MAPLE SAP IS
 RUNNING NOW
Bumper Crop Reported in VermOnt-Weather
 Is Watched

St. Johnsbury, Vt, March 18- (UP)-Maple sugar farmers" have begun harvesting the 1888 crop which is expected to be a bumper one because of ideal weather con- ditionS.
 Though only 20 per cent of the trees have been tapped, the harvest ing is expected to be in full swing within week. Sap has been run ning for more than 8 week in the southern section of the state.
 Thin columns of smoke already are curling over the upland sugar bush. Sap-gatherers are hustling from tree to tree, and horse-hauled sleds bearing vast vats are winding over snow-covered woodland trails.
 The sap, which looks and tastes like sweetened water, drips from metal or hickory spouts inserted in holes bored in the south or east side of trees. Though an old wooden bucket occasionally is seen, small pipe lines usually deliver the sap to the evaporators free of twigs and bark.
 A barrel of sap, 32 gallons, boils down to one gallon of syrup. One gallon of syrup can be made into eight pounds of sugar. This state produces one-third of the nations maple sugar and syrup.
 Because of recent rain night freezes and warm days, conditions are favorable for a bumper crop this year. However, the size of the crop will depend on the fickleness of the weather. A period of continued warm, dry weather would have an adverse effect.

FAULTY TAXES
 ARE CENSORED
Business Leaders Seek Revision in Administra=
 ton Bill

Washington, March 18.-(UP)- Business leaders today blamed faulty and oppressive taxes" for the current business recession and asked the senate finance commit tee to change the administration tax revision bill.
 Continuing attacks against al- legged inequities of the undistributed profits and capital gains taxes, they urged broadening the tax base to create increased ax-consciousness in the face of continued heavy gov- ernment spending.
 Tn the opinion of many people" M. L. Seidman of the New York board of trade said, i've are not in a business recession. We are in a depression, synthetic depression, a managed economy depression, a depression that is estimated to have cost us some $7O,0OO,00O in the period of single year.
 Many of our troubles can be traced directly to faulty and op- pressive taxes.
 Taxation is undoubtedly the most decisive deflationary influence in our capital economy today. It would seem to use that the best invest ment congress can make in reliev- ing the present distress to business and employment, is to take a con- structive, long-term view of our tax- ing methods"
 "A reasonable tax policy, one which will allow business to carry on and prosper, must eventually produce greater revenue than a sys- tenn Of punitive and extreme tax ation."
 Seidman said the house-approved bill is "still a long way from what is needed to get business back on it's feet"
