For instance, In the case Of bread
we are paying twice what they are
paying IN France now." said the SEN
ator.
This II a result Of the price, fixing
policy. A bushel Of wheat weighing
eighty pounds makes from forty to
forty-four pounds OF flour. The resi-
due of millfeeds to this quantity will
pay for the milling. In other words,
a pound OF wheat makes two-thirds
OF q pound of flour. A pound Of
wheat sells for 4 cents, so that this
quantity of flour also equals cents.
This quantity Of -four will make one
pound of bread. Therefore a pound
of bread Is worth cents.
'In France for centuries the baker
has made his profit from this In
crease in weight Of bread. a pound OF
-four equaling a pound and half
Of bread. On this basis, q loaf OF
bread should sell for cents. giving
. cents profit to the baker.
"a l2-ounce loaf Of bread sells for

pound loaf on the same basis would
bring 10 cents.

"As a matter OF fact. have been

veal the fact that our bread is sold

tricts things are so much cheaper.
Hotel Regulation.
Hotels should certainly be reg
ulated. One cannot obtain a room

should be fxed. as should the prices

tration has power to do this. but

In 1915 British spies obtained

'PAY TAX WITHOUT DELAY,
IS BUREAUS WARNING

Do not wait to pay your income tax
until you receive bill from the col
lector of internal revenue.
Income taxes are due and payable
on or before June Is. 1918. The PEN
atty for failure Is an assessment of 8
per cent Of the amount due. plus 1
per cent interest for each full month
during which it remains unpaid.
1t has come to the attention of the
bureau of internal revenue that many
persons are under the impression
that it is the desire of the bureau that
payments be deferred until bill is
received from tho collector. This is
erroneous. Thousands of persons paid
their taxes at the time OF filing their
returns. In cases where the payment
exceeded the amount of the tax re-
fund will be made upon fling a claim
with the collector. Where payment
was not sufficient the taxpayer will
be informed and notified to send the
additional amount.
Collectors Of internal revnue have
been directed to send bills to the tax
payers on or before June ]. This may
not be possible in every case. and to
delay payment until the bill is re-
ceived is apt to embarrass the tax
payer and Inconvenience the govern
ment. To be on the safe side it is
better to pay the tax without delay.
