1836 Outlook For
Cotton Brightest
In Several Years
New Orleans, La., Dec. 28 (AP)
—Growers and handlers say cot
ton will enter 1936 under the best
venditions in several years.
A guarantee of 12 cents a pound
for all cotton from this year’s
crop, a government program that
enables the staple to move freely
into the normal channels of trade
and a rejuvenated demand for
American cotton from abroad,
have combined to provide a dis
tinct improvement over the con
ditions a year ago.
Sales Tax Talked
As Substitute for
Tax Upon Payroll
Washington, Dee. 28 (AP) —A
luxury sales tax was put forth to
day by Chairman Buchanan, Dem
ocrat, Texas, of the House Appro
priations Committee, as a means
of giving financial backing to the
social security program.
The Texan’s suggestion was made
as congressmen, returning to the
crowded capital for another session,
discovered apartment rentals rising
and living quarters hard to find.
Buchanan's idea was to substitute
the tax for that which under the so
cial security law puts a levy on pay
rolls and employees. While there was
no indication whether there was any
White House backing for the propos
al, it was known that many adminis
tration officials frown upon sales
Dixcs.
A proposal that tho nation be split
Unto administrative segments, with
ten or twelve “little capitals,” was a
subject of controversy.
The American Liberty League de
scribed the plan suggested by the
President’s committee on natural re
sources as a “dictatorial” move de
signed to cut tho nation up “into
provinces, or satrapies.”
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla
homa, said it was worthy of conside

The People’s Lobby went into this

rather a radical organization. The
views expressed at its gathering here

(By The Associated Press)
The latest of a succession of bold
forays by Ethiopian troops against
Italy’s invading blackshirts, describ
ed in communiques from Addis
Ababa, gave a fresh complexion today
to Premier Mussolini’s “campaign of
occupation” in Ethiopia.
Practically stationery for weeks.
Italian forces on the northern front

If it has succeeded in doing noth

couraged Ethiopian arms has wor
ried the Italians, and inflicted small
but consistent losses.
The bodies of 20 Italian officers and
many natives, said the Ethiopian gov

field at Abbi Addi, and 100 of Italy’s
native soldiers were taken prisoners.

ration of the Agricultural Adjust

thousands of Laborers onto relief
rolls in cotton growing states, Dr.
A. B. Cox, agricultural econo

tical Association here today.
The cotton acreage control program
during the last three years has caus
ed losses of $280,000,000 to unskilled
laborers and tenant farmers, said Dr.
Cox, director of the bureau of busi
ness research of the University of
Texas.
"Stripped of its frills," he charged*
“the program is an attempt to bring
about a redistribution of wealth by
1 forcibly slowing down production.,’
Asserting that the cotton restric
tion program failed to recognize "in
terdependent relations among pro
ducers, laborers, processers and mer
chants.’’ Dr. Cox stated that “it is
utter folly to think that the heaVy
relief load in the South can be reliev
ed in the future as long as cotton
production is cut one-third.”
