to relieve the cotton storage situa- ' ''
tion in the South. !
These branches of the government
have joined in assisting cotton
planters and railways of the Soutlr ^
in meeting the extraordinary demancfi
for the storage of cotton occasioned!
by the Kuopean war.
The commission, in an announce-Jca
ment of new tariff and transporta- '
tion regulations made today, says
that "for the purpose of providing ce
temporary warehousing space for the j,a
storage of cotton, under arrange- co
ments approved by the secretary of at
the treasury and the federal reserve y,
board; and for the purpose of
permitting the carriers to recognize co
the warehouses as points for the storage
of cotton, in order that such p(
points should be given the benefit of ,\]
transit privileges, the intersate com- th
merce commission has authorized cj,
the carriers of the South to publish pc
and file tariff's establishing on their fr
lines rules, regulations and charges aj,
governing the storage of cotton dur- pa

more important, the financial SVI
situation which, to cotton planters, '
has become serious on account of the
difficulty in marketing the cotton
crop. With warehouse receipts for ' *'
their cotton the planters will he able
to realize at once upon it and then
may wait a favorable time for forwarding
the crop to final destination.
The expense of the shipments and
warehousing has been fixed at a 81
minimum. Ul

- A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
? Southern (iovernors ami Agricultural
Officials Confer With
B Congressmen.
B Washington, Sept. 26.?Curtallr
ment of cotton production next year
because 01 tne nuge amount or the
1 1914 crop remaining on hand
1 through the Suspension of the European
market was discussed today by
governors and congressional delegations
of the South. At a preliminary
[ conference committee consisting of
a senator and two representatives
" from each state were selected to
meet with the governors later in the
day and devise a formal plan for ac"
eomplishing crop curtailment.
5 The morning meeting showed
there is some difference of opinion
" as to whether legislation should be
" state or federal. Senator Iloke
' Smith, of Georgia, and several other
J congressmen held that each state
! should act for itself, passing laws
that would limit next year's crop to
' 5(> per cent of the 1914 yield. Many
of the governors, however, believed
a federal law should be enacted tnx'
ing excesBtve production either by
the pound or by the acre.
The preliminary conference was
expected to complete :ts work in
1 time to present a plan to the otien
meeting tonight, which will he attended
by all congressmen from the
cotton states, ofllcials of the department
of agriculture and other government
representatives.
\ plan for federal taxation al'
ready has been formulated by some
8 Southern congressmen which would
} fix a tax of 10 cents a pound on all
cotton produced in excels of half the
lit 14 crop. Another proposal, was a
1 tax of $20 on each acre planted in
cotton in excess of 50 per cent of the
" 1 !> 14 acreage. Hoth proposals have
had many supporters, but it was not
8 indicated at the preliminary confer8
ence which would be favored in the
finhl plan.

1 Southern governors and agricultural
