Taxes Will Take Profits
From War, Davis Says
BY tire Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS. May 20.-Ches-
ter c. Davis warned today that no
participant in defense production
should expect to enrich himself
through the national effort, and said
I'VE must expect to return to the
Government through taxation" eX-
traordinary profits.
The president of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of st. Louis and former
member of the Defense Advisory
Commission told the convention Of
the National Cottonseed Products
Association, Inc:
I'VE must expect to divert our
savings by whatever extent is re-
quired to the financing of this
(defenSe) program.
Mr. Davis said there should be no
alarm about a carryover Of more
than 100000 bales of cotton which
he predicted at the beginning of
August, 1941.
I'm crisis like this" he said, "any
industrial nation would give much
to possess it. I am not one of those
who believe we have lost our world
market for cotton. We haven't if we
possess the sense and courage to
fight for it,
At the end of the present conflict,
he added. the world would be faced
with the greatest need of food and
fiber ever known.
Until then" he said. cotton
farmers particularly must be pro-
tected from the sudden shock of
losing 20 per cent of their market
overnight. 1t is sound national
policy to use the price-bolstering
mechanism of loans and parity pay
ments to sustain farm income"

Oil Prices Indicate
Sharper Gasoline
Advances Ahead
Crude Quotations Rise
Along Wide Front
As Costs Increase
BY the Associated Press.

TULSA, May 20-The Nations
defense effort has spread higher
crude oil prices through six States
and a sharper upward trend was
forecast today for filling station
gasoline prices.
Shell Oil Co.. Phillips Petroleum
Co. and Skelly Oil Co, posted To-
cent a barrel increase for crude oil
they purchase in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and
Illinois. Most other major COM
panies we're expected by oil eXecu-
tives to follow. The industry's leaders
declared the price increases had been
expected for some time because Of
increased labor and material costs.
At the same time. it was pointed
out that thus far this has been a
record d-breaking year for ConSump-
ton of petroleum products.
Demand Expands.
The stimulus of the gigantic ma
tional defense program to industry
and TO motoring in general has in
creased demand for oil products
about IS per cent.
The upward price movement be-
gan April l after crude prices had
remained virtually unchanged for
about three years. The first increase
was 5 to 7 cents a barrel. Illinois
since has received another scent
increase.
Gasoline prices have strengthened
over the same period and now are
almost a cent gallon higher at the
refinery than 60 days ago Retail
prices over the country have been
edging up a half cent to a cent.
Marketmen declared they expect
another increase in filling station
prices-probably a half cent to
cent a gallon higher.
New Tax Proposed.
They added that filling station
prices will be further increased if
an additional cent a gallon tax is
levied in the new defense tax bill
The present Federal gasoline tax is
IL cents a gallon. 1t has been
proposed that it be raised 2i2 cents
a gallon.
The new crude oil prices gives
Kansas and Oklahoma a top of
Sl25a barrel, Illinois Sl37, with the
tops in New Mexico. Louisiana and
Texas ranging from 81 cents a barrel
to S1.29, depending on the producing
area.
