London; Nov. 15. According cress rerjorts from Stockholm travelers to Haparandja, Sweden, from Finland say rumors are current there that Petrograd is in flames. to by a r making it peculiarly subject to all the ills in marketing conditions. The control of the local market through locally controlled elevators, he said, is ineffective without control also of terminal market, hence arose the demand for state owned elevators. A constitutional amendment was adopted to authorize these but the lowered unolheiali , cjrcumstance. said Mr. Packard, far Copenhagen be-1 nished A. C. Townley with the occas ion for starting in March, 1915, the movement which in June had grown from nothing to an organization with 1 ."0,000 members, maintaining three newspapers and with hundreds of or ganizers working in eleven states scattered from North Dakota to Tex as and from Wisconsin to the Pacific coast. Outlining the arguments set forth to bring about this organization, Mr. Packard said they included the following: That boards of trade, such as the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, controlled the great milling and ele- vntr ciimrmnies and plaved at .lucks and drakes" with the farm ..r'i nrnttts through manipulation in snlea with the result that the far mor was compelled to accept an inad- quate price for his wheat while the consumer was forced to pay an un reasonable higher price than the f:irmnrs received. That the farmers were "gouged" out of millions of dollars annually through false dockage lor io.reign if ixl and dirt. Thnt. thp high e-rade hard wheat North Dakota was mixed in the terminal elevators with soft wheat and the mixture raised to the f thf hard wheat That the selling price oi ieea Vind been raised more man V2' per cent over the price paid to the farmer by invention ot new grades. . , Mr. Packard quoted President Ladd of the North Dakota Agricul tural College as asserting that the marketing conditions cost the far mers of North Dakota $55,000,000 annually. Another argument used by the lar mers was "that the present profit on a barrel of flour milled by the big milling concerns of Minneapolis is $4.89, that the middleman s and .i::kf r.ra nrnfit.s are $5.00 per barrel, making a total profit on the t'. tt General Korni- Kremlin, where the besu-.ged several ; : !;. r rumor said that j a revolution and ..!

Belief that it is exceedingly probable that an excess pronts tax, now impuseu as a war measure, will continue as a permanent part of the American tax system was expressed by Pro fessor T. S. Adams, of Yale Uni versity, in an address he delivered here today betore the IMationai lax Association's convention. This tax ation of excess profits would be, in Professor Adams' opinion an ex pression of the principle that the state and the community stand as si lent partners in every business en terprise. Professor Adams is now serving as special adviser of taxation to the treasury department. He strongly advocated the taxing of all business units on their net in come, the wisdom of which course has been for many years the subject of considerable difference of opinion by tax authorities and others interested in scientific methods of taxation.
