CompIlcated Fertilizer Situation,

An important conference on the mat
ter of fertilizers was held at the state
house at Augusta Tuesday before the
governor and council. 1t was called at
the instance of some of the fertilizer
manufacturers, who desired that the
governor call q special session of the
legislature to amend the law regulating
the sale OF fertilizer. Farmers and repre-
sentstives of farmers organizations were
notified, and were present at the hear
ing in numbers, especially from ARGOS
took County, where the fertilizer ques-
ton means much. Briefly stated, the
situation is this:
Under the Maine law, fertilizer may
not be sold which contains any substance
harmful 10 growing crops. During the
past season considerable damage was
done to the potato crop, and investigs-
ton indicated that Ii was due to the
presence of boron in the fertilizer. The
state agricultural department then ruled
that fertilizer containing any amount Of
boron can not be sold in the state under
the law.
Now the manufacturers say that 1t Is
impossible to manufacture fertilizer
without some trace of boron. The regu-
lstion of the federal government is that
fertilizer containing not more than one
tenth OF one per cent Of boron may be
sold without labelling, but If the amount
OF boron Is in excess of that il must be
stated on the package.
The manufacturers, with the regula-
ton promulgated by the state depart
meDt, refuse to ship fertilizer into the
state, and IL is now getting so far along
In the season that it is going to be diff
cult to bring into the state and distribute
the necessary amount OF fertilizer, espe-
cislly for Aroostook, before 1t will be
needed.
At the conference Tuesday the matter
was fully discussed from numerous an
giles, and 1t was decided as the sense Of
the conference that the state department
should rescind it's ruling and permit the
fertilizer 10 come under the United
States regulation rs to the content Of
boron. This has been done.

the demand and the mines are to shut
down. II this rather surprising piece of

Two new viewpoints on national pro-
hibition have already appeared in Maine
since the amendment came into effect.
Judge Curran of the Lewiston Municipal
Court says that in his opinion the federal
prohibition act utilities all state pro-
hibitory law-which somehow doesn't
appeal very strongly to the average lay
mans common sense. Then Sheriff
Graham of Cumberland wants an opinion
from the attorney general as to whether
druggists may be allowed to dispense
liquors under the federal act, as they
can not under the state laws. This sug-
gestion doesn't seem quite so fsr.fetched
as the other.

HOUSE, ''OK.'S'
LINCOLN DAY.
Bill to Make Birthday Holi-
day Here Approved by
1877 to lis.

The Siegel bill.- ito make Lincoln's
Birthday. February IL. a legal holi-
day in the District of Columbia. was
passed by the House yesterday by
avote OF 1877 to 115.
Principal opposition came from
those who contsnded that 1t would
give government clerks in Washing
ton an extra holiday. Bland, of In
diana, declared his affirmative vote
was in honor Of Lincoln; that while
government clerks are underpaid
they are not overworked.
Zihlman. of Maryland, member of
the District Of Columbia Committee,
declared the present controversy
over the peace treaty proves Lin
coin one Of the greatest Americans
of all time
Thirty days after Lincoln's fnau-
guration," said Zihlman, "the gov
ernor, of my State. Maryland. wrote
him protesting against the presence
of Federal troops on Maryland sofl
and against their march through the
streets Of Baltimore. He suggested
that the differences between the
North and the South be submitted
to arbitration by a certain cele-
brated British statesman of his day.
N'Lincoln wrote back that he hoped
the day would never come in Amer
lea when they shall allow a foreign
power to arbitrate or dictate to the
Stars and Stripes, and particularly
one which is ruled over by a mon
arch"

COP CALLED

Newkirk Detailed to Union
Station to Arrest Public
Hackers, Is Charge.

Charges that Policeman Newkirk
has been detailed In the vicinity
Of Union Station for the purpose
Of arresting independent public
hackers at every opportunity were
made yesterday, by John M. Ham
merly. a public chauffeur. and Fred
A. Maltby, owner of a hacking busi-
ness, at a hearing on the Zihlman
bill to amend the traftic laws of
the District before the Zihlman sub
committee.
Both condemned the way in which
they declare Newkirk treats the in
dependent hacker and co-operates
with the Washington Terminal Com
pany and the Terminal Taxicab
Company and cited specific in
stances. Both strongly urged the
establishment Of a separate traffic
court.
Hammerly said the taxi company
has a distinct advantage. as their
cars are parked at the curb where
travellers emerge from Union Sta
ton. while independent hackers are
parked a block away.
Maltby said the company taxicabs
get as much as IS cents a mile,
while the public hackers run their
cars for 10 and Is cents a mile. He
argued for open competition so the
public can get the cheapest service.

ton said. Unless the necessary
amendments be passed now. they
win be delayed In all probability

year 1921"
Moderate Reduction IN 1ez2.
Secretary Houston. prefaced his
recommendation by stating that he
could see nothing In "the financial
prospects for the calendar year 1922
and thereafter which would make
impossible or unwise the very mod
est reduction involved in the plan
of simplification." The scofhplexity
in the tax law, he said. not only was
merely "a source of irritation, but
a major menace threatening enter
prise with heavy but indefiniable fu-
ture obligations" It clogged the
administrative machinery. he said.
and threatened a possible break
down.
The stock dividend decision. the
Secretary said, practically excepts
from ali income and profits taxation
q group OF approximately $500 corr
porations and their stockholders
who would pay under existing law
from five to six million dollars. He
recommends that the tax on undis-
tributed profits be applied to those
corporations. !
To the end Of effecting what he
said Is a much simplihcation
of revenue law. the Secretary makes
eight recommendations involving q
general reform of the administra-
tion. Of those laws. q

TETRAZZINI SCORES
TRIUMPH IN RECITAL

Nine. Louisa Tetrazzini. the IA
nous coloratura soprano. assisted
by Mayo Wadler, violinist, and
Pietro Cfmara. pianist. was present
ed by Mrs. Wilson's Greene yesterday
afternoon at Polls Theater, as the
fourth attraction of her Second Sc
ries Philharmonic Course.
The great diva was greeted by an
audience that packed the theater to
the limit. Her marvellous person
atty carried all with her, and al
though her voice has lost much. she
sings with much more sense OF pitch
and color than Is usual with colora7
turas and her feats of bravura are
as astonishing as of old. With the
exception of the mad scene from
Thomas Hamlet" and the 'Varia-
-tions on the Carnival of Venice"
Mime. Tetrazzini read her songs, in
cludiEg encores, from the scores.
This acknowledgment of lack of
close acquaintance with the songs
has been shown by number of the
artists this season and is to be de-
plored.
Mayo wadler charmed the audi
ence with his technique, tone and
interpretations, and Pietro Cimara
proved a supporting artist of un-
usual ability in his accomplishments,
as well as the suite of compositions
by Sgamati, with which he opened

Representative Joseph w. Fordney,
chairman of the House Ways and

In response, Mr.. Fordney an
nounced yesterday afternoon that
officials Of the Treasury Department
would be called upon to appear be-
fore the House Ways and Means
Committee today. II the question
of the simplification OF the revenue
laws is to be taken up, he said, the
excess profits tax could be repealed
and a direct and nat tax imposed
upon the profits of corporations
could be submitted without loss OF
revenue to the government.
BASED ON War Experience.
The recommendation of the Sec
retary of the Treasury are largely
the outcome of experience in taxa
tion during the war, and the i'm
mediate consequence of the decision
of the Supreme Court exempting
stock dividends from taxation. The
entire l6ss to the government re-
sulting from this decision will
amount to less than s25,000.o00, ac-
