HOOVER TAKES OVER
WHEAT...FL0UR DROPS
GOVERNMENT ASSUMES CHARGE
OF CHICAGO MARKET-WARE-
HOUSES LICENSED.

The government wheat corporation
this week assumed full charge of
wheat coming into the Chicago mar
ket.
Millers were permitted last week
to buy in the open market at the
prices fixed by the government, but
henceforth they must deal with
agents of the food administration.
With the food administration thus
getting into it's stride, predictions
were made that as the licensing of
grain elevators was instituted, -four
prices will soon tumble. Beginning
this week all elevators can operate
only under license issued by the
food administration. The terms of
these licenses are:
Such forms of reports as the food
administration may require.
That trade practices be fair and
reasonable.
That facilities for storage be not
granted to others than the food ad-
ministration or its agents for a period
of longer than 80 days in respect to
wheat and rye.
BY virtue of these regulations it
was predicted at the offices of the
food administration that the price Of
-four will drop SO a barrel by Octo-
Der /. Inasmuch as 100000 bar
rels of -four are consumed a month
this is predicted saving of 100000
900 month for consumers.
Flour mills will be put under a
licensing system within q few days.
They will be restricted to a maximum
profit of % cents a barrel on -four
and cannot make future sales more
than 80 days in advance. The mills
also will be required to hold their
grain accumulations to a 80 days
supply.
With the price of wheat stabilized
and scale. of profits adoped by -four
manufacturers, the food administra-
ton turned its attention to plans for
reducing the cost of bread. Food
Administrator Hoover believes bread
prices can be brought down fully 20
per cent when the new wheat crop
begins to move freely.

GLASS JARS ARE PLENTEOUs.


Reports received by the. United
States department of agriculture in
dictate that there will be enough glass
jars, new and old together, during
the entire canning season to take
care of the bulks Of the perishable
fruits and vegetables.
Manufacturers state that Of one
type OF jar alone 100000 gross have
been distributed during the present
season. The manufacturing capacity
for this type Of jar is approximately
5000 gross per day, or IS, 100000
jars during the next hundred days,
and the Capacity can be increased II
necessary.
Manufacturers of other types Of
glass containers are prepared, 1t is
stated, to turn out many thousand
gross a day. Two weeks ago glass
companies were ready to distribute
Immediately enough containers to
hold over 100000 quarts Of fruits
and vegetables.
The new jars to be manufactured
in time for this seasons canning, it
is estimated will enable American
housewives to put up over 100000
pecks of beans, corn, peas, tomatoes,
peaches, plums, pears, and apples,
raised in home gardens or bought in
the market when the supply is plen-
tiful.
These figures do not take into ac-
count the great quantities of jars in
stores and on housewives shelves.
Any kind of bottles. old or new,
that can be properly sealed can be
used instead of cans or jars for con-
serving many perishable food prod
ucts, according to experts OF the de-
partment Of agriculture. While glass
or crockery jars provided with seal
ing devices are needed for canning
vegetables and fruits, bottles and jars
not so provided can be used for some
other products. Preserves, marina
ladies', jellies, and other fruit prepa-
rations in which thick syrup is used,
can be put up in large-necked bottles
and jars and sealed with paraffin.
and fruit juices can be placed even
in small-necked bottles.

WAR PROFIT TAX
KILLED BY FRIENDS
LA FOLLETTE'S LEADING HEAVY
HANDICAP-OLD LEADERS
ORGANIZE.

