In union there is strength and in CO.
operation there is profit
The farmer can neither help himself
nor be helped by others until he or
ganizes.
The economic distribution of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem.
Our transportation systems are the
dray carts Of agriculture and can be
made capable peddlers Of farm pro-
ducts.
The middleman is nothing more than
a farm hand but he is able to fix his
own wages and to collect them and to
multiply his transactions as he pleases.
Bumper crops without market ia
cilities have sent more farmers stag
gering down the back alleys of agri-
culture than all the pests and droughts
that ever cursed the nation.

CARRIAGE BUILDERS DECLARE
FOR MERCHANT MARINE
Cheer Demand for Congressional Ac-

Condemned.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 3O--Cheers
followed the declaration of J. d. Dorl, of
Flint Mich, in the convention of the
Carriage Builders National Association
today that every representative industry
In the country should insist upon immedi-
ate congressional action for the creation
OF merchant marine.
Purchase of ships may create few
millionaires or even milionaires,"
the Michigan man exclaimed, but We
should not let that narrow point OF
view hold up the great destiny of this
country. We want action now when
action is needed"
II do not believe the manufacturers of
this country, even while many plants
are already working night and day to
fill rush orders from across the sea, have
even begun to realize how immeasur-
ably this war abroad is going to help
the United States" said w. C. Adams,
Cleveland manufacturer. Some people
are still so busy talking depression that
they are going to be caught mapping in
whirl of prosperity unless they wake
up"
Louis II. Roggc, Dayton vehicle
builder, severely criticiscs nonafliliated
manufacturers whose misrepresentation
he asserted, had given the trade such a
bad reputation that the Saturday Evening
Post refused TO sell advertising space to
several firms.

SENATE COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS CHANGES
IN HOUSE WAR TAX
Reduction in Levy on Bank
Capital and Revision of
Gasoline Clause Among
Proposals.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S0.-The Senate
Finance Committee, when 1t met today,
had before it proposals for several inn
portant amendments to the adminstra-
tion emergency revenue bill, recently
passed by the House.
1t has been proposed to reduce the tax
of 81 thousand on bank capital and
surplus to 81. Some members believe 1t
would be unwise to place a heavy bur-
of disturbed financial conditions due to
the European war.
Advocates of this change would revise
the gasoline clause and place a tax on
automobiles based on horsepower instead
of the levy of two cents a gallon on gas
oine. They say this would make up the
loss of revenue due to the cut In the
bankers tax.
The levy on accident insurance imposed
by the House also may be eliminated and
the committee is considering readjusting
the proposed tax on insurance policies.
subcommittee of the Finance Commit
tee were appointed to consider the various
sections Iney are TAX on Gasonne,
Senators Williams, Shively and Gore;
Banks and Brokers, Senators Stone,
Hughes and Williams; Stamp Tax. Sena-
tors Hoke Smith, Shively and James; on
a proposal to add two more classes OF
cigarettes to those already taxed in the
bill, Senators Simmons, Williams and
Johnson. Senator Simmons. chairman OF
the full committee, is an ex-offlclo member
of all the subcommittee.
All the appointees to the subcommittee
are Democrats, as 1t is planned to frame
the bill with only the Democrats present
and then to call in the Republican men,
bers before the bill Is reported to the
Senate.
Senator Pomerene, OF Ohio. Is fighting
the tax on sweet wines provided in the
House bill on the ground that 1t will
give an advantage to the California
products over the Ohio producers. The
discrimination, 1t Is declared comes in
the language containing more than 3
per cent. of saccharine matter"
The tax on such sweet wines Is 20 cents
a gallon, while the tax on other domestic
wines Is only IL cents a gallon. The
Ohio producers say they use sugar in
manufacturing their wines, while the
California producers rely upon fortifica-
tion with wine spirits which they are
able to obtain free of taxation.
