REVENUE TAXLEW
OF S2,OOO,OOO,OOO

Out of the chaos. the pickering,
parleying, trading. compromising, and
strategic maneuvering over the big
war revenue bill this seems TO be
the almost certain outcome:
1. A bill OF at least $4,000. 900. 900, q
billion more than proposed by the
Finance Committee.
2. The elimination OF all the So
called miscel' aneous consumption
taxes, aggI egating nearly half a bill
ion dollars.
3. Substantially increased levies
upon incomes of more than $1,000.
T. A levy OF somewhere in the
neighborNood Of $1,000, 100000 upon
war profits.
La FoIIette Men CONFIDENT.
This is substantially the program
of the La Fo lette "mAximalists" and
they declare they have the votes TO
put it over They are going to back
a war profits tax O; so per cent, and
II they can't get that accepted they
will propose a 20 per cent tax, and
keep offering gradually reduced
amendments until they hit the aceep-

tive Democrats supporting the bill In
its present form maintained their
claims of victory, but their claims
lacked the tones of confidence pre-
vailIng in the opposition camp. They
are not only confronted with the La
Fo lette movement. but their fank Is
badly exposed to the fire Of the South
ern Democrats who are opposed to
the pre-war basis for levying the war
profits tax. Unless they can put
down this mutiny they are doomed to
certain defeat
Committee Stands Firm
There is considerable reluctance on
the part OF the Finance Committee
to make any compromise on the pre-
war basis because 1 evolved that
scheme of levying the war profits
tax after the most exhaustive inves-
tigatIon. To give in now, committee
members declare, would necessitate
changing the whole foundation work
of the bill
Today's fight will center about

Hardwick OF Georgia expected to take
the floor to urge adoption Of his
plan to increase the second class
rates on that part OF publications de-
voted to advertising matter. Senator
Weeks OF Massachusetts, will move
to eliminate the whole scheme OF in
creased taxation upon newspapers. Fl
nance Committee plans to hold off
further consideration of the income
and war profits tax until after dis

In conclusion the Federal Apiarist
congratulated the local beekeepers on
the fact that although they would have
a short honey crop this year, away
under 100000 pounds, yet the whole
sale price offered is nearly double
that of last year, so that the beekeep-
er himself stands to gain. He noted
that the allies demand sweets, that
Americans consume 80 pounds of sug-
ar per capita, England and France
progressively less till we find the
Italians starving along on % pounds
per capita That is why, a shipload
of 1000 tons of honey was shipped this
year safely to Italy as an experiment
in supplying them with a sweet of
known magnificent food value and not
easy to spoil or deteriorate in a sunny
cline. In answer to the query that
cane sugar costs too much to feed
bees sugar syrup in fall during the
war, he parted with the query if it
were cheaper to lose all ones bees
over winter, and have to build anew
in the spring from pound packages Of
bees worth one to three dollars per
hive.
After the hours entertaining and
thoroughly instructive talk, the bee

The interest aroused among the bee
keepers by the visit of DR.. +. r. Phil
lips. the federal apiarist who attended
the Commercial club luncheon last
Thursday. as reported in the Sunday
TIMES has led to so many inquiries
that il has been deemed advisable to
publish the following synopsis Of the
address afterwards delivered at the
rooms of the Twin Falls Commercial
club to sixteen representative beekeep-
ers owning about 1000 hives in the
vicinity OF Twin Falls.
DR.. Phillips said in part that three
great factors must be considered with
regard to winter loss of bees and the
methods TO prevent such losses which
ran from so per cent to 100 per cent
with many apiarists. These factors
are briefly heat, moisture, and faces
regulation
HEAT In general heat of the hive
usually runs two degrees fahrenheit
ahead of all outdoor temperatures.
When the temperature outdoors al
lows the hive to be about 6O-65 degrees
Fahrenheit without special regulation
by the bees who themselves produce
the heat of the hive, it may be said
that the honey bees are the nearest to

low that Of so the bees begin to pro-
duce heat by increased tanning with
their wings. So marked may this be-
come that DR.. Phillips has recorded
difference of rs degrees in tempera-
ture between two points in a hive only
AZ inches apart The possibility of
such extremes is brought about by the
habit of the bees to fill empty comb
and available space between so as to
form a bail, the outer shell of bees
making wonderful insulation layer.
This ball begins to form by the time
the temperature in the hive or out
drops to 81 degrees F., the insulating

ful on the single day allowed by his
crowded schedule, and especially to
the Farm Bureau and DIR. White for

Like the Times remarks about the de-
light of Secretary of the Interior F.
X. Lane at the wonderful advantages
of this section, he found the possibil-
tiles inexhaustible, a nectar supply
which should afford ten times the
amount of honey now produced. And

The Ontario Department of Lands.
Forests and Mines proposes to spend
million dollars on a community
farm settlement project with the OBJ
ject of providing directly for the re-
turned soldiers The desirability for
agricultural purposes of the land in
the great clay belt of Temiskaming
and Northern Ontario, was reccg-
nized some years ago when the On
tario Government undertook huge
road building program. Immigra-
ton flowed in far ahead of the con-
struction work and would have con-
tinued but for the war.
The scheme calls for the purchase
of 4 block twelve miles square, with
community buildings in the center
in which the colonists may live until
they feel themselves fitted to take up
land in adjoining sections. At first
they will earn a living clearing the
central 200 to 800 acres for a demon
stration farm which will be stocked
by the government and from which
the soldiers may purchase on easy
terms, stock for their farms.

BRITISH FRONT, Belgium, Aug. 12.-Sir Douglas Haig in an eXtand- ed report of the days fighting says that not less than six determined counter attacks upon the part of Prince Bupprecht troops to recap ture the West Hook ridge, last night and this morning were successfully repulsed and that the enemy loss must have been very heavy. At one time the Germans almost reached the entertainments of the British trenches but were moved down with
