EMBARGO ON CAR
OF CORN
And OATS TO EAST

Washin2to ton. Dec. 6-An absolute
embargo upon carload shipments of
corn and oats into eastern territory,
effective at the close Of business next
Saturday night was issued today by
the Railroads Car Service Commission
at the request Of the food adminis.ra :
lion.
The administration says there is II
plentiful supply Of these produces in
the East for domestic consumption Dnd
The embargo is designed 10 divert q
large volume of the traffic in supplies
FOR the allies To Gulf and South Al
lantic ports. relieve congestion IN
eastern road and permit the return of
cars belonging to western lines.
a stateme. by the Food Admins
tration gives this explanation of the
necessity for the drastic action:
There is very considerable amount
of soft corn IN the Western section Of
the country this year. 1t is highly de-
sirable that this soft corn be moved
to markets having drying facilities as
rapidly as possible. 1t is thought that
with reasonable movement from now
on. the proportion Of rot will be COM
paratively very small.
The western lines are 81 .rt of the
number of box cars they own and
need these cars Very badly for grain
movement. The car commission a
short time ago issued an order requir-
ing eastern lines TO deliver TO western
lines approximately 10000 box cars to
relieve conditions the present embargo
is designed to overcome. but the re-
turns TO date show rather liGht de-
1iveries to the western lines"

COLLECTION WAR TAX
ELECTRIC CARS
BEGINS FRIDAY A. N.

Division Superintendent z. Z. Wey-
mouth Of the Lewiston. Augusta and
Waterville Street Railway Thursday
night stated that the collection of the
federal war tax on tile cars Of the
system would be made, beginning
Friday and explained why the collec-
ton had not been made before. This
tax applies only to fares in excess of
50 cents Said Mr.. Weymouth:
certain patrons of the Lewiston.
Augusta & Waterville Street Railway
have criticized the company on ac-
count Of its f.ilure to collect tine fed
eral war tax of eight per cent on fares
in excess of So cents paid the COM
pany for continuous journey This
criticism is an injustice to the COM
pany inasmuch as it has had no in
tention to G ade its obligations to the
government. and is paying all taxes
due since November LIST. when the law
became effective. out of its own treas
ury. Tie tax has not been collected
from the passengers on account of the
difficulties under its system Of fare
collection to identify the individual
passenger through his entire ride. The
law was obviously designed TO meet
steam railroad conditions and cannot
b" readily adapted to the Lewiston.
Augusta & Waterville Street Railway
traffic. However, a plan has been de-
rised for the collection of this tax
from the passengers and will be start
ed in operation tomorrow. Dec. !.
The tax applies only to fares in eX-
cess Of 30 cents and therefore on the
lines of the Lewiston, Augusta & Wa
terville Street Railway it will be ne
cessary to collect it only on the Lew
iston Bath and lewiston Augusta
Wateryille lines"
