Washington.-Uncle 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 minor key. and most
Of it comes from the trouble-makers,
the whining pacifists, those of 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 II
you are single and earn more than
$1,000 yearly, you must pay two per
cent tax on what you make over 81 900.
And II 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 "conscription of wealth"
They are 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 to theaterS and
movies" and to club dues. The ef-
feet of most Of them Is felt, therefore,
in slight rise In the high cost Of
living.
The taxes are expected to net the
federal government the following rev.

The war 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 rnil
or water, on freight consigned from
one point in the United States to an
other.
One cent for each twenty cents or

nies for transportation from one point
In the United States to another.
Eight per cent Of the amount paid
for the transportation of persons by

chanical motor power on a regular

No Power to Fix Prices.

! The government food control plans do
not contemplate fixing of prices for
meat and dairy products, Herbert c.
Hoover told the live stock conference
yesterday. The food administration has
no power to fix prices in these indus
tries. he stated, nor does he believe that
such procedure would be wise.
Mr.. Hoover said the food administra-
tion had the fixing of wheat prices
forced upon it because of certain spe-
cial conditions. Saying that as long as
there is increased demand for meat
and decreasing production prices would
soar, Mr.. Hoover continued:
Il cannot believe there is panacea
for situation of this kind. said Mr..
Hoover Our problem is to increase
production. The best we may expect is
a slow development toward the ends We
seek. Drastic control of packing plants,
with government operation as alterna-
tive. will not work. We can administer
| food control only through the co-opera-
| tion of all interests concerned.
! Have Never Asked That Power.
There is no power in the food bill to
| fix prices and we never have asked that
power. Everywhere in Europe price-fix-
ing-that is. the naming of maximum
prices-has failed. We had the fixing of
wheat prices thrust upon us, as it is our
duty to purchase 80 per cent Of the crop
for export, and we had the wheat COM
mittee name price as a guarantee to
producers and to stop speculation.
Inc meat SITUATION Is Such that high
price to producers is guaranteed for many
years. If war were to end suddenly, or il
the submarine were to be overcome, how
ever. great stores of wheat would be re-
leased in Argentina, Australia and India
and the bottom would have dropped out
! of the market in this country. These
three nations will have on hand soon
enough wheat to feed the world, but ships
cannot be had to transport it.
| Beef and pork present different situa-
| tons. We export a small amount of
/ beef, relatively, but now are over
exporting pork. and it may become neces-
| sary to take measures to keep a proper
relation between the price OF corn and
| hogs. We want your advice as to how
| this may be done.
Prices Must Be Stabilized.
There is nothing tnat can be done to
| stop this rise in meat prices If the
shortage continues, but If we stabilize
prices the rise Will move at continuous
! level Producers must have a price
| that will stimulate production and
must get that price. though there can
be no government guarantee, and I
agreement as to the prices that should
be paid"
| general discussion that followed
| Mr.. Hoovers address developed that
many of those attending the confer
ence were of the opinion that prices
| might be stabilized to some extent
| through Capitalization of the allied
/ purchasing.
(; Walter l. Fisher, former Secretary
of the Interior. said that the allied pur-
| chasing necessarily would affect Amer
| ican food markets, and that its control
would in large measure give the food
administration control of meat prices.

There is no greater food problem
facing the country today than the prop
er utilization of the skim milk now go
ing to waste" Mr.. Glover said. ut is
being fed to pigs in greater quantities
than need be-
Mr. Glover took issue with statements
made previously to the conference that
dairy cows are being sold for meat he
said only such cows were being Sold,
as a rule. which could be replaced pS
better ones.
The best way to keep up our supply OF
dairy cows is for retail milk dealers TO
do what they now show disposition to
do. pay the producer an adequate price.
he said.
Low Price of Butter.
1T is noteworthy that the price of but
ter is low in comparison with the value
OF the milk used in its making. This
arises from the fact that the public Will
only pay so much for butter. and will go
without 1t when it passes certain price
levels.
Labor was cited by Mr. Glover as one
of the greatest needs of the farmer. and
he said that provision for labor is an es-
sential of any program looking to- In

TAMMANY TIGER
 SLIPS ONE OVER
 IN THE PRIMARY
Bennett Leading Mitche| for the Republican Nomination; Three
 Cornered Fight.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-A recount of the votes at the Republican city primary show former State Senator William s. Bennett leading Mayor John Purroy Mitchell for the Repub Iican nomination. If Senator Ben nett should receive the Republican nomination, as now seems to be in evitabIe, it will mean three-cor' nered fight for the MayoraIity, with Judge Hylen as the straight Demo cratic or Tammany candidate, May or Mitchell the candidate of the County Democracy and the Civic Union. 1t is conceded that such a result will greatly enhance the pros. poets for a Tammany victory.
 Friends of Mayor MitcheI, inde- pendent Democrat, accuse Tammany of furnishing many voters to the Republican organization to cast bal. lots for Senator Bennett with the hope of bringing about the condition that seems to prevail. Tammany has always been successful when three strong candidates were in the field in New York.
