WASHINGTON. May 25.-A revenue
bill, drastic in its terms, will be drawn
at this session of Congress.
Congressional leaders late to-day
gave up all hope OF avoiding 1t. The

cial session between November 10 and

they would not abide by it,
Senator Johnson said he would no.

to postponement of the bill under the
agreement desired by Simmons. When
thcy learned. however. OF the stand
OF the Western radicals, they con-
ferred again. Senator Gallinger issued
the following statement:
Republican Senators recognize that
additional revenue will be necessary
In the near future. and for that r.a
son they are prepared to consider row
cnue Legislation whenever the majority
thinks it wise to do so. and they arc

MILLS NOW MAX
ING IS PER CENT
PATENT flour
New Regulations of Government Com
pei Miller to Take Ten Pounds
Additional Out of Feed-Re-
duces Price of Flour Slightly.

M. F. Mulroy, manager of the Rus
sell Miller Milling Co. of this city,
has returned from Minneapolis where
he attended a gathering of the Rus
sell-Miller mill managers, where the
proposition of complying with the re-
cent changes of the rules and regula-
lions of the mills of the United States
was thoroly discussed.
The local Russell Miller mill has
been closed since the new ruling went
into effect on Dec. Is and the changes
to the machinery are being made so
that the mill will resume operations
sometime this week.
The Russell-Miller mills have here
tofore made such high grade flour
that in order to comply with the new
regulations, it became necessary to
alter their machinery and install ad-
ditional equipment.
According to Rule II of the new reg
ulations, no licensee engaged in the
business Of milling flour and feed
from wheat, shall after Dec. rs, 1917,
use more than 264 pounds of 50
pounds per bushel or heavier clean
wheat in making 1876 pounds of 100
per cent flour. Mills genrally have
used heretofore at least 10 pounds
more wheat for the 1876 pounds. The
extra ten pounds hereafter must be
taken out of the feed. 1t will give
IS per cent patent flour and ought to
give pretty fair satisfaction. The flour
will make a little darker bread. In
Minot, it will reduce the cost Of flour
to the merchant 81 cents barrel.
Rule 10: No licensee engaged in
the business of milling flour and feed
from wheat shall after December rs,
1917, sell mill feed at any price in ex-
cess Of the following prices:
Bran: Bulk price per ton of 1000
pounds at mill in carloads in no case
shall exceed 38 per cent of the aver
age cost to such mill of one ton Of
wheat at the mill, which cost of wheat
shall be the average cost as shown by
the previous months records of said
mill and shall include the 1 per cent
Administration Fee paid by the mill
on all wheat ground.
Differentials maximum Price,
Bulk, MilD.
Basis Bran.
Shorts or Standard Middlings: $500
per ton of 1000 lbs. over basis.
Mixed Feeds: $500 per ton of g.
600 lbs over basis.
Flour Middlings: 5000 per ton Of
1000 lbs over basis.
Red Dog: $500 per ton of 1000
lbs. over basis.
The price Of feed to the. farmer will
be little more than the SO per cent
referred to above, for the cost of the
sacks and the cost of handling must
be figured in. This will reduce the
price Of feed in Minot however about
$3.50 by the ton or in car load lots,
$3.50 per ton. Hereafter, all prices
for feed must be F. 0. B. Minot, as
the government considers that this
will make it easier to keep check on
the mills records.
