Half Billion Dollars Expected To Be Raised By Govern ment Of Whiskey and Beer By Taxes This Year.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 24.-In laying their plans for raising nearly $2.OO0.- 000.000 for war expenditures from taxation, house leaders are confid- ent there will be no nation wide pro- hibition legislation at this session of congress. Optimistic prohibition champions now are hoping for no more than a law forbidding the sale of liquor to soldiers or sailors.
 The case against any attempt at general prohibition legislation has been based upon the arguments that a constitutional amendment could not be adopted and put into effect in less than a year, and that the government needs the revenue from liquor taxes for the war chest.

THE IaO5EW
Letter rom Gov. Crough i'll Regard to
 >IHSpeBding Law.

The following letter from Governor Brough to Judge Steel relative to de- laying enforcement of hog law is self explanatory:
 Little. Rock April 13. 1917. Hon. J. s. Steel, AshdoWn, Ark. Dear Mr. Steel
 am in receipt of your letter of the 11th instant, relative to my issuing a proclamation. calculated to delay the effect of the Four Wire Fence Law, in that county. I have no disposition whatever, to work any hardship upon any community but it seems to me bad precedent, to issue proclamation to the officers of any county, asking them to fail to enforce any law.
 In view of the existing conditions, as you describe them, should think that the sheriff and prosecuting attorney would gladly assist you good people in getting around this law some way, so as to preclude the necessity of your people shipping their hogs to Northern markets, at this time.
 l realize that the situation there is very critical one, in view of the pres ent national crisis now confronting us as,d too, in view of the necessity for our farmers to live at home. At the present. however, had rather not is sue the proclamation, about which you write.
 With kindest personal regards, I am,,
 c. H. BROUGH, Governor.

REPORTS CAUSE FURTHER ALARM
Farmer, Are Flowing Up Wheat Lands
 And Sowing to Other Crops.

Washington, April 1S.-Speeial crop reports, gathered by the presidents of the twelve federal land banks of the new rural credits system and an- nounced by the federal farm loan board here today, caused further alarm regarding the wheat crops.
 The wheat crop is such complete failure in the normally big wheat pro ducing region tributary to the Omaha land bank that farmers are blowing up the planted wheat fields and sowing them to other food crops, it was an nounced. The same is true of the Louisville and New Orleans districts, the reports show.
 The efforts of the farmers for in creased production may save the sit- uation, it was stated. 4 |

ASK POWER (lF
 FOOD CONTROL
Will Seek Unprecedented Authority in Present Crisis-Near < Dicta- torship-To Deal With Pro-
 ductiOn and Distribution.

Washington, April 19.-Legislation to give the government a firm grasp on food control vii be introduced in Congress tomorrow Power will be asked to supervise production and to deal with distribution to insure a fair supply at reasonable prices. It is be- lieyed actual price fixing may be asked and that authority will be requested to establish virtual food dictatorship if that becomes necessary.
 The food situation, officials realize, presents one of the most serious prob during the war. The United States faces feeding not only it's own popula- ton on a small food reserve and poor crop prospects, but supplying as far as possible the allies.
 Administration heads are bending every effort toward convincing the country of the need for greater pro- duction and for rigid food economics.
 The Department of Agriculture is building up an organization of state and county boards, through which to reach both producer and consumer in every corner of the country. In this work it is calling on experts for ad- vice and help, and is reaching out through state agriculture departments and agricultural colleges to set it's pur> pose before the people.

the proposed transfer to your atten-
ton at an earlier date.
Without having any knowledge OF
the intentions of the department rela-
tive to these troops later in the year,
we are not, of course, IN position to
advise definitely; but We believe that
it will be for the best interests CT the
service if this division, when mobil'
lied, is sent to camp or camps IN
the New England states, for these
reasons:
Il. The climate in New England is
more nearly like the climate OF north
ern France than is that of any section
OF the South.
2. t will lessen the cost to the
government of getting these troops to
the front; that is, it viii save at least
the cost of transportation to the
southern cantonment.
3. We believe that when the citi-
zens of New England become aware
of the proposed action to send these
troops South during the summer
months there will be and should be
vigorous protest against such action.
We believe that public sentiment in a
matter CT that kind should be given
serious consideration.
a. Whatever may be the condi-
tons surrounding the place where
these troops will be located in the
South, we submit that for the sum
mer and fall months being acclimated
to the New England climate, the
health of the organization viii UNI
doubleday be better il these troops are
not transferred to a new section and
different climate.
%. This statement is very largely
based on the suppositon that the ma
tional guard is to be sent to the front
within reasonable time but, If it is
the purpose of the department to take
such action later in the year or early
next year, and for that reason 1t is
considered desirable that these troops
be transported to warmer climate
previous to their transferred to the
western frtnt we contend that this
action cen be taken as we'll or better
later in the fan than at this time,
we do not intend by this letter to
attempt to in any way interefer with
any military action which VIII further

live that the considerations submit
ted are of sufficient Importance to
justify the careful attention OF the
