portance Of corn production IS mini
mized in America and a minimum
price of 81 bushef placed on corn
would stabilize agriculture quicker
than a minimum price on wheat. &C
cordIng to Congressman John ii
Morehead OF Nebraska. in an ad
dress in the lower house.
The Nebraska congressman bases
his belief on the fact that wheat II
grown all over the world, which. HI
asserts. would make IL difficult fol
the United States to fix the price oi
the world wheat market. He alsc
said that 10 per cent OF the worlds
output of corn is grown In this coun-
try, thus making IL much easier for
tho United States to fix a world price
on corn. lie daringly took a slap al
the efforts OF farm organizations to
control crop prices. denying that they
would ever be practical for salvation
OF the farmer.
For many years" Morehead said
II have watched farm organizations
but they are not getting results. They
are scattered over too much terri
tory to be successfully organized.
Would Take Chance
II shall vote for the McNary- Haug
en- bill. as the desperate condition oi
the farmers justifies taking a chance
but / am not fully persuaded that re
lief will come with its passage.
III minimum price OF 81 per
bushel was fixed on corn all corn
producing states would be removed
from wheat production and few cat
tie and hogs would be raised in the
same states until prices Of beef and
pork were In keeping with the price
OF corn. and. IL the tariff prevents I'm
portation Of wheat. practically all OF
tho wheat raised would be for home
consumption.
Food Value Great

Tax Fight
Looms Up
in Senate.
Decks Cleared for Action on
Report Of Finance Com
mittee Restoring Mel.
lon Rates.
Democrats Sharpen Axes
BY International News Service.


Washington, April 5.-The stage
was set tonight for the re.enactment
in the senate of the great tax fight
staged in the house of representa-.
tives a few weeks ago.
Having ripped out of the tax bill
the Longworth compromise rates
adopted by the house after the Mel.
Ion rates were rejected, the senate
| finance committee put most of the
Mellon rates back in the bill today
and ordered It laid before the senate
| next week.
At the same time, the democrats
on the committee announced that
simultaneously with the majority re-
port by Senator Smoot of Utah. the
committee chairman, they would of.
fer tax plan OF their own. differing
radically from that backed by the
administration.
The committee bill viii propose a
maximum income tax rate OF rs per
cent. compared with so per cent at
present, while the democrats will try
to put the maximum at 40 per cent.
May Support Democrats.
Republican insurgents are expected
to support the democrats-as they
did in the house-f1rst to beat the
Mellon rates and then TO put through
n compromise, which ultimately may
be the same as that approved by the
house-3iik per cent on incomes II
excess of 100000.
~ all the essential features of the
bin the committee aceeded to the
wishes of President Coolidge and Sec
retary Mellon.
The heaviest increases by the COM
mittee were in the miscellaneous tax
rates. Tax on telephone and tele-
graph messages were restored. This
was expected to add s34. 900. 900 In
revenue.
Jewelry Taxed.
Jewelry with a value of s25 or
more was taxed per cent. The
house fixed $40 as the minimum
exemption on jewelry. Candy was
not taxed and the tobacco tax re-
mained the same as in the present
bill. Taxes on automobiles, trucks.
bodies. tires and accessories gener-
ally were reduced. Five per cent
must be paid on theater tickets cost
ing so cents or more.
In the face of the objections OF
President Coolidge. the committee
voted TO place 10 per cent manufac-
turers' tax on all radio sets.
