Taxing Bachelors

Much has peen written, always IN d
humurous way, about taxIug bachelors,
but the United States Senate has ADOPTED
the principle in it's amendments TO the
income-tax law, says the Omaha World
Herald Under its provisions the eXenp-
ton of bachelors and spinsters rs 10 De
only $1,000, while the exemption OF mar
ried men and women is to be $1,000 EN-
emptions OF $500 for child or OF sloo'
for two children are also allowed. NO
exemptions are to be made Tor greater
number OF children than two.
Regarded entirely from the economic
point of view, there are many arSu-
ments to support such a policy III the
man is considered the agent for Great
ing wealth, and takes the responsibility
of a husband. it does not seem right
that he should be penalized for under
taking to support a wife and raise a
family of children, or that the man VINO
avoids such responsibilities should have
the advantage in the accumulation of
wealth 1t is an effort to equalize the
burden Of the support of the govern
ment, as between men with families and
those who have none A man who has
no family can much more easily pay
taxes than the man who, besides paying
the taxes, must support wife and cnil-
dren. 1t will be noticed that no dis
elimination in favor of women is made.
The unmarried woman stands exactly on
the same plane as the unmarried man.
The French government has recog-
nized this principle in some late enact
ments, but in an entirely different way.
1t gives a bonus to families that have
certain number of children.
1t is a new thing in government, and
it is somewhat surprising that it has
not called forth more comment than it
has.

TEXAS WEATHER
TROUBLES MARKET
Cotton Traders Interested in
COnditions-Upturn at
Last Hour

New York, July es.-After day spent
in trying to get line on the weather
situation in Texas traders in the cotton
market concluded that the rains sehed,
uled for Sunday had failed to materialize
in the big growing counties of the state,
and in an effort to replace part of their
big short line, caused a strong uptnrn IN
the last hour The market closed steady
with September points lower and other
months unchanged to points net higher
Previous to this final advance the market
had been of the weatherVane variety,
trying to get in step with the constantly
changing reports from Texas. 1t was not
until the detailed report was received
late in the day, that it became evident
Texas had received little rain In the sec
tions where 1t is most needed. Even then
it was a question II the plant could not
stand a week or so more without suffering
iireparable damage, some authorities
stating it could go dry until August 10,
but the trade had figured on rain and
its disappointment found expression in
big buying movement OF Oklahoma ana
the central and ea stern belts the reports
were again uniformly favorable, the for
mer state having apparently received am
pie moisture over Sunday. Liverpool
owed its decline of to 10 points at the
hour of the local opening to rumors that
Texas drouth had been broken, and 1t
caused a partial opening decline here
of 10 points on new crops, against
points advance in July. Heavy covering
of the old crop here, particularly of Au-
gust by a prominent spot house advanced
those months at one time to points
over Saturday and December crept on
October, owing to steady buying by
local trader. rumored condition figure
of 1916 by a southern authority brought
in some forenoon buying, but prevailing
sentiment up TO the late afternoon chung
to the bear side in hope that Texas
might get rain The fact that several
condition reports will appear this week
eliminating with the government figures
on Friday is expected to promote very
nervous market. and as the short In
terest is still large, a further covering
movement was expected by bulls, barring
good rains in Texas.

NERVOUS CLOSE IN
!. THE WHEAT MARKET
Huge Primary Receipts Act
as Burden-Corn Shows
Net Gain

Chicago July 2S.-Huge primary receipts
acted as a burden today on wheat The
market closed nervous, l.dssc to lie down.
Corn showed a net gain of ase to sc, with
oats varying from sc decline TO sc ad-
vance. The outcome for provisions ranged
from 2iac lower to an upturn of loc.
Arrivals of wheat today at the chief
terminal cities reached the extraordinary
total of 31ls.0oo bushels. as against 2,2s9.-
Geo bushels at the corresponding time a
year ago The visible supply too, IN
creased TO an unexpected extent. Stimuli
taneously new wehat was being offered
to arrive here from the northwest ana
there was word that Minneapolis had to-
day received the first car from the new
spring crop.
Weak cables gave the wheat market a
downward impulse at the outset. flne
weather northwest added to the bearish
feeling. None OF the export business was
reported here or elsewhere and milling de-
mand was also at a standstill. A couple
of little rallies were attempted, but the
news had been too one-s1ded ana buyers
proved wary throughout with the Decem-
ber option touching the lowest price OF the
year.
Seaboard clearances OF wheat anu houa
equalled ,657.000 bushels.
Alleged insufficieney of rain ran up the
price of corn. Many dispatches from Ill
nois and a few from Iowa reported the
crop to be firing. Damage advices from
Nebraska were worse, and Kansas estl-
mates pointed to the smallest yield there
since 1901 Oats followed corn early, but
later succumbed to the influence OF the
weakness in wheat Provisions held about
steady The effect of a decline at the
Yards was Offset by the bullishness af
corn.

COTTON CLOSESAT
GAIN OF 7-9 POINTS
Opening Session Steady on
Buying Stimulated By
Dry Weather

New Orleans, July 2S.-The opening
session of the week in the cotton mar
ket was steady on buying stimulated by
continued dry weather over a large part
of Texas and Oklahoma and the prospect
of little immediate change in conditions
which bulls claimed were working
against the crop. Moderate buying was
In evidence all day and at their best Of
ferings were scanty.
On the opening the tone was steady
with prices five points up to one point
down. Compared with the last quota
tions of Saturday, cables were better
tha ndue. The weather map indicated
rains in the eastern belt, but they were
taken into little or no consideration.
Around the middle of the morninS the
trading months were 8 points over Sat
urday's last figures. Toward noon the
market fell off under reports of much
open cotton in Texas and the claim that
picking would be general in the earlier
counties before the week was over.
Early in the afternoon the market stood
to points under Saturdays close. but
this small decline met determined Inivino.
and late in the day the market was ar
its highest levels to 10 points over
Saturdays last quotations The elose
was steady at net gain of to 3 points.

bles this morning We're lower owing
to continental selling although there
was a continuation of the spot demand
with sales of 10000 bales. Our market
opened lower and sold off in response
to these cables and to reports of fur
ther rains in the western belt
Ia would appear that so far north
Dallas has been thoroughly relieved
and portions of Oklahoma have had
good rain. On the other hand, central.
south and west Texas are without rain
and deterioration is already reported
from these sections of Texas. In spite
of the local feeling. which is very
bearish, and in spite of selling from
the south, there was general feel
ing among conservative operators that
the market had gone far enough in dis
counting this partial relief to the west

around the best for the day

PRICES ARE STEADY

Wholesale Markets Brisk at
Opening of the Week.
Grain Strong

Not a. change was registered in quota
tions yesterday. but Morris avenue deal
ers. ever optimistic. reported good bust
ness. The rain of Saturday had a salu-
tary effect and the opening yesterday
morning was quite brisk.
In the grain market there is an ex-
eeptionally good demand for flour and
the supply is in keeping. Due 10 the
hot winds in the middle west, and the
fact that there is but little rain in that
section, the price of corn is very strong
and there is a likelihood of an early rise.
The local grain market is now receiv-
ing the third cutting of Alabama alfalfa,
and the second cutting of johnson grass
from west Alabama.
Poultry and eggs are in good demaed,
but prices remain stationary The sup
ply continues to be in keeping with the
demand.
