As much as 8 1-4 cents a bushel was clipped today from the value of the 1921 crop of corn. The principal future deliveries December and May representing the bulk of the new corn still awaiting maturity which has been abnormally delayed this season by persistent fold and rain, were given a respective maximum set hack of six and a quarter rents as comfWed with 24 hours before. On the other hand, a much larger production of corn appeared likely than has been expected recently. With higher temperatures and bright skies chasing away fear of frost, it quickly became apparent that demand for corn had lost Its recent urgency and sellers were in big majority.

17. The beginning of Florida's 1024-25 citrus shipping season is featured by the most concerted effort ever made to prevent the marketing of green or immature oranges and grapefruit. Activities ot federal and state governments In enforcing state-w ide observance of their fruit maturity laws will be practically doubled. The regular state force of four citrus Inspectors lias been supplemented by the assignment of the four state food and drug Inspectors to early season inspection service. The federal government, it Is reported, will have three special men in Florida throughout the season, to stop green fruit shipments.

A rlan has been perfected whereby these state and federal inspectors will work In unison, and in such manner that they can cover the entire state at almost one-time. This arrangement will permit them to keep a closer check on the movement of early season fruit than has here, tofore been possible, nnd is expected to result in a material curtailment of the Illegitimate and damaging green fruit practice. That the shipping Interests of the state likewise appreciate the great harm caused by immature fruit being sent to market Ih evidenced by the action of the Florida Citrus Exchange, the cooperative organization of the growers which is handling more than 60 per cent of the crop, tn employing federal inspection for Its shipments. This service is being jointly paid for by the Exchange and the Florida railroads. It Is furnished by the bureau of markets of the United States department of agriculture.

Every shipment made by the Florida Citrus Exchange during the entire season, under its fiealdsweet brand, will be Inspected at the packing house by the government men, and guaranteed by the cooperative association to be up to federal standards. SUPREME COURT WILL DECIDE VET BUREAU CASE Washington, Sept. 17. The supreme court has been asked to decide how far the director of the U. H.

Veterans Bureau can go in prohibiting what shall constitute disability and when total disability shall be deemed permanent In the matter of functions for former service men. Declaring that his case presented the first controversy relating to rights of claimants to benefits under the war risk Insurance act to reach the fedtrul courts, DeWItt T. Law. who had his left arm and a part of his leg Hhot away In the war has petitioned the court to review the decision of the ninth circuit court of ptsals which he Insisted vitiated the terms of the contracts under which former service men had taken out war risk Insurance. He nsserted that lu his mind and in numerous other cases the bureau had disregarded the terms under which those carrying war risk insurance were entitled to total disability rating and had Imposed new conditions.

The lower federal courts were In error, ho contended In holding that ths terms of Insurance policies could changed by regulations Issued by the director flf the veteran's bureau after the policies had taken effuct. i i 1 Tampa.

After outlining his conception of the difference In the tnxatlon doctrines of the democratic nnd republican parties, Mr. Puvls launched Into a scathing denunein- (Continued on Page I) Fordnev-McCumber Hon of the tariff law.

He declared that because of shifting economic conditions then existing "it was not a time for the preparation of a tariff measure based upon any principle except that of greed." Reviewing these economic condi tions. Mr. Pavis declared that never i lu all the history of Amerlrn was i there less reason to erect a Chinese wall around her borders and cut off productive commerce with tho outside world." Does Not Protect. Pointing out thai the republican press had condemned the measure "as even more out of line with the times than the Pnyne. Aldrich bill v.as In 1909," the speaker said that a bill of this sort does not protect, but "merely exploits Fvery consumer In America can from his own dally experience bear In Ihls fact" he ssid Asserting that the measure Iinrt reslricted the market nhrond for American agriculture and American industries which must export If they are to prosper Ihe democratic nominee said the wus "economic mnd-ness and political destruction." "Mr.

Coolidge nnd his party pledge themselves to maintain Ihe existing law." he went on. "As against this legislative monstrosity and In substitution for It. the democratic party proposes to form the tariff by revising downward the existing duties to a truly competitive liasis and by eliminating all favoritism and the evils that flow from No Resentment. "We do not propose any ruthless and vindictive slashing of rates to gratify political animosities or class untagonism. We are, fully uwure that the tutting of duties is an operation requiring care to avoid Jeopardizing the stability and sense of security that ure essential to the transaction of business.

"We have no resentment, but only friendliness toward legitimate business fairly conducted; but we do Intend to withdraw the Invitation extended in the form of exorbitant rates of duty to profit through monopolistic control of production, markets and price. We propose to prrmit a competition effective enough to stimulate enterprise; to prevent monopoly and to discourage obsolete or impractical processes and equipment or bad management, Indolence, waste and neglect." Welcomes Comparison. Turning to Internal tax reduction, Mr. Pavis compared the tax bill enacted by congress through a coalition of democrats and Insurgents and the Mellon plan for which It was substituted and announced that "the democrats challenge comparison of these two measures." 'It Is unlikely that the challenge will be accepted," he added. In view of the fact that the republican national convention at Cleveland did not dare mention the Mellon plan In Its recital of republican achieve ments or to advocate Its substitution for the law now In force." Mr.

Davis told his audience that the democratic party welcomed the "closest comparison of party records on the question of taxation, econom ic and tax The nominee expressed the belief few democratic votes would be lost to the Independent ticket headed by Senator LaFollette.
