Crop Storage
Space Needed

Washington, June = ms =
Sen. Arthur Capper (R) Kan, said
today that unless storage space is
found at once for the largest wheat
supply in this nations history, the
country will face a spoilage loss that
may run to 300,000,009 bushels or
more.
Pointing out that people in many
parts of the world are starving,
Capper asserted that amy loss is
shameful.
He estimated that the total of
wheat on hand when the 1912 har-
vest of winter is completed will be
about 1600,000,000 bushels.
This is more wheat, he said, than
the nation has ever had before or
ever contemplated having and that
it will be on hand in the next 30
to so days.
DR.. H. c. Trelogan, chief of the
marketing section Of the Office of
Agricultural War Relations said he
did not believe the supply would
exceed 1.40O 900 900 bushels. How
ever. he did confirm Capper's warn.
ing that the storage situation is des-
perate.
Trelogan pointed out also that
the nation cannot AFFORD TO lose
any wheat at this time, placing
the grain in the forefront Of critic
al war materials, exclusive OF its
wood value.

The all important consideration

added. is not a condition that can

Alliances OF the future are likely to

Washington, June 1-INS-Hope
for relief OF the sugar famine in the
eastern section of the United States
was blasted today when officials
disclosed that high freight rates
will block shipment Of huge sur
pluses stored in the West.
Sen. Prentiss Brown CD Mich
chairman of a Senate banking sub
committee, announced that the only
remedy seems to be in authority
from Congress for federal subsidies
to permit transportation Of the
needed sugar.
The discovery that a great surplus
of the commodity in the West might
be denied eastern states dashed
hopes OF early relaxation OF the
strict sugar rationing. officials said
Il am informed by officials of the
Department OF Agriculture that
great difficulty lies ahead in move
ment Of sugar from the West unless
a subsidy is approved" said Brown
''In the past beet sugar has not
moved in great quantities east Of
Chicago because Of the freight cost
and competition with Cuban sugar
Producers in the West say that

cannot ship to the East without

States Worry
Over Drop in
Gasoline Tax
Rationing Makes
Serious Inroad

Washington. June Inns The
Bureau Of Internal Revenue today
disclosed that federal gasoline tax
collections dropped nearly sS,0e0, 600
from February. to March because o;
gas rationing and the rubber short
age and it was reported that state
tax authorities are becoming
alarmed over the situation
Federal revenue from taxes on
gasoline decreased from nearly
100000 in February to only a
little over s2l, 200, 900 a month later
Similar declines were reported by
the various states, where gasoline
taxes are one of the principal sourc-
es of revenue.
February gas tax collections in
Illinois were nine per cent below
collections in the corresponding
month of last year. Decreases re-
ported by other states were: Iowa
six per cent; Missouri 10 per cent;
New Mexico 1865 per cent.
In Rhode Island, the governor has
called for utmost economy in
state government operations, de
claring that the state faces a loss
OF 100000 in revenue because Of
gasoline rationing.
No one would estimate how much
alternative taxes, which in normal
years bring the states over 81 900,
100000 in revenue, may decline q
gasoline rationing is put on ma
tionwide basis and if no suitable tire
substitute is found.
The West Virginia roads commits
sion, attempting to look over what
appears to be a.dark state taxation
prospect, made a survey OF condition
of tires on passenger cars in that
state and reached the conclusion
that by July 1913, only about 20
per cent Of the automobiles would
still be in operation.
