FIRST FOOD BILL UP
BEFORE SENATE AGAIN
Senator Reed Opens Debate With
Statement About Wheat situa-
ton in the Country.

day resumed consideration Of the first
food bill, known as the bill to stimulate

tional census of food. purchase by the
Secretary Of Agriculture Of seed to sell
carrying appropriation for continuing
the fight to eradicate the cattle tick and
hog cholera Senator Gore called up the
bill Immediately after conclusion Of the
morning hour and 1t will be kept be-
fore the Senate as the unfinished BUSH
ness.
Senator Reed opened the debate by
declaring that he intended to make a
statement as to the real condition Of
the wheat situation because SO much
false information is being furnished
the country and we ought to deal with
prices which the farmers received for
their wheat.
Senator Reed said there has been no
abnormal boarding Of wheat. and that. 1t
was only after the supply was low that
the prices became high. Statistics, show
from the farmer to the mills, thence to
Europe, the Missouri senator added. The
visible supply is ordinarily from 50,000,-
900 to 100000. bushels. he said but
early this month. 1t was only 33.000,000
bushels
Senator Reed produced figures show
ing there is world shortage Of 10O,-
000, 900 bushels and an artificial short
age amounting to approximately $780,
100000 bushels due in part to the shut
ting off of Russia because of the war
and the lack OF ships with which to
carry wheat from Australia In order
to remedy the situation, he said, addi-
tional ships should be obtained and the
allied armies in Europe should force
open the door to Russian wheat.

FAvORS REDUCING TOTAL
OF HOUSE REVENUE BILL
Senate Finance Committee Discusses
Placing Amount at y, ssoyooo,ooo
and Issuing Short-Term Bonds.

Sentiment among members Of the SEN
ate finance committee considering the war
revenue bill was said today to be strong
ly in favor OF reducing the total amount
carried in the bill as passed by the House
from $1.800. 000, 900 to about 81 ESQ. 000, 900
and OF raising the difference by short term
bonds.
This question was up for determine
ton when the committee resumed today
its work of revising the bill. Most Of
the committeeman are understood to
favor the proposed reduction on the
ground that the House levy - too great
a burden to be borne this year by bust
ness.
The committee already has agreed
upon number Of changes in the BILL
and was expected to consider further
revisions.
draft of the bill will be ready for the
Senate's consideration within ten days.
As result Of consideration of the
House war tax bill. extending through
out yesterday. Chairman Simmons OF
the Senate finance committee an
nounced last night that the committee
will reduce the amount OF revenue to
be raised by the bill by about one-third
of the amount recommended by the
House. or to 81; ESQ. ooo. 900. and viii also
revenues submitted by Secretary Nc
Adoo, which totaled about $445, 00o, 0o0
The Senate committee has decided
upon the following changes in the
House bill:
To strike. out the additional retro
active income tax on incomes earned
in 1916.
To strike out all provisions for in
creased second-class mail rates, under
the zone system, and substitute a low
direct tax. probably about 2 per cent.
on all advertising. including that in
newspapers and magazines and Of BILL
boards posters and street cars
To substitute for the House excess
profits tax on profits over per cent Of In
vested capital an excess .proit tax based
instead on average profits for a period of
years not more than I'VE.
Elimination Of the retroactive tax on
1916 incomes, Senator Simmons esti-
mated, alone would result in reduction
of the House bill's tax levy by $685.

Newspapers and magazines have Wig
orously fought the proposed zone sys-
tenn increase. declaring 1T would be
ruinous to many publications. The loss

COMMITTEE GIVES OUT
Mr.. HO0vER's FOOD PLANS
Federal Power to Control Supplies,
With Price Fixing AZ Last Re-
sort, Proposed.

