Mr. Jordan will deliver an address on
“The M Intakes of the Present System
of Marketing Cotton” at the convention
of the industrial congres, which con-
venes at Houston beginning November
15, and he will no doubt bring a mes-
sage that will be of interest and value
to every citizen of Texas.
In the course of his letter to Mr.
Kleberg, Mr. Jordan says:
"It is particularly gratifying to me
to note that the bankers and business
interests of your great state are mak-
ing ready to take an active part in the
future handling and marketing of the
cotton crop. I thoroughly join you in
your views en tl ia subject and amn sat-
sfied that the plane you are now laying
will result in -greet material benefit
not only to the agricultural conditions
of Texas, but also to every other line
of industry in your state. The lead
which Texas is preparing to take upon
this Important matter through the me-
dium of your industrial congress should
be undertaken by all other -cotton
states in order that there will be in
the years to come a hearty co-opera-
tion of purpose all along the line. •
“Cotton is our chief money crop and
the most valuable financial asset to all
of our people, and the bad manner in
which the crop la handled on the mar-
kets each season and the great amount
of unnecessary expenne, and waste at-
4nehed therein is a sad reflection npon
the intelligence and min hood of the
entire southern people."
Indications are favfhble that the
“I think I can help you,” answered
the attorney. He read from a stock
and bond company’s pamphlet which
a unted the high and low market prices
in the period covered as between 23
and 174, with an average of about 180.
After further queationing along the
same line, which brought out no new
facts, Commissioner Clementi inter-
posed an inquiry which directed the
auestioning along a new line, that of
the use tn which stock sale money waa
nut and the possfbility of actual gains
of the company being hidden in its
owning stock and bonds in subsidiary
companies. The Controller answered
thia queationing by insisting that when
the parent company paid out mainte-
nance costs for subsidiary companies
and the subsidiaries paid back divi-
dend*. those returns were not properly
sources of income to be considered in
computing dividends.
