~ ‘Administration SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927 __.. Big Style Man From Paris $300,000,000 TAX REDUCTION I$ HELD LIMIT Favors Cut- ting Corporation Rates and War-time Taxes Washington, Oct. 29.—(7)—A to- tal tax reduction of $250,000,000 or at the greatest $300,000,000 is the most the treasury will concede in its discussion of the administration's program next week with the house ways and means committee. Hear- ing will begin on Monday prepara- ine to drafting the new revenue uy. Although details of the program have yet, to be decided upon, it is known that the administration will seek to effect this slash by cutting corporation rates and repealing cer- tain 1uisance and excise taxes re- maining from war days. Repeal of the federal inheritance tax will be among the objectives of the admin- istration this year. Items Will Not Recur Under-Secretary Mills, who is to represent the treasury at the com- mittee hearings, is prepared to ar- gue for the quarter-billion limita- tion on the ground that recent sur- pluses were the result largely of revenue items which will not recur during the fiscal year under consid- eration. With western independent Repub- lican senators, who favor a minimum of reduction, holdirig the balance of power in the upper branch of the congress, if seems likely that pro- ponents of a smaller downward sion will have an advantage. The westerners believe reduction of the national debt is preferable to cut- ting tax rates. Not all administration supporters in the senate, however, are favorable to the $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 limit. Some including Chairman Smoot of the senate finance com- mittee are of the opinion that the reduction should reach’ a total of $350,000,000 while the Democrats are of the opinion that a cut of $400,- 000,000 is possible, JOWA MAN HAS DONE MUCH IN FARMING LINE H. D. Hughes of State College Will Speak at State Corn Show Nov. 2, 4 ill be one of the nt the state corn 1 here November 2, vin H show, to 4, and Mr. Hughes has had charge of farm crops teaching and investi- gational work at the Towa State College and‘ Towa ‘Agricultural Ex- periment Station for the past 17 years. During that period the work of the Iowa station with corn, small grains and legumes has_ been of ereat practical value to the farm- ers of Iowa and adjoining states. Interested in Clover Hughes has been particularly in- terested in sweet clover as a field crop and has carried on many in- vestigations with this legume, ad- vocating its meral use on corn belt farms. e yremarkable’. in- crease in the use of sweet clover as a field crop is one of the most im- portant -developments in crop pro- duction in the’ past quarter of a cen- tury. P : Professor Hughes is the discov- erer and introducer of the Hubam clover, the annual white sweet clo- ver, which is now well known throughout the country. Among other new crop plants for which Professor Hughes is responsible the Wood's clover, another annual legume, gives great promise as a green manure on soils so acid that sweet clover and many other clo- vers cannot be grown. ,Professor Hughes is the inventor of the Ames hulling and scarifying machine, the first successful ma- chine developed for scarifying sweet clover seed. Information re- garding the construction of this ma- chine was first made available in 1913 and in a very short time prac- tically all seed houses were using this equipment. During the past few years a-considerable number of different types of scarifiers have come on the market. ‘ The rag-doll method of, individual ear testing ‘seed corn is another of Professor Hughes’ products, This Lee Sire eae es Station in following years’ work during which time 13 methods of testing seed corn were compared, with 45,000 individual ear tests considered. The rag-doll method is now“used in making peobably, 95 per cent of the individual ear tests with corn, x IntereBted in Strain’ * Paul Poiret, Parisian couturier, photoed when he reached New York oa a style pilgrimage to the United States, LUND REPORTS ON HIS EXAMINATION OF 1. S. JOSEPH COMPANY RECORDS Made No Examination of Books of Midland Grain Company, Since That Con- cern Refused to Show Him Its Books—Joseph Company Also Allows Only Partial Audit Report on his examination of the I. S. Joseph company, Minneapolis, with regard to its transactions with the state mill and elevator, was filed wth the state board of audit- ors Friday by O. B. Lund. Lund made no examination of the books of the Midland Grain com- pany, he said, because that concern refused to open its books to him. The Joseph company also refused to permit him to examine into certain details of its business, Lund said, and he was forced to obtain data elsewhere with which to make com- parison of its dealings with the state-owned enterprise. . Lund was sent to Minneapolis to make the examinations by the audit- ing board after the Joseph company had asked the governor and-the state bank examiner to have an ex- amination made in order to prove that there was nothing irregular in its dealings with the mill. In a letter to the state examiner, the Joseph company attacked the Lund audit report of the state mill and elefator ‘in which reference was made to that institution’s dealings with the Minneapolis firm. The auditing board dispatched Lund to make the audit requested immedi- ately thereafter. Penalty Was Difference Commenting on the contracts by the state mill to deliver feed to the Joseph company, Lund said the Minneapolis firm’s books agreed with those at the state mill as to ices. The contracts called for the eliv at Minneapolis of 11,300 tons of mill feed and contracts for 1,522 tons were later canceled be- cause the mill could not make de- livery, the mill paying a penalty of $7 a ton for the cancellation privi- lege. The penalty per ton was the difference betwen the contract price of $21 per ton and $28 per ton, the market price at ihe time of cancel- lation. Lund said he was given full ac- cess to the books of the Joseph com- pany with regard to tis feed pur- chases during July and September, 1926, and found that the company had purchased feed from Minneap- olis mills at approximately the same price paid the state mill. In his comparison of prices, Lund said, he considered pure spring wheat brand as called for in some con- tracts worth 50 cents a ton more than the standard pric and the state mill middlings as eqyal to puinoenpalis middlings. rices Slightly Lower Feed purchases by th> Joseph company from Minneapolis mills in July, 1926, appear to average a lit- tle below the price paid to the state mill, Lund .said, but these were largely for immediate or early ship- ment. Their September, 1926. chases arene a little higher the price paid to the state mill. General pu bye Joseph company _ appes! average slightly below the Minneapolis mar- quotations but this may be due the fact that they purc! d in sider these as representative, Lund said he returned : . the matket quo- tations in an effort to determine the justification of the cancellation pen-! alty of $7 per ton. His comparison shows that. when! contracts were cancelled on Febru-; ary 28, 1927, the price for bran at} Minneapolis was $28 to $28.50 a] ton and for middlings $28.25 to $28.75 a ton. The price cf both} feeds at Grand Forl.s was $29.50 a ton. When cancellations were made on May 8, 1927, the Minneapolis bran price was $28.50 to $29 and the middlings price 327.75 to $28.25. The Grand Forks price for both feeds was 29. | said, that the} This shows, Lund cancellation prices wer: very close to the Minneapolis quotations. smmenting on the fact that the mill was permitted to fill some con- tracts after they had matured, Lund said this was because the two contracts in question did not carry a penalty clause in case of cancel- lation. Midland Co, Refuses When he appeared it the offices of the Midland Grain company, from which, his mill audit report charged, the mill had purchased large quantities of grain at high prices, he was told that he would not be mitted to examine its accounts ut that the company would furnish him its financial stateme:.t showing its net profits for 1926 to be a lit- tle more than $7,000, Lund said.