Statements made recently regarding
the food situation, as 1t affects this
country. the allies and Germany. by
Herbert c. Hoover. chosen to be food
committee were made public today by
the committee.
Federal power to control food sup
plies during the war was strongly
urged by Mr.. Hoover. Maximum and
minimum price fixing authority was
which It may not be necessary to use.
That 1t Will be q physical impossi-
bility to prevent some privation"
among the allied countries was stated
by Mr.. Hoover. citing the shortage Of
I'VE will have a shortage Of from
one-flfth to one-Quarter of what they
need to maintain the present ration.
and that is q pretty drastic ration" Mr..
About half billion bushels Of wheat
and 250.0oo.ooo to aso.ooo.ooo bushels
of other cereals will be needed by the
allies, Mr.. Hoover said. from outside
sources, with Canada's possible wheat
contribution estimated at 1oo.ooo.oo0
bushels.
Maximum price fixing. according to
Mr.. Hoover. has proven q failure every
where unless the government has power
to buy foodstuhs and establish prices.
Il would not press price fixing In
any event except rs q last resort to
preserve the supply Of the country"
said Mr.. Hoover.
In Germany. according to Mr.. Hoover.
about 100000 people are bearing the
brunt Of the food shortage. producers
having plenty to eat and other civilians
being able to buy, even at high prices.
That the allies are not in as safe con-
dition as to their food supplies as Ger
| many was Mr.. Hoover's opinion.
1.-THE allies are dependent upon the
slender thread of the Atlantic lane" he
said. Such as the Germans haye got
! they have got; they are in a more safe
condition"
Belgians were deported to Germany
| according to Mr.. Hoover. to NIL the
labor shortage.
1.-The Belgians refused to be slaves "
he said. The Germans treated them
! in the most horrible manner. I could
| h1l your ears for hours with stories of
the kind I hate to repeat"
Specifically. control in South American
production fields Of the bean supply
was urged by Mr.. Hoover. declaring
beans are exorbitantly high in price.
Also he proposed to fix minimum ages
for slaughter OF live stock.
That from 100000 to $4,000. 900
bushels Of grain could be saved by cur
failing brewing OF beverages was
stated by Mr.. Hoover. ''7t

NEW YORK, May 25.-Steel common,

steels. coppers, shipping and metal
shares were the big factors In the big
market today.
A new high was made on Steel COM
mon in the initial hour, 1891, with the
chances in favor Of another new high

ators believe that the street has dis
counted much good news and that
reaction is due.
The steadily advancing trend has
ket. although not to anything like the
volume of trading that they INDUCED

The street has forgotten all about
OF the war, and Is again counting on
big profits as result of orders placed
by the United States government for
munitions. ships. plates. etc.
Traders Look for Reaction.

procession toward higher levels, ceas-
values.
New Haven, too. found a low level
yesterday. when 1t sold to 32%, and
from that point the recovery Of the
morning hours today was to Sc. with
some reaction.
Many traders look for a reaction be-
fore the close Of the market, although
there were others who continued to
predict higher prices. Conservative
commission houses were generally Of
the opinion that the rise had discounted
the good news and that 1t was time to
wait for reactions before replacing
stocks sold on the top of the wave, as
they believe this to be.
While the rails were very slow, they
were generally little firmer with the
exception Of the former old reliable,
Delaware and Hudson, which broke III
points on small sales.

Washington More Generous.

The Clearing House Association Of
New York city has recommended that
the banks Of that city make an interest
charge of 4 per cent for carrying lib
erty bonds whom purchased on the in
stallment plan.
This rate is one-half Of per cent
higher than the rate of interest which
the bonds bear. and also above the rate
of discount which the federal reserve
banks will rediscount paper secured by
government bonds or interim receipts
The association also approves of not
more than 10 per cent first payments,
which is exactly what the bankers of
Washington have agreed to do, but the
latter have also agreed to carry bonds
at 3 Il per cent on deferred payments.
The owner Of liberty bond will have
the best security to take with him to
his bank. in the event of desiring to
borrow money.
There is no chance of the bond sus-
tanning any depreciation. while there is
every chance of it's going to premium.
especially if bonds Of a higher rate are
issued later on, for the liberty bond is
convertible into the highest rate of any
bond issue during this war.
boarding should go entirely out of
fashion now. with the United States
government back of 81 per cent
bond. just as it is back of the United
States dollar.
Time money in New York is Az to Az
per cent. yet the liberty bond buyer
has 31a per cent rate available at all
banks in Washington.

BETTER FEELING SHOWN
. IN LOCAL SECURITIES
BY I. A. FLEMING.

While the response of the local stock
market to the decidedly strong tone on
Wall street has been slight, there was
noticeable q decidedly better undertone
to todays action. as evidenced by the
leosened disposition to sell securities
and the trend toward higher prices on
today's session Of the Washington
Stock Exchange.
Capital Traction shares sold at 79h.
the fraction a net gain from yesterday.
Union Trust Company shares brought
III. q point betterment over the last
previous transaction. Lanston was
STEADY at II and Mergenthaler rather
easy with one sale at 149.
American Graphophone IS showed
the best improvement In the bonds,
selling u above the bid price. or at

102M.
Quotations generally indicated little
better market. but the prices current
on local utilities and bank stocks still
offer excellent opportunities for the
bargain hunters.
