Special Dispatch TO Tne star.
NEW YORK, July 27-The burden
on chain stores of heavy dis
criminatory tax legislation will be less
severe than was feared earlier this
year, according to the Standard Sta
tiStics Co. of New York. Only four
States have actually enacted such
legislation so far this year-California,
Iowa and South Dakota, which passed
new laws, and Florida, which passed
a drastic law supplementing the law
formerly in effect.
Of the three State Legislatures still
in session, only Wisconsin Is con-
sidering such q law and some chain
store legislation is probable before the
Legislature of that State adjourns.
The accompanying table shows the
maximum tax per store under the
laws in each State, with the number
of stores which must be included In
a single chain IN order that the max
imum rate shall apply.

WHEAT REFLECTS
SHARP CROP CUT
Expected Spring Yield Is
SIashed in Two by Rust
and Drought Conditions.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Markef Editor

CHICAGO. July 27.-Spectacular
sudden breaking up Of a brilliant
Spring crop prospect is just now the
major market influ,nce regarding
wheat.
Approximate unofficial estimates
are current that the 1885 expected
bumper yield Of domestic Spring
wheat has been cut In two by black
rust and by drought. making the loss
in this country l3600000o bushels.
Canadas wheat crop losses are at
present figured tentatively as 100000
900 bushels, and neither in this coun-
try nor in Canada has the damage
yet been halted.
Crop experts find tnat the black
rust, first discovered weeks ago near
Springfield, III. has apparently swept
like wild fire through the wheat fields
Northwest. Making matters worse are
accommodating reports Of much smaller
yields of United States Winter wheat
than were looked for.
Market Goes Higher.
Compared to one week back, the
wheat market here was AS SIS cents
higher this morning, with corn vary
ing from l cent decline TO 11s' ad-
vance, oats B-3B up, and provisions
showing rise of Is tu So cents.
Inasmuch as black rust will be able
to cause damage for one or two weeks
longer. If not more, the majority of
crop experts are refusing yet to COM
NIT themselves as to the final harvest
outcome. Significance, however, In
various quarters is attached to high
premiums that are being paid by
millers In all Of the leading markets
for hard Winter wheat especially de-
sired for -four making. In this con-
nection, particular notice is taken that
the sl-a-bushel goal often sought by
farmers has Just been reached In
Chicago by spot cash No. 2 hard Win
ter wheat, q usual contract grade for
future deliveries.
Rains Hamper Threshing.
Aside from black rust. the latest
disturbing crop development Is that
rains almost daily In Ohio have
greatly harnpered wheat threshing and
caused concern about damage to
wheat in the shock. This wheat Is
reported as totaling about 25,000000
bushels. Advices at hand are that
unless Ohio receives clear weather
hereafter and plenty of sunshine, the
wheat in shock will suffer severe dam
age, II the harm Is not already accom-
plished.
Corn values reflect rapid progress of
the new corn crop. Oats prices have
been hoisted as a result Of buying on
the part of previous speculative sellers.
Likelihood Of big decreases of Chi
cago warehouse stocks both for July
and August is giving strength to pro-
visions.

HOW FEEL

A cross section Of opinion on the issues
of war and peace has been obtained from
American college and university campuses
by the Literary Digest-whose editors ap-
parently are not happy unless they are
polling somebody about something-and
the results are interesting.
Of the 112,607 students polled, 80 per
cent favored government control Of NUM-
tons manufacture; sos per cent opposed
American entrance into the League Of Ma
tons; two-thirds expressed belief that Am
erica car stay out of the next great war;
and SO per cent said they would willingly
defend the country in case of invasion.
II would be interesting to know how
closely this reflects the sentiment of the
country as a whole. Offhand, one might
suggest that it is not very far from 1t.
It's a fair bet that the average citizen
distrusts the munition makers and the
league, feels that his country ought to keep
out of the next war. and is ready to do his
bit if anyone else starts anything.

CLEARING AWAY THE CONFUSION

If recent developments in the citrus in
dustry tend to clear away the clouds of
confusion in which the business seems to
be engulfed, everybody will be happy
including those against whom action APP
pears to have been taken.
We refer, of course, to the summary
removal of a Valley independent shipper
from his position as a member of the Tex
as Citrus Control Board, and to the fed
eral court action recently instituted against
another Valley shipper on charges of al
legged failure to observe the rules and reg
ulations of the control committee.
Surely all will be glad to have the au-
thority of the control board settled once
and for all.
Claiming that the board has exceeded
its authority in prohibiting the shipment
of the ''unclassified' grades of fruit and
in putting into effect an order pro-rating
shipments from the Valley, a number Of
shippers have been up in arms against the
board for months. Not only that, but a
number of shippers have been disregard
ing the orders of the board.
On the other hand, a large number of
shippers have felt that the orders of the
control board have been for the best in
terests of the industry, and have been OBJ
serving these orders in spirit and to the
letter.
Such a condition is manifestly unfair
and leads to manifest confusion in the
industry.
Far better to have the question of the
jurisdiction of the board settled once and
for all by court action.

WHAT DO WE WANT

Hardly a nan who has attempted to
serve the Valley in representative posi-
tons such as state senator. state repre-
sentative, national representative and SEN
ator but will tell you that his main trou-
BILE is in finding out what the people Of
the Valley really want.
A nov Is started, petitions 60 in, let
ters are written and kilograms sent, and
our representative gets all set to do his
stuff. Hardly has he prepared himself
for action, when he begins to receive the
same number of petitions, letters and
kilograms. opposing the move.
The Valley has suffered more in the
past, is suffering more in the present,
from inability to decide what is wanted.
than from any other one thing.
1t is about time that the Valley quit this
sort of foolishness.
