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."

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

000.000 in revenue, should not be
made to produce more than $6,000,-
000,000.
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.