Lack of generalishp and too
much La Toilette" brought about the
defeat Of amendments to the war tax
bill, which sought to impose tax of
from so to 80 per cent on war profits,
says the national capital correspond
ent of the Portland Oregonian.
Continuing his review of the de-
bates which the country has watched
closely, he says that at one time such
an amendment probably could have
been adopted, had its advocates ex-
ercised the good judgment to rush
| their amendment to vote, but at
the psychological moment those who
were striving for heavy tax on war
profits in order ito lessen the taxes
on consumption could not muster up
courage to force vote. Some of
them would not consent to a vote
until there had been more talk; very
much more talk.
Possible Three Weeks Ago.
Three weeks ago the senate unex-
pectedly adopted the Lenroot income
tax amendment, materially increas-
ing the tax on large incomes. Even
the proponents of this tax did not
believe they had enough votes to
force its adoption, but when the test
came the amendment was voted into
the bill.
Senators who favored the Lenroot
amendment also favored heavy tax
on war profits, and there is no ques-
ton but what tax of probably IS or
70 per cent on war profits could have
been put through the senate had 1t
ben voted upon Immediately after the
income tax amendment had been
agreed to
But senators in charge of the war
profits tax amendment feared to take
a vote. They argued they could
strengthen their position by delay
and by conducting a campaign of ed
ucation through the newspapers.
They figured that further discus
sion of their proposal would meet
with a hearty response throughout
the country and that If their amend
ment could be debated for week
or two sentiment in it's favor would
become so strong that the conserva-
tive element in the senate would be
unable to withstand the pressure
from the public.
A big factor in the war profits tax
fight was Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin who insisted on taking the
lead Notwithstanding his unpopular
ity and in face of the fact that any
amendment championed by him is
handicapped from the start. La Fol-
lette started to talk and he talked
almost daily. Every time he talked
he lost votes and when the test came,
instead OF having certain go and
probably more senators in favor OF
big war profits tax, La Toilette
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-09-14

counted only l.. He had talked the
others into the opposition camp.
The fact that La Toilette became
the self-appointed leader OF the advo-
Gates of high tax on war profits was
one of the heaviest handicaps the
radicals had to carry, but had he and
others in sympathy with his views
been willing to forego weeks of talk
and had the nerve TO rush the issue
when the time was ripe. a different
sort of tax bill would have been sent
back to the house for acceptance.
Old-Time Leaders Busy.
The defeat of the high war profits
tax is due to the laundering of its
friends and supporters. For while
they stalled and talked. the old-time
leaders. Penrose on the Republican
and Simmons on the Democratic side,
got busy as soon as they saw the high
takers were going to delay.
They telegraphed for absent sena-
tors on whose support they could
count; they began a careful and per-
sonal canvass of doubtful senators,
and they did effective work among
the less positive of those who origi-
nally favored heavy tax on war
profits.
All they needed to defeat the La
Follette-Johnson-Hollis amendments
was time, and the laundering of the
radicals gave them that.

MOSS IN CANALS SUBJECT Of
DEBATE BY PROJECT EXPERTS

The moss and silt problems in cam
ais was the subject of informal dis
cussion at the opening session of the
representatives of the maintenance
and operation departments of the
southwestern L. 5. II. 5. projects at
the Water Users Building yesterday
afternoon. About a score Of represent
tatives of the chief projects OF New
Mexico, Texas and Arizona, headed by
Supervisor of Irrigation |. ID. O'Don-
nell, member of the reclamation COM
mission, are in attendance at this
three day meeting.
Discing, narrowing, spraying with
sodium arsenate and other methods OF
stopping the growth OF moss in canals,
were explained at the short session.
One of the members brought up the
possibility of sitting in messy canals
with soils nimical to the plant, but
| this method was cried down by an
other, who told of canal dug through
examples of practically all known soils,
where moss flourished as we'll one
place as another. The experience OF
! al i; rjgation manager who tried crude
oiling the banks while the canal was
\ dry, and who found this merely con-
tributed to the general good health and
! prosperity of the moss, created cOnsid-
cradle merriment.
A list of topics has been given out as
the basis of discussion during The
session, but il was announced later
/ that the discussion would follow lines
developed by the members as the
meeting progresses. 1t Is thought ina
at least one day will be devoted eX-
clusively to inspection of the Salt Riv'
er project, which many of the repre-
sentatiVes have never seen.
There are some interesting reclama

Another odd thing is the new stunt
