The British delegation. through one of
its spokesman today. while approving of
the resolutions in principle. recalled the
fact that sinlular regulations adopted
at The Hague conference many years
ago had not been respected and they
seemed more or less skeptical as to the
value OF the Root resolution. Proponents
of the resolution feel, however. that they
are an improvement over The Hague
rules in that they contain within them
selves the means for severely furnishing
violators of the regulations. It is con-
ceivabla that the international supreme
court. an ontgrowth Of the Paria con-
ference, may be the tribunal which In

these regulations have been violated.

if Italy made the same claim. as has

are decided and the reports adopted

pernatural powers is growing, writes the

"atahatma" means wonder worker"

he could stop bullets. heal disease, re-

then assured his followers that ne could

CALDER PREDICTS
PACT RATIFICATION
Expects That Senate Will
Pass Fav0rabIy on Four
Power Treaty.

SCHENECTADY, y. Y, December
Rehabilitation by the United States
Senate of the four-power treaty rcla-
tive to insular possessions in the Pa
cifc was predicted by Senator Calder
in an address before the Rotary Club
here today. He said. however. that
amendments or reservations to the
pact might possibly be made before
consideration of it in the upper house
of Congress was completed.
Briefly outlining the problems now
before Congress and the administra-
ton. he declared reduction of the an
nual cost of government below $3,500,-
100000 would be a Gigantic task
until the country's war debt was
justment of the debt owed this coun-
try by foreign nations. but added:
Cannot Hurry Payment.
1T is impossible to expect these
nations to pay at once. and to attempt
to force them to do SO would not only
fail of the purpose. but would encour-
age an unfriendly relationship which
would be entirely unnecessary and
come in many years"
Provisions of the new revenue act
were defended by the senator. who
said its primary purpose was to
compel economy of expenditures" He
remarked this was not a time to i'm
pose new and additional taxes. hut
one in which the burden should be
lightened as much as possible. After
reviewing the provisions of the Law
he declared:
Question Of Honesty.
'1n the light of experience the issue
here narrows down to a simple uues-
tion of honeSty-shall we adopt taxes
which can be enforced, or shall we
continue tax laws which pretend 10
do what they cannot do? In my
opinion. there was no escape from the
conclusion that the excess profits tax
should be repealed Immediately. and
the excessive surfaces reduced jus. as
rapidly as the public opinion will per-
nit. l make no concealmen. of my
personal opinion that the retention
of the excess profits tax for 1921. and
the failure to make more sweeping
reductions in the surtax rates. are
mistakes"

INCOME TAX CHANGES
Congress Will Improve Law, Says
 Former Revenue Man.

Shreveport, June 6.-'Congress, act ing in this present special session will undoubtedly improve the struc- ture of the income tax law" said Ar thur A.

 Changes most needed, MT. Ballen- tine, include the abolition of excess profits tax; lowering of surtax rates adoption of method for taxing extra ordinary income, and permitting net losses in one year to be offset against net income of subsequent years The changes in administrative features, he said, can be almost as helpful as the changes in the income tax law itself.

 The Red Cross organized to aid suf- ferers, and c. W. Lee was named food administrator to have charge of ra- tioning the food available in the city today. The whole business portion of Pueblo was under 6 to 8 feet of wa ter this morning, but by afternoon the flood had begun to recede, disclosing a scene of devastation.
 The railroad yards were left filled with undiscovered debris and broken equipment, increasing the damage by more than million dollars.

Mont. Hard Wheat Tops
Market by Milling Quality
Commands Cents Premium at Terminal Markets-Mills
Pay More To Mix With Soft Varieties-No Assurance
That Price Will Hold Big Spread Between Cash
And Sept-Local Crop Shows Splendid Quality.

This big premium results from
the strong demand for hard wheat of
high milling quality to mix with the
softer wheats from the wheat states
farther south. Buyers say that there
is no guarantee as to how long this
premium will last although indica-
tions are fair that it will continue
indefinitely. The spread between the
Montana and the September option
is now about As cents, so it is evil
dent that September wheat must go
up or cash wheat come down, but
whatever happens, Montana wheat
growers are sure of a large advan-
tage in the matter of price over
growers in many other districts, that
have produced wheat of lower mil
ling qualities. Of course, being far
removed from the terminals, freight
cuts more deeply into the price.
Freight, commission and handling
from this point represents 25 cents
per bushel.
The card price today is $1.08 and
5he Is cent premium makes the ac-
,ual price $1.23. Durum wheat is
30c, flax SLIGO and rye 79c.

New wheat is being received at
the local elevators in increasing
quantities each day now. The Occi-
dent elevator is loading a car today
for shipment to the Russell-Miller
mill at Minot. Manager Dougherty
is also loading his first car today at
the west elevator.
The Equity and Patton elevators
are also receiving their share of new
wheat. The Imperial is building
new dump and electrifying the plant
and will not be ready for day or
two.
The marketing conditions at pres
ent for the quality of wheat that this
section produces is especially favor
able just now Hard Montana wheat,
bluestem and fife of the best
milling quality is quoted at prem
lum of five cents over the card price
in the terminal market. In addition
to this some local buyers are paying
for wheat that comes up to certain
milling standards an additional prem
UNI of ten cents. This total prem
UNI of fifteen cents holds good on
grades 2 and as well as 1, but of
course the base price is lower on the
over grades.
