BY PRODUCING ALCOHOL
Secretary Wilson Urges Relief of
Denaturized Alcohol From Tax
That Farmers May Produce
Own Heat and Light.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 25. The House committee on
ways and means Is giving a series of hear
ings on a bill or vital importance to the
farming communities in all parts of the
United States the bill to remove the In
ternal revenue tax from denaturized al
cohol; that is, alcohol that is so changed
as to be unfit for use as a beverage.
The bill is of interest to the farmers for
various reasons. Primarily this kind of
alcohol can be manufactured very cheap
ly from the waste and surplus products of
the farm, grains or potatoes that spoil
before Undlng a market, potatoes and
other crops that do not mature sufficient
ly to find a market; een cornstalks can
be distilled to advantage into denatur
ized alcohol.
This alcohol can be manufactured lor a
nominal cost, and, if the internal revenue
tax is removed, can be utilized for fuel
as a cheap and effective substitute for
gasoline, coal or kerosene. But unless
the tax Is removed it cannot become a
competitor for the now standard fuels.
One ticauty about denaturized alcohol,
aside from the cheapnes of production, Is
the fact that it can be manufactured on
every farm, and the farmer not only saves
the -cost of transportation on other fuels,
but Is able to make his own fuel even
more cheaply than the oil trust or the
coal trust, who now hold him in their
grasp. Its unrestricted manufacture will
enable the farmer to utilize his waste
products that are now a dead loss.
Each Farm May Produce Own Fuel.
Secretary Wilson, head of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has done more for
the American farmer than any of his
predecessors: nc has aided him to Improve
his crops: he has found new crops not
previously known In this country, and
now he is strongly advocating the re
moval of the tax on denaturized alcohol
in order that the farmer may materially
increase hie profits by utilizing his waste
products and saving the cost of fuel. In
a hearing before the committee, Sir. Wil
son strongly advocated the passage of the
pending bill. He said in opening his ar-.
gument:
The question of heating and lighting on the
farm Is becoming quite Insistent. In the
prairie countries there Is some coal, but the
jradlly obtained supply will become exhausted
before a. very remote date. Hard coal taken
out to the prairies Is expensive at all times
and very expensive quite often: besides which
it Is 'becoming more and more expensive as
time goeo on. so that we must begin looking
about for other sources of heating and light
ing. The starch and sugar plants are the source
of alcohol. In Europe the chief sources of
alcohol have been the potato and the sugar
"beet by distillation, either directly or from
their by-products. Other sources of alcohol
which may be advantageously utilized In the
"United States arc the white potato of the
North, the eweet potato, the yam, the cassava
plant, waste molasses from the sugar cane,
waste molasses from the sugar beet and the
waste product from the stalk of the Indian
corn at the time of the hardening of the
grain, li? tnU list" may be Included all plants
that yield heavily of 6tarcli or sugar. The
term alcohol as I use It does not apply to
any alcoholic beverage, but to pure or de
naturized alcohol In a form suitable for tech
nical use and no mixed with other Ingredi
ents that it cannot be used as a beverage.
Heat and Light From Potatoes.
The Secretary went on' to show that
an acre of corn would produce ISO to
140 gallons of alcohol. An acre of po
tatoes, under normal conditions, would
produce 2C5 gallons. But the Secre
tary believes that the yield from pota
toes could be doubled under proper
management. The aim of the farmer
today Is to grow potatoes for the mar
ket, and the effort IS made to get pota
toes of the best quality and the best
size. In Europe, where potatoes are
grown for cattle food, different vari
eties are used, which produce a heavier
yield per acre, though the potatoes are
of inferior grade. He says that, if the
farmers of this country should devote
a part of their land to the raising of
those potatoes which would give tho
greatest yield per acre, they could
readily manufacture 500 gallons of al
cohol to the acre of such crops. He
added:
Potatoes, moreover, are a commercial crop
only when within a certain distance of mar
ket At the average price at which the po
tato sells, it can be hauled. 'only a short dis
tance, but when looking to It as a source of
heat and light, factories would be erected in
the country neighborhoods and the potato
would then be grown for its largest possible
yield of alcohol.
Looking At this subject from the agricultural
standpoint, we find that the Northern States
could readily depend upon the white potato
as a eource of heat and light, the Southern
States upon the yam and sweet potato and the
Western States upon the sugar beet. The ex
tensive Irrigation, projects now being carried
on by the United States Government will re
sult in watering land that will produce sugar
beets more profitably, perhaps, than any other
Top. The molasses can readily be turned Into
alcohol.
The Secretary made the astonishing
statement that cornstalks properly
treated would yield 170 gallons of al
cohol to the acre. With approximately
100,000.000 acres of land planted in
corn every year, some idea Is gained
of the immense profits that are now
allowed; to go to waste, in concluding
his argument Mr. Wilson said:
Look to Farm for Fuel Supply.
Our coal mines are definite quantities and
are being Vapidly used up. Our forests are
disappearing and many of them have dlnap
pcarcd. In the future It may be some time In
the future the time will certainly come when
the world will have to look to agriculture for
the production of its fuel, Its light and Its
motive power. It seems to me that throucn
the medium of alcohol agriculture can furnish
in the mort convenient form for the use of
man this absolutely necessary source of sup
ply. I believe, therefore, that the utilisation,
of alcohol in the arts and industries; under
such restrictions as would safeguard .the local
rights of the United States Government, would
prove not nly a great stimulus to -manufacturer,
but a great benefit to alcohol.
Farmers qf the West, particularly
those of the arid regions, have already
shown much interest In this de
naturized alcohol bill, and Represen
tatives frm those states are pushing
the pending legislation, its pstssage
would mean a great saving to every
farmer who Is remote from coal mines;
it would mean Increased profits on his
yearly crops, and "in the end .it may
solve the problem of cheap power for
pumping water onto the higher arid
lands which can never be reclaimed fc-y
lrSat!on systems. The pos
sibilities that lie hehlnd this bill are
not realized, even by the men most In
terested in its passage. v

REPLIES TO CRITICISMS.
Believes That Some BhsIhcss Details

SYRACUSE. N. Y.. Feb. 25. Francis
Hendricks. State Superintendent of In
surance, tonight Issued a statement re
lating; to the recent report of the Arm
strong committee of the Legislature, with
special reference to that portion of the
report which criticises the administration
of the insurance department. He says:
"A careful examination of the statute
creating and regulating this department
will, I believe make It quite clear that
it was not Intended to be an overseer
or administrator of the daily business
management of the companies.
"I doubt If It would be wise to vest
any state official with the power and re
sponsibility of overseeing and adminis
tering all of the details of the business
management of Insurance companies, as
In certain quarters It is now being
claimed he shduld do. Some of the
recommendations of the Armstrong com
mittee and many suggestions being made
cow elsewhere, if carried out. would make
him In effect a managing director of all
the Insurance companies In the state.
"In the first place I do not believe that
this would be a wise policy. But In the
second place, if it is deemed to be wise.
It must be assumed that there must be
an entire reorganization of the insurance
department, giving the Superintendent
Increased power and on adequate sup
ply of force and money to do this. I am
sure that it would require an appropri
ation of from $300,000 to $CO.0CO a year for
a department to do the things' which it
is now said should have been done by my
administration, upon an appropriation
which for several years has averaged only
$W.0i per year.
"Notwithstanding all that has been
said, it still seems to me that the ad
ministration of those details of business
which Involve ordinary business hon
esty and competency must be left to
those directly Intrusted with the man
agement of Insurance companies, rather
than to a state department."
