FARM BUREAU WILL
FIGHT TAX INCREASE
DETERMINED STAND AGAINST
7 INCREASING TAXATION ON
FARMS is TAKEN.

| Reports received here from the re-
cent Denver meeting of the executive
committee of the American Farm
Bureau Federation indicate that the
federation will try to make sure that
additional burdens are not shifted
from industrial interests to the public
by contemplated revision of national
| taxation laws. Decision was reached
also to create federation traffic de-
partment
The decision on taxation followed
review of agitation for repeal of the
excess profits tax, which takes from
corporation and other business earn
ings 40 per cent of all profit in excess
OF 70 per cent net profit on invest
ments. This tax last year raised for
the government almost two billion
dollars. Several substitutes have been
suggested.
The idea of the American Farm
Bureau Federation is that the big
tax burden of the country should be
borne largely by the interests most
able to pay and should not be paid
out of the living wage of the average
individual consumer. 1t is also con-
tended that the excess profits tax has
not "crippled" business to any dis
cernible extent and that it seems
conservative tax, when it is consider
ed that Great Britain levies a similar
tax of go per cent instead of the 40
of the United States. Prof. T. S.
Adams of Yale university, who was
chairman of the advisory board of
taxation of the United States treas
ury, during the war, outlined for the
farmers the present problems of ad-
of national taxes.
Decision of immediate organization
of triffic department was influ- |
enced largely by comprehensive re-
port made by Clifford Thorne, ma /
tionally known authority on trans I
portation. 1t is intended that this de-
Dartment shall keep itself closely in
formed as to car requirements of va
rious agricultural regions, rate situ-
alton and kindred facts, and work
With the several stat efarm bureaus
,Or improvement of transportation
defects that in the last few years are
1eld to have cost the farms of the
country millions of dollars.
The next meeting of the organiza-
ion will be held in indianapolis, De-
,ember 5, and 8. In conjunction, it
vas decided that there shall be held
/ national farm women's meeting to
consider problems of home economics
md related topics.
1t was announced that Prof. G.. F.
Warren of Cornell university, H. A.
Wallace of Iowa and Senator .Capper
# Kansas had accepted positions on :
he economics committee of the fed
ration. Three additional members
will be named.
From Denver, the committee moved ..

WOOL pooling, sugar beet raising and !,

WORLDS LONGEST PIER.
Will Be Constructed on North River
at Canal Street.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
longest pier in the world soon will be
constructed on the Hudson river
water front at Canal street, Dock
Commissioner Hubert announced at
a meeting of the board of trade and
transportation. Construction. of the
pier is part of a plan now under way
for the Improvement of the port of
New York. he said.
The board adopted a resolution re-
questing President Wilson to appoint
a New York man on the Shipping
Board in lieu of Theodore Marburg.
who declined TO serve.
A resolution forwarded to the House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce urged cessation OF federal
opera ton of barges on the New York
state canals.
Another resolution urged abolition
of the Canadian governments imposi-
ton of a charge against each Ameri-
can shipper for every tariff publica-
ton supplied. The resolution char
acterized the charge as unfair and
unjust to the American shipper and
unbusinesslike and detrimental to the
interest of the Canadian government

weeks to decide whether all the work.

;ept the seamen. shalf be drawn to-
gether in one big union.
The three unions Of seamen are TAX.
ing ballot for or against a separate
amalgamation. Leaders of the feder-
alton have told the Daily Mail that
the scheme for a single union will
be adopted sooner or later
When this comes about the new
Transport Workers Union will take
rank with the National Union of Rail-
waymen. and for the first time the
triple alliance (miners. railway men
and transport workers) will consist
of three solidly organized bodies, each
with central executive possessing
full authority, subject to the deci sions
OF the national delegate conferences
to act on behalf of the whole organi-
cation. .
The newspaper points out that il.
does not follow that the suggested.
consolidation of power would increase
the danger of a combined strike which
would hold UP all the vital services of
the country. II great Industrial
crisis, affecting the whole alliance,
did reach final stage of deadlock a
Joint stoppage would undoubtedly, be-
facilitated. On the other hand expert
ence of the working of the alliance in
the few years of it's existence has
shown that the greater the power
welded the greater is the sense of
responsibility created on both sides
engaged in dispute. says the paper.
Union would include lockers, canal
workers, dock warehousemen. motor
drivers. bus and tramway employees
cart ers, and so on.

there. He said he had been on a BUSH
ness trip to Montgomery. Ala, and
was on his way home when found by
police here.
McLaurin denied any knowledge of
clothes and note intimating suicide
said to have been found near Blewetts
Falls, n. c. He had telegraphed his
wife from here yesterday, Every
thing is all right: don't worry" and
this caused special search to be made
here for him.

tive of Mr.. McLaurin. stated that after
leaving police station the banker had
been taken to private sanitarium
near Atlanta and found to be in good
condition mentally. After spending

CHER denied all reports that McLaurin

BILE, and emphasized that no matters

to do with his absence from home.

RAPS TRADE BRIBERY"
William B. Colver Assails Practice
Before Coffee Roasters. 80

ST. LOUIS. November 12.-Trado
practices and problems were con-
sidered at the tenth annual conven-
ton of the National Coffee Roasters
Association. in session here. -
Commercial bribery was attack ed
in an address by William B. Colver
of WASHINGTON. D. c.. former member
of the trade commission. who assert
ed its abolition would effect a saving
to the distributor and consequently
reduce prices or make advances un-
necessary
This practice. which he described
as paying specified percentages Of the
purchase price of commodities to en-
ployes whose recommendations prac-
tically controlled the buying for their
firms has been and IS still deplorably
prevalent in some industries" the
speaker asserted. These commits
sions run up into enormous sums"
he emphasized.
Mr.. Colver also advocated some
method of taxation that will "stim-
ulate production. rather than impede
it,. Taxation should be applied to-
'idleness. non-production and specu-
lation.'' he said. -
Under the present. income tax he
stated, capital is being taxed out of
productive enterprises and into nom
productive ones" explaining hun
dreds of millions of dollars" are being
put into bonds that are exempt from
taxation.
