THURSDAY, JtTNS 29, 1923. Processing Tax Levied on Wheat to Start July 8 Proclaimed by the Department of Agriculture with the Presi dent's Approval. I Washington. Upshooting grain prices notwithstanding, a processing tax of 30 cents a bushel on wheat, effective at midnight, July 8. was formally proclaimed by Dr. R. G. Tugwell, assistant secretary of agri culture, after approval by President Roosevelt. The tax, to be collected from millers and other manufactur ers converting wheat into food prod ucts for home use, will be in effect for the ensuing marketing year. The rate, however, is subject to changes, which. Secretary Wallace has said, "will be as infrequently as possible." In terms of an average one pound loaf of bread, the tax will amount to .4 S3 of a cent. For all flour except whole wheat and graham the tax would come to .704 of a cent a pound. The proclamation will automatically put into effect compensatory import taxes of 30 cents a bushel on wheat brought into this country, in addi tion to the present duty of 42 cents a bushel. The swell In wheat prices during the last week was reported to have been ignored by farm administrators in determining the rate of the tax, which is expected to yield about 150 million dollars. This would be used to pay cash benefits to farmers agree ing to curtailment up to 20 percent of wheat acreage for harvest in 1934 and -935. The plan was sent by wire to President Roosevelt as he cruised up the New England coast on his first white house vacation. He signed it and returned it Immediately. A processing tax on cotton is to be ordered into effect about Aug. 1 to defray costs of a production con trol drive now under way in south ern states. Cotton prices recently have risen rapidly and their increase may also be ignored in" determining the tax rate, which, on the basis of early June price relationships, could be a maximum rate of 4.1 cents per pound. The farm act provides that the maximum processing tax that can be levied 1b the difference between the current average farm price of a com-, modity and its "fair exchange value, which is based on prewar average farm prices. The "fair exchange" value, which recognizes living costs to farmers, is that which gives a bushel of wheat or other commodity the same purchasing power as it bore from 1909 to 1914. Tugwell did not specify what period was used as the basis for the figures. State Journal. Journal Wanx-Jiao got rooulUl REPORTS PETE RAtK From "Wednesday's Daily John L.

Court Enjoins Cities Enforcing Rate Ordinances Nebraska City, York Cannot Uphold Ordinance Fixing Sates for Power and Gas. Interlocutory injunctions in the cases of the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power company versus York and the Central Power ( company versus Ne braska City were granted in federal court by Judge Hunger Tuesday. The power companies had sought to en join the cities from enforcing ordin ances fixing power and gas rates.

S teals Portion of Hay Bake. In order to be better prepared to care for the haying John McKay made the purchase of a new steel toothed hay rake which after he had used left standing in the field. He had said to the son. we had better take that rake home or some one will take it, but they did not .and when they returned to the field, having sold some hay, they found that the rake was minus five teeth, these teeth evidently having been taken by some one to repair their rake. While there are well grounded belief as to the thief, still the matter of proof is lacking. Should it be found out defin itely that the one under suspicion was the guilty man he will be given the full force of the law. Heets With Accident.
