WHEAT DROPS
BELOW DOLLAR
Uncertainty Over Rail Strike and
Adverse Foreign Factors Ac-
count for Decline.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Wheat dropped
In price here today to below one
dollar bushel. The break in
values to less than such a notable
dividing line failed to bring about
any material increase, Of buying,
although for a long time many
traders have been expecting that
quotation as low as $1.00 would
stimulate business.
Uncertainty over the rail strike
outlook together with adverse for
eign financial conditions appeared
to be among the chief factors lead
ing to the decline in the wheat
market. Evident dearths Of buy.
ing orders resulted in a, general
selling movement on the part Of
holders who were trying to stob
losses September delivery Of wheat,
which closed yesterday at $1.011as
to $1.01x went down to .99E to.
day, and all deliveries OF wheat
reached q new low price record

Rotarians were told by Senator
Harold C. Kessinger today at the
noon luncheon Of the organization,
that Illinois has been laboring
hinder the same tax system ever
since 1902 when the capital was

speaker, which makes every citi-
zen who reports all his tangible
property to the assessor in danger
OF. losing the whole of his incofnH
aunder this system, he said, men
are either fools or liars when it
comes to setting down their tax
able properties, and there are not
many fools in Illinois"
1t was Senator Kessinger's con-
tention that Chicago owns go per
cent Of taxable property in Illinois,
and assumes but 40 per cent of the
burden.
The speaker took fling at the
sensational press of the COUNT Y,
saying that the first page of the
average metropolitan daily was
not a mirror. rejecting the normal
life of a people, but a magnifier,
chronicling the abnormal.
Following an expression of ap-
probation for an editorial appear
ing in Saturday nights Argus, on
the part Of President John G. Hun
toon, the senator remarked: Yes
when an editor takes a stand for
the right, tell him So"
Mr.. Huntoon said he did not
know what the Rotary club

for him, he wanted to say that he
Thought it was very timely, and he
