Washington. March Am I'M
mediate Sl,000,000,000 reduction in
federal taxes was suggested in a
statement issued here today by Will

Of the treasury The present tax
burden is too great, he said, and is
having an injurious effect on busi-
ness"
Mr. McAdoo proposed that col
lection OF tax 10 establish a sink
ing fund for retirement OF the war
debt, which was recommended by
-lormcr Secretary Glass to begin
with the fiscal year of 1920, be post
poned for two years and that the
deferred payments of European in

position to pay its interest charges

Under the laws a tax to establish
az ! per cent sinking fund to retire

leeted beginning with the fiscal year
1920, This might we'll be postponed
ior at least two years and thus re-
duee the tax burden by S2500O0,

debt which Europe owes us and
which now amounts to about Sl0,-
n00, 600 900.
III the economic restoration OF
Europe had proceeded far enough
so that Europe could now pay in
tcrcst on tlNs debt (as she will be
able to within a few years) we
should have an income of $500, O,0O0,-
900 from this source.
But that is not not now available.
Why not fund that amount against
the day when it will come back to
us? By postponing for two years
the establishment OF sinking fund
and funding the deferred payments
OF European interest, we, should
cover S750,000,000 which our taxa

CAR SHORTAGE NO
LONGER IN EFFECT

The point was reached here last
week when more cars we're available
than were being loaded by apple ship
pers. The Mount Hood railroad has
secured an engine from the federal
railway administration and is now pre-.
pared to handle maximum of 80 cars
per day in getting the heavy tonnage
from its line to main line points. An
average of about IL cars daily, how
ever. is being moved from the valley
line.
Shippers are being urged to hasten
loading of fruit from valley stations,
as the extra locomotive now used in
the short line service is an emergency
engine and may be called back at any
time

DAVIDSON TELLS OF
APPLE MARKETS

The October and November car
shortage, according to H. F. Davidson.
has resulted in a loss to growers and
shippers that will run into immense
sums. In fact, Mr.. Davidson declares
that If the loss could be computed It
would be sufficient TO construct great
many refrigerator ears. Mr.. Davidson
writes:
Lots of the recent arrivals Of ap-
Piles from the Northwest have showed
heavy frost damage. Immense Qanti-
ties of apples have been selling at suc-
tlon at prices ranging from 75 cents 10
S2. 90 per box, not many above 81. At
private sales they have been bringing
up TO So. 30, and there is demand now
for apples absolutely free from frost
damage and in good sound condition
at s3 and S. so per box. The bulk Of
the trade Is being supplied with cheap
apples" "
Usually only part of a car is affect
ed ty frost, but the whole goes at one
price, and in this way the buyers get
large quantities of absolutely good
fruit. They sort them over. selling
the frozen part at cost or little profit.
and then make good strong profit on
the good apples. This limits the de-
mand for good fruit at fair prices. The
principal handicap on the export situa-
tlon IS the low rate of exchange We
have been doing little exporting with
fair results, but conditions are not
as good as last year. Steamship space
Is easy to get. and steamship lines
have been reducing their rates from
time to time but not enough to go very
far toward overcoming the loss on the
low rates of exchange.
AT this end we are much confused
as to the amount Of actual damage
done by the recent freeze. IL the cold
weather actually froze any consider
able quantity Of apples, so that they
cannot be shipped. it would have a
stimulating effect on the market. On
the other hand, if great many apples
are slightly frozen and are shipped
after being thawed out, they are al
most certain to arrive in damaged con.
dit ion and will have the effect of keep.
ing the market low for some time.
"One of the most serious things the
Northwestern growers have to contend
with. and the results will be far reach
ing in my opinion, is that the cars
coming under heater service are pro.
tected by heaters which generate
gas in the cars which gives the apples
very unpleas ant. flavor and it is very
common to hear people say that the
flavor of the western apples is not
nearly as good as the eastern apples
The character of the'heater service is
largely responsible for this, and the
results are gong to continue to be
serious for many years to come, be-
cause people who try to eat apples
favored with coal oil smoke or coke
are not very enthusiastic for sometime
afterwards about eating Northwestern
apples. 1t is very important that some
plan be provided for transporting
Northwestern apples so they reach
their destination in good condition both
as to keeping quality and favor

Automobiles Repaired, Horses Shod

Another horseshoeing and blacksmith
shop has felt the call of the automobile
age, and W. l.. Slutz and George
Cooper, who operate shop at Park
dale, have announced a garage annex.
The men will have versatile workmen,
who will be able to shoe a patron s
horse or repair the electrical apparatus
of his motor car. The Upper Valley

agency soon.
Within a short radius of Parkdale
over 100 automobiles are owned, and
