State a Loser.—A recent decision
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia In regard to priority Of Federal
inheritance taxes over the state di
rect " inheritance tax will cost the
commonwealth anywhere from three
quarters of a million to a million dol
lars annually in opinion of men con
nected with the fiscal department of
the state government. The decision
was handed down recently after ad
verse decisions against the state in
Philadelphia, Westmoreland and
Montgomery counties. The point at
issue was whether the Federal tax
was to be considered in the same
class as estate administration ex
penses and just debts. The courts
held that it was and should be de
ducted before the commonwealth
could make its claim on the value of
an estate.
Public Service.—The Public Serv

the transit lease in Philadelphia at
its executive session here on Tues
day, will have hearings during the

Pennsylvania who are connected wth
institutions under state supervision to
meet in Philadelphia on June 14 at
11 a. in. to form a state association
for the purpose of co-operation with
the federal au'horitiee during the

ganization be formed was made at
the Hot Springs convention of su
pervisors of state banks, and a na
tional organization will also be cre
ated. E. P. Passmore, governor of
the Philadelphia Reserve Bank, has

Pardon IK Kirat. A pardon issued
by the Governor of Pennsylvania on
recommendation of the State Board of
Pardons is paramount and "there is
no rule of law or reason which would
justify any authority in disregarding
the full legal effect of a pardon," says
Attorney General Brown in an opin
ion to George D. Thorn, secretary of
the State Board of Pardons, in re
sponse to an -inquiry as to the ef
fect of a pardon on the parole of a
persons convicted of a prior offense.
The inquiry attracted considerable at
tention as a person convicted and
having served the maximum period
of his indeterminate sentence was
paroled and while on parole commit
ted and was convicted of another
criminal offense. The board granted
a pardon for the second offense. Mr.
Brown, in an exhaustive review of
the case says that "a person convicted
while on parole of another offense and
for which he was subsequently par
doned. must be considered as still on
parole for the first, offense, and, un
less other circumstances appear. Is
entitled to his freedom on parole."

BILLION BUSHEL
WHEAT CROP IS
HOPE FOR 1918
Year's Spring Harvest May
Prove Second Largest in
History of Nation
Washington, June B.—A bumper
wheat crop this year, which before
harvest may develop into a produc
tion of a billion bushels, was forecast
yesterday by the Department of Agri
cultuit In its June crop report, giv
ing the first indication of the size of
this year's spring wheat output.
Basing its estimate on June 1 con
ditions, the department forecast a to
tal wheat production of 931,000,000
bushels, which would place this
year's harvest as the second largest
in the history of the country. Experts
of the government, aiming for a bil
lion-bushel crop to help in feeding
the armies and civilian population of
the allies, pointed to the development
of the record crop of 1915 to sub
stantiate their hopes for a crop -equal
to that.
In June of 1915 a total wheat pro
duction of 950,000,000 bushels was
forecast, and the quantity gradually
crept upward until the final figures
for the year showed the crop to be
•1,025,800,000.
Acreage Is larger
The acreage sown to spring wheat
this year is larger by 2,000,000 acres
then ever sown before and 21.5 per
cent, larger than last year's, aggre
gating 22,489,000 acres. The condi
tion of the crop on June 1 was 95.2
per cent, of a normal, or 1.5 per cent,
'better than the 10-year average. A
production, of 344,000,000 bushels
was forecast. That Is 111,000,000
bushels more than harvested last
year, and only about 7,000,000 bush
els less than the record spring wheat
harvest of 1015.
Winter wheat, growing on the sec
ond largest acreage ever planted,
showed a condition 3 per cent, better
than the 10-year average, with 83.8
per cent, of a normal. A production
of 587,000,000 bushels was forecast,
which is 15,000,000 bushels more
than forecast from conditions exist
ing May 1. Such a crop would be the
third in size grown in this country.
Production of oats was forecast at
1,500,000,000 bushels, the acreage
44.475,000, and the condition 93.2;
barley production, 235,000,000 bush
els, acreage 9,108,000, and condition
90.5; rye production, 81,000,000
"jushels, and condition 83.6.
Hay production, 107,000,000 tons,
condition 89.0; pastures condition,
92.5; apple production, 203,000,000
bushels, condition 69.8; peach pro
duction, 42,9000,000 bushels, condi
tion 52.0. i
Winter wheat condition and pro
duction forecasts by principal states:
Ohio, condition, 87, production 35,-
816,000 bushels; Indiana, 97 and
809,000; Illinois, 95 and 51,553,000;
Missouri 96 and 49,999,000; Nebras
ka, 70 and 43,049,000; Kansas, 78
and 97,114,000; Oklahoma, 74 and
32,267,000.

Predicts Increase in
Prices During War
Carllnle, Pa., June B.—Speaking at
the final luncheon meeting of tlie
Carlisle Chamber of Commerce, Gros- j
venor M. Jones, deputy head of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, advised optimism in the
business outlook. The United States
Is getting ready to reach out after
foreign trade, especially to South
America and the Orient, he said.
Speaking on the question of prices,
he predicted a gradual Increase as
long as the war lasts and a fall very
slowly after peuce is made, although
many factors enter into all of the
calculations. One of the big reasons
for prices, he said, was the lack of
ships to £o to the remote sections of
the world and bring supplies and
war material and, as the shipping
program offsets the submarine men
ace, good results are to be expected.
