PASSES AT LAST House Adopts Lever's Cotton Measure. Will Help Farmers, Washington; Dec. 21.-The Lever cotton warehouse bill, before the house for months, was passed today, 18 to 97. The measure provides for federal licensing of cotton and grain warehouses and is a substitute for a senate bill restricted to cotton ware houses. Tle bill now goes to conrer once. Tihe bill, approved by the adnl a i1 tration, was the subject of briof de bate, its sponsors contending that it would greatly enhance confidence jj6 agricultural products. Its opponents claimed it was unconstitutional. "TTho bill," said Representative Lever, "will result in tho establish.. ment of 'uniform -warohouses and uni forin warehouse receipts for agricul tural products throughout the coun try. It will give a certainty and value to warehouse receipts which will make liIuid Mie evidence of owner ship.of agricultural products. It will enhance tile value of warehouse re ceipts as collateral on which loans may be sought by producers. It will give greater negotiability to agricul tural receipts for agricultural pro ducts. "Tho measure will bring together moro closely agricultural products and banking ca'pital.' It will result in larger storage facilities for agri cultural products 'and- will serve as an incentive to farmers to .store their products and thereby save millions of dollars of weather-loss each year. It will furnish to the.-farnier for the first time in this country the machindry through which he not only may know te class or grade of his produc.ts, -but its commer~cial Value. It will' put.;him in a posItion to marlket his crops when the demand is strongest ' and the price highest. It Is a - farmers' bill and a most far-reaching forward step in our cumbersome system - of marketing." The bill is not compulsory in any way. Main provisions affecting cotton proposed by the bill are: it provides for classification of cot ton and licensing of cotton ware houses. It bonds -owners and operators of warehouses and gives the right of recovery upon the bond to the owler of cotton stored. It licens-es graders or classiflers of cotton. it provides that licensed warehouscs shall Issue reveipts describing the bales stored, the receipts to be as signlable Mhen desired. It plrovides for maintenance of ac curate records of cotton stored, the receipts issued, the right of tile secre tary of agriculture to examine ree ortls and reqIlres reports from oOpera tors to the secretary. it nlhllorizes tile secretary to deter mine whether cotton store(d in ware houses actutal ly Is of t he grade or class certi fled in tihe recedit -anad to pitblish Ils findings.
