The five-acre cotton staple^ improve

year, sponsored by the Cotton Manu
facturers’ association of South Caro
lina to encourage cotton staple im
provement work through the Clemson
extension service. The Cotton Manu
facturers’ association has afifain an
nounced that $2,p00.’90 will be given
for prizes in the demonstration this
year.
Of course a farmer is anxious to.
win a cash prize, but the prime pur
pose ^4-the demonijtration is to make
available improved cotton seed in
the county and state. So many farm
ers are not financially able to buy
improved seed from plan breeders, but

At the other end of the Avenue,
however, the boys on Ckpitol Hill just
don’t wanL,tp_vote any kind of new
taxes in an election year. That is
the reason for the renewal of loud in
flationary talk. ' A year ago it would
have been quite possible, given similax
circumstances, for a greenback mea
sure, to'have got through both Houses
of CongrCs.s even over Presidential
veto.
The prospect of inflation has been
so widely' <iiscu.ssed, .since then, and
the general pubn$__rea.c.tion against
it has become so evident, that it is
not now likely that anything of the
kind will be attempted.
Hurling, criticism at Japanese pol
icy in a speech on the senate floor,
the prominent administration, man
spoke of treaties openly and ruth
lessly violated. He referred to what
he called Japanese “threats, pro
paganda, and arrofirance.”
“China is still an independent, sov-
exeigm government at peace with, the
world and desirous of trading with
us, And there is nothing in the cir-
cumsta^es that can legally, or long
physically interfere with such trade.”
Because of his high position at the
head of Jhe senate committee deal
ing with international affaix«„.v-hi8
speech was regarded as certain to at
tract world-wide attention.
He called upon' Congress to take
cognizance of the island empire's
policy toward China xirid “its inteirded
effect upon the United States.”

heritance, taxes, hut that Congress
will adopt them is doubtful. Much
more talk i.s heard of a general/manu
facturer’s sales tax, and that is en
tirely possible.
One of the best plans being serM
ously discussed is'for a^law to legal
ize lotteries and put a heavy tax- on
them. That appeals to a good many
of the city members, but the rural
districts are supposed to be against it.
On the other hand, many members
from—fhe^ West-and-Stmt h
creasing the Ii<|Uor taxes,
the city repre.sentatives are opposed.
Somewhere along the line, how
ever, a billion dollars more than has
been provided for must be found, and
the Administration definitely does
not want to have to do any mofe im
portant borrowing.
Federal Retterve Board
The personnel of the new Federal
Reserve Board is generally regarded
■as being .satisfactory even to such
critics as Senator Glass, who has bur
ied the hatchet fn his feud with Chair
man Eccles.
Mr. Eccles’ influence at the White
House is steadrily increasing. The
President relies upon him in finan
cial matters almost as much as he
does upon Secretary Morgenthau, and
both Mr. Ecclc>s and Mr. Morjrenthau
are detemtined that there shall be no
inflationary movement.s so far as the
Treasury and the Federal Reserve
System can control the monetary
situation.
Politically, the ..current discussion
is about the calm, analytical and lib
eral tone of the speech made by Gov
ernor Ijandon, of Kansas, which con
trasts sharply with some of -the more
abusive and l^lligerent utterances
on both sides x)f the political fence.

to which pres.s, the supreme court today in
validated a Louisiana newspaper tax
imposed during the late Huey P.
Long’s regime.
A strongly-worded opinion read by
Justice Sutherland held the levy—im
posed onTy on large publications—-was
a “deliberate and calculated device”
to restrict the “circulation of infor
mation.”
Citing the nation’s constitutional
guarantee of A free press, the court
added that the Louisiana tax was
suspicious” in form, and levied with
the “plain purpose qf penalizing pub
lishers.”
The tax law — passed in 1934 at
Long’s request — required publishers,
both newspaper and magazine, with a
circulation of 20,000 or more weekly
to pay the state 2 per cent of gross
receipts from their advertising.
