease IN
acreage. amounting for the three states taken together

TRAFFIC

What the economic loss in time wasted by traffic
congestion in city streets amounts to cannot be re
solved into dollars and cents, despite the efforts Of
the traffic experts to approximate a figure. That 1t
runs into vast sums can easily be appreciated by those
who observe the tedious delays which motorcars en-
counter in vending their way through city streets,
while parked vehicles along either curb shut off al
ways one and sometimes two potential added lanes Of
traffic.
For a motorcoach 10 consume forty minutes in COW
ering half a dozen city blocks on a rainy day cuts
down the profits Of the operating company, wastes the
time Of the passengers and reduces the number Of
customers who otherwise could travel rapidly from one
store to another on a street devoted to shopping. What
is gained by permitting a privileged few motorcars to
park in front Of shops undoubtedly Is lost by the in
ability Of many more customers to reach the stores be-
cause of the traffic congestion occasioned by parked
cars.
The problem is as acute In one city as another,
varying only as TO the proximity Of the more popular
stores. New York. Chicago. Boston. Philadelphia-alI
great cities of the United States-are confronted DIV
this situation in increasingly acute form. Chicago en-
deavored to solve il BY fOrbidding parking within the
Loop, but the strenuous objections Of merchants who
faced a temporary recession in sales initiated against
the effectiveness Of this means of e~xpediting traffic
Numerous solutions have been studied in different
eities' ranging from the construction of vast under
ground public garages to the elimination OF private
cars from the center of the city during prescribed
hours. Undoubtedly the motorcoach, the street ear
and the taxicab can best take care Of the needs of the
public as a whole, catering as they do to the great ma
Jority OF persons visiting the busy part Of each CITY,
and either the elimination Of parking or the exclusion
Of the private car from busy sections will come in time.
as cities realize the inordinate waste occasioned blythe
presence Of more vehicles than a street can aecommO-
date.

The World and All

BY Charles p. Driscol'

In all %sobriety, now that some Of the Indignation
about important recent trials has died down. | offer
the opinion that we ought TO do a little t~inkering with
our machinery Of justice. I don't believe in wiping
anything out or reforming anything. in the common
sense Of the term. But | think We ought to begin to
think and discuss, and that within the next fifty years
we ought to make certain slight changes.
There is a fairly provocative article entitled
Twelve Men in a Box" in the current issue Of The
Forum. 1t opens up the question. Of the jury system,
and whether some other system would be more de-
sirsble.
| think the jury system needs repairing here and
there. It isn't the only feature Of the judicial struc-
ture that needs attention, however.
Here Is my suggestion for improving the jury sys-
TEN. First, reduce the jury from twelve to six persons.
That might be done in a few states in a few years,
after due deliberation and plenty of talk.
Then, along about the next decade. require intelli-
gence tests for jurors. No person incapable Of forming
a rational judgment should be permitted to sit on a
jury TO decide the most important matters concerning
the life or rights Of another person.
Nothing revolutionary so far.
Well, in another century | believe it might be pos
sible to provide in some states for three professional
jurors to sit with three amateurs on every jury case.
The three professionals would be required to know
something about the basic principles Of law, and a good
deal about logic and philosophy.
Some progress toward increasing the chances for
justice would have been made by this time.
Along about this time, we should have an amend
ment to the constitution, making confessions to police
men inadmissable as evidence. Policemen are not
proper persons to use as judicial adjuncts or assistants.
Their third degree methods are notorious. Every news
paper man who knows anything knows that most con-
LESSONS are beaten out Of unwilling victims, and that
many innocent persons confess TO crimes they know
nothing about, under the strain Of police brutality.

! call to your attention a conspicuous aspect u
American religious life. Multitudes Of people are try
ing to save religion. Sometimes they are trying to
save their own religion; they feel it slipping; they have
not much left Of the original capital, with which their
childhood homes endowed them; they are somewhat des-
perately clinging to as much religion as they have left
and hope that they can save it.
Many other folk are sure about their own religion,
but they are trying to save the religion Of the churches.
They 20 about steadying the ark; they are deeply in
earnest, often militant, sometimes hysterical. They
are sure that religion somehow must be saved.
For my part, I am through trying to save religion.
That seems to me a fallacious method of approach.
The proposition upon which we are to put our minds
this morning is that the only successful way to save
religion is to get a religion that will save us. That
distinction Is profoundly important. II we are trying
TO save our religion We are on the wrong track: the
rigrt track u the discovery Of q religion that will

selves. and that can be accomplished only through or
ganization.
The equalization fee plan Of the McNary-Haugen
bill is designed for one purpose-to compel the nation
70 pay for the failure Of the farmers to organize. II
is true that under the present tariff the farmers would
be seriously handicapped, but with adjustment Of the
tariff schedules upon a basis equitable as between az
riculture and industry, that obstacle would be elimi-
mated and through cooperation and organization agri-
culture could ne established upon the same profitable
basis as industry is today.
