Smith Opposes Lever Cotton Bill in Senate Reported Defective
Washington June 11 Senator Hoke Smith after closer study of the Lever cotton futures bill reports it defective. He will not support the house measure as is and urges corrective legislation by other means. He criticizes Congressman Lever for expanding the senate bill into a detailed new proposal and for proposing a high bale tax. Smith favors excluding exchange business from post offices and telegraph lines to force honest deliveries and curb gambling. He says southern farmers deserve the senate approach that compels honest deliveries and breaks the gambling system.
