.Iowa Congressman Says Senate
Will Enact Measure Next
. Month in Same Form
Passed by House.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Br.
Washington, D. C. Aug. 27.
(Special Telegram.) Now that the
members of congress have had a
chance to catch up in their loss of
steep and rest a bit from the stren
uous days preceding their adjourn
ment, those left in town, and by that
is meant republicans, have come to
the unanimous conclusion that the
first session of the Sixty-seventh
congress, thus far, has been a "hum
dinger." It is generally agreed that the
democrats will have to do some tall
misrepresenting to throw dust in the
eyes of the people over the actual
work by the congress now in recess
until September 21.
Congressman Green of Iowa, the
ranking member on the ways and
means committee, which formulated
the tariff and tax revisions bill asked
about the changes lie throught the
senate would make in these meas
ures, said: "It is generally believed
that the tax bill will be enacted by
the senate in substantially the form
it passed the house.
"There is some claim that the ma
jority of the senate favor making the
repeal of the excess profits tax and
the reduction of the surtaxes in the
higher brackets retroactive so that
they woutd apply to the taxes for
this calendar year to be paid during
the next year, but I am satisfied that
there is so strong a majority in the
house for the bill in its present form
that it would be useless for the sen
ate to undertake this.
"In my opinion the excess profits
taxes having been repealed largely
on the ground that they were pass
ed on to the consumer, it would be
indefensible to take off the taxes for
this year, for if this is correct, they
already have been, for the greater
part of the year at least, added to
the price of products. I shall cer
tainly, as one of the conferees on the
bill, resist any such attempt.
"As to the remainder of the bill
'there seems to be little controversy
and from what I can learn the bill
as a whole is being very well receiv
ed by the country at large. Over
Z.UUU.UUU taxpayers will be directly
benefited by the provisions raising
the amount of exemption to heads of
families and the additional allow
ances for dependents, which we re
inserted on my motion.
"The repeal of the transportation
taxes will, of course, benefit every
body, but more particularly the
. iarmers, to whom the tax on freight
has specially been a burden. There
has been some claim on the part of
the opposition that the bill would not
provide sufficient revenue but, as it
'stands, with the excess profits tax
collectable next year and the sur
taxes remaining the same, we will
have about $200,000,000 more than
the bill provided as originally intro
duced. With reasonable economy
this should be sufficient.
' "The ways and means committee
was attacked on the floor of the
rtouse by Bourke Cockran of New
York because it had announced that
it proposed to raise only a certain
amount and that the amount must
suffice. It did so state and we be
lieve that we have a sufficient num
ber of the house who will support
us so that the amount which the bill
will raise will not be exceeded by
expenditures. This may not be our
special prerogative but we are sat
isfied the country will support us in
our economy program and in turn
we propose to give the country the
relief from taxation that is provided
by the bill ,

Why the gift of $1,785,000, which
was made a day or two ago by John
D. Rockefeller for the purpose of
establishing a school of public health
at Harvard, ensisted of a somewhat
odd number of dollars is known only
to Mr. Rockefeller and to the Har
vard authorities. Mr. Rockefeller is
careful in estimating the amount of
money needed for. his benefactions
and he undoubtedly discovered that
$1,785,000, instead of $2,000,000 or
$1,500,000 were all that were needed.
This benefaction will be followed bv the
establishment of the health school In
neighborly touch with the Harvard med
Irnl school so that the two Institutions can
conveniently work In co-operation. The
Harvard medical school received a gift of
a large amount of money from the late
.Tunics Stlllman, who was Ion a personal
friend as well as business associate of
John I. Rockefeller and of Mr. Hockcfel
ler s brother, William.
This gift was made public a few days
after the departure of Mr. Rockefeller's
son. John P., jr., for China. There, the
younger Rockefeller will take part In the
dedication or .'oundatlon of the medical
school In which the senior Rockefeller hag
lURen mucn interest. As John D. Rocke
feller, Jr.'s, guests went three or four
men, some or tnem or eminence as health
authorities. Amoinf them was Dr. Will.
iam If. Welch of Johns HODkin. nnlver.
sity. Dr. Welch has been for years rec
ognizee, nere ana in Kurope as the fore
most American authority on biology, bac
teriology and kindred subjects. Ilia mas
tery of these sciences led him some years
ago to pursue a thorough study of the re.
lauon or them to the establishment of
neaun especially among school children.
Health First.
Some 25 years ago John D. Rockefeller
said to the late James D. Layng, with
whom formerly he had Important business
association, that he had been occupied
all his life up to that time In gaining
wealth. He was no longer thus occupied,
being careful only to conserve the wealth
he had gained. His new work he said
was to be the wise and beneficent distri
bution ot his wealth In the service of hu
manity. At that time Mr. Rockefeller was con
sidering a large endowment for the estab.
