MILK FIRMS CUT PRICE
CHICAGO DISTRIBUTORS TO PAY
FARMERS So PER HUNDRED.
Consumers to Pay 70 Cents Quart
Beginning Today-Producers In
Three States Affected.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-AIilk will sell at II
cents o quart retail in Chicago begin

nouncement was made that the maxi
mum price paid for the product whole
sale will be So a hundredweight. This

ell and later by the Borden Farm Prod
ucts company, who posted notices on

Farmers are demanding $3.42, the
October price, in many of the districts,
and Boone. Winnebago and McHenry
counties have gone to $3.71. They
declare the distributors Will not obtain
milk from them at the lowered price.
Milk producers of the Elgin district
accepted the gage of battle with coun-
ter-notice that unless the increased
price is paid, the dealers will get no
milk from them. The dairymen de-
clared they were acting as individuals
rather than as members of the Elgin
Milk Producers association.
The distributors say that it will be
possible for them to sell milk TO the
consumer at u cents a quart if the
wholesale price is reduced to So. It
now sells at 10 cents quart.
The reduction In the wholesale price
declared by the Borden company af-
fects nearly every county in Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin within a radius
of 100 miles from Chicago.

Producers association, predicted trou-
Bile because of the reduction in the
price of milk for November. He said
he had been notified that the farmers
would call meetings of protest.

started the campaign for SO milk, de-
clared that his firm would stand pat
on the proposition. He said that he

price to carry on his business as usual

Washington.-Uncl Sam is rather
pleasantly surprised at the way the
nation is standing the war tax gaff.
The grouching, such as there is. has
been growled in a minor key, and most
of it comes from the trouble-makers,
the whining pacifiSts, those of a sick
ly cast of loyalty.
Nobody really enjoys paying excess
taxes, such as three cents postage for
letters, extra charge for freight, ex-
press and passenger transportation,
telephone and telegraph messages and
amusements. But all true Americans
who realize that the kaiser is to blame
for the trouble, stand ready and will
ing to pay their share of the cost of
exterminating the worlds greatest
menace.
BY the way, do you know that If
you are single and earn more than
$1,000 yearly, you must pay two per
cent tax on what you make ever ST 600.
And if you are married, you must pay
two per cent on what you make over
$1,000. The tax for all of 1917 must
be paid by June 1, 1918.
All of the new taxes fall upon the
average man. They have nothing to
do with the transcription of wealth"
They are a part of the program of
taxation to make each man, woman
and child in the United States feel "a
direct personal part in the war. They
apply to freight, passenger and ex-
press transportation pipe lines, Pull
man seats and berths, telegraph and
telephone messages, insurance poll
cies, admissions 60 theaters and
movies" and to club dues. The eff
feet of most of them is felt, therefore,
in aYslight rise in the high cost of
living.
The taxes are expected to net the
federal government the following rev.
enues:
Freight transportation. -. ST. 100000
Express transportation. -. 100000
Passenger transportation. 60,000,OO0
Pipe lines. 100000
Seats and berths. ...... 4,OOO,OOO
Telegraph and telephone
messages .............. I,OOU,OOU
Insurance policies ........ 100000
Club dues ......~....... 100000
Admissions ............ 5OO00,G00
The wan tax on facilities furnished
by public utilities IS now levied as
follows:
Three per cent of the amount paid
for TRANSPORTATION by rail or water or
by any form of mechanical motor pow
er in competition with carriers by rail
or water, on freight consigned from
one point in the United States to an
other.
One cent for each twenty cents or
fraction charged by express compa-
MES for transportation from one point
in the United States to another.
Eight per cent of the amount paid
for the transportation of persons by
rail- or water or by any form of me-
chanical motor power on a regular
established line in competition with
common carriers, from one point in
the United States TO any point in the
United States, Canada or Mexico
