Big Incomes Are
 Fewer This Year

Washington, Oct 7.-Despite the popular belief that the number of large fortunes has increased during the last few years. income statistics made public today by the bureau of internal revenue showed consider able decrease for 1917 in those re- porting incomes in excess of $780, 900, but marked increase in those reporting net incomes of less than $150,000.

Defends Refusal To Lower Prices of Cotton Seed

Little Rock, Oct. George L. Sands, president of the State Farm ers' union, in public statement glV.. en out today defended the action or the "information committee on cot ton seed and seed products" in refus- ing to use their influence in attempt ing to bring down the price ot cot ton seed. Mir Sands also defended the producer and said he believed that the producer should have first con- sideration in the matter ot profits His statement follows:
 "As president of the State Farm. ers' union and a former member ot the information committee on cotton seed and seed products" ! feel that ] should make a public statement for the benefit of the farmers of the state and the public. I contended from the very beginning, and Jim G. Fer guson, commissioner of agriculture, agreed with me, that the committee could not and would not consent to being used to bear down the price of cotton seed.
 "I believe there is some force hold, ing down the price of cotton seed against the law of supply and de- mand. I firmly believe today the pro ducer should be getting $8O.OO per ton for his seed, and MT. Ferguson agrees with me.
 q believe it is wrong to figure from the top down and when the pro ducer is reached, leave him out of the consideration. If everything above must have big and fixed profit. l believe the producer should have first consideration and first profit. l am going to contend for this all the way through"

Will Contest Tax
 Affecting Islands

Manila, Oct. 7.-The recent admin istrative ruling of the federal inter nal revenue authorities, which makes American citizens resident in the Philippine islands, liable to taxation under the income tax act of 1918 will be contested here. Payment in every instance, on the advice of attorneys, will be made under protest, and the case carried to the supreme court of the United States.
 The tax is criticized as discrimi- natory. The Filipino, English, Span ish, or any other foreign business man is not subject to it, while the American, in competition with them must pay it, according to the feder- al ruling.

 World More Than
 Wilson, Says London

London, Oct. 6.-Concern over the illness of President Wilson IS ex- pressed by many London newspapers today. The Chronicle says:
 No sick bed of our time, or per haps any other time, has command ed such universal concern and sym pathy. Not only America, but man kind has a part in the president s welfare.
 Political and diplomatic circles are seriously pre-occupied over the presidents illness" says the Mall. Really no man in the world concerns the world more than MT. Wilson. In Great Britain we await news from him not less anxiously than do the American people themselves" {"
