"I do not think the legislature can afford lo license any bualness that Is a gamble. Whether It la a big bucket or a little bucket the reault le the same. Anything that Is morally wrong cannot be politically right. "If business Interests are cut up by thla law business will find other chan nels In right Itself. "I buy pig Iron, but there la no ex change nr bucket shop where I do nr van deal. One year 1 sold stoves when Iron was nt 37, and II went to |1(, but 1 was protected by a clause In my contract.

I am neither for or against It. 1 am us much opposed to speculation as any member on thle committee. It hurts our business. . . "I must say In Justice, however, that colon exchanges do serve certain legitimate transactions. We have our agents selling cotton now for future delivery. If they eell nt certain prices for deliver!' M la wired Into us. "I nl once wire to 'cover on this sale. 1 buv a contract lo cover Iht* sale, and If I lose on one I make on the other.

Harvle Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, began by staling that the association had been urging legislation to prevent Cot ion speculation. "Mr. Boykin's hill prevents specula tbih In any commodity; Mr. Anacreon’ simply seeks to stop bucket shops. "There Is a moral question Involved, When the state reaches the condition to consider from a cold-blooded bust ness way. It Is time to amend the con stllutlon. "In debating the question on the floor Mr. Anderson made certain charges against Ihe Southern Cotton Assocla tlon. He admits that It wax done defeat the Boykin bill. That ahould be argument enough to puss it. "I never saw a man work as hard to worm out of another something to bolster up a had cause as Mr. Ander- son did In questioning Mr. Akera. "The business of dealing In cotton futures Is'growing enormously In this country, particularly among farmers. They nr* being Induced lo sell their spots and buy futures and put up the margins. Nine-tenths of the people who deal with these places lose. "I ask you In my official capacity lo pass this bill and let Georgia go before the country leading In thla great moral question. If you do It, 1 give you my word that within two years nearly every Southern state will have followed. The contention we make is that breaking up Iheee concerns will not seriously Interfere with business In Georgia" Savannah Man’* Tsstlmony, Murray Stewart, an exporter from Savannah, aald that If the source of Information furnished by the wire house wns taken away, It would aerl ously Interfere with cotton dealers. "You don't mean to say that these wlro houses are here simply to furnish Information?" asked Heab Wright. "No, they nre here for business.' "There would bo no profit to the houses without speculation?" "Not altogether. They do a certain legitimate business.” He said he did not agree altogether with Mr. Akers that these houses de pended absolutely on speculation. Mr. Anderson asked him if wire houses could not survive In a place where ft million and a miarter bales wore handled, aa In Savannah, by le gitimate business. Tho reply was In the affirmative. He said he thought the farmer would get leas for hla cotton by doing away with futures. “8#sma a Good Buslnsst." R. A.

Hubbard Hrou., Edmond A Charles Randolph and Glbert A flay. •The lioykln bill la too radical. -Le* gltlinatn line* of business ahould not be Interfered with. Senator Wheatley’s substitute read hero goes further than either of the other two, and draws a very dear dlntlm-tlon between loglti- mate exchanges and bucket shop*. •'Thin bill will put the fanner and the turpentine dealer back fifteen years and place both ut u fearful disadvan tage." His argument wns strong and re ceived the closest attention. "8ubstituts No Good." Sea burn Wright closed the argument by advocating the Boykin bill. He said he came over to do so at the request of the author. ‘‘The bill Introduced here by friend MWheatley) has been hawked about every Icglidature In the country. It stops nothing. It stops little gam bling and legltlmntlxe* big gambling." He said that ihe Boykin bill wns modeled after the North Carolina law, and that It had stopped gambling there and hurt no mill*. A letter from Governor Glenn to Mr. Boykin said that It had stopped specu lation and had not hurt legitimate cot ton business. The people favored the bill. "it Is all marginal gambling. These men are the only ones here fighting this hill to stop gambling. No farmers nre here, no cotton mill men*Ttre here." He read resolutions Indorsing the Boykin bill. He nhw read quotation* from one of Tom Lawson's "Frenzied Finance" articles. Once when Mr. An derson wished to nak him a question Mr. Wright declined to be Interrupted. How Has 8outh Stood It? "How In the name of heavens the South has stood the drain of the In surance companies, the drain of pen sions and the drain of this marginal gambling Is beyond human under standing. Only her marvelous resources account for It. "Until I Investigated I thought the bucket shops were devils, and the ex changes saints. But they are all alike.
