Crop Conditions.

The present wheat prospect
shows no material difference
from the June report being now
estimated at 43 per cent. Slight
damage to crop is noted by joint
worms. Ohio can not now hope
to produce a harvest that will E.
quail an average of seven bushels
per acre, and, as stated in prev
ious report, the total production
for the state will not exceed sew
en- million bushels. This will be
about one-fifth of the 1911 pro-
ductiOn.
Oats show an improvement
during the past month, the har-
vest prospect being now estima-
ted at SO per cent, based upon an
average production of 80 bushels
per acre being represented by
100 per cent in the report. The
estimated area seeded was l.
877,9 acres. From present
prospects this should produce
| 55, ,21O, ,887 bushels. The estima-
ted production of the 1911 har-
vest was 46, 442, TAP bushels. The
present oats area exceeds by
49, acres the area of last
year.
The area planted to corn shows
an increase of 5 per cent Ovel
the 1911 acreage. The total area
is estimated at 3, 1917, 1884 acres a
against 3,O48, 1874 acres last year

importer and exporter in Manila and
manufacturer of cigars there, who is
now at the Willard with Mrs. LOeffler
on his way around the world. Big

CONGRESSMAN IS
NOW DRAFTING AN
INCOME TAX Law
ByC. S. ALBERT

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Anticipat'
ing the early ratification of the in
come tax amendment to the Constitu.
ton, Congressman Cordell Hull, a
Democratic member of the Ways and
Means Committee, is. now drafting an
income tax bill which probably will
be the model for the committee In
perfecting such a measure during the
extra session of Congress. 49,.
. A tax upon unearned as we'll as
earned incomes, over and above So
900. is understood to be the tentative
plan of the Democratic House. 1t is
believed that the tax upon earned IN
comes will be put at one PEP cent,
and that upon -unearned incomes at
one and half per cent.
Democratic leaders estimate that
s1OO, 009, 900 to $50, 100000 may be
raised through an income tax, and
such a bill is slated as companion
measure to one of the tariff revision
bills which will pass during the extra
session next spring.
Congressman Hull is the author OF
the bill extending the excise tax
which passed the House Last session
and is considered the logical man to
draft a bill for submission to the
ways and means committee of the
House, which will handle this import
ant legislation. The Democrats in
tend an income tax TO supplant the
existing corporation tax law, as well
as the Underwood extension bill
which failed of passage in the Sen
ate last session. =.
Swollen fortunes will be reached
by the proposed new law, it is de-
c!ared today, and the man who has
an "unearned" income may nave i'm
posed upon him a graduated higher
rate of taxation, comparatively speak
ing. than the salaried man whose in
comes barely exceeds the proposed
$4,000 exemption.
The income tax bill will be intro
Guced in the House as soon as two
more States ratify the constitutional
amendment.
