The ln-

this convention proved that the plan
of the Southern States Cotton Cor-
poration Is ono that tho world must
reckon with in the future.
Moreover tho plan has already prov-
ed that cotton can be sold for fifteen
centB per pound because It has al-
ready afforded relief to thousands of
farmers. With tho co-operation of
thinking cotton growers of the South
it is destined to become a factor in
cotton conditions of the future. That
it is receiving this co-oporation Is
shown by tho active organization ir
moro than 300 cotton growing counties
nnd the large volume of contracts now
being taken for the coming season.
The couvontlon will reveal tho rap-
id progress of the work throughout
tho South and tho active support of
many prominent bankers and business
men who will be in attendance.

sy between the gross production tax to

Another provision in tho ponding
bill which the conferees will not sub-
mit to according to their version la
that which proposed to render much
of tho apecial oil-coal-gas tax subject
to general state warrants. The exlst-i
Ing law says that the money collected
from these sources not specifically ap-
propriated by the legislature shall go
Into tho public school fund. Tho new
bill carries a clause that sweeps the
school fund aside and proposes to
mako tho unappropriated portion of
the- special tax available for general
state warrants. It was charged today
that one purpose of the clause ia to
further the Capitol building situation
by providing cash for state warrants
which may be issued for that project

ference committee will refuse to agreo
to such diversion of the funds.