Ilshment of an institute of research In
the hope that It might make possible the
discovery of the causes of some diseases
so that if discovery were made then the
remedy or prevention would be indicated.
This institute was established and to it
Mr. Rockefeller gave millions. It made
posnible the marvelous achievements of
Flexner and the not so widely recognized
but nevertheless Important work of dis
covery by Avery, Stlllman and others. Dr.
Stlllman. who is absorbingly Interested
In the research work at this Rockefeller
foundation, is a son of the late James
Stlllman. and brother of James A. Stlll
man, who, until recently, was president
of the National City bank.
Mr. Rockefeller was nernmiftA anmn
time ago that valuable as are the discover
ies which have been made at the founda
tion and perhaps still more valuable are
to be the discoveries of which the world
may In the course of a year or two have
knowledge, nowrtheless this work should
be supplemented by instruction in health
given to the young. In Europe some of
the public schools already include health
Instruction as a part of the curriculum.
The knowledge and practice of the rules
which, if obeyed, give health and re
garded in some of the European nations
as of the first Importance In the educa
tional system of the schools.
Will Provide Teachers.
Mr. Rockefeller's gift to Harvard by
means of which a school of public health
can be established and adequately dt
rected, means that the Institution will
graduate by and by young men and
women who are qualified to go forth and
teach the children in the schools tho
rules upon which health is based.
Some of Mr. Rockefeller's friends are of
the opinion that his attention was first
directed to the value of health education
and also to the value of research work
at the time when he recovered from a
siege of ill health which has made him
a hermit for almost two years. Tho
treatment he then received and the know
ledge which he at that time gained
brought to his mind the thoush that the
world would be benefitted if there wore
adequate knowledge of the causes cf dis
ease and adequate means for the preven
tion of them as well as the training of
the young in such manner of life as to
make It certain that health would be es
tablished and malntanied. This lfttest
gift of Mr. Rockefeller although one of the
smallest In the amount of monev which
the gift represents, brings the total of
the distribution of the vast wealth which
he gained up to somewhat In excess of
$500,000,000. There are intimations tnat
other beneractions win jn out i"
made by him.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 27. On the stock
exchange a week which had brought
about the first substantial recovery
from the mid-summer weakness and
depression ended with an uncertain
market. Declines and advances
fairly balanced one another, and in
each direction the changes were in
numerous instances a point or more.
The market's action seemed to
confirm Wall street's belief that the
preceding recovery represented re
treat of the speculators for the fall,
rather than new buying, and that so
far as the general public was con
cerned the whole recent movement
of prices has meant little more than
that this public, in its present mood,
is disposed neither to sell nor to buv.
That is a familiar enough attitude
for this time of year, but it is also a
perfectly natural expression of feel
ing in respect to a situation in which
the real trend of things has not yet
defined itself.

market. It is doubtful If it would have
affected it in any case. The position of
the company has been fully known to the
general public during recent months and
continuance or the. existing status nas
more than once depended, as the com
pany's president states that It now de-
ponds, on extension of existing loans.
With the European marketa doing prac
tically no business, foreign exchange was
quiet. Sterling yielded a fraction and
marks declined again, both movements
doubtless resulting from small speculative
aales in the New York market.
The new week may be in teresting in
European exchange from the fact that
the final nayment on the 1.000.000.000
mark reparatlona Installment will have
been publicly made by Wednesday.
But recent events have .shown that ex
change rates are no longer solely dom
inated, as they were a few weeka ago,
by the shifting of credits Jn the German
operation. The week-end summaries ot
the gold Import movement Indicate that
something like $20,000,000 In all had ar
rived last week.
Loan Again Bedoced.
A further decrease of $27,000,000 In the
loan and investment account of the New
York associated banks, reported In today a
statement, brought the total reduction for
the month to $108,000,000. Todays total
figure showed a decrease alnce July 1 of
$219,000,000. It was smaller by $1,082,000,
000 than at the high point of loan expan
sion on October 11, 1919. and la $438,000,-
ono lesa than in the armistice week of
1918
The course of the loan account this
coming autumn will probably reflect the
revival In general trade.

Omaha Produce
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Trtnune-Omnha Ilea Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27. Depressing
news from the northwest and
strengthening factors from the east
dominated the action of the grain
markets. Trices declined early, only
to advance in the last hour, when
early sellers became active buyers
and made a fairly strong close, with
net gains of J4l?4c on wheat,
while corn was unchanged to J4c
lower, oats M?bC higher and rye
'Aic better than Friday's finish.
