act.
The repeal measure was offered BY

Chicago, March 5.-The American
Farm Bureau Federation, representing
100000 farmers in the United States.
and probably designed to be the strong
est league of agricultural interests in
the world, began a two-days' session
here. Twenty-eight states were repre-
sented by SO delegates, many of them
women, each delegate standing for 20
600 individual farmers. The delegates
sat as board of directors for the or
ganization as a whole. Several states
not yet admitted to the federation sent
representatives to ask reco ognition.
First-day developments indicated the
selection of Chicago or Indianapolis as
national headquarters. The matter
was referred to the executive commit
tee, with Chicago apparently in the
lead because of it's accessibility.
Resolutions introduced disclosed in
measure the activities to be fol-
lowed. They included:
National legislation that will pre-
vent strikes and unnecessary suffer
ing.
An income tax based on cash re-
ceipts and disbursements.
A demand for an international con-
ference of farmers to meet in America
with representatives from France,
England, Ireland, Canada, Germany
land other countries.
Investigation of the tariff in rela.
ton to farm products.
Repeal of the reciprocity act with

ASKS BILLION TAX CUT
w. G. McAdoo Says U. S. Busi-
mess is Fettered.
Declares Heavy Tax is Contributing
Factor of Large Proportions In
High Cost of Living.

Washington, March 6.-An immedi-
ate billion-dollar reduction in federal
taxes was urged In a statement issued
here by William G.. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury. The pres
ent tax burden is too great, he said,
and is Having an injurious effec. on
business
McAdoo proposed that collection of
tax to establish sinking fund for
retirement of the war debt, recon-
mended by former Secretary Glass to
begin with the fiscal year, 1920, be
postponed for two years, and that the
deferred payments of European inter
est be funded until Europe is in posi-
ton to pay Its interest charges.
''The financial policies of the nation
as embodied in future congressional
legislation Mr.. McAdoo said, should
realize the utmost economy in expen-
diture and might well fund in long
term bonds 81 100000 per annum
for two years Of the amount now rails
ed by taxation.
I "Under the laws q tax to establish
1
bonds now outstanding is to be col
lected beginning with the fiscal year
1920. This might well be postponed
for at least two years and thus reduce
the tax burden by $250,0OOO00 annual
ly. There, too, is the debt which Eu-
rope owes us and which now amounts
to about $4,000, ,OoO, 900. If the eco
| ~ - hod
ceeded far enough so that Europe
could now pay interest on this debt
| Gas she will be able to within few
years. we should have an income OF
$5O0,000,000 from this source. But
that is not now available. Why not
fund that amount against the day
when it will come back to us7 By
postponing for two years the estab-
lishment of sinking fund and fund
ing the deferred payments of Euro
pean interest, we could cover $780,.
100000 of the billion dollars by which
our taxation might be reduced.
"By disseminating purchase Of Lib
erty bonds for retirement under pro
visions of existing law the treasury
would be relieved of large burden.
It would seem that reduction Of our
tax bill for the next two years in this
manner could be accomplished and
that 1t would involve the issuance OF
additional bonds to the extent Of prob.
ably not more than one and hall
billion dollars.
1.-THE Immediate burden of taxation
is too great. It is having an injurious
effect on business. 1t is contribIt
ing factor of large proportions in the
high cost Of living"

COAL SHORTAGE
AGAIN SERIOUS
Results in Complete Re-Estab-
Iishment of Preferential
Lists by Hines.
RAILROADS GIVEN PREFERENCE
Director General Recalls Old Lists
Used for Division of Coal During
War by the United States
Fuel Administration.

Washington, March S.-A coal short
age estimated in the neighborhood Of
50,000O00 tons resulted in the COM
plete re-establishment of preferential
lists by Director General of Railways
Walker D. Hines. Acting under the
powers conferred upon him by the
president under executive orders is
sued February % and March 5 Direc-
tor Hines ordered that all producers
and shippers give preference in the
shipment of bituminous coal as fol-
lows:
/. Railroads.
2. Army and navy; together with
other departments of the federal gov
ernment.
3. State and county departments
and institutions.
4. Public utilities.
5. Retail dealers.
After this preferential list, manufac-
turers engaged in turning out neces-
saries are to be allowed COAL
Because of the severe weather con.
ditions diversion of coal to New Eng
land by water will be continued, it be-
ing found impossible to transport suf-
ficient amounts to that section by rail.
The preferential lists recalled into
being by Director Hines order are the
old lists used for diversion of coal
during the war by the United States
fuel administration.
Director Hines also appointed COM
mittees, designated with powers Of his
personal representatives to place the
diversion of coal according to the pref
erential lists Immediately into effect.
The directors Of these committees will
| be:
G. N. Snyder, chairman eastern re-
gtonal coal committee, with headquar-
ters at New York.
w. T. LaMoure, chairman, and
James T. Storrow, vice chairman, New
England committee; II. A. Worcester
chairman, Ohio and Indiana commit
tee; P. G. Findley, chairman, Detroit
ccrmittee; e. R. Bissell, chairman
Cleveland committee; Samuel Porcher
chairman Allegheny coal committee
with headquarters at Philadelphia 3
f. Spengler, chairman, Pocahontas
coal committee, with headquarters al
Roanoke, Va.
The sweeping action Of the director
general was necessitated, it was ex
planned, by a number of urgent rep
reservations received from public utili
ties, schools. industries and domesti,
consumers that they are unable to pur
chase coal to meet immediate ans
pressing needs and that they will hav,
to cease operations unless they can Sc
cure adequate supplies promptly.
So alarming has the situation be
come that Director Hines was com
PEELED to call upon President Wilson
for additional powers In dealing wit
the serious shortage. These power
were promptly granted by the pres
dent in an executive order amplifyin
his order Of February %, which cor
tinued with Director Hines the power
of coal distribution, even after the raj
roads had passed from governmen
