ST. PAUL, Aug. 16.-While bust
ness conditions in the northwest are
steady, low prices obtaining for
grain and live stock are slowing up
liquidation Of those assets and little
hope is expressed here for decided
Improvement in the general situation
before spring unless grain prices ad-
vance. The new spring wheat IS ar
irving here and at Minneapolis and
is of much better grade than the
1920 crop, but the yields have been
smaller than has been expected.
Other small grains and corn are in
excellent condition. The corn yield
is expected to be exceptionally high.
Vegetable prices, usually at the
low point at this time of year, are
higher than at any time this sum-
mer. In the last three weeks toma-
toes have risen from 80 cents
bushel to SO in the local market. The
poor fruit crops have resulted in
brisk demand for the canned var1-
cites with prices firm and showing
a tendency to go higher.
Hog and cattle prices are 1rregu-
lar. Hogs are selling at a spread
between So and $1,000 a hundred
pounds. Heavy steers sold today
for SO, a new high price for the
summer Stockers and feeders are
selling from 81 to $3.50, giving feed
ers a margin of So compared with
todays price for steers,

SITUATION is CRITICAL
LLOYD GEORGE DENIES RIGHT
OF IRELAND TO sEcEDE.
ALL NEGOTIATIONS ON SUBJECT
REVEAIED-NEW DEMAND
FOR INDEPENDENCE.
Cw.si.rn Newspaper Union New, ssrlosJ

London.-Eammon de Valera, lead
er of the Irish republicans, has re-
fused to accept the proposals of the
British government, constituting do
minion government and having as
their basis the bringing about of
peace in Ireland. He declares that
the conditions sought to be imposed
constitute interference in Irish affairs
and control which cannot be permit
ted. On the other hand, Mr.. Lloyd
George has informed Mr.. De Valera
that there can be no compromise on
the question of the right of Ireland
to secede from her allegiance to the
king. The premier tells Mr.. De Va
lera that the conditions of the pro-
posed settlement contain no desire on
the part of Great Britain for British
ascendancy over Ireland or the i'm
pairment of Ireland's national ideals.
"Our proposals present to the Irish
people," says the premier, IAN oppor-
tunity such as never has dawned in
their history before We have made
them in a sincere desire to achieve
peace, but beyond them we cannot
60"
Mr.. Lloyd George leaves open the
door for possible further negotiations
with Mr.. De Valera by saying that
the government will discuss the APP
plication of the principles of its offer
whenever acceptance of the principles
is communicated to him.
The official records in the Irish
peace negotiations were made public
unexpectedly. They show seemingly
a deadlock, based on vital difference
between De Valera and the premier
De Valera's renewed insistence on in
dependence and that Ulster shall be re-
garded merely as a minority faction
of an Irish nation.
The disclosures constitute the keen
est polotical sensation since the close
of the war. The politicians of Eoth
England and Ireland tonight were dis
cussing the question whether the door
had been closed on further negotiations.
They seemed to find in the concilia-
tory tons of the correspondence, now
ever, ground for hope that some bridge
might vet be built across the chasm
of difference over the question OF IN
dependence.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
all depends on the temper or the Dan
Eireann when it meets in Dublin on
Tuesday but that altogether Ireland
stands at present at the most critical
point of her history.
Great Britain offered Ireland com
plete autonomy in finance and taxa
ton, military forces for home defense,
her own police, and, among other
things, control of the Irish postal
service.

TAXES ARE CHANGED
ALL REVIsIoNs TO BECOME Eff
FEcTIVE JAN. 1, 1922.
MEASURE WILL REPEAL EXCESS
TAXES AND ALL TRANS
PORTATION lEVlES.
tw,.tsrp Ns..p.psr Union New. s.rIesl

Washington. - The administration
tax revision bill was laid before the
House of Representatives after the
Republican membership of that body
in conference had changed it so as to
make repeal of the excess profits tax
and the income surtax rates In excess
of 80 per cent effective next Jan. i,
instead of last Jan. l. This change, on
the basis of previous treasury esu-
mates would result in the corporations
and individuals with large Incomes
paying to the government in the next
calendar year something like $2OOOOO,-
600 more than they would have paid
had the administration plan of making
the repeaIs retroactive prevailed.
Total tax reductions for this fiscal
year under the bill as revised We're es-
timated by some majority members of
the ways and means committee at
$3.50, 100000 as against approximately
$550,O00,OO planned by committee Re
publicans and the total tax yield at
about S3,2OO,OO0,000.
As result of the changes made by
the Republican conference, majority
committee members further amended
the bill before its presentation in the
House so as to make corporation in
come tax 121a per cent after next Jan.
/, instead of 13 per cent as originally
planned and the manufacturers tax on
cereal beverages 6 cents gallon in
stead of u cents.
Much of its 16,000-odd words of text
is devoted to amendments of the ad-
ministrative and definitive sections OF
the present law, which We're drafted
by treasury experts with view to
clarifying specific portions of the 1918
act, and meeting situations arising
from decisions of the Supreme Court.
Aside from the revisions of the levy
sections already referred to, the bill
proposes repeal of all of the transpor-
tation taxes, effective next Jan. l, in
creased exemptions to heads of fami-
lies and married men having incomes
of less than $5,000 decreases in the
levies on candy, sporting goods, furs
and art and art works. the substitu-
ton of manufacturers taxes for the so
called nuisance and luxury levies and
other changes, details of which have
been given in previous Associated
Press dispatches.
Additional revisions include eXemp-
tion from taxation of the salaries of
the President of the United States and
the judges of the Supreme Court and
inferior Federal Courts, and also
amounts received by individuals as
compensation, family allotments and
allowances under provisions of the war
risk insurance and vocational rehabil-
itatiOn acts.

