his MESSAGE to Congress. the mutter-

been growing more and more audible.
Not only are the Republicans show

many Of the Democrats are not con-

which h already manifested against the
EasoleTte and automobile taxes
With respect to the tax proposed for
manufactures OF steel, its opponents are
saying It is q tax on production, and
that this policy Is a great mistake.
It might be supposed the proposed
taxes on Rasolene and automobiles
would hnd little opposition from the
agricultural States and districts. But
this Is not the case On the contrary.
with many farmers owning automobiles
ana using gasolene not alone for auto
mobiles. but for RAsolene engines for all
manner OF farm purposes, there is
strong opposition from many members
representinE agricultural parts OF ethe
country.
One OF the strong opponents of the
EaSoleFeN and automobile taxes is Con-
Efessman Steele Of Iowa. the only Demo-
cratic member from that State. He said
such taxes would be hardship to his dis
trtct. and that Easolene tax would hit
every farmer who owned an automobile
or used a Rasolene engine for power of
anylsort.

One notable feature of the purchases

milk has turned into a jelly. which
happens pretty soon. Partaken of
