URGES BUYING
OF REAL ESTATE

That now is the logical time to buy
real estate because money is plentiful
and wages are high, was the opinion
expressed by J. w. Fieldhouse of Elk
hart. president Of the Indiana Real
Estate board, before the members OF
the Richmond association at the Ar
lington hotel Friday.
Long after the war, money will be
plentiful and wages high" Fieldhouse
SAID III necessary people can afford
to go into debt to buy real estate be
cause realty is due to rise in price
Anything well bought is half sold
Real estate is the last thing to 60
down and the last thing to go up
Wages and prices have gone up by
leaps and bounds, and the logical de.
duction is that real estate will soon
make corresponding advance"
F1eldhouse, in company with G. B.
Durham Of Indianapolis. has been Wis.
tting all parts Of the state to become
acquainted with realty conditions in
general. Because of the high cost of
labor, building at the present time
these men say, Is at practically a
standstill, but vacant lots suitable for
home building are selling well and at
reasonable prices.
Eieldhouse predicted that the Ameri
can soldiers, when they return from
Eurpne, will be anxious to get back

will Undoubtedly cause raise in the
prices, he said
He contrasted the present condi

close of the Civil War Prices of re-
atty mounted high after the war was
over, and just such an advance can be
looked for at the close of the present
war, according to Fieldhouse.
The Richmond Real Estate associa
ton will not, at the present time, join
the state association, but later on this
move will probably be made in the
opinion Of real estate men here.

U. S. TAX IN 1919
EIGHT BILLIONS
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. June with the
recommendation of Secretary McAdoo
that the new war revenue bill be
drawn to raise one-third of the ma
tons expenses for next year. or S.
000, 900, 900 before it, the house ways
and means committe formally took up
the drafting of the tax raising meas
ure today b ythe Inauguration OF Sc
ries of hearings. BENJAMIN c. Marsh,
representing an organization favoring
increases in income and excess profit
taxes, was expected to be the first
witness before the committee.
Framing OF bill which vii double
the revenues derived from the exist
ing schedule was the task before the
committee. Such bill would leave
approximately $4,000, 100000 to be
raised in the fiscal year OF 1919
through loans. The committee hay-
ing the outline submitted by Secre-
tary McAdoo in a letter to Chairman
Kitchin, made public last night, as q
guide, is expected to make rapid pro-
gress in the drawing up Of the new
bill.
Super-imposing upon existing cash
profits taxes of new war profits tax
raising OF the normal income tax on
unearned ircomes, and heavy taxation
of Iuxuries, were recommended by the
head of the treasury department in
his letter. Explaining that the pres
ent excess profits taxes does not al
ways reach war profits. Secretary
McAdoo asked the committee to con-
slider a tax to be super-imposed upon
the existing tax in such a way that
the tax payer should be required to
pay the greater of the two taxes.
The new income tax in its increases,
the secretary recommended, should
follow the lines Of a large increase up
on so-called unearned incomes. In
comes above certain exceptions should
be taxed eight per cent. earned in
comes twelve per cent. and for I'M
earned incomes a higher rate than
twelve per cent. should be imposed.
The classification Of luxuries, upon
which it is proposed there shall be
a heavy tax, was left to the committee
by Secretary McAdoo.

DISCUSSED
BY COUNTY AGENTS

J. G.. Kline, Wayne county agricul-
ture agent, went to Connersville Fri
day to attend a district meeting of
county agents where plans for the
wheat and harvesting season were dis
cussed. Agents were present from
the counties Of Wayne, Blackford, RAN
dolph, Jay, Madison, Delaware, Henry.
Fayette, Union and Franklin. The
meeting was held in the Connersville
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
The business primarily discussed
was the saving of every bit Of wheat
this year, and an effective means for
locating, saving and rightly distribut-
ing the choicest Of seed from the dis
trict's whole crop, for sowing this fall.
A letter has been addressed to Con-
gresham Elliott by A. T. Morrison.
Fayette county agent, asking that he
try to have congress make some ar
rangement by which the farmer who
holds his wheat for time after
threshing shall be fairly compensated
for doing so. No reply has as yet
been received to the letter but 1t Is
believed that Mr.. Elliott will look upon
the matter with favor.
The reason this request is made
IS because the elevators Will
hardly be able to handle more than
one-fifth of the total wheat crop at one
time. Indiana faces the greatest
wheat crop the state has ever known.
in the opinion of farmers. elevator
men and county agents throughout
the state With the price of wheat
fixed by the government the farmer
will have no Incentive for storing it in
his own bins, and will therefore wish
to get it to market as soon as possible
after thrashing Before more than 20
per cent OF the wheat is taken care
of the elevators will be full to capacity
and some of the farmers will have to
store their wheat until such time as
the elevators can handle it. This will
mean additional handling and expense,
and there is bound to be some waste
in storing. There is also some risk to
run, and the county agents at the
meeting expressed the belief that con-
gress should do something to compen-
safe the farmers who will be COM
PEELED to store their wheat.
Plans were also discussed at the
Connersville meeting to secure ample
help for the farmers this year in harv-
esting and thrashing their crops.
