1888 CONSERVATION
PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
Goals" Include Prac-
tees Which VIII Help
Restore Resources

Following a conference in
Washington of representatives Of
State Conservation Committees
and the extension service from all
states with officials of the AAA,
the program for 1898 was an
nounced Maryland was repre-
scented at that conference by Paul
E. Nystrom of the University of
Maryland extension service at
College Park, and w. E. Burall
a member of the State Conserva-
ton Committee of New Market,
Maryland.
While the aims and objects Of
the program are much the same
as last year the term goals"
will be used in connection with
acreages of crops and practices
under the program.
The goals" for soil-depleting
crops are the acreages which
would be required to meet nation
al needs for consumption and ex-
ports of such crops. The soil
building "goals"l will hcIude
crops and practices which will
help in restoring and maintaining
the soil resources of the nation.
The national goal will be brok-
en- down to state, county and indi-
vidual farm goals, so that each
farm will have soil-depleting
goals, and goals for soiEconserv-
ing crops and practices. In gem
eral the classification of crops is
about the same as in 1897.
In 1898 the maximum payment
for each producer will be calcu-
later at the beginning of the crop
year and the attainment of the
soildepleting and soil-building
goals will be set as conditions of
full payment. Each producer
will know what to do on his farm
for complete cooperation.
Establishment of goals and
other administrative work will
be carried out through State and
county committees of farmers.
The maximum payment for the
farm will be computed by apr =
ing the specified rates &c the
acreages in the soil-depleting
goals, and to the soil-conserving
acreage.

3-M0NTHS' AID
VOLUME RISES

The volume of advertising placed
by retailers in the newspapers OF
II major cities this year through
April 8 was 1907, $40 lines greater
than that placed in the same cities
during the corresponding period
of 1886, according to Advertising
Age.
Total retail advertising volume
in those cities during that period
was 259,907,229 lines, compared
with 242, 809,280 lines last year, a
gain Of 1907, 949 lines, or 7 per
cent.
For the seven-day period ended
April 3, retail display advertising
in the measured cities totaled 90
957,678 lines against 22,605, 808
lines in the comparable week OF
last year, a loss of 1,648, 100 lines,
or 7.3 per cent.
This loss was to be expected,
the advertising publication says,
because Casters early arrival this
year already has shown its effect
on retail trade whereas it will be
two weeks before 1887 passes the
comparable period in which Easter
fell last year.

While a steadier tone developed

the weaker issues.
Oils were irregularly lower as an
early gain Humble Oil was erased.
Lion Oil and Standard of Ken
lucky eased, while Gulf advanced
fractionally.
A gain to two points in ALUMNI

VI POSOOO 0AA VNC1S
Preliminary reports by Acting
Secretary Of the Treasury Roswell
Magill revealed today that so far
this year a total of 100000 in.
come tax returns have been filed.
This Is an increase Of 1,026.574
over the number of returns filed
q year ago.
Although analysis Of 1896 tax re-
turns Is still In progress at the
various revenue collection offices,
Treasury experts forecast the
number Of persons paying taxes on
incomes 70 $1,000 or more may
reach close to 100000.
GAIN OF 100000
This would be q rise Of about
100000 over a year ago, when a
total Of 500, 900 taxpayers with In
comes of $4,000 and above were
tabulated.
Large-Scale distribution Of divi-
dendS by corporations at the close
Of 1886, resulting from the newly
enacted tax on undistributed cor
porate earnings, played a major
part in boosting many incomes
over the $4,000 mark. Better eco
nomic conditions also resulted in
widespread salary rises and bonus
increases in many industries.
100000 INCOMES
During 1885, only Al individuals
paid income taxes on earnings of
$1,000, 900 or more. This year,
despite many large exemptions
taken by wealthy persons, this
number is expected to show a size
able Jump. Officials refused to
give any formal estimate, but con-
coded the millionaire group might
muster a total Of more than 100.
In 1929, a total Of 511 individ-
ualS paid taxes on $1,000 900 or
more. In 1892 this group had
dwindled to select circle of 20.
AS a result of higher incomes
last year, the Treasury's receipts

from income taxes during the first
two months Of the current fiscal
period scared approximately 20
per cent above the 1885 volume.
Between July l and August 80,
income levies produced 500, 491.-
322 compared with $70,039,5e0 re-
ceived during the corresponding
period q year earlier.
The Treasury expects to be en-
riched by nearly $3.50, 100000 ad.

payments come due.

SUGAR COMBINE
BRINGS WRATH
OF ROOSEVELT
Signs New Legislation
with Great Regret"
By GEORGE DURNo

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 2
G.N.SJ her attack on
monopoly and Washington lobby
influences was recorded in Presi.
dent Roosevelt'S book Of political
philosophy today as he prepared
to leave the summer White House
here for q five-day cruise of Long
Island Sound.
Such terms rs "unwholy al
lance" were employed by the
President in denouncing q COM
bine Of Eastern sugar refinerS and
domestic producers for inspiring
sugar legislation he charged
helped mulct the American house
wife and refinery stockholders of
millions of dollars each year."
SIGNS WITH REGRET
The President signed the bill in
question with great regret" just
before packing his fishing tackle
to board the white House yacht
Potomac at Poughkeepsie this
afternoon. He explained he had
q "gentieman'S" agreement with
sugar State senators and reSpon-
sible House leaders to remedy the
situation.
Still possible was the call Of a
special session Of Congress to
force an immediate end Of the
Eastern refining monopoly. Aides
Of the President said no final de-
ciSion had been reached but init.
mated strongly November might
see Congress back to work.
STUDIES ORIENT
Signing of the so-called sugar
bill was only one Of many i'm.
portant executive functions Mr..
Roosevelt undertook prior to the
fishing trip. He determined, in
consultation with Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy, chief Of naval
operations, that no more Ameri.
can warships should be sent into
the trouble zone Of the undeclared
war between China and Japan.
In a conference with Robert w.
Bingham, ambassador to London,
he canvassed mutual problems
this country and England have
in the Far East.
Finally, the Executive disposed
of the last Of the l75 bills Congress
dumped on his lap Just before ad-
journment.
DOMESTIC AID SEEN
The sugar bill was signed rather
than vetoed, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
because he is primarily concerned
with the interests of domestic beet
and cane growers and of the cane
growers in the islands which are
under the American flag and the
cane growers of some of our close
neighbors, such as Cuba"
The yacht Potomac was due to
weigh anchor from Poughkeepsie
late this afternoon. Accompany
ing the President on his fishing
jaunt will be son and secretary,
James Roosevelt, Capt. Paul Bas-
tedo and Col. Edwin M. Watson,
the naval and military aides, and
Capt. Ross McIntire, White House
physician.