In the face of bearish conditions
and opinions among the general run
of traders, the export buying of
wheat and corn proved sufficient to
carry prices higher. At the last
wheat was 6'j7jC, corn
2Kc, oats l.V2c, rye Ij42j4c and
barley 2c higher. Provisions fin
ished with pork 10c higher, while
gains on lard were 4267c and
short ribs 22JjC higher than a week
ago.
Wheat traders took the increased
arrivats at Winnipeg ' and in the
northwest as the forerunner of the
large movement that has been ex
pe'eted. They were also encouraged
to sell on a report from Minneapo
lis that one of the largest millers
had withdrawn from the cash market
and that the edge was off the de
mand for flour. Selling that devel
oped among the northwestern,
southwestern and local element cre
ated a bearish feeling for a time and
prices dropped lc.
Export Sale Large.
Seaboard exporters and foreigners are
taking advantage of all the weak spots to
buy both cash and futures and absorbed
the offerings.
This resulted In a scramble among the
early sellers to cover and made the high
est prices at the last. The upturn was
assisted by heavy buying for December
and May by houses who, usually trade for
a large eastern operator and prices
moved up 23c and closed at nearly the
top, with September $1.211.21; De
cember $1.22 1.23, and May $1.26.
The week's movement here of 2,679,000
bushels was 94,000 less than the previous
week and 815,000 bushels more than last
year. Shipments of 3,880,000 bushels sug
gest another decrease in stocks, as there
has been accumulation on track during
the week.
September Corn Strong.
September corn showed the most
strength and finished at 64 c, or within
a fraction of the day's top, while other
months were easier and practically the
same as Friday. Houses with eastern
connections took September and there was
less selling pressure from hedgers. Coun
try offerings were liberal and over 600,
000 bushels were bought to arrive at 1
1C over September. Shipments were 3,
260.000 bushels, indicating a gain In
stocka for the week. Damage to the
crop In Nebraska is claimed from the
temperatures of 106 to 108 the last few
days, with no rains.
The largest trading In oats was at the
close, when local operators took hold free
ly and bid prices up to the best of the
day, with September 34 35c and De
cember 3838c. A fair trade was on
in changing from September to Decem
ber at 3c difference. Receipts have
decreased sharply and were little above
the week's shipments.
Exporters took 600.000 bushels rye at
the seaboard and 200,000 bushel here.
Buying of September and selling of De
cember at lc difference was a fea
ture. There was also buying of rye and
selling of wheat.
Pit Notes.
There Is a mixed sentiment In wheat.
With any encouragement In the way of
outside buying, it would not be difficult
to advance prices, as the strong statisti
cal position is expected to be the main
factor. There was a new class of buying
in the market that has not been visible of
late, one house buying 500,000 bushels ot
December wheat and the big eastern trad
ers were apparently on the long side.
It was noticeable that a large number
of the big local professionals who were
against the market early, evened up at
the last. The country is selling a fair
quantity of wheat and a great deal of
corn, with indications of a big movement
of the latter, the last week's receipts
being the heaviest at this time in over
five years.
The run of oats, which was at record
level two weeks ago, has dropped to the
smallest in five years.
Packers are reporting a large business
in lard and meats, especially in lard, as
export buying in the last three weeks is
estimated at around 60,000,000 pounds.
"Primary receipts of wheat so far this
season have been 127.000 bushels and
gulf ports have received 30.000.000 bush
els more," said P. S. Goodman, the
Clement Curtis aV Co. statistician. "In
terior mills have been heavy buyers. I
estimate that 60 per cent of the winter
wheat, above seed requirements, has left
the farms."
A friendly feeling toward the oats mar
ket at the present livel is expressed by
E. W. Wagner A Co., in a statistical
circular on oats and barley. "The low
average of oats prices in August is Eu
rope's opportunity to grasp 60.000.000
bushels feed on the bargain counter,"
aaid E. W. Wagner. "At 35c Chicago
basis, oats are flat with the economic
deadline."
The Corn Products company is grinding
65,000 bushels at Argo and 25.000 bushels
corn at Pekln, 111., a total of 90,000
bushels, which is well toward its capacity.
tiansas t;iiy trader sent an order
hnre to nell 60.000 bushels wheat and
added: "How ran you bull wheat when
the couple cannot pay their grocery bills?"
After the order waa filled wheat prices
went Up 2c.
Houses with northwestern connections
are selling wheat and rye here while the
eastern cash handlers ar picking up Sep
tember wheat and corn. They have been
good buyers of wheat and corn all week.
News regarding Russian crops are as
conflicting as ever and even the reports
of the relief committee are at variance
with those of other authorities.
