Cotton futures steadied during
the forenoon, following a lower
opening. All active months went
into new low ground for the sea.
son in the first half hour.
At the first call, Liverpool cables
were slightly above due prices and
futures sold off 2 to 6 points. Fer
a time the list worked lower, but
as trade buying orders continued
to come in at levels below the mar
ket, the run of contracts staged
a small rally and managed to get
above the previous close.
Hedge Sales Gain
A moderate increase in hedge
and Southern selling took place
during the early trading. Co
operative brokers sold distant
months and there was some
liquidation from commission
houses. Professionals were sellers.
Most Of the buying was in the
form of limit orders executed for
the trade. A broker who usually
transacted business for Japanese
interest bought March.
Around noon, cotton futures
were up / to off 3 points, with
January up / at 572, March un-
changed at 5.83, May unchanged
at 5.92, July off at 500, and

RepOrted Reduced

Insolvencies in the United
States again are reduced in mum
ber, the total for the past week
as shown by records of R. G. Dun
& CO. being 46O, against 4SO and
495, respectively, in the two pre-
ceding weeks, and 492 for the
corresponding week of last year
There has been a constant move
ment downward in the number
of business defaults in the United
States for the past five weeks. AT
this period of the year the ten
dency usually is in the other di'
rection. The indications now are
that business failures for the
month of November will be the
lowest in number for any month
for more than a year.
Dun's Insolvency Index for the
three weeks of November has
taken another drop and is now
at 1923, compared with 1878 for
October and 1909 a year ago.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK. Nov. 90 U.N.s).-Ths
coarse yarn cloths market today was
easy and quiet with print cloths easing
off NC without inducing any heavy
covering. Carded broadcloths held
about steady on little inquiry, while
narrow sheetings were for tho most part
unchanged and quiet.
The lower print cloth prices were not
met, or quoted. by most mills. but there
were more goods offered than buyers
cared to cover. The few goods which
were moved were for spot or nearby
shipment and buyers for the most part
were showing little interest in even as
nearby futures as December. being fully
as conscious of the matter OF tnven-
Dtories as were mills.

WHAT is THE ANSWER
A few reasons why government should

A few reasons why government should
keep out of business:
1. Because government in business
opens the flood gates of public expendi-
lures at the taxpayers expense; many of
the expenditures being for special services
to a limited number of persons from which
services the general taxpayer, who must
pay for them, can derive no benefit.
z. It creates new classes of political
agencies and gives them unlimited power
to incur debts levy taxes and spend public
money.
s. 1t discourages industry and pre-
vents the investment of private capital in
new enterprises because a private citizen
cannot compete with tax-free, government
owned projects.
A. It invites the worst kind of poll
tical gerrymanding for promotional
schemes at public expense.
5. Each time the government goes
into business, it removes taxable property
from the tax rolls and loads the taxes thus
lost onto remaining taxable property, plus
GuulllUIidl Iet&hCS Luz new SOVCI VcI-
lures into the field of industry.
The question of the government in
business in competition with its private
citizens should be considered from the
standpoint of the principle involved, rather
than from the interest of any particular line
of business. The business itself is inciden-
tai to the principle. If we subscribe to the
theory that public ownership is good for
any business, even in a small degree, we
should be honest enough to go all the way
and sanction complete public ownership
and control of the means O production and
distribution. We should not single out one
line of business to stand the brunt of such
unfair and killing competition.
Government competition might better
apply to the local meat market, grocery
store, or clothing store, than to oc IN ship
ping, insurance, public utilities, railroads
and banking, for it is much more important
that the average family get the first three
items at cost than it is that they get the lat
ter items at cost.

THAT TARIFF COMMISSION

President Hoover in his Des Moines
speech, complained of the democratic at
tempt to deprive the president of the power
to revise the tariff rates upward or down
ward on the report of the Tariff Commits
sion and gave to his listeners the impression
that the democrats wanted toadestroy this
power of revision.
What the legislation was intended to
affect was not the curtailment of this presi-
dental power, but it's transmission from
the president to the congress.
The country may well recall the most
important suggestion of the tariff commits
sion, that of reduction of the tariff on
sugar. at time when such a reduction
would have effected a saving of upward of
one hundred million of dollars to our peo-
pie.
The suggestion was opposed by the
GREAT financial powers which control the
machinery of the republican party and
Calvin Coolidge refnsed to act on the
recommendations Of the commission.
The country has vivid recollection of
what happened to those members of the
tariff commission who criticised the presi-
Dental action i'm this instance.
One commissioner was sent as minister
to Norway and the others were summarily
disciplined. President Hoover made a
very unhappy reference in this instance.

FLYING TO MECCA

1t was with something like a shock
that the Christian world heard of the adj
vent of the railroad into Jerusalem some
wears ago Somehow 1t seemed almost like
sacrilege to invade the Holy Land with such
IN innovation.
Now the Mohammedan world IS about
10 experience similar upset of its tradi-
tons. The airplane is to replace the camel
AS means of transporting faithful pilgrims
30 Mecca.
A pilgrims transport agency OF British
India is seeking dozen airplanes TO carry
20 or more persons each for the use of the
pilgrims. Several ships are also desired
for the sea portion of the journey, from
India to the port of Jedds, Thence they
desire to go by airplane to Mecca.
II would be interesting to know what
Mohammed, himself once camel driver,
would think of the abandonment by pill
grims of that s4me-honored beast of burden
for the modern airplane.
