The Southern Hemisphere-Aus-
tralia and Argentina-started the
present calendar year with two good
crops, which seemed to assure the
importing countries of ample supplies
for the remainder of the present crop
year, which ends July 81. India be-
gan the seasons wheat harvest in the
Northern Hemisphere, completing
cutting in May; and the outcome
was, as had been forecast, a short
crop. India is not only out of the
exporting list for the next II months
but may, and probably will, be an
importer.
With the winter wheat prospects in
the United States cut down 5,000,-
600 bushels to a total of STA, 100000,
estimated in the July report of the
Bureau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates, and the spring wheat condi-
tons reduced by heat, drouth, and
rust, the importers will apprehen-
sive,y watch the harvest in every
country until Canada's farthest north
crop is finally secured.
Canada's wheat is threatened by
drouth and rust.

holders of these monopolies now es-
cape without paying penny of Fed
eral taxes and that most of them pay
a disproportionately small amount of
state taxes.
Keller goes into the statistics of
the vast holdings of the lumber
THE coal companies to illustrate the
degree to which these groups con-
troll the economic life of the United
States, and suggests that taxation of
their privilege of holding land idle
is necessary to restrict their power
over the rest of the population.
His inheritance tax bill exempts
all legacies up to $4,000, and lays
tax of only one per cent on sums
up to $4,000. The rates are grad
ually increased, so that legacies of
100000 TO 100000 pay 25 per
cent, those from 100000 to $10,-
