v. S. Supreme Court Refuses Rehear-
ing on Tonnage Levy.
ST. Paul-Reduction of $1,000,000 or
more in state taxes levied next year
probably will be one of the sequels to
action of the United States supreme
court refusing to grant reargument
in the iron ore tax cases, it was an
nounced at the state auditors office.
The legislature authorized a four
mil levy for the state revenue fund
next year. but State Auditor Ray P.
Chase has authority to reduce this if
possible and has until Oct. l to make
the change The levy is likely to be
cut to or 81 mills.
No returns have been made by the
mining companies yet under the law,
which imposes a state tax Of 6 per
cent on net earnings from the opera
ton of mines. 1t is estimated that
100000 will be paid into the state
treasury within the next 60 days as
the tax due on 1921 operations, and
later in the year the tax for 1922 will
be computed and paid, probably
amounting to 100000.

HALF A CENTURY
TO PAY DEBTS
Britain May Be Given from Fifty to
Sixty-six Years to Complete
Payment.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

Washington, d. C. = The British
debt commission expected to be ready
to resume later today, negotiations
with the American commission on the
refunding of the British debt. The
scheduled meeting yesterday was post
poned while the British awaited in
structions from their government on
certain points ever which q difference
Of view is understood to have develop
ed. The points involved were not dis
closed.
On the question of the time of final
payment on the debt the suggestions
thus far developed were said to range
from so to Sc years with the American
commission proposing the shorter per-
iod and the British the longer as COM
pared with the % years limitation fix
eG by Congress. It is-on the question
of interest rate, however, that the two
delegations are believed to be farthest
apart. On this point, which American
officials declined to discuss, the only
statement made was that the United
States could not accept rate as low
as three per cent and also that grad
uated rate, of which there have been
suggestions, would be undesirable for
several reasons.

AMERICAN FARMER
In TICKLISH PLACE
Head of National Farm Bureau Tells
What is the Matter With Ag-
ricultural World.

Columbia, Mo. Although the AM
ercian farmer is said to be the most
efficient in the world, none is in a
more difficult financial position than
he has occupied during the last three
Years, O. E. Bradfute, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation de-
,lared in an address at the annual
meeting of the federation here today.
Agricultural depression, Mr.. Brad
iute asserted is largely attributed to
he following conditions:
/. Over production of farm prod
1ets with no adequate or profitable de-
nand for the surplus, which not must
20 for export, no method of limiting
,r controlling the surplus or, method
Il orderly distribution throughout the
iear, and lack of established grades.
2. transportation inadequate to the
reeds of agriculture and ruinously
costly.
3. A financial credit system without
sufficient fiexibility to meet the de-
hands Of agriculture.
For general exchange in other COM
nodities, Mr.. Bradfute asserted, the
arm products dollar is worth only 66
rents.
IF the proper relations could be re-
stored" declared Mr.. Bradfute, refer
ing to the relative values of farm and
,ther products, sit would mean to a
tate like Missouri, which has gross
ales from each of her farms an av-
rage of S1,4e4, the snug sum Of sass
~ each farm.
