Letter to the Editor PROFITEERING To the Editor of the Telegraph: Sir: Being in the neighborhood of your office on Saturday. I walked around to read your bulletins on the war and then to a nearby market where I asked the prices of potatoes. I was informed that the prices wcere 25 cents, quarter of a peck; 50 cents, half peck and $1 a peck. Thinking I was misinformed I called at sev eral other stores but got the same quotations. On Tuesday of last week I was in Baltimore and bought the same grade of potatoes for $4.75 a barrel, the being 38 cents. What do you think of this for con scienceless profiteering? I am ready to make affidavit to the above facts. As an old Civil War man I never thought I should see such extortion and robbery. We have a dlass of people here who mistake liberty for license. Send a reporter around and see for yourselves. I refer you to the Lancaster Trust Company, the caster Farmers' Trust Company of Lebanon or Alexander Brown & Sons, of Baltimore, as to my integ rity and you are at liberty to pub lish any part of this letter. LUTHER G. SHERMAN. Late 209 th Pa. Vol., Lancaster. A Telegraph represenative calling on Donald McCormick, Dauphin ' County Food Administrator, was re ferred to F. L._ Cook, who has super vision over retail affairs. Figuring up at $1 a peck, a barrel of potatoes would bring a total of about $lO. Subtracting from this the price paid by Mr. Sherman, in Baltimore, $4.75, and adding 38 cents freight, would leave a balance of net profit amount ing to $4.87. • "That." said Mr. Cook, "would certainly be profiteering; nearly 100 per cent. But the fact is that Bal :imore gets potatoes much cheaper than we do here, it being nearer the South whence we are having most of our new potatoes. The local output Is as yet small and by all tokens, owing to blight, It will be far from normal. "Now the facts are that in Har risburg this morning new potatoes are selling for eighteen cents a quar ter of a peck, and seventy-two cents a peck. This means $7.20 a barrel and as a barrel costs approximately $1 more here than in Baltimore I cannot see that this retail rate is ex tortionate. In serving small quan tities the customer generally asks that the measure be heaped up, and many heapings take from the con tents of a barrel. The potato market has been fluctuating in most peculiar manner. Before new potatoes came in the price per barrel was low as $3.50. When new potatoes arrived the price took an awful jump to $7.50 a barrel. At present we are still depending on potatoes grown fh the Carolinas and Virginias."

HXRWBBURG IASA* TEEEGfCfcPBI REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS THINK TAXESTOOHIGH Disposed to Insist New Bill Should Call For Six Bil lion Dollars Washington, July 23.—Prospects of higher taxation than war neces sities is revealed in the administra tion's financial program, compared with actual expenditures of the past fiscal year and the estimated expen ditures of the present year. The expenditures of the year which ended July 1, amounted to $13,500,000,000 in round figures. The total appropriations and au thorizations for the year aggregated in excess of $18,000,000,000. The appropriations and authoriza tions for the present year, according to a statement issued by Chairman Sherley. of the Houst appropriations committee yesterday, aggregate in the neighborhood of $30,000,000,000. It is declared by Mr. Sherley, how ever, that this does not mean that the actual expenditures will amount to nearly so much. It is now contended by Republi cans that it is physically impossible to spend more than $18,000,000,000 during the present war. They there fore insist the tax bill. whicWMs plan ned to make productive of $8,000,- "The Live Store" - SAlways Reliable" Doutrichs Palm Beach Week Brings comfort and relief for | the "hot oppressive days at prices JUBS? that you never expected "this season" lf you I want to enjoy every day during .the extremely warm j JM summer months come to DOUTRICHS and invest your j money where you are assured of "Big Savings" and a M choice selection Here every $12.00, $15.00, $16.50 and SIB.OO Palm Beach and Kool Cloth Suit in our entire stock 1 Palm Beach Week is the J|§|OcJli "third chapter" of events during jSMPwS I'll B'l July for Doutrichs lt's going to be a marked |j ! ; ||| Pi • success The first day's sales showed signs of apprecia- II !|||? mfj | tion by the men of Harrisburg whe knew this was a worth 1 yuf , while opportunity—Your going to find this sale "imitated" i ||||| *' Vt?

The administration is proceeding upon the sound principle of provid ing not less than one-third of all ex penditures from taxation. There is no opposition to this program, but there is serious doubt of the accu racy of the administration's esti mates of probable expenditures. The total estimate of $24,000,000,- 000 announced by the treasury, is re garded as most nearly representing the amount the country will be able to spend. More Money Than Needed Congress appropriated and au thorized expenditures for last year aggregating nearly one-third more than it was found possible to spend, notwithstanding that a great deal of money was wasted. The same pro portion of excess in the appropria tions and authorizations for the pres ent year, would bring the aggregate down to close to the estimate sub mitted by the Republicans. The figures show that the govern ment actually has received more money from Congress than it could spend. * This policy. It is recognized, must be continued until the war has been won. but the country is in the.very fortunate position of being able to furnish more money than is needed. It is contended, however, that the vast resources of the nation, which assure the government of all the money it can possibly use should not be taxed unnecessarily and that. If the government cannot spend more than $18,000,000,000 there is no economy in proceeding with a scheme of taxation based upon a contem plated expenditure of $24,000,000,- 000. The first real controversy over the j question of increasing war taxes has been started in connection with these varying estimates. While they have formulated no positive plans, the Re publicans are strongly disposed to insist that the new tux bill should not 'be framed to produce more than $6,000,000,000. The Democrats will be guided by what the administration wishes, but they agree that it would simplify their labors if the adminis tration would admit that it cannot spend as much fnoney as it is ask ing for.
