THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
lENITE HAS
! COTTON PLAN
Suggestion Made By H. C.
Hahn That Five Million Bales,
Bought By Government, Be
Kept Off Market Until 1916
or 1917.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Aiken, S. C.—Mr. 11. C. Hahn, one
of the most progressive farmers of
Aiken county and a leading merchant
of the city, has evolved a plan which
he believes will, If put Into operation,
relieve the cotton situation. While Mr.
Hahns plan provides a remedy that
could only come from the national
government, at the same time It com
prehends a legal restriction of the 1915
and perhaps the 1916 cotton crop.
Mr Hahn's plan, in short, is that
the national government Issue four
per cent bonds to the amount of $250,-
000,000, buy and retire from the market
5,000,000 bales of cotton. It Is, how
ever, provided in the plan proposed,
and is shown how the national govern
ment, though actually taking the cot
t< n off the market, will be asked to
run no risk of possible loss.
The main objection to other plans
proposed that one section of the
country finding no benefit In a broad
proposition to relieve a condition ex
isting in another section -objects to
what may lie considered sectional leg
islation is. Mr. Hahn claims, elimi
nated in his proposition.
Mr. Hahn's plan provides that the
5,000,000 bales so bought tiy the na
tional government with the bond issue
of $250,000,000 be kept off the market
until 1916 or 1917, or perhaps not that
long if the surplus cotton Is used up
in the meantime and prices g<> to ten
cents or above. These 5.000,000 bales
so bought would represent, in round
numbers, one-third of the cotton crop.
"Hut.” says Mr. Hahn." to be on the
safe side, let the government, through
its agents, buy one-fourth only of each
farmer’s cotton at ten cents a pound,
husiH middling. If a farmer makes
only four bales be would have the right
to sell one to (lie government at ten
rents; If he makes 100 bales, let the
government take 25, to l*e paid for
with bonds issued for tbal purpose.
"Now there would be due $10,000,-
000 interest each year. We have no
right to ask other sections of this
country to lose on this deal or to con
tribute to It, therefore, let every acre
of cotton In excess of ten acres to the
plow be taxed, say $2 to $2 per acre
for the next two years. If the same
amount of cotton as usual be planted
there would be. In round numbers, 26.-
000,006 acres taxed, but no doubt the
acreage throughout the cotton belt
will he reduced, say 25 per cent. That
would leave 10,000.000 to be taxed nny
vvny, which would not only give the
government plently to pay the interest,
on the bonds, but also a sinking fund
ngninst the retirement of the bonds
"Some one might ask, 'Suppose the
farmers stick to ten acres per plow
and plant no more, where would the
Interest come from- First, there is
not the remotest chance that the cot
ton planters will do that, but In case
they should, that would reduce the
supply of cotton so much that it would
Jump to such a price which would en
able the government to aell Its cotton
holdings and still pav Interest and
bonds and make a substantial profit
besides.
“These bonds would run only three
years. After they should he retired,
the surplus, which no doubt would he
quite a snug sum, I would suggest that
the government use In building good
roads In the cotton-growing states,,
each state to receive benefits In pro
portion to the taxes on the acreage
paid In."
