States urged to carry cotton and back loans plan
Washington lawmakers debated a plan to issue state bonds to buy half of each planter’s cotton and carry it until markets recover. Senator Bankhead argued bonds would be paid in federal currency under the new reserve act, enabling relief while states accumulate cotton at 10 cents a pound. He predicted mills would run double time within six months as demand rises. South Carolina proposals to trim cotton planting and limit cultivation to four acres per working animal were prepared for state legislature.
