CONFUSION REIGNS
IN NATION, SAY VETS
Association Opposed to Prohi-
bitiOn Issues Statement
on Situation.

Confusion and Inconsistencies in the
liquor situation in various States are
seen as result OF failure on the part
of the respective Legislatures to pass
legislation providing for the enforcement
OF the Federal prohibition amendment,
according to a statement issued yester-
day by the Association Opposed 10 Ma
tional Prohibition, 10 West Forty-fourth
street
Confusion prevails throughout the
country" says the statement THE ad-
journment OF the New York Legislature
without passing a bill to provide ma
chinery for enforcing Federal prohibi-
ton was not without a precedent. Con-
gress did the same thing Hasty In
foist!ng these probationary laws upon
the States, the lawmakers appear to be
staggered by the task OF enforcing them"
The programme for the enforcement
OF prohibition in Ohio Is incomplete with
little hope OF effective legislation before
adjournment, according TO the anti-pro-
hibitionists. A similar situation, the
statement says. prevails in Pennsylvania,
where there is disposition to await pos
sible further action by Congress or by
the President In resembling the war time
prohibition measure. which otherwise be-
comes effective July 1. The same is true
concerning Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut, while the Senate OF Rhode Island
has passed a measure providing that bev-
erages containing per cent or less of
alcohol shall be deemed Notwithstanding.
Movements to have the question sub
mitted to a referendum are under way
in several States, including Wyoming.
Washington and Oregon, while in New
Hampshire efforts 10 make the enforce
ment laws more rigid resulted in the
elimination OF the search and seizure
provision of the proposed law.

taxes, except estate and Inheritance
taxes.
The value of this exemption to
any holder is measured by the rate
of taxation which he pays. In the
case of some individuals the 3A%o
tax-free income is equivalent to a
rate of about 1870 from taxable
bonds.
Corporations and individuals to
whom the question of taxation is a

analysis of all the features of the

lem Of taxation. The Committees
Tax Bureau may also be consulted

Redemption-Victory Notes will
be paid off by the Government on
May 20, 1923. At that date you will
get back, dollar for dollar, the
money you lend the Government
now. The Government may, at it's
option, pay off the notes at par and
interest on June Is or December Is,
1922; that is, when they have run
three years or longer.
Terms of Payment-The Gov
eminent terms of payment are 1919
with application; 1919 July Is; 2O9o
August IL; 209o September 9; 209o
October 7, and 209o November II.
Or in full on application for any

Many banks will sell $50 Victory
Notes for So down and 81 week,
and many employers will do the
same for their employees.
Most banks will loan money to
buy Victory Notes for at least 80
days, with one renewal, at rate of
interest not exceeding that paid by
the Government (4AT). Such loans
will not interfere with any borrow
ers regular line of credit.

What Chance to Own q Farm?

"What chance has young man
with land $500 an acre to ever own
a farm?'
That question was asked in equal
seriousness when land was SIS an
acre. 1t was a problem quite as seri-
Gus then as it is now.
A Carroll county farmer-and
Carroll county is one Of the leading
farm counties in this state of high
class farms and high land prices
says that the opportunity of a young
man to start farming and succeed is
better now than when the land was
man can do more and better work
now with machinery and mechanical
convaniences than two men used to
be able to accomplish and argues
that with present prices for produce
it is easier to pay for an acre of
land than when corn was at a low
ebb and all farm produce was cheap.
There's something in it. The OBJ
servation of those who lived when
land was $50 an acre will support
the Carroll mans contention. The
records of mortgages than ran with
little except interest paid for decade
upon decade supports him. Interest
rates were highI and prices low. Inc
young farmer Of those days laid out
a job when he bought farm on
small payment.
True enough the small payment
down, and the long mortgage time
permitted many young men to begin
owning a farm without much more
than the first payment and a span
of horses and stirring pillow but
the records show how the payments
dragged and the stories the old folks
tell Of how they lived and what they
went without shock modern young
people. OF course they made money
on the rise Of the land-but they
didnt t., make Ak that money until they
When the land went up to $50 an
acre the same thing was. said
hell never be able to pay for it."
But the shreWd farmer and thrifty
person with good and thrifty wife
did pay for it. bought the adjoining
quarter at SIS and the one on the
north at 500 and became a direc-
tor in the bank, ran for the legisla-
ture and SO on and so forth. Prices
went up this or that year, he hit it
on the cattle he held for the June
market. this and that circumstance
brought him the money for payments
and he paid it off. He couldn't show
you set of books but he can show
the deeds to the land.
And now with prices high and no
prospect that prices of hogs, cattle
and corn will ever again be low,
with modern machinery that double
and trebles the effectiveness of the
farmer who works, with the scienti-
fic training that every young farm
err should have to assure success
why can't he buy a $500 an acre
farm with the same confidence that
his grandfather bought at $50 and
his father perhaps at 500? They
said the same then as now-"How
can a young man ever hope to own
a farm But the young man bought
it just the same and the middle aged
men had it paid for and was waiting
for old Jones to die and his estate
administered in order to buy the
eighty that concerned. Il
Chances are that things will go on
the same way whether land is $50
or $500 an acre.-Marshalltow
