Following Is the text of Congressman Stevenson's recent'speech on the ' floor of the house in behalf of a srjuare deal for the cotton farmer: Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Chairman, whib I am heartily in favoi of th>- principles of this bill and think it is one that we owe to tin people who will be mumied and disabled for life, who have assumed the responsibilities that this nation has on the front, I want to talk a few minutes about a subject a little foreign to it this afternoon. In the Washington Post of May 30, a New York correspondent on the market situation contains the following which is very suggestive to the farmers of the United States gen I e rally: "Hankers view the pror?osed in|creases In Federal taxes with equanimity. They contend that if the new tax schedule is made equitable there will he no occasion for fear in Wall street. President Wilson admitted in his address that the existing statute had inequalities. The question of , equal taxation raises a point, whether cotton growers and cotton goods manufacturers will have to hear special taxes. It is alleged that cotton goods men are making as much as Sou per cent protits, and that they have es- ( cu|ted special taxation so far because of influence in congress. Nothing would please Wall street more than to see eotton taxed. It is asserted that ' the prejudice of the solid south will he overcome l>v the united influence of the rest of the country. It would also please Wall street if the western farmer were included in the new taxation programme." The question aries as to the truthfulness of some of these statements. The cotton manufacturer is taxed on his income and his excess profits just the same as the Wall street magnate. So is the cotton farmer and so is the western raiser of stock and grain. Th< statement "they have eseaissl s|?ecial taxation so far because of Influence in congivss" is not true if it means that they nro not burdened with tin war taxes im|>osfd on all in the same o'liiimrv nlik-iv If the Wall street gentry desire that s|?ecilic tax be levied on each |?otintl of cotton and on each bushel of wheat and on each yard of cloth, they would put thes? people in a different class and tax them specially. That would he a |k?oi return for the patriotism which they show in endeavoring to produce the things which the government says are necessary to win the war. to wit, hread, clothes, explosives, meat and fats. I desire to call attention to the fact that the cotton producer in the |>ast year has produced in rcllncd oil, between August 1, 11H7, and April 30, litis, l,007,8s7,195 pounds?and this is pure fat. They have produced cottonseed meal, directly useful in fattening cattle. 1.U1 -.605 tons. The statement that cotton maufacturers arc making 300 i>er cent protlt is easily believable, but their stocks are largely held in New York and New England, and the people who hold them are paying Income taxes and the corporations are "paying income and excess profit taxes. The spindles that are located in the south number 11,323.000, and in the balance of the United States the spindles number 19,123,000, and they are running almost to full capacity, and, I am informed, tire having a protitabli business; but is there any reason for laying a different tax on them from the tax laid on other |?onple who are making money? That they an- mak inn money iit me expense 01 me eoiton farmer whose product has been depreciated in value recently by manipulations on the New York market, which made cotton for future delivery sell for seven cents less per iwund than the actual cotton sells for, 16 shown by a comparison of prices. When war was declared in 1911. , cotton was bringing 13J cents. It is now bringing 30 cents.

These prices show that the staten?i lit Is probably correct that they arc making handsome profits and are endeavoring to increase them by the reduction In the price of cotton. The embargo on the shipment of cotton on the railroads has been followed by the calling of all loans on cotton by the banks which necessitates the selling of the cotton at a time when it is Impossible to move It to the mills, and the purchaser is uncertain when he can resell It or at what price. The mills can afford to buy and retain it in the warehouse where located until they need it. and comparative figures show that they have Iwn waiting for this condition to arise. On April 30. 1917. there were stored In the factory warehouses 2,033.35fi bales; at the same date In 1918 there were 1,807,055 bales, there l>eing in 1917, 226.301 bales in excess of that held by the mills In 1917. On the other hand, there arc stored in the warehouses, held by the purchasers, at the same date in 191S, 2,843.553 bales of cotton, while there were only 2.503.411 bales so stored in 1917. The mills, therefore, have 226,000 bales less and the owners have 340,000 bales more in storage: and to depress the nrl^ nnH nlan fnrro thl? fvittnn on thi' market will be vastly to the advantage of the spinner, and this probably is one of the reasons for the call of loans on the cotton. There is certainly no reason for alarm as to the value of the cotton, because the production for the year 1916 for the entire world was 18,365.000 bales, and the consumption of cotton for the same year was 20,180,000 hales. The excess of consumption over production was 1,815.000 hales. Now. the production for the year 1917 was 17,285,000 bales, and conceding that the consumption will decrease according to the ratio of decrease up to the present, the consumption will be 20.045.000 bales, leaving a deficit of t 2,710.000 bales, which is added to the Jeflcit carried over from the year I!* 11. Hence cotton is becoming more valuable and the only reason for a deKite to call the loans that are made un it must be a desire to force a sufficient amount on the market to depress the price, which can only add to the 300 per cent profit already being made by the manufacturers. I am not. however, admitting thai they are making that large profit, noi run I admitting that they should Is spccialy taxed more than to have all xcess profits very heavily taxed: but the man who is making the cotton b ortainly not sharing in the tremendous benefits, and then-fore should not be discriminated against by being specially taxed and by having hb loans called and his cotton forced or the market at a time when everything is tending to depress the price of hb product, nor should he lie specially taxed because ' it will be especially pleasing to Wall street" to tax it. Vr.1t- in rr?ox>i>t tn what it is COKt ing to market it, the farmer who Li making the cotton and who is making the wheat, who is to be specially taxed. according to the gentleman in New York, according to their statements, is confronted with double expense. The fertilizer that he has to buy is costing him practically 100 per cent more and the labor which he has to employ, if he can obtain it. Is