Governor Arthur Capper, of Kansas,
in favor Of the farmers national COM
mittee on war finance. of which the
Kansas Governor is chairman. In his
letter to the Ways and Means Com.
mittee. the Pennsylvania Governor
denounces war proffteering in unmeas-
ured terms and declares for a more
equitable system of taxation. The
Capper committee has headquarters
in Washington, and is one of a num-
Der of organizations assuming to
speak for the farmers of the country.
Among other things it advocates the
Amos PinchOt idea of taking all net
/ incomes in excess of 100000. 1t is
all excess war profits, after the Eng.
lish scheme, and TO adopt the Henry
George single.taX theory, at least to

The oats furnished by the Farmers
elevator, we are informed, weighed

furnished by Jack Duggan company

on oats which they received, were
full of wild oats and other foul seeds.

should not have been delivered by

MANY automobilists and citizens gen
orally have been wondering why men,
beers OF the American Automobile asso-
citation are not entered in the races to
he given 81 the fair grounds next sat
nrday afternoon. The answer is per-
fectly clear,
The International Racing association.
under whose auspices the races are be
ing held. is an Independent association.
and members of the A. a. A. cannot
engage In contests with that assoeia-
tion, under the rules and regulat tons of
the two associations
1t Is like amateur and professional
ball players, II amateur players en-
gage in professional games they at
once lose standing in their own class.
The International is made up OF
professional men. who are paid fahu-
ious sums for risking their lives on
the speedways in making records
against former records or against time,
There are a number of drivers in
Richmond who could probably make as
good time as tho professionals, but
who cannot enter the races next Satur-
day because of the restrictions in the
rules of the American association.
