PRICE-EVERETTE
WAREHOUSE BILL
Make* Warehoused Cotton Receipt*
Qllt Edge Security.—Provide* Re
volving Fund for Building New
Warehouse*.
The Warehouse Bill Just enacted
| I* one of the most construct!** pieces
: of legislation passed at the present
! nes-sion The bill as passod Is e*«en-
I tlally the same as that introduced
| early in the session by Senator W. B
Cooper, except that It taxes all cotton
j ginnetj for the next two years twenty
five cents per bale to provide, a jruar
| antee and revolving building fund.
; TTnder the terms of th* Act the Board
of Agriculture can loan 60% of th®
j needed money for constructing ware
houses where there are no facilities.
I the benefits' expected from
the bill are the following:
Ist. It will immediately Improve
j storage facilities for North Carolina
cotton and thereby insure more gradu
i ated marketing of the ntaple--a re
| form for which the present crisis
j shows the Imperative need This will
j befieflt every man who grows cotton
no matter whether h$ stores a pound
'or not As providing the facilities for
i othrs who do store, will cause the
market to be steadied and advanced
i for every man who sells without stor
) lug
2nd The receipts of every ware
! house will he good at any bank any
i wlmiM enable us to borrow
j wherever money is cheapest.
The bill makes provision for the su
perintendent to bur- w for others in
New York or elsewhere.
Sr«l II ii bel.i«v«d thßt It wlil
ruduce the roM. of storage
IhruMßh a reduction In Uwiuranaa
chaws and rales. The insurance
ra,t° on notion stjired In State Ware
"honln South Carolina In only about
one-third the present rate tn thl*
irtate j
lUL__A.M cotton stored In the ware
honses in to be graded and stapled by
Plate or Federal experts and the su
perintciident IK to art a>
broker for those bavins cotton stored
when so reqw'Ktnd" It Is expected
tliat_x_m:ord of the grada and
of every bale stored will be kept at a
central offiee and that mills and larpe
exporters will endeavor to locate cot
"ton t'fiat they desire and make pur
'chnses through the superintendent.
Taken all together tiuvFe appears to
he preat possibilities for Che benefit of
cotton Rrowers in the bill and the
Cotton Association at lialeigh bopen
to see them made available at an
early date.

Whereaß, the neodi of the world
today call for more cotton than wa»
produced last year and now unused,
and »
Wherea*. the war-stricken countries
of Kurope are today suffering as much
for want of clothing as for want of
food, and
Whereas, the present low price of
cotton, which Is below the cost of
production, Is due primarily to eco
nomic restrictions on Its shipment to
the countries most In heed of It, and
Whereas, the present price of fer
tiliser has been arbitrarily raised from
$6.00 to $104)0 per ton above the high
war prices of last year, and
Whereas, the present price of manu
factured cotton to the consumer Is
abnormally high con) pa red to the
present low price of raw cotton,
therefore, •
Replyed first: That the power of
the Government of the United States
should at once be exerted-to remove
the embargo and ull other economic
restrictions on the free shipment of
raw cotton and all other farm pro
ducts to all the markets of the wofd.
and
Resolved, second: That our gov

to hold their present crop of cotton
■until the embargo and other economic
restrictions are removed, said com
mittee shall arrange with ali banks us
far as possible to loan money on easy

o furm Farm I,o;n Association* and
'he rate of Interest on money loaned,

that we appeal to the Legislature ol
