JULY 29,1914. ‘ ■ STOP GAMBLING * COTTON FUTURES No Tax to bo Imposed on What is Considered Legitimate Contracts. 0 l t 0 I The house cf repreentatlvos has substituted the Lover bill for re- guletloB of cotton exrhantee through prohibitive taxes lot 4be senate Treasure proposing Regula tion by means of prohibiting the use of the mails and the telegraph for so-called gambling transactions. The house put the bill through under suspension of the rules bp a vote of S4 to 21, and sent it. bach to the senate. If the senate falls to agree to the subsUtute, the differ ences will be taken up in conferei Senator Smith, author of the sew bill, is now campaigning in South Carolina, and consideration of the substitute may be delayed until his return, though Senator Smith, of Georgia, or some other Southern senator may call It up in the mean- time.- Both the eesbte and house meas ures aim to regulate alleged evil practice* on the cotton exchangee, which the cotton producers contend keep down the price of cotton. The senate bill through the postofflee de partment and the Interstate com merce commission’s Jurisdiction over the telegraph would prohibit the transmission of quotations and lists of sales of cotton that did not comply with the requirements as td standardization prescribed in the bill. Both bills would regulate, though they would not prohibit, transactions in futures. Itclie* on Taxing Power. The house bill relies on the gov ernment taxing power, instead of inhibitions on the mall and the tele graph. proposing a muo f |5 a bale on contracts that do not comply with the requirements. No tax would be imponed on what are regarded as legitimate contracts. The measure woulu require that contracts must be in writing; must specify the quality of cotton involv ed in each transaction,and gives names and addresses of buyers snd sellers, with the basis gftde of the cotton involved. Other sections would provide that the cotton must be of or within the grades specifical ly established by the secretary of agriculture, and that In case other than the basis grade is delivered, the differences above or below the contract price must be the actual commercial differences and not the differences arbitrarily fixed by the ,cotton exchanges, the commercial differences to be determined by the secretary of agriculture by compari son of prices of five spot cotton mar kets I'lMlerw immI foi* Measure. A lively debate preceded the vote Democratic Leader Underwood, liixoring the moarure. pointed out that the whole proposition rested on the proposal that congress should either suppress or regulate the cot ton exchanges of the country'. "Whatever particular power you Jise to enforce a law.” he said, "is n secondary proposition, but there Is no better power in the government than the power to ,ax. which is in tills hill.
