To Raise Cotton Price
Atlanta, July 7. —A national tax
that would have the effect of imme
diately raising the selling price of
all agricultural products, as a means
of restoring prosperity, was proposed
Saturday by William G. Hastings,
who calls upon Democratic leaders to
incorporate the proposal ia their pro
gram.
“If the cotton grower requires 15
cents per pound to make a profit,’’
Mr Hastings argues, “let Congress
place a tax of 15 cents per pound on
all cotton purchased for less than 15
cents, the tax to be paid by the pur
chaser. Cotton immediately would
rise to 15 cents per pound so the pur
chaser could escape the terrific tax.
That is the main idea of his plan.
The reader might find it interesting to
trace the application farther.
