fribble Talks
on Cotton.
Int be house of representa
t . ves last week, Congressman
fribble said, in pait.
''Three months ago cotton in
tbe South was bringing 14 cents
nnnI1( l There was not a man in
the South or anywhere else in
J he r D ited states expecting this
European war. It had cost the
people of the South, the men
h 0 bad produced that cotton,
DOt ie>s than 10 cents a pound to
produce it. Today there is ab
'olutely no sale whatever for
cotton anywhere in the United
States. There is no price for it.
An d if this Congress is going to
pass legislation seeking to re
lieve the depressed condition of
tbe price on cotton, the time is
at hand: the crisis is on us; and
we should take action on this
proposed legislation, and do it at
ouce."
‘This is no time to wait on
committees. So far as I know
the committee has not even con
sidered this bill. It was
considered several days ago by
the Senate, and we can consider
it right here on the floor of this
House. The motion I make will
leave the hill open to free discus
sion, and gentlemen will have
full opportunity to amend it. It
gentlemen think there is little
merit in the bill, I know of no
better way to get a good bill than
to get one before the House and
give the membership an oppor
tunity to discuss this question
and perfect the bill in the inter
est of the cotton farmers. I fail
to see the wisdom of standing

in the door and keeping the bill
on the outside for an indefinite
time. I will say to day what I
said last night in a cotton confer
ence, and that this, Mr. Chair
man: It is time to let the cotton
growing states know what Con
gress is going to do It is a
great injustice to the farmer and
the people of the Southern States
to hold them in suspense. If
Congress cannot pass special
legislation on this question, it is
time to let our suffering people
know the facts. lain pursuing
the same course, in asking to
consider this bill by unanimous
consent, that was adopted when
emergency bills were passed ap
propriating money for the relief
of American citizens in Mexico
and Europe. Mr. Chairman, the
South con fronts a real emergen
cy. It is an emergency that ap
peals to me and it appeals to you
for help. Are we powerless to
give national assistance? If the
majority of the Members of this
House think no special legisla
tion should be enacted, then, in
the name of justice, let the peo
ple have this information. I
have but one desire in this mat
ter, and that is to help the suf
fering that confronts us in the
South. There are many kinds
of bills and all kinds of theories.
lam tor anything that will help
relieve the situation, and I make
this motion for the purpose of
bringing about action on the cot
ton question and to hasten the
passage of this bill. I have
pending a bill before the Curren
cy Committee, and I will have an
opportunity of getting that bill
before this House by amendment
it this Senate bill is consideied,
and others will have the same
privilege of amendment. I desire
Danielsville, Georgia, Thursday, September 24 1914
to reduce the rate of tax on cir
culating notes provided for this
emergency to 1 per cent, and al
so to require the banks loaDiug
same not to charge over 4 per
cent. The section as follows:
Sec. 4. That it shall be the
duty of the Secretary and Treas
ury, under such rules and regu
lations as he may deem ne
cessary, to provide that the
notes to be issued by the banks
shall be loaned by said banks as
far as practical to the producers
of cotton and agricultural pro
ducts at a rate of interest not to
exceed 4 percent per annum, find
preference shall he given those
desiring to hold agricultural pro
ducts tor bettter prices during
the depression of prices caused
by the European war.
You will note that all through
this speech, Mr. Tribble puts
particular stress on the point
that if Congress is to do nothing
for the relief of the farmer, that
it should say so. and “quit heat
ing about the bush.” Of course,
he doesn’t use this language, but
that’s the point. We have never
believed that the farmers would
gel any direct aid or indirect aid,
to amount to anything, from the
National government. They
can’t afford to set a precedent
in the cotton situation that would
never end. Let any other crop
or any other line of industry fall
short, and the National govern
ment would have to tide it over,
should they relieve the cotton
situation. The government can’t
draw the line, and unless its go
ing on record to assist everything
when it falls behind, as she does
cotton, then there’s nothing do
ing, except through the banks in
the usual way. The cotton mat
