' r.IGHT. THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON; N. C SATURDAY; DECEMBER 21, 1918. MTOTE OS TAX $f MEASURE TODAY Simmons to Make Effort Have Bill Passed. To Renewal of Debate Halts Prosrress, Practically All ' of . Friday's Session Being: Devoted To Discussion. INSURAKCfi FIRMS :: - ARE BIG LOSERS 4 Influenza Epidemic Has CostJ Them Many Millions. Effect On Life Insurance Interest I Is ' Being Much Discussed, Although, Situation Is Not Regarded. As Serious. I Washington, Deer. 20. Although re neal today of general senate debate V batted progress on the war revenue bllt Senator Simmons, chairman of the t finance committee, announced that an f effort would be made to pass the -measure before adjournment tomor- t . j row. Republican leaders, however, ex pressed the belief that the measure J would go over until Monday. Practically all of today's session was devoted to discussion, the principal J speakers beng Senator Jones of New , Mexico and , Thomas of Colorado, both democrats. The former declared tKs "bill contained many inequalities aria V Injustices which handicap the conduct of business. ; peaking in support of a substitute measure which he is author, Senator Thomas declared the watchword for"i this-congress should be "retrenchment, frugality and 'econbmy.- Adoption of a federal budget system was urged by the senator who - said national bank ruptcy would result unless such a sys tem is out into effect. Senator Thomas opposed granting the recommendations made by Secre tary Daniels for increased naval ap propriations, declaring "every dollar - placed in a battleship is a dollar wast ed." Senator LiaFollette, republican, of Wisconsin, plans to discuss hie substi ? tute bill tomorrow, after which Sena v tor Simmons hopes to obtain a vote on ." ' he committee amendment providing for a 14,000,000,000 tax in 1920, the i section which republicans are oppos 4; tag. Just before the senate adjourned ;' ' . Senator McKellar, democrat, of Ten- nessee, announced that before final passage of the bill he would demand a separate vote on the postal section , tentatively accepted by the senate late yetsrday, proposing the repeal of the present zone systemv-fr second-class j mail and substituting a one-cent a pound rate withinloO miles and 1 1-2 cents beyond. N. C. WHEAT. ACREAGE SHOWS 1 PER CENT. LESS Acreage for 191.Fell Oft, Whether Due , to Labor Shortage, or to Loss Suf fered on 1918 Crop. (Special Star Correspondence). " Raleigh, Dec. 20. Whether the de crease in the acreage sown to wheat this fall in North Carolina is due most ly to labor shortage, to the prospects of peace, or to the financial loss ex - perienced by farmers in growing the 1918 crop, is a matter of conjecture. Anyway the final crop report for De cember first conditions issued by Frank Parker, state field agent of the federal department of agriculture, shows that the Carolinas are the only states east of the Mississippi that did not plant an increase in wheat acre age. as compared with last year, there being a one per cent decrease in these two states, and tdtal of 1,025,000 acres is the preliminary estimate for the state. The condition of our crop av erages 91 per cent of a full crop, this being the, same as last year .and for the 10 year average. The present prices received by farmers averaged $2.50 per bushel for wheat. The wheat, crop for the United States shows decidedly diffeernt figures from those for N&rth Carolina, there being a large inerease in acreage and condi tion. The autumn sown acreage is 49,027,000 acres compared with 42,301, 000 last year, which gives an Increase of 16 per "cent. The condition' of this crop is over 98 per cent of a full crop as compared with 79 per cent last year and 88 per cent for the 10 year aver age. The price received byfarmers is 52.07. The rye crop shows one per cent in crease in acreage for -North Carolma, and almost two per cent for the Unitf v.v..j. . vui oiow ocouiuaiea acre-a-for threshing is 65,650 acres with eiconaition of 94 per cent. The United Slate's acreage for grain is 6,820,000 acres .with condition of 89 per cent. TJe fall plowing for North Carolina snowed arout t per cent less done than usual. This was doubtless . due to the extra efforts, combined with shortaee of.,labor that was given to harvesting oi oiner crops. The droughty condi tions in certain sections "made the soil too hard to be worked. .The state's wages of male farm la bor estimated showed that the average ; rate per month when hired by the year was ?26 with board and $35 without. While the average per day for ordin ary iarm work with board was $1.40 uid without board $1.70. Of course ipecial harvest wrk received higher wages. The weather conditions for the en tire year have been the most remark r able towaVd farmers of "any experienc ed In recent years. And the farmers worked as never before. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Dec. 20 With the tenacious hold that the influenza epidemic seems to retain in many sections of the state and the country at ltrge and the death toll it is imposing, the effect n life insurance interests is coming fn for much consideration by insurance ournals, the life companies, fratefriV als and policyholders generally. Happily it is being insisted upon jjy. the best insurance authorities, sajts Insurance Commissioner Young, that there is no occasion for special alarm so far as the, stability of the companies are concerned unless there is a very considerable increase in the spread and fatality of the epidemic. The best estimates, he says, placed the cost of the epidemic thus far to tike "level premium" companies at about $40,000,000 in death losses and the assessment associations and fra ternal orders in about the-same pro portion. The losses during the major prevalence period of the epidemic are estimated to have been about $10,000, 000 above normal. The rated mortality of members is estimated to have been from four to six times the normal rate. It is an interesting fact that one company reports thus 'far the loss of about 75,000 policyholders and the pay ment of about $15,000,000 in insurance, due directly to deatjis' caused by the influenza epidemic. The insurance experts say there is really no cause for alarm thus, far as the excess in losses will be taken care of . rapidly by, the companies and so cieties and there are no failures antici pated on this account. So far as the country at large is con cerned it is believed that the course of the epidemic has about run its course, the spread being stopped and patients recovering. Unfortunately there are' numbers of communities in this state, including Raleigh, Winston Salem, CharlotjQs and others that seem to be experiencing renewed outbreaks, but with precautions In minimizing the congregation 'of people in public meet ings and other precautions being ex ercised, there are ' indications that the control of the epidemic will be regain ed, although "the best judgment seems to be that'there will continue to be outbreaks through the winter andl early spring. , TESTIMONY OFFERED IN BEHALF OF SOCIALISTS Editor Of the American Socialist Ad mits Responsibility For Paper's Pacifist Policy.

Lovett. dean of the junior college of the University of Chicago, testified to day for the defense at the trial ot five socialist leaders charged with con spiracy to violate the espoinage law. He told of a mass meeting at the Ad itorltrm Chicago, May 27, 1917, which he was invited to address by Rev. Ir win St. John Tucker, one of the de fendants. ' Prof. Lovett said he was told the meeting was called to urge the government to state its war aims and that Rev. Tucker did not speak at the. meeting except to appeal for a collection. .The direct examination of J, Louis Engdahl, a defendant, who is . editor of the American Socialist, began late today. He said he was in sole charge ot the paper and responsible 'only to th'e executive committee of the nation al 'socialist party. The policy of the American Social ist was opposed to the war, Engdahl said, admitting responsibility for that policy "because of my convcioit.tjjjat all wars are caused either directly.br in directly by economic disputes between. individuals or groups, and I followed the policy laid down by the interna tional socialists in framing a policy for the paper." Engdahl said he was a delegate in 1910 to the international socialist con gress at Copenhagen where th'e .princi pal question was war and militarism.
