CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April Frantic buying
and price advances of unparalleled
rapidity and extent resulted in the
wheat market today from a govern
ment crop report that was character
lied as the most sensational ever issued
in the United States. The closing was
wild, and in some instances at the
zenith quotations reached 6 to 14A
cents net higher-May SIP to s212A
and July $1.SS to SISSY
Corn gained 31c to 51ac. oats IA c
to 33s 03bc, and provisions 32c to
$165.
1t was not until business had been
under way half an hour that the gov
eminent crop report was received and
the wheat market began to somersault
in earnest. During the first thirty min
utes there was a swift break in prices
owing to news that German sea raiders
had been sighted off Nantucket and
the Virginia Capes, and that outbound
merchant steamships for Europe were
being warned back.
In view of the fact that with but a
single exception the crop condition
was the lowest on record at any sea
son of the year, and was far under
even the most bullish predictions, all
other influences were temporarily
thrust aside. Kansas and Nebraska
percentages especially showed sucn a
radical setback that many shorts who
at first We're dazed and incredulous
became afterward clamorous to cover
Strength in corn and oats was al
most entirely borrowed from the vio-
lence of the upSwing in wheat.
New high ground was entered upon
by provisions as well as grain. Owing
to the eXigencies of war the bul-e !,
grain and the scarcity of hogs, urgent
call existed for all packing house prod
ucts. Pork rose in value as much as

quately met by the present property tax nor by mere personal income tax on the owners of the business.
 In discussing the measure Of this tax which Professor Adams urged should be imposed on all business concerns, he pointed out that there is no perfect measure of any tax but said that personally he believed the most satisfactory measure would be accord ing to net income from the business. He suggested, however, that the rate should be graduated somewhat along the excess-prof1ts tax which he said has now spread to IA or 15 countries and is yielding handsome revenues in most of them.

HIGH SHOE COST
 NOT JUSTIFIED

Chicago, Nov. 15 = Questions oi serving the government and at the same time supplying the needs of the civilian population with leather were discussed yesterday at the convention here of the National Association of Tanners.
 At least two of the delegates in. clined to the belief that high prices for shoes Were not justified by trade conditions. The two, who refused permission to use their names, inti. mated that prices of $1o, SIP, SIS and $2o for pair of shoes were fixed for the reason that the seller thought he could get them
 People have been trained to ex. pect high prices, particularly in leather goods" they explained. There has been a legitimate ad- vance, but no such large increases in price are justified"
 Other delegates explained the ad. vance by citing the greatly increased demand, and particularly the num- Der of shoes being made for the armies of the world.

PROFITS TAX. MAY BECOME
 PERMANENT ONE
Prof Adams of Yale Elk presses This View Before
 National Tax Assn.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 15-Belief that it is exceedingly probable that an excess profits tax, now imposed as a war measure, will continue as a permanent part of the American tax system was expressed by Professor T. S. Adams, of Yale University, in an address he de- livered here today before the National Tax Associations convention. This tax ation of excess profits would be, in Professor Adams opinion, an expres- sion of the principle that the state and the community stand as silent partners in every business enterprise. Professor Adams is now serving as special adviser on taxation to the Treasury Department.
 He strongly advocated the taxing of all business units on their net income, the wisdom of which course has been for many years the subject of consid- erable difference of opinion by tax au- thorities and others interested in scientific methods of taxation. Pro- fes sor Adams admitted that the op- ponents of this method of taxation were able to present strong arguments in support of their position which un- doubted1y were worthy of full consid- eration but the fact remains, as he said, that i've shall never have even an approximately consistent scheme of taxation until the necessity for sep arate business taxation is recognized and imposts laid which are conscious ly designed to express the fiscal obli- gations of business as such.''
 According to Professor Adams. the Justification for this class of taxes if that a large part of the cost of gov ernment is traceab1e to the activities of business and to the protection which business as such enjoys ; was Professor Adams idea thA2 chi. | fiscal obligation. of business is not ade
