AIM POTASH TAX
At j, 5. FARMERS
German Law Was Passed
Through Efforts Made
by Potash Combine.
(American News Service)

New York, Dec 13.-Renewed at
tention is being directed to the pre-
dicament in which American farmers
have been placed by the action of the
German government in imposing a
heavy tax on exports of potash to the
United States.
In statement today by one of the
largest importers of potash. which is
an essential of all commercial fertil-
izers and is produced only in Germany
it is asserted that the tax law was
passed at the instance of the German
potash trust, "and for the expressed
purpose of depriving Americans of the
benefits of their low price contracts
with non-syndicate potash mines"
The statement continues: The
amount of this tax is more than the
entire cost at the mines to consum-
ers under their low price contracts,
and makes the price on deliveries in
the United States much greater than
the old syndicate prices
1.-THE American contracts were
made long before the law was passed.
This law was passed with the deliber-
ate intention to destroy existing con-
tracts, to coerce all mines into the
syndicate, and so to bring about a re-
turn to high prices and take away the
market made in America by low price
producers.
The tax falls upon the American
consumer of fertilizers because it is
provided in the contracts that all i'm
port and export duties or other gov
ernmental charges shall be paid by
the buyer"
Notwithstanding this, every effort
has been made to save American con-
sumers from the consequences of the
tax law, the effects of which are now
being severely felt. The hope is ex-
pressed that President Taft and Sec
rotary Knox in whose hands the whole
matter now rests, will be able to Sc
cure sAmerican farmers some relief
A representative of the state depart
ment who has been in Berlin endeav-
oring to bring about a favorable set
tlement, has just returned to the I'm
tied States, and the action of the ad-
ministration following the filing of his
report is anxiously awaited by agricul-
tural interests.

"Miss Powell"

In appearance Miss Powell is most
prepossessing-a rather slight. grace
full woman. with an intelligent counte-
nance. and an unaffected smile that
in itself is strongly in her favor Her
instrument must be of the sort rated
as priceless. In her hands at least, it
responds with voice of almost hum
an tonal qualities-qualities OF the
kind that touch the responsive chord
of human sympathy.
or all the great violinists whom it
has been the writer's good fortune to
hear--and that means many-not one
In his opinion has drawn bow over
such exquisitely pure, limpid tones as
did Miss Powell last night, and in the
matter of refinement, accurate inton-
alton and perfection of technic she
has hardly been excelled by any Of
them.

"AoWc's Pictures"

Il never saw anything like it be-
fore and never will again." was the
general verdict of over two million
people who witnessed the funeral of
the late King Edward. Nearly as
many people who saw the actual
event have seen it since it's occur
renee by means of Lyman II. Howe's
reproduction which will be at the
Gennett on Friday, December Is. 1t
is SO impressive that it took the press
and public completely by surprise
notwithstanding Mr.. Howe's assur-
ances in advance. At the same time
1t has inspired some valuable sugges-
tons for the future. One of these is
for Mr.. Howe to establish a national
film library to give posterity a privi-
lege which we in our day would con-
slider priceless. In every program
Mr.. Howe shows how people live and
move in other lands than ours and
such scenes surely would be more in
teresting to men of the future than
they are even to us.
