from 2 to 81 tons of cured hay per

favorable seasons, the yield has been
as high as tons of cured hay per

hay so valued by the Iowa farmers,
not only in yield but also in food value.

ADJUSTING ERRORS
FUEL ADMINISTRATION GIVES
ATTENTION TO IOWA.

After discovering that under the
new coming system recently announc-
ed for Iowa by the federal fuel admin.
istration at Washington, people in
some Iowa coal regions were shut out
of buying their own home coal, a new
re-zoning scheme is being perfected.
II will be announced soon.
Under the recent order Ottumwa,
Iowa, with productive coal field all
around it, was placed in the Iowa
territory which is to receive no Iowa
coal. This was OF course. an error
on the part of those outlining the Iowa
territory. In the new coming ar

The much talked Of plan proposed
a few weeks ago to put on a cam

coal during the summer has not yet
been worked out. Many Iowa mines
have been shut down since the warm
err weather of early March. Others
are closing down this week
Federal Administrator Webster OF
Iowa will probably renew the effort
to secure an order from Washington
requiring a cut in the price of Goa
during the summer months, This
would be an inducement to the people

ing excess profits and restricting spec
ulation, there can be no such thing as q
"profiteer" Whether the existing laws
are such laws or not is not yet deter
mined. But this question need not be
discussed, for if they fall short in any
particulars Congress can and certainly
will correct them. Admittedly the
preparation Of an altogether just and
effective excess profits tax law is not
the easiest matter in the world Such
law must be SO drawn that it will ac-
complsh two rcsults-frst, it must
prevent large profits, and, second, it
must stimulate rather than retard pro-
duction. If it is so drastic that the
manufacturer Of war necessities cannot
realize profits enough to keep up his
plant, and possibly also expand it, then
it retards production. On the other
hand, if it is so lax that capital en-
ployed in war industries can make alb
normal profits without taking commen-
suratc risks, it will be unjust and bur-
densomc to every one excepting the
owners.

War Greatly
Affects Demand

AS an abstract proposition, any ex-
cess profits tax is unscientilic. But the
fact that war almost instantaneouslv
increases the demand for certain prod
ucts immensely, and that the machinery
with which to meet this demand cannot
be called into existence instantane-
ously, but can be set in motion only
after several months, possibly year
or more, OF preparation, makes such n
law necessary as a wartime measure.
II war were permanent statc-that is.
II we were certain that we ware poine
to be at war acknowledgement a tax
would be unnecessary because in the
course of reasonably short time the
natural law Of supply and demand
would bring about such rclocations of
capital and realignments of business as
would eliminate all great INEQUALITIES
IN the matter Of profits realized from
different lines. But as war is not a
permanent state, capital is not at.