also enormously increased in cost, and if the propaganda is to be put out now that they be specially taxed. I submit It is one which is not taking into account the patriotism that has been shown by the farmers Of the country who, tit the request of this great government. have increased the food production enormously in the last year and who arc this year straining every resource to increase it in the face ol ii price-fixing programme which, as I hey say, has cut the profit that Is in it to a very low figure, one which Is certainly not profitable, and in saying that I submit that the proposition tc lax the western farmer and the southi rn farmer especially on their products Is one which. I hope. will not commend itself to the committee ori ways and means. (Applause.) CANNED LIGHTNING New War Weapon Said to Be Invention of Italian. Dazzling swords of tire more deadly than the highest explosive followed by annihilating explosions that leap intc the skies, will he the forerunners ol the "eanned" lightning, science's newest weapon of war, that, it la claimed w ill blast out Germany's Inst hope and chance of victory and world supremacy. An Italian scientist Is credited wit! having discovered a means of concen trnting and reflecting electric rays ir such a manner as to produce the resuits above described. It is reported that this inventor has proved to rep resentatives of his Government that eh octrie current could ho conccntratct' and directed in rays eud made to ar< at varying distances from the point 01 control. He is add to have offersd t< demonstrate his idea in whatever way the oliicials indicated, hut that he dan not make experiments in the city 01 Rome l)ccanse of the danger attending the use of this extraordinary yoww. _ _ P. H. Randall, in describing in th( Illustrated World the results of thes< tests, says that cutsidc the city ths inventor was told first to burn througli a three-inch hardwood plank. "In ar instant," says Mr. Randall, "this plank was seared and broken, ns if it had been struck by lightning. "Next he was ordered to explode twe bombs, one hidden somewhere on the bank of the Tiber, the other in the bed of the stream. Within ten minutes the bomb concealed along the bank was exploded. It required much longer to locate and explode the one sunk in the river, but this too, was Anally accomplished. "The entire outAt used by this Italian inventor is said to have been placed on a single small barge." Mr. Randall says that an approximate Idea of power of ureing electricity may l>e obtained by watching an electric furnace at work. It will cut the hardest steel as if it wore putty. To Hash such a llame through an airplane, submarine, battleship or a trench, he says, would leave a wreck in place of a fighting machine. This writer also points out other uses for controlled lightning. Mine sweepers equipped with this device could fire mines thousands of yards distant and eliminate them as defensive weapons. Those hidden terrors could he exploded over extensive Aelds ii-ithmit in nnv instincp. inturv beinC ilono to oven the smallest sweeper. On land the arc my would form n nost successful barrage, and could wipe out the defenders of trenches ivlth unerring certainty. Thrown from large tractor-type airplanes or from t)ig fighting air-cruisers, the enemy's position would be made untenable. "In the face of thes^irelng rays," K?ys Mr. Randall, "transportation o 1 rood, of ammunition and other supplies above ground would be made Impossible. The weaker arcs thrown from battleplanes would be sufficient o fire an ammunition train, while the strongest ones, if reflected from the big land batteries, would explode the most carefully protected magazines." In the following description Mr. Randall paints a vivid picture of what would happen with this machine in action: "In a few moments every enemy lirplane or any fleet of them?no matter what their numbers?would fall to earth. a crumpled wreck! At the touch of a button, a lance-like bolt ot plectrlcty would suddenly shoot forward with inconceivable speed, accompanied by a tremendous clap of thunder. And what a moment before tad ocen a soaring airplane would be a [laming mass, and. the next instant, a 'cw charred parts dropping to earth like a burnedout rocket "In holes or craters in 'No Man's Land' a scout could lurk with his leadly weapons, connected by wires vith the generators and the concentrators behind his lines. When the enemy 'harged, he could sweep the whole ines as they passed him and onnihiate each successive wave of infantry." Mr. Randall says that few electrical >ngineere in this country care to deln re arbitrarily whether or not til or any part of this can be acorn pllshed, hut in this connection he luotes as follows the chief engineer of he largest electrical concern in the vorld: "I can't say that I know this has >een done or will be done?but I don't lare suggest that it cannot be done. Ve can reflect light and heat and ays of other kinds?why cannot this, oo. be accomplished? "This much we alt know?that once his problem is solved there will be no more war. If the allies were possessed of equipment that would perini the arcing at a distance of powerfu electric currents the war would be wot in thirty days, and our troops couh march unchallenged Into Berlin. "This much we know, too. tVa i has always been a contest of wits ant : mechanical genius. Armor was invent ed to meet the attacks of sword ant : spear, and it was applied to battleship - and land vehicles to stop shot ant shell; the gas mask was devised tt I combat the horrors of chlorine; sount detectors and nets to protect ship < from submarines, and so on down th years of military history, each ne? Mcanon has brought forth another 1' ' neutralize the deadly effect to th i first. Combined German ingenult: i has put into the field the most fiend 'Uish machines of destruction the worh ' has ever known, and they are toda; directed against our men now at th' front. "Why is It not possible, then, to pro duce a weapon more terrible than an; 1 so far created?a weapon so powerfu in its destructive force that it wouh annihilate whole armies and fleets 01 the sea and in the air, and sever thi endless chain of life-taking idea which are constantly being brough 1 forward?"

THE FIR8T "DARK HORSE" 1 How tho Familiar Term Cam* I 1 American Politics, i The "dark horse" in politics is 1 successor of a genuine dark horse I won a race in which he was suppc r to have no chance for victory. 1 early days in Tennessee, there was - old man named Sam Flynn, a \ 1 good judge of horseflesh, who usu s owned an animal that could show a i ofspeed. At one time Mr. Flynn p 0 eased a big black horse named Du 1 Pete, a thoroughbred and very fast s was Flynn's practice to go V a ne e borhood where he was not known, v Dusky Pete into town as if he wert a ordinary nfount and enter him in e of the races thatwere the daily sp > of the frontier communities.
