Temporary Relief Bill for Cotton Growers Proposed
Washington Representative Henry of Texas opens a revised bill to aid cotton growers by enabling government loans via state and national banks as trustees. The plan fixes a 10 cent per pound value on this year’s crop, with treasury notes totaling 500 million dollars deposited in banks across southern states. Banks would loan to producers at 10c per pound, insured and warehoused, with cotton held as security and sold when market hits 12c in Savannah. The act would expire June 30, 1916.
