Chicago. Nov. 2S.-Markets strong

be a refutation Of Nov. 20 report, which
credits Hoover with the opinion that
the wheat crop may be Very short be-
fore the end of the crop year and the
situation might interfere with the
United states use Of pork products.
In addition there have been newspaper
reports indicating corn meal hulled
oats. rye and Barley would be used eH-
tensively as bread mixtures, the re-
ported shortage Of wheat and the big
discount for oats, provisions and corn
mas led 10 heavy purchasing. Iii add

active tax, which was contained in
the bill as 1t came over from the
House of Representatives had been
taken out of the bill. That was one
of those taxes which yielded consid-
cradle revenue, but which increased
tax payers and made them feel that
they were being unjustly treated.
Then the so-called double taxa

companies has been provided for in
a way so that these additional taxes
are not twice imposed.
The proposition to impose a fiat
taxation of 10 to Is per cent. on the

Atlantic to Pacific ocean. as striking
at the very fundamentals of sound
industrial economies, yet after pro-

The definition of capital taxes the
genius of the political economists to
the highest degree in a complicated
industrial civilization like ours. 1t Is
almost impossible to arrive at. any
equitable and solely scientific definl-

WOMEN MAY
ASPIRE TO 13O
OCCUPATIONS
Headquarters Will Be Opened
Here For Registration of
Those to Do Mems Work

The committee of council of the
National Defense League of which
Mrs. John w. Reilly is chairman, is
making preparations to register the
women of Dauphin county for war
service. A meeting of the heads of
all the women's organizations of
Harrisburg will be called within ten
days and a permanent committee to
conduct the registration will be
formed. The meeting will be held
in the headquarters of the Red Cross
and the registration office will also
be located there.
The women will be enlisted for the
purpose of filling the vacancies
caused by the enlistment and con-
scription of many thousands of men.
Mrs. j. Willis Martin, of West Phila-
delphia, is head of the movement in
the state and for some time has been
trying to locate a registration booth
in this city.
The registration will cover 1870
separate occupations to which wom-
en- may aspire. Some of the classes
of occupation are agricultural, cler-
ical, domestic, Industrial, profess
sional, public service, social service.
Red Cross and allied relief, and mis-
cellaneouS.
Already there has been several
registrations at the Walnut street
headquarters. The booth has not
been officially opened but those
women who wish may register.

Every Article Is Given

Charles Scott. manager OF the
Pennsylvania division of the Amer
lean Red Cross, In statement to-
day corrects false statements that
have been made regarding the dis
posal of the work of the women of
the society Many rumors have been
spread which cast discredit on the
society 1t has been said that in
stead of sending away the sweaters,
socks, and other articles knitted by
the women for the soldiers, they
have been sold, Mr., Scott saysi
There is being maliciously circu-
lated a report that sweaters, socks
and other articles knit by the Red
Cross are being sold, either to the
public in shops or else direct to the
soldiers. This report is, so far as /
know, absolutely untrue, There has
not been one single instance brought
to our attention of the sale of any
article, either knitted or otherwise
made by the Red Cross workers, and
turned into any Red Cross Chapter,
branch or auxiliary, or any supply
warehouse. If any wilful case of
the sort should come to our notice,
the charter of the chapter or sub
sidiary sanctioning it would be i'm
mediately withdrawn. with such
publicity as to cause very unenviable
notoriety to the offenders. If 1t
should be proved that any individual
has sold articles after they have
been turned in, immediate steps Will
be taken to prosecute the offender.
Your attention is called to the
fact that 1t is a violation of the
United States criminal law for any
one to use the name or emblem of
the Red Cross to assist In the sale
of merchandise, unless they acquire
the right prior to 1905,
While there is no way to prevent
people from making the same types
of articles as are now produced by
the Red Cross workers. and selling
them for their own advantage, yet
should they try to use the name or
emblem of the Red Cross in conneC-
ton with such sales, they will be
criminally proceeded against,
" am making this statement and
conveying this warning in order that
through you wide publicity may be
given to the Red Cross intention to
preserve in every way possible the
sacredness of the Red Cross emblem
and to prevent the public from be-
ing imposed upon by maliciously in
clined people.

duty to vote for the measure.
The munitlon tax Is obviously a
most discriminatory tax. On these
enormous war profits additional
taxes are levied and this munition
tax is still retained upon special IN
dustrial establishments; and yet
recognize the situation in the other
House, and L think the chairman of

ferees that it would be difficult, ow-

in the House as to the character OF
the tax, l most reluctantly yielded

The postal rates have been re-
ferred to by the chairman of the
finance committee, Mr.. Simmons
who has fairly expressed my own
view. All along l have thought that
this perpleXing and complicated sub
ject could not be safely gone into a
war revenue measure which had to
be passed quickly.
LAS the chairman of the commit
tee has stated, the postal rates as
embodied in this revenue bill caI
perchance be repealed or amended
next December by the committee on
postoffices and postroads of the
House of Representatives, which has
the general appropriation bill for
the Post Office Department before
it and can consider the question in a
deliberate way with a view of soiV-
ing it; and l, for one, after twenty
years experience in the agitation
hope that some way can be devised
to end the controversy for the good
of the government and for the good
of the periodical publishers and the
publishers of daily newspapers.
81 say candidly that l should have
preferred to have this part left out
of the revenue bill as the Senate
left it out, but in view of the fact
that the paragraph in reference &c
the matter does not go into effect
until July, 1918, and that Congress
which will meet in December next

point also.
