The Cotton Farmer and
The Processing Tax”
“Cotton is unique among the ma
jor agricultural commodities in its
vulnerability to competition from
powerful and aggressive substi
tutes,” declared Dr- Claudius T.
Murchison, President of the Cot
I ton-Textile Institute, in an address
before the Cotton Consumption
council in New Orleans on Tues
day, December 12th. Dr. Murchison
pointed out that it is vital for the
j j cotton farmer to realize his this think- fact
and take ino account in
ing abom the f u t ur e of the cotton
fiber ^ ^ ,-eiauonship of the
gr0 , ver of cotton to the cotton tex
tlle industry. The present world
production of rayon is equivalent,
allowing for rayon's greater cover
age, to about 6 million bales of
cotton. Ten years ago the equival
ent was 1 million bales. The dis
j quieting feature lies in the rapidity
of growth which synthetic fibers
exhibit and in the strength of the
forces which are pressing them for
ward.
“Important inroads upon cotton ”
said Er. Murchison, “Shave aiso
been made by paper and this inva
sion is still rapidly proceeding. All
of us are witnesses to the wide use
of paper towels, napkins anl table
covers, but paper as a competitor
of cotton has probably had its great
est success in the bag trade. Nor
mally nearly five hundred million
yards of cotton cloth which is
equivalent to 6% of all cotton con
sumed have gone into the manufac
ture of cotton bags. Now the ten
dency is toward a rapidly increas
ing use of paper bags for such im
portant Items as sugar, salt, flour
and cement in addition to many
others- In numerous stores con
sumers are now charged an extra
price of as much as two cents for
five pounds of sugar bought in a
cotton pocket rather than in a pa
per bag."
“Furthermore,” said Dr. Murchi
son, “In addition to this new com
petition from paper as a material
for containers, cotton also protects
itself with increasing difficulty from
such substitutes as pasteboard car
tons, wood crates and tm cans, all
of -which competition is primarily
on a price basis.’’
Speaking of the relationship of
cotton manufacture to cotton grow
ing, Dr. Murchison said “that cot
ton manufacturers as a group are
| sympathetic with the general ob
jectives of the agricultural program
as it relates to cotton. They want
the farmers to prosper because the
farm population is an important
consumer of cotton goods Cotton
manufacturers know from their own
experience the deadly effects of un
weildly surpluses and chronic over
production. Hence, they regarded
with favor the acreage ‘ reduction
program and the establishment of
marketing quotas. They likewi: f
recognized the necessity of com
pensation or benefit payment to
farmers. They opposed the process
ing tax as a means of financing
the payments In the honest belief
that taxation for the support of so
important a program should have
a broader base. They felt that the
concentration of this heavy tax bur
den upon cotton alone would tend
weaken the competitive position
cotton already imperiled on
many fronts and eventually
about the destruction of the very
objective that was bemg sought"
“We shall continue as forcefully
as possible." declared Dr. Murchi
son, ‘to resist a processing tax on
cotton or any equivalent to a pro- in
cessing tax not only in our own
terest. put in the interest of cot
ton as an agricuitural commodity
and as an article of commerce We
believe that cotton cannot thrive or
expand or grow great carrying upon
its shoulder the dead weight of this
‘old man of the sea