TRANSPORTATION RATES ON
HAY WILL PREVENT SHIPPING
AT ANY PROFIT.
Will REDUCE HARVEST
DEALERS SAY THOUSANDS OF
TONS WILL NOT BE CUT
THIS YEAR"
(wsstern Newspaper Union News serles.l

Acknowledgement of hay from
Omaha, Kansas City and other mar
liets has been curtailed more than 80
per cent by increased freight rates, ac-
cording 10 dealers who appeared before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in hearings on hay and grain freight
rates. Because hay is a cheap com
modify and moves longer distances
than other products, the traffic has
suffered more than others, witnesses
said, and thousands of acres of prairie
hay in the West will not be cut this
year.
ID. b. Tilson, traffic expert of the
Kansas City hay exchange, said hay
raised in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia could be transported by water
through the Panama canal to New
York for $12T5 IL ton against freight
charge by rail from Kansas City to
New York amounting TO $3.50.
n. c. Campbell, president of the
Kansas City Hay Dealers Association,
testified that before the increase in
rates last year Kansas City, said to be
the largest hay market in the world,
handled 10000 cars of hay a season,
much of which went to the South and
Southeast, to feed stock used in pro-
ducing cotton, sugar and other farm
products. With the increase In rates
the Kansas City market tonnage was
reduced by half, he said, farmers be-
ing unable to use hay costing $50 Il ton
as Il stock feed.
James T. Suite of the transporta-
ton department of the Omaha eX-
change, told of conditions in Nebraska
and surrounding states.
Quantities of hay will not be cut
this year. he said, because freight rates
have been so increased that the terri
tory to which hay could be shipped at
reasonable prices has been reduced
and prices have fallen with the reduc-
tion of competition.
Attorneys for the carriers objected
to the reading into the record of state
ments made by absent persons regard
ing the effect of freight rates, and
were sustained by Commissioner
Lewis.
Rate experts who will be put on the
stand by the grain committee, it was
Indicated, will undergo lengthy cross
questioning by railroad attorneys.

HARDING RECOGNIZES sENATE's
SHARE OF RESPONSIBLE IN
OUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
TO WORK WITH HUGHES
$1,000 APPROPRIATION is AP-
PROVED TO PAY EXPENSES OF
DISARMAMENT MEETING.
western Newspaper Union News serios1

Wnshington.-The Senate claim to
share of responsibility for the for
eign affairs of the nation was recog-
nized by President Harding by the des-
ignation of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, as member
of the American delegation to the dis
armament conference. Formal an
nouncement of the appointment was
made from the White House, where 1t
was indicated that the President felt
he had formed the nucleus of bal
anced delegation by choosing as the
first member Senator Lodge and Sec
retary Hughes, whose selections to
head the American representatives was
made known several days ago.
Other members probably will not be
chosen until it is determined definite
ly how many places each nation is to
have In the conference.
While diplomatic negotiations pre-
liminary to the conference were at a
standstill awaiting formal responses TO
the American governments invitation,
the administration advanced its physi-
rections.
In Congress, the Presidents request
for 100000 appropriation to pay ex-
penses was given approval by the Sen
ate appropriation committee and was
reported to the Senate for considera-
tion as part of the shipping board ap-
preparation bill.
BY State Department officials, vir-
tual decision was reached as to the
place of meeting here, and although
announcement was withheld, it was in
dicated that the Pan-American build
ing, situated near the State Depart
ment and White House, had been
chosen.
1t is understood that negotiations
with representatives of the Pan
American union for use of the build
ing will be concluded within a few
days.
Meantime, it was definitely and
finally disclosed that the American
government has no intention of pay
ing the expenses of the visiting dele
cations, a subject on which there has
been much speculation abroad since
the official invitations went forward.
In the highest administration quar-
ters,s was said this government saw
no reason why it should be expected
to pay the entire cost of the confer
ence in which all the participating
nations are as vitally Interested as
the United States, and that there
never had been any intention of doing
so
