From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Aug. 21. (Special.) The new revenue bill, proposed by con gress does not meet the approval of Land Commissioner G.L. Shumway, , so far as it covers tax on potash. He believes such a tax would be a men ace to the industry in this state, and , speaking of the matter today, said "The revenue bill, which Is under consideration by the congressional committee having the same in charge, contemplates putting a heavy tax on transportation of potash, particularly if for any great distance. This fea ture is a danger to the big sandhill industry, and particularly vital to Ne braska mills, for the potash market is largely at Birmingham and other southeastern community centers. There it is extensively used in the production of citrus fruits, other foods and tobacco. The consequences to Nebraska's big industry, as well as its relation to food production, should be well considered, and the menace eliminated from the bill. "Dr. G. C. Spencer, of the Bureau of Soils, Department of Agriculture, was in conference with Land Com missioner Shumway, Tuesday, in which this matter was duscussed. , "Dr. Spencer is a potash expert, nd debated with the commissioner the problem of increased activities in Nebraska and federal co-operation in enlarging potash production. Naturally this covered the subject of legal complications covering state lands, and the plan of federal control as a war measure, which has been heretofore proposed by Commissioner Shumway. "It was suggested that perhaps Ne braska could do its share by removing rapidly the obstacles in the way of production by the state and from state lands, which can be best ac complished by co-operation of all in terested parties, and the Department of Agriculture could exercise its friendly services with comprehensive representations to congress concern ing the danger of the federal tax on transportation."
