A special conference was celled by

How states and counties are put-
ting money in the pockets of the
farmers by investing in the Improve-
ment of public roads is shown by a
statement Just issued by the Office
of Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture. Definite- cases are
cited in support of the argument that '
where bad roads prevail farmers ire
forced to'move their crops not wnen
the market price Is favorable, but
when the roads are favorable.
Two farmers living in separate
counties, but at an equal distance
from the cotton market, learned by
telephone that ootton had advanced in
price 11.00 per bale. The farmer liv-
ing on a bad road responded by haul-
ing one bale of cotton, which was all
he could get over the unimproved
road, while the other farmer was able
to haul four bales, owing to favor-
able road conditions. The rise u»
price gained a profit of 84.00 to one
rnan and 81.00 to his neighbor.
It is shown in the statement that
it is common for.toe
that he cannot haul -J

But. If cotton Is substituted for corn,
and this so-called farmers guaranteed

stituted for the government, the exact

Hence, we cannot refrain fron

in circulation within lhe United
States. While on the other hand, Jute
and burlap are the products of slien
farmers who do not spend one penny
in the United States, nor do they em-
ploy labor in the United Stales, nor
do they contribute one penny to the
support of any public- or private in-
stitution in the United States, as do
the American farmers who raise cot-
ton. So when the last named com-
mittee heard that the Juty on Jute ano
burlap was to be reduced, they ad-
dressed a joint communication to the
members of . the Ways and means
committee and suggested that the
duty on Jute and burlap remain un-
disturbed, as one of the means of
raising revenue to pay a part of the
enormous * expense of the Unite J

den of which expense falls on the

ATTORNEY GENERAL LOONEY, THE

Farmers' Fireside Bulletin Isn’t here
going to discuss the fiasco against the
Magnolia Petroleum Co. by which the
Attorney General was compelled,
the facts, to give a verdict of
guilty in their case.
What we want to do here is to di-
rect Oanoral Looney's attention to a
trust that Is really Injuring Texae—
and literally “fleecing and skinning"
the farmers of Texae. I refer to
cotton seed oil trust. It is well
known that the cotton seed ell mills
are In a combine against the farmers.
And, to make their grip the more re-
lentless, they own a vast majority' o!
the cotton gins and control those
they do not own—not ten per cent of
the gins belonging to farmers, who
ought to own every gin and press la
the country.
In Greenville, Texas. Gen*’’»i Loon-
ey’s own home town—is such a con-
cern. If General Looney doesn’t know

twenty bushels in a warehouse
(provision for which is not made),
and on the receipt he receives,

WHY HELP FLEECE FARMERS?
With Tom Ball out of the race,
the prohibition Democrats of
Texas have as avaiiabies the pres-
ent comptroller, Mr. Lane; ttfr
present lieutenant governor, Mr.
Mayes, and the rnan who, accord-
ing to Hugh Nugent Fitzgerald,
resembles Napoleon—Cullen Thom-
as of Dallas. It is quite probable
there will be a free-for-all con-
fernce next winter, the purpose of
which will be to agree on candi-
dates for all the state offices—
what Samuel Palmer Brooks calls
"the process of elimination." Mr.
Lane has already announced his
candidacy, but he will forego his
aspirations for the good* of the
cause—all patriots do that—pro-
vided, of course, the conference
should prefer another. It is not
known to what extent the “Bailey
question"—we call it that for con-
venience—will enter into next
year’s campaign. Both Mayes and
Thomas were opponents of Mr.
Bailey when the latter wanted jo
go as a delegate to the Denver
convention. The skme is true of
Samuel Palmer Brooks, who might
be brought out for governor were
it not that he has senatorial aspir-
ations. At present it looks like
either Mayes or Thomas; the Lane
candidacy isn’t setting the woods
on fire—Waco Times-Herald.
And in this, as we ‘swatting’ lhe

the Dallas News has been giving col-
umn after column at its very valua-
ble space in -favor Of a well known
■scheme to tie up the cotton crop by
contracts on a promise (or "guaran-
tee" ? to pay 15 cents a pound, no
matter what the real market value of
i cotton may be. We have before
remarked that we could scarcely be-
lieve the News obtuse enough to be-
lieve that "blue-sky” cotton- schetnfej
i sound, safe or sane Yet, as that
great newspaper, at every opportun-
ity, continue 1 to give unduly large
( space to the “publicity" plans of the
scheme, without editorial protest <and
recently it very forceably and truly
said it was the duty of a
newspaper to inform its readers of
facts and warn them against insidious
schemes) we naturally concluded the
News really believed that "blue-sky"
15 cent cotton scheme was a reason-
able, practical, safe business proposi-
tion. But the following extract from
an editorial in ’the News Monday,
July ?8th, proves that the News is
I not so dull as we feared, even
though, alas! not so ready te "in-
form” and “warn" readers as we
Hugh Nugent Fitzgerald of the
Fort Worth Record, gives it out
that Governor Colquitt is an
avowed candidate for Senator
Culberson's senatorial toga, and
that ex-Governor Campbell, Post-
master General Burleson and Con-
gressman Robert L. Henry are
probable candidates He has it
that Senator Culberson has
Bright's disease and will likely
resign, or, if not, will not stand
for re-election. Mr Fitzgerald
also has ex-Senator Bailey slated
as a candidate and a winner for
the governorship in 1914. There’s
"gonna" be something doina in
grand old Texas next year—Ennis
Daily Jx'ews.
Since the above was published, Sen-
ator Bailey has declined to be a
candidate for Governor. But. in the
same letter (alas! for the horde of
■mall politicians who are giggling ir
ghoulish glee over Senator Culberson's ;
illness) Senator Bailey makes it plain,
he would not decline on a call of tha
paopla of Texaa to again represent
them in the Senate. Hence, indeel,
there's- “gonna" be something doing i I
grand old Texaa next year.". In fact,
it'a already doing. THE PEOPLE WILL
DO IT, TOO.
