sLACKER CHARGE ANSWERED.

In a report to the Senate committee
on agriculture Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston characterizes as unjust
the statement that officials and draft
boards desired to provide soft jobs
for slackers in his department. The
report was with regard to the amend
ment by the House to the pending
food production act for 1919, forbid
ding the payment Of salaries. under
the act, to any man who has been
placed in deferred military classifica-
ton on account of his employment
by the department. Accompanying
the report was a letter from Secre-
tary Baker showing the close re-
lationship between the War Depart
ment and the Department of Agri-
culture.
The House amendment. if allowed
to remain in the bill, Secretary Hous-
ton says, will interfere with the
prosecution of the war by curtailing
food production and live stock and
otherwise slow up the war program.
He presents facts to show that the
department has lost 6.04S regular
employees. about one-quarter Of whom
have entered military service. Only
men whose places could not be read
ily filled are maintained from the
drafted numbers. says the Secretary.

Excess Profits.

Yesterday was the biggest tax gather

from which the government raises most
Of its internal revenue, were paid to COL
lectors in the sixty-four. districts in
such numbers that it will take two
weeks to tabulate them. !
Persons who failed to pay by last
night, as required by law, will receive
this week notices of their delinquency,
with demand that they pay before June
rs in order to avoid penalties imposed
after that date. Most collectors, 1t Is
said, will waive the delinquency II
checks are received tomorrow or Tues
day.
Nearly four million separate payments
had been made up to last night, 1t
is estimated. The payments will not be
fully analyzed for a year.
Offsetting the big payments in small
degree was the payment of the second
semi annual interest allowance on. the
first liberty loan. This amounted to
about $40,0O0,000.
Reports indicated that many holders
of the first bonds failed to clip the
coupons and turn them in for payment
Thousands exchanged interest, coupons
