The South Again
Made the Goat
Glenn Asbell
When the Senators and Con
gressmen and other leading men
of the Cotton Section urged the
cotton farmers to sign contracts
with the government, they felt
assured that a loan of 12c on the
pound would be extended
through 1935. The people sign
ed, having faith in the adminis
tration, and feeling assured of
this price. The word has been
passed along from apparently
authoritative sources, so natural
ly it came as a shock to the en
tire South when it was announc
ed that only 9c would be lent on
. the pound, 25% less than last
year.
This action of the administra
tion is absolutely inconsistent
with its former policies—But
does not inconsistency always
exist when money, large ship
ping interests and crooks de
mand such?
“Chessie” Davis has announc
ed some kind of a plan by which
the farmers who signed con
tracts will receive an additional
payment which when received
(in a year or so, maybe) will
amount in all to a total of 12c a
pound. But remember the ben
efits go only to those who signed
contracts. Is there any justice
in such a plan?
Now they who were ineligible
or refused to sign contracts must
pay a tax amounting to about 5c
a pound on their cotton; this
leaves them the measly profit of
4c a pound—s2o.oo a bale. Such
discrimination and unfairness
will naturally make any farmer’s
blood boil. •
And why such a silly plan? Is
this not an attempt to force all
farmers to sign contracts? Is it
not for the purpose of creating
new jobs and strengthening a
political machine? What, I ask
you. is the motive of this fallacy
of the brain?
While the whole South is in
dignant over the sudden decision
“Chessie’’ Davis has the audaci
ty to make the following state
ment: “General reactions indi
cate the cotton farmers like the
plan.” To get the public senti
ment, Mr Davis should visit some
of the markets in Georgia—there
he would hear the farmers ex
press themselves in true form.
I signed a contract, myself,
but, triple Aor triple b! I re
spect every* man’s opinion and
। feel that he should not be pre
vented from carrying ou the dic
. tates of his own mind so long
as it is done in an honest and le
gal manner. Such rotten dis
crimination should not exist and
it is to be hoped that Congress
will do something to better the
situation
