u. S. Dollar is Discounted
in Argentine; Need Export
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Reports Of
American merchandise to Argentine
must continue to increase in order to
keep the Argentine exchange close to
parity or the United States will be
obliged to draw further on the gold
reserve to liquidate adverse balances,
Secretary Of Commerce Alexander de-
clared today in formal statement.
Despite shipments of gold from the
United States to Argentina amounting
to more than $30,0OO,00O between July
u, 1919 and Dec. 10, Secretary Alex
ander said that the dollar was at a
discount of about one and a half per-
cent in Buenos Ayers. The English
pound, he added, had an exchange
value there Of about 81 percent below
parity.
The exchange situation with Argen-
tina has greatly improved since the
|, beginning of 1919 when the dollar was
ct discount of six percent the state
ment said. This was due the secre-
tary pointed out, to the heavy ship
ments of gold in the past seven
months and to the big improvement
in exports of commodities to Argen-
tina. The trade balances against the
United States amounted to only about
$3S.000,O00 in the first II months of
1919 as compared with an adverse bal
ance Of about $125, 100000 in the same
period Of 1918.

TAXPAYERS WATCH
FIGHT ON BOARDS
HORIZONTAL RAISES

Taxpayers of Wayne, county are
watching with interest the case being
heard before the appellate court OF
Indiana, OF the horizontal tax increases
put into effect ONE time ago by the
state board of tax commissioners.
Arguments in the case were heard
Thursday and decision is expected
soon. Certain banks of Marion county
are making an effort to have the in
creases declared unconstitutional, and
a decision is. expected soon.
The case is being watched with in
terest by every county in the state be-
cause of the vital question involved in
the suit. II the higher court sustains
the Marion superior court, which held
that the increases were illegal, all the
horizontal increases in the state, ag-
gregating 77O.000,000. will be wiped
off the duplicate unless some action is
taken by a special session of the legis-
lature.
Should the higher court decide
against the tax board, it would vitality
effect every taxpayer in the county, as
well as all of the city, township and
corporation governments. 1t will de-
crease the revenue for every taxing
! unit. which was pared down to the
minimum by the tax board, and make
it necessary for every unit to borrow
money to pay this years bills.
The horizontal increases in Wayne
county raised the valuation several
million dollars, and the corresponding
decrease in revenue will be felt
severely. Rises in the valuation rar
up to 40 per cent in the county.
