CITY TO PAY &C P. c.
DIRECT STATE TAX
Controller Shows S44,790,060
Assessed Here Out of $67,-
582,520 Imposed.

New York City has paid more than
66 per cent of the direct state taxes
levied since 1898. This is shown by
report made TO Controller Prendergast
by Robert B. Mcintyre, chief of the
Bureau of Investigation and Statistics
in the Finance Department The Con-
troller is seeking for suggestions for
constitutional amendments or laws
that will tend to insure greater uni
formity and equality in assessments
upon real estate and result in a more
equitable apportionment of county and
state expenses among the tax districts
of the state.
Since 1898 the state has levied eleven
direct taxes the amounts varying from
S74S,072 in 1902 10 S12,640,228 in 1899
in 1898 the City of New York paid al
most 81 per cent Of the levy, while in
1912 its proportion exceeded Y per
cent. The total amount of the direct
taxes was S67562. $50. of which this
city has paid S44,790,O60.
Mr.. Mcintyre calls attention to the
fact that most tax experts now favor
assessment OF property at its full val
uation, rather than a lower percentage,
which makes necessary so-called equal
izatlon for direct tax.

FOODSTUFF CROPS
TO BREAK RECORDS
Yield of Principal Grains
Promises to Exceed Aver
ages of Last Six Years.

Washington. July American farm
ers, confronted with feeding the world
while Europe is at war. have planted
record acreages of all principal crops.
Official estimates made public to-day
by the Department of Agriculture dis
close prospects of production exceed
ing the average of the last six years in
almost every important crop.
Based on the growing conditions on
July /, some foodstufT crops give
promise of new records. Their money
values promise records accordingly.
Corn, greatest and most valuable of
all American farm products, shows an
area of 100 PTS. 900 acres 800, 600 more
than ever planted with that crop be-
fore-and is expected TO produce 3
Sl4.O00.000 bushels. Despite wet and
cold weather for seven weeks, which
has retarded growth and cultivation in
the important corn states and forced
the condition 3.5 per cent below the
ten year average, the new crop is es-
timated to be 100000 bushels great
CT than the last ten years average, and
141 100000 bushels greater than last
years production.
The outlook for the billion-bushel
wheat yield continues to grow brighter.
Latest estimates raise the prospective
production TO 96S.000. 900 bushels, an
increase Of 10000 bushels since the
last estimate. Winter wheat, however,
shows a 81 per cent drop in condition,
which reduces its prospective produc-
ton 100000 bushels.
