The Wheat Price.

President Wilson's veto of the agri-
cultural bill on the score of the fixing
of minimum price Of $40 for wheat
will be very generally approved, save
perhaps by a section of the farming in
terests. The price has been the subject
of long controversy between the House
and Senate, the former fixing the price
at $22O, which was worked out by the
food administration as a suitable rate,
assuring profit for the wheat grower
and preventing needless increase in the
price Of -four. The Senate stood for
$3.50 per bushel, and after a pro-
tracted struggle in conference COM
promise Of $40 was reached. The
President shows in his veto message
that the proposed increase of 90 cents
& bushel would add 50 to the cost of
a barrel of flour and would be equiva-
lent to an advance in the wheat cost
to the consumer of $387,O00,00O. 1t
would necessarily cause correspond
ing advance in the price of Canadian
wheat.
With the cost of living already high
the sole consideration at this time
should be whether it is possible to
insure a maximum wheat production
in this country at a price which will
give the people breadstuff at the low
est possible rate. The President be-
Ieves that the $40 rate is not neces-
sary to encourage the farmers to plant
the largest possible acreage in wheat.
He holds that they will do their ut
most to serve the nation and the world
in this crisis without the stimulation
of this high price. His belief in this
respect is doubtless justified.
There is no more loyal, no more
patriotic class of people in this coun-
try than the farmers. They are not
only willing but eager to do their part
toward winning the war. They are
handicapped by shortage of labor and
the high price of seed and farm ma
terial. But statistics are at hand to
show that they can plant and harvest
wheat at a profit at 1920 a bushel,
and the addition of 20 cents to the
price, or over 9 per cent beyond that
rate, is certain to cause distress and
add heavily to the war burden upon
the people, not only of this country,
but Of others that are supplied from
the American wheat fields.

Now for the Bill.

The hearings are closed. Monday
the House ways and means committee
will begin the drafting Of the new
revenue measure. On the eve Of the
task Chairman Kitchin says this:
"What we are after is to raise
$8,000,000, 900; we have to put tax on
everything that can stand it. At the
same time we realize that the taxes
must be adjusted so as to produce the
greatest amount of revenue; If too
high, we will not get the revenue; if
too low, revenue which we should get
would escape"
The sum is very large, and there are
good many things that can stand q
tax. The Treasury Department has
suggested number, and suggestions
from unofficial quarters have been nu-
merous. And then the members Of the
committee have, Of course, views Of
their own as to sources Of supply.
This may be described as an en-
barrassment Of riches. To make Sc
lections for assessments from such Q
profusion will be very difficult.
But the difficulty will not end there.
After selecting the things to be as
sessed, the amounts must be fixed. As
Mr.. Kitchin points out, they should be
neither too high nor too low. If too
high-oppressiye to the point Of in

frank statement regarding Germany's

"The present possession of Belgium

This is characteristic bit of Teu-

juring the thing assessed-the govern
ment will get no revenue. II too low,
the government will be skimped.
There is some criticism Of the
phrase, Business a. usual" Those
who offer 1t declare that the war is
now the only business, and that every-
thing must be bent or changed for the
winning Of the war.
It is not to be forgotten, however
in fact, it is most essential to remem-
ber-that unless business, great va
riety Of business, fourishes. the war
cannot be supported. Work behind
the firing lines-in the mines, and fac
tories, and fields, and stores, and
counting rooms-is just as important
as work on the firing lines. Produc-
tions and consumptions must continue
undiminished, or the government will
suffer, and, through the government,
the soldiers.
Business-in increased volume, even
should be encouraged. To tax any
legitimate business to death-and that
can be done, for taxation can be made
frightfuly cruel-would be mistake
from every standpoint. Prosperity in
business circles means revenue for the
government, support for the soldiers,
and comfort for civilians. Moreover,
the encouragement Of business now
will show when the war ends; and at
that time we shall need in their best
possible form and in operation the
many industries that have made the
country powerful.

Greatest Output Is in Store
For Nation, Schwab
Asserts

Philadelphia, Aug, s. American
ship construction has now reached
a point where II can offset German
ship destruction, declared Charles
NJ. Schwab, director general OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, at the
Traymore Hotel, Atlantic City, last
night. From now on, he declared,
anything the German U-boat might
do would be negligible.
With the launching. of the Quist-
conck, to-day, the first ship to leave
the ways at Hog Island, he asserted.
tho first great step toward ultimate
victory would be taken. Mr.. Schwab
will welcome President and Mrs.
Wilson as the sponsors of the first
product OF the great shipbuilding
plant.
I'VE have taken a most definite
step forward in the building Of
ships" he continued. IT can as
sure the American people they may
have full confidence the ships we
need will soon come from the Nari-
Gus yards in ample numbers.
From now on we will be able to
obtain $4,000 tons of plate a week.
OF course, this will be increased right
along. Great as our present output
is we have only just started. In a
few months we will be turning out
a greater tonnage than ever the most
sanguine has ever thought possible.
Our building of ships has only be-
gun-is in its infancy in fact. The
greatest output is in store for the
United States.
This $4,000 tons of plate a week
is all due to the magnificent work of
Mr.. Baruch and Mr.. Replogle of the
war industries board. They have
cc-operated with us splendidly. At
first there was a shortage of plate at
some yards, but all that happily has
been worked out.
"As 20 Hun propaganda, I think
the less said of that the better, and
/ think we should also not discuss
the work of the I. w. W.
Things are going splendidly at
the moment. This $4,000 tons OF
plate week will give us what cal

Replogle thing the terms is too soft,
but in the absence of another de-
scription I call it cushion
President and Mrs. Wilson will
attend the christening at Hog Island
tomorrow. Mrs. Wilson will have
the honor OF christening the Quist-
Conck."

Keystone Division Walks
Over Dead Bodies of
Foe in Their Advance

Washington, Aug. 5.-Following his
statement Saturday to newspaper
men in which he told of the enormous
losses suffered by the retreating Ger
man army the chief of staff declared
that it was the keystone division,
Pennsylvania troops. who were forced
to walk over the dead bodies of the
foe because of the number. General
March said:
In front of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard division, the 2Sth of the
combined American Army, the soldiers
could not advance without treading
on dead Germans. This is told in
General Pershing's confidential cable
gram, which General March read to
his newspaper auditors as follows:
An officer of General Muir's 2Sth
Division, Just returned from Ferer-
en-Tardenois, reports that it does not
seem possible for an army to have
gathered as many guns, as much
ammunition, as the Germans had
abandoned in their retreat, which had
been so hasty that they had not had
time to bury their dead. The ground
was so covered with corpses that 1t
was impossible to advance without
walking over them, and further, that
the advance of the 2Sth division had

fact that their position was some dis
tance from the nearest railroad"
1t is apparent from this dispatch
that the victory of the French and
Americans in the Rheims salient has
been much greater than had been i'm
dicated either in o u cial or press dis
patches from the front. The report
made by the officer of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard shows that the
German losses not only of men but of
guns and ammunition must have been
enormous. This report makes 1t plain
that the enemy was not merely de-
feated, but routed in disorder. His
flight was so precipitate thaat he did
not have an opportunity to take along
cannon and stupendous supplies of
powder and she'll. knowledge of
German carefulness in guarding war
material and vaunted German eff
cheney in such matters make the rout
all the more apparent and significant.
