Cotton Bill—A Triple Threat To |
The Taxpayers '
The Cotton Bill (HR 6796) do-|
bated and passed by the House cof
Representatives this past week
calls for a triple playv with the
taxpayer caught out. This bill calls
for a third subsidy on cotton and
is classic case of what happens to |
a segment of the nation's pmnn:n}’
when we begin to tamper with freec |
markets and free enterprise by in-|
jecting the artificial factor of L!u\'-l
ernment subsidy. |
The Agriculture Act of 1949 au-|
thorized the Secretary to set ;\l'i('(\i
supports for cotton at any level
from 65 to 907 of parity 'l'hi\l
means that the price at which mn‘;
cotton farmers can sell their crop |
is increased by the injection of a
Federal Price Support program.|
The current price of cotton is 79 |
!()f parity or about 32': cents pv:'f
pound. |
& Incident to raising the domestic |
price of cotton, it was impossible ln{w
sell American cotton in world|
markets at the artificially increased |
price. Therefore. if we were lu!
find an export market for lhi,\’

OAKLAND, MARYLAND
'nm'i(-uitm‘:nl product, we must re-
I duce the price in order to channel
!i' into the stream of world com
| merce. Accordingly, since the world
price is lower than the United
Iflmlt‘s price, the Commodity Cred
iit Corporation subsidizes the ex
ipm't of cotton by payments to ex
'pnrt(\rfi. This subsidy is currently
iR‘: cents per pound.
| Thus, we have an artificial in
icrease in the price of cotton on
[the domestic front and an artificial
decrease on the export market—
two separate subsidies, the second
having been created by the first.i
The Cotton Bill passed by the
| House will add still another step
'to this economic chain l‘oaction.[
| Because the domestic price is rais-i
‘ed. the export price of cotton is
lowered. This means textile manu
ii'nmurvrs in other parts of the|
[\\'urld are able to buy American |
cotton cheaper than our American
lmunufuvlurvrs and thus have a
competitive advantage in the world
it(‘xtilc market.
| The solution, and 1 belicve a
fallacious solution, advanced by the |
Cotton bill is to add still a third
subsidy. It would make this third
’suhqi(ly available to domestic mills |
S 0 they can buy cotton at a m'ico;
not in excess of the export price.
\This subsidy would amount to
‘about 6 cents per pound.
‘ In terms of the cost to the tax-|
payer, we would be increasing thoi
cotton subsidy program by another |
iSZ‘l:’) million to a total of abnut}
three-quarters of a billion dol]ars.i
In terms of individual companies,
!pa,\’nwms involving many millions |
of dollars would be made to tvx-;
e s i i
{tile manufacturing companies. And
!in terms of our whole agricultural
‘(-u’-n(:m\'_ it will mean that we
|\\-nuld be piling subsidy upon sub
sidy for a triple play at taxpaver's
l expense,
1 felt forced to oppose this legis-
I]miun. I am certainly interested in
la healthy cotton industry, but I
'want to have it prosper in a health
'(ul way. I am hopeful that the
_}(‘(mnn Bill will be re-considered
lf:md altered when it comes up for
_l(li%('us.‘:inn in the Senate.
| Civil Rights Legislation
I; Proponents of action on Civil
_imgm:: legislation in the House of
Representatives in 1963 have sug
'f_:.:ostc(l that a petition be filed to
:fdiscl)m'gv the bill from the Com
| mittee on Rules. T do not pelieve
’that this would be a constructive
[lc()urso of action at this time. }
I The legislative experience of tho‘
‘!(‘nngrecs has illustrated the n(‘vos-“
| sity of study of legislation by Com
imittoos. and intemperate use of‘
| discharge petitions tends to sub
|vert the essential Committee sys
| tem. For that reason I have never
[signod such a petition.
| But in this case, there is a more
| practical reason for attempting al
| ternative solutions to resolve the
| Civil Rights problem in the House
this vear. A petition could not pos
sibly be effective to bring the bill
to the Floor of the House until
December 23rd at the earliest.
' This would make it improbable
that action could be completed by
December 31st.
Thus it would seem futile and
| ineffeetual to exacerbate feelings
‘and create potential obstacles for
| passage by this summary proced
ure.
If the majority leadership wishes
immediate action it may bring the |
ibill to a vote on December 11, 1963
| under the rule commonly called
| Calendar Wednesday. In this pro
! ceeding Committee Chairmen may
| call up for House action any bill
! pending on the calendars of their
| respective Committees. In his turn,
:?\’lr. Cellar. Chairman of the Judi
| ciary could call up the Civil Rights
| bill.
| It is my hope that the leadership
will employ the Calendar chnos-l
day procedure and force this mat-|
ter to a vote on next Wednesday.
| While 1 believe that discharge
| petitions are disruptive of con
isn'umi\'v Committee procedure, if
the Calendar Wednesday proceed
ing is tried and fails and the only
| effective means of accelerating ac
| tion on Civil Rights is byway of
' a discharge petition., 1 will then
{ consider adding my name to that
i petition. .
I Surmer Employment In 1
| Government
| The House has also passed a hill}
THE REPUBLICAN, OAKLAND, MARYLAND
| (TR 10) to extend the apportion
| ment requirement in the Civil
, Service Act to include temporary !
_summer employment by the Fed
. cral Covernment. There are sev
teral reasons why I was opposed
_to this bill, l
l In the first place, Civil Service
| apportionment in summer mnplny-l
‘ment has become an :mu('hmui.s'm.|
. It was a good idea when most nf‘
| the jobs that fall within the scope |
,'nf this legislation were located in,
Washington, D. C. Today. hn\\'(-\'vr.;
the inereasing proliferation of F(-(I-‘
l;(-ral employment opportunities in!
“all sections of the country has
‘.‘madv the concept obsolete. |
\ Individuals who take sumnwr"
|jobs with the Federal Government |
| receive the benefits of oxpori(‘n(-(-|
Jand financial compensation. 'l'hol
Government, in turn, benefits since |
Amany of these young people Iw-i
.'(-nme interested in federal (‘mpln_v-’
{ment as a career. Also many high-|
2 ly skilled and trained men :md!
| women from the professional ranks
|of educators make important con
| tributions to the Government dur
ing this summer employment.
An apportionment x-(-quiromvnti
{such as proposed in HR 10 is con-!
tradictory to the merit system of !
employment it propounds. A high-
Iv skilled individual who wishes
summer smployment may not be
hired simply because his State
quota has been filled. To so im
pose a quota system on top of
the competitive examination sys-.
tem would lead to administruti\'c'
chaos.
1 believe nationwide competitive
examinatioins would be an easier
and more effective method of in-l
suring fairness and the highest
level of competency in the solec-l
ition of individuals for temporary
summer employment. On this basic
only the ckilled will quality and
the standard of the merit system
may begin to become a workable
reality.
