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."
