FERTILIZER MEN CONFER
IN REGARD TO POTASH
Effort viii be Made to Stop
$40 Per Ton Export Tax by
German Government

The leading fertilizer manufacturers of
Georgia and several from neighboring
states met at the Piedmont hotel Thurs
day morning to discuss the situation with
reference to the increase in the exporta-
ton tax on potash from Germany, and If
possible to devise ways and means of
having the measure, now pending, which
provides for this tax, repealed before it
becomes a law.
The bill has already passed the lower
house of/the German reichstag, and there
is every reason to believe 1t will be APP
proved by the upper house. 1t provides
for an expert tax of $50 per ton on muri-
ate of potash and kainit, two necessary
and principal ingredients of the fertilizers
used in this country.
The real purpose of this tax. say the
fertilizer men, was to force man named
Adolph Schmidtmann back into the syn
dicato. The syndicate is an institution
fostered by the German government and
is the one outlet for all potash exporta-
tions from that country. Each member
of the syndicate is allotted a share of
the general expectation.
Some years ago, say the fertilizer men,
Schmidtmann got the idea that the syn
dlcate was treating him unfairly in the
matter of allotments. Whereupon ne
came to America and independent of the
syndicate, placed immense potash con-
tracts at the price then prevailing, about
$40 per ton.
AS result, the syndicate went to
pieces Extensive holdings of the crown
we're involved as the reigning house OF
Germany owns great potash mines. And
straightway the German reichstag, or
parliament, was asked to pass bill i'm
posing a tax of about $40 per ton on all
potash expectations.
Thus a situation arose which American
fertilizer manufacturers will have to
face The state department at Washing
ton has already taken steps to prevent
the final passage of the tax act, but ap-
parently this protest had little effect.
|. II the bill is made a law, 1t will mean
big increase in the price of general fer
tilizers, since Germany is the only coun-
try in the world where potash abounds.
AS the actual cost of potash is only
about 81 per ton, according to the fertil-.
zer men, $50 per ton-which would be the
price we're the special tax to be levied
would be exorbitantly high, with no
profit accruing either to manufacturers
or dealers In this country.
While no definite plan has been formu-
lated, il was stated before the meeting
convened that the fertilizer men would go
over the situation thoroughly, and not
improbably take decisive steps looking
to the solution of this vital problem.

800 COTTON BALES
DESTROYED BY FIRE

NEW YORK, May 26.-Three hundred
and twenty bales of cotton consigned by
James A. Patten to spinners abroad.
were burned last night in the hold of the
North German-Lioyd liner PTinz Fried
rich Wilhelm. at her pier in Hoboken.
The vessel was only slightly damaged,
and the blaze was extinguished after an
hours hard work by partly oodfling the
hold. The fire started from an electric
spark.
Only recently Mr.. Patten received an
order for $4,000 bales of cotton from for
eign spinners and he began shipping
abroad part of the vast consignment
which was delivered to him on May con-
tracts. 1t was to be delivered at Is cents
pound and accordingly, the loss by
fire last night will approximate $4,000.
The flames were hard to reach, because
of the dense volume of smoke. Sixteen
firemen were overcome. Finally, how
ever, the hold was sufficiently flooded
ard the blaze was under control.
The North German-Lloyd line announc-
ed last night that the Prinz Friedrich
Wilhelm would sail on time tomorrow.

homes and places of business against loss

watch our farms burn up.

Doherty aimed to control the water
power OF the United States.

"A busy public applauded the efforts

Doherty said the available water pow

excess of the amount of power now
generated either by fuel or water and
that if our public officers dealt in facts

he could see no reason why they should
