ew MORE COM THAN 1924 CROP - • * p*. • REPORT BHOWB DROP IN ESTI> MATED CROP SHOCE * / OCTOBER IS. Raleigh. " Ths 856,000 bale* of cotton glnn«4 la the State to November 1 this year exceed* the entire amount of cottoa finned last year by 11,000 bales, ac cording to a report from the United States and North Carolina Depart ment! of Agriculture. Farmers re ports on November 1, however, indi cate a decrease of 40,000 bales fro ft* the esttimate made October 18. The estimated ct|>p for thtfs y«*r now stands at $1,080,000, 500 gross weight bales. The estimate October 1 wai for 1,150,000 such bales. "Conditions responsible for the re duction in the prospect for the crop,"- the bulletin states, "were .principally weather influences consisting of earljr frosts and recent heavy rains. Heavy frosts occurring during the latter half of October killed a majority of the cotton plants, leaving very few to ma ture any late opening bolls. Heavy rains have done some damage to tha quality of the open cotton stlil un picked by either beating It out on the ground or causing k to stain on tha plant. The rains have hindered tha picking to a great extent also, and a Urge quantity of open cotton is ob served in the fields at this time. It la quite possible that 8 per cent of tha crop has been exposed to damaging weather and from 2 to 4 per cent of this ma* show weather damage." Governor Names Members.

TAX REDUDTION LIMIT REACHED ( DOOR CLOSED AGAINBT FURTHER PROPOSALS FOR RELIEF, SAYS GREEN. pt k I' ■ Washington.—"The limit in tax re duction for next year has been reach ed by the house ways and, means com mittee In revisions already approved for the new revenue bill, Chairman Green declared in announcing that tha door was closed against further pro posals for tax relief. The $304,000,000 cut in revenue next yeaf estimated to result from revisions ordered by the committee in tax rates, he said, is all the treasury can stand. The chairman's statement, is believ ed not only to mean there will be no further alterations in the tax rate schedules by the committee but that the threatened fight in the house for greater reductions in the automobile tax than have been voted by the com mittee wjll be opposed vigorously. Re peal of the'automobile passenger car levy would cut another $50,000,000 from the annual revenue. v Chairman Green said he expected the committee to complete the drafting of the tax reduction bill this week, thus assuring early consideration by the house soon after Congress con venes December 7. As agreed upon by the committee, the bill Will provide for widespread reductions in all income tax rates, in creased personal exemptions, repeal of many of the excise and special levies, repeal of the gift tax and pub licity of income tax returns, and modi fication of the Inheritance tax. Chairman Green In his statement, said he believed the treasury'! esti mate of the probable surplus for the next fiscal year, placed at $290,000,- 000 by Secretary Mellon, was too "conservative." "As a consequence," he said. "I have been asked why the reduction to be effected by the bill Is not made larger. There are many fWho think that is should be carried at least up to $250,- 000.000 and some that would advance it to $400,000,000 or even $600,000,000. although in the latter case, my under standing is, it Is Intended to apply the payments received from European countries to ordinary expenses instead of using them to reduce the national debt.

Washington.—A report containing broad recommendations for the solu tion of major problems to eve»y branch of radio endearor was adoptud at the concluding session of the fourth na tional radio conference. Containing recommendations for leg islation covering'radio regulations, for | sharply reducing the present number of broadcasting stations to relieve con gestion and for the elimination of ln | terferring elements In radio reception, i the report was declared by Secretary Hoover, chairman of the conference, to be the most far-reaching and con structive yet made. He indicated that the proposals for solution of various prpblems would become in a general way the tempor ary policy of his department in Its regulation of radio communication but expressed doubt as to the wisdom of placing such broad powers as were outlined In the hands of any one gov ernmental office. One of the most Important actions of the conference, in Secretary Hoov er's opinion, was its declaration that service to the radio listener should be the prime consideration in all efforts of the industry and In its regulation. Under the resolutions adopted, no major alterations will be made in pres ent wave lengths assignments, and minor changes will be confined almost entirely to the field outside of broad casting. The legislative recommendations provided that administration of all ra dio legislation be vested in the secre tary of commerce, with authority to appoint such advisory boards and com mittees as be might deem necessary; that the doctrlpe of free speech be held inviolate; that monopoly in the Industry be prohibited, and that broad casting licenses be granted only to those who, in the opinion of the secre tary, would render beneficial service to the public or contribute- to the de velopment of the art. The President, under the program, would be given authority to comman deer or discontinue all broadcasting stations in time of national emergency. To Connect Highway System.

Other new lines are to extend from Fort Ogden to Fort Myers, 36 miles; from Fort Myers to Labelle, 33 miles; from Fort Myers to Estero River, 14 miles, with a 11 mile branch to Punta Rassia, and from Estro to Naples, 19 miles. > Subsidiary companies will under take the construction, with the aid of a $26,000,000 bond issue which the pa rent system will guarantee. "Development in Florida has been unprecedented and Increased railway service is Important as a part of this development," the commission's ma jority found. "No one can see very far into the future, and it Is impos sible to appraise at all accurately the future net earnings of the Seaboard and of the other railroads In that state. "Certain risks remain Inherent in all railway enterprises. Investors la the Seaboard may at some time suffer losses on account of these risks. On the other hand, development may be substantial and permanent. However whatever the future may bring to In vestors, it is reasonably certain the facilities to be provided until the ap plication herein granted will perman ently serve the people of Florida."
