PRICE OF COTTON

Federal Officials Seek to De.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Agents Of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration today were shopping in
many cities to determine the manner in
which the cotton processing tax of-4.2
cents pound is being represented to
cotton goods buyers.
Large mark-ups in the price of retail
cotton goods are being attributed to the
processing tax alone" in some cities,
George N. Peek. chief administrator. de-
clared yesterday.
He considers this gross libel" of
the tax, which was levied for IL months,
starting August l, to raise about $780,
100000 to finance cotton production
control programs.
Peek called a conference Of Washing
ton store executives for October II to
discuss their sales practices after an in
vestigator had visited retail establish
ments here.
1t is the contention Of Peek and DR..
Frederick c. Howe, consumers counsel
for the farm agency. that the processing
tax, If passed on in full to consumers,
would represent an increase of "only a
few cents per pound of finished goods" q"
Howe said that many complaints Of

increased prices have been received
from consumers.
The tax alone does not justify many
OF the increases Of which we have COM
plants" he said, adding:
The amount Of the tax on q sheet
81 by 80 inches, containing about two
pounds Of cotton and retailing at an
average price of $1.25 is, for example,
just under 8 cents Work shirts weigh
ing nine-tenths of a pound and averag-
ing 85 cents piece, warrant a tax Of
only 31a cents.
"Overalls of just over two pounds Of
cotton average 81 AZ and should have q
tax Of about 8A cents. and on un-
bleached muslin averaging 13 cents a
yard, with one-third of pound Of cot
ton, the tax should be about l cent"

another as counsel had in no way impaired his availability as Presi- dential candidate.
 Fate had it that Senator Walsh should become Chairman of the Madison Square Garden convention, as sort of arbiter in the history making struggle between McAdoo and Alfred E. Smith, the New York Governor, and also in the religious and racial row which was bound up in the controversy over a proposed platform plank denouncing the Ku Klux Klan. Like Governor Smith, whom he refused to support, the Senator was a Catholic and so no friend of the Klan; but he told the leaders of the warning factions that as presiding officer he could show no favors as to either candi- dates or policies.
 Several times Curing those three teeming weeks tn convention was on the point of riot, and the Senator smashed several gavels in his efforts, frequently vain, to maintain some semblance of order. Many times his own fighting Irish | blood was aroused, and once or twice he threatened to clear the galleries of boisterous spectators who made the difficult work of the convention doubly hard
 When McAdoo and Smith finally were eliminated and the conven- tion in the late afternoon of a sweltering July day had nominated John w. Davis, the delegates set up a cry for Walsh for Vice-Presi- dent, and they would have stam- peded themselves into nominating him forthwith had he not declared l the convention adjourned.
 Later. informally notifying John | w. Davis of his selection as the party standard bearer, Senator /; Walsh brought some criticism upon himself by advsrting in his address to MT. Davis's former connections as counsel for wall Street inter ests." This was a subject which MT. Davis himself had viewed as having been closed by his pre-con- vention statement.

learned lawyer, but he was little known to the country.
 When it was put underway, the oil inquiry itself created scarcely a ripple, and when weeks of the in- quiry had run into months with nothing of the sensational devel- oped it was almost lost sight of. Painstaking examination of vast volumes of the record had con- vinced Senator Walsh, however, that the transaction had not been wholly in the interest of the Gov ernment. With this conviction he kept hammering away until De- heny furnished his sensational tes- timony that at the time of his negotiations with Fall for the lease to the California reserve he had loaned the Interior Secretary $l00,- 900, sending the money to Wash ington in a little black satchel'' transported by his son. This testi- mony loosed the flood gates and as disclosure followed disclosure Senator Walsh found himself one of the most talked-of men in the country.
 Friend of McAdoo
 In the closing uays of the in- quiry, many of the friends of the Senator urged him to become a candidate for the Democratic Presi- dential nomination, but he adhered to his original plan to support William G. McAdoo and in a public announcement argued that the bringing of McAdoo's name into the oil inquiry as one of the sev- eral former Cabinet officers em- ployed by Doheny at one time or

