Douglas Seeks Cotton Tariff for Arizona
In a Senate finance subcommittee hearing Representative Douglas of Arizona urged restoring duties on long staple cotton. He cited the 7 cent rate under the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the Fordney McCumber act removing it. He proposed 3 cents on 1 1 8 to 1 3 8 inch cotton and 7 cents on 1 8 8 inch plus, saying Arizona could raise output from 24 000 to 60 000 bales annually. Senator Harrison of Mississippi noted growers prefer higher rates on shorter staples.