From committee room to the Senate floor and back again he delivered attack after attack on the Republican administration and was largely instrumental in forcing the resignation of one Cabinet of ficer and bringing about the indict- ment of Albert B. Fall, a former Interior Secretary, and Edward L. Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair oa charges of criminal conspiracy in connection with the leasing of the naval oil reserves. f
 Is Recognized
 Coming as it did in a national political year, this service brought Senator Walsh instant recognition from the leaders of the Democratic Party, who selected him as Perma~ : nent Chairman of the turbulent New York convention. The con4 vention would have given him further reward by choosing him for second place on the Presiden- tial ticket with John w. Davis, but he would not permit it. r
 Born at Two Rivers, Wis, on June 12, 1859, Senator Walsh startS ed out to be a school teacheY after receiving his education ili the public schools and the Unis versity of Wisconsin, but becams interested in the law and began practice with his brother, Henry c. Walsh, at Redfield, s. D., ia 1884. Six years later he moved to Helena, Mont.

Rev. Logee Asks for
Signing of NRA Pledge

Rev. F. E. Logee Of the Presbyter-
ian church addressed the Kiwanis
club Tuesday on the necessity of Sc
curing cooperation of all consumers
to insure the ultimate success of the
NRA program. The government is
asking all consumers to sign the fol-
lowing solemn pledge, he said: I will
cooperate in Unemployment by sup
porting and patronizing employers and
workers who are members Of the
NRA.'
LAS matter of fair play it is the
responsibility of employers to secure
the pledge from customers and it is
equally the responsibility of custom
ers to sign the pledge" said Rev.
Logee, because it is only by the full
est cooperation between manufacture
er, retailer and consumer that we can
pull ourselves out of the depression
as we are going to do
Discussing incidents OF his recent
vacation, part of which was spent
viewing the Century of Progress ex-
position at Chicago, Rev. Logee sug-
gested that we should all celebrate
the century OF progress sufficiently
to build firm foundation for the
cooperative program which we are
building.

of the last Republican national con-
vention, addressed luncheon group
at the Midland Club, commenting up
on the governments economic pro-
gram.
"The present administration in
Washington is definitely committed
to policy of centralized government
control" Senator Dickinson said.
Open criticism would soon appear
against the general program of gov
ernment direction Of private enter
prises, he declared.
Soon it will be claimed that re-
covery in industry will be more GER
tain and business more stable If per-
mitted to return to it's old channels
of activity" the senator said. ut is
my belief that the best business minds
are Of that opinion now"
The ultimate cost of the economic
program, he prophesied. would be
borne by the public, in the form OF
new and increased taxes.

The administration recently sus-
pended hearings in the face Of ap-
parently irreconcilable differences,
but yesterday group, including bs..s

compromise which opened the way for

The beet sugar interests agreed to
limit their commercial output for the

Previously, they had taken the atti-
tude that there should be no limit on
their output for the continental
United States.
The proposed agreement would al
locate to the various interests the
amount of sugar, up to 6,575, 900 tons,
which they might market in the Unit

Detective Stories
Declared Soothing

Geological reason why great men and
others like detective stories is out
the tales are soothing.
They cut the puse rate, lower
blood pressure and steady motor
nerves. Furthermore, women react to
them like the men.
These experiments are published by
Ray Mars Simpson, psychologist at
the Institute for Juvenile Research,
Chicago. His test readers were 40
university students, "a men and Is
women. Their ages were Is to Al.
While wearing attachments to re-
cord their physical status, they read
detective stories, history, psychology
and geography, in 15-minute periods,
for six successive days. The first,
third and fifth days were devoted to
detective stories.
The instruments showed that the
rate of breathing was consistently fas-
ter while reading detective stories, and
deeper during exciting than less
exciting tales. But this speeded up
breathing was on declining rate, the
longer they read the slower it be-
came.

judged in conflict with the injunction
restrictions, Judge Lindley will again
be asked to modify the decree 50 as to
eradicate the features in dispute,
