ARE PAYING Up
LOANS SPEEDILY.
Many Economies, Including
Cheap Labor, Arc Going Far
To Aid Situation.

KANSAS CITY, June 25.-Frugaiity
In the harvesting Of the winter wheat
crop is bringing agreeable surprises
to bankers OF the Southwest.
Although the harvest has extended
into Kansas. 1t has thus far been
marked by decrease In loans OF
banks compared with rapid increase
at this time year ago.
Reduced labor costs and the en-
ployment OF fewer outside hands. to-
gether with economies In other d.
Irections, account In large measure
for the continuation of liquidation At
this season
OF course. the generous sale OF old
crop wheat in recent weeks Is also a
vital factor
With railroads possessing an abund-
ant supply OF equipment for moving
the crop, 1t 10 expected that new
wheat Will begin 10 bring funds into
banks with more siacrity than usual.
and that by the end OF July more ex-
tensive liquidation than has been witt
messed In months will set in among
banks OF. the Southwest.
The unanimity of reports to Kansas
City banks as to the determination
of country bankers TO use their infiu-
ence for early selling Of wheat and
the mood OF farmers favoring such
a policy mean only one thing--rapid
liquidation of loans.
In The event OF radical break In
wheat prices. the movement may be
halted and liquidation interrupted.
However. some grain dealers estimate
that, irrespective of price conditions.
as much as 10000 10 $4,000 carloads
Of wheat may be received in Kansas
City during the month OF July, to say
nothing OF the direct movement from
Kansas and Oklahoma to the Gulf
ports on export contracts.
: A reflection OF the easerness OF
country banks to see. wheat sold
quickly Ia the receipt by Kansas City
banks from Oklahoma Of requests to
use their influence TO obtain more
cars for moving the grain.
1t seems that where the movement
: started in Oklahoma railroads
are not furnishing as many cars as
desired In scattered towns. and this
Is resulting In appeals TO local banks.
Heads of Kansas City banking In
stitutions, who, as a rule, desire to
make further reductions In their bor-
rowings at the Federal Reserve Bank.

mination on the part of rural districts

Some OF the show places of the
continent are putting on a smiling
front; but beneath the surNuce there
and elsewhere conditions ars far
from happy
Living conditions have become SO
distressing. for example. in Rome,
Milan, Naples and other Italian cit
les. that the Fascisti--the military
party which has recently sprung into
great power--wsrned all shopkeep-
ers that the necessaries of life must
be sharply reduced by today, and
they are taking aggressive measures
to see that no merchant charges
more than what has been decreed to
be fair price.
The Swiss authorities have also
been moved TO get after butchers and
others to lower retail prices to lew
els within reach OF consumers.
In Germany the people are work.
ing with greater energy than before
the war, and have departed far from
the eight-hour day.
Generally speaking, commodities
throughout Europe cost so much at
the present value OF the currencies
tnat the working people, and even
moderately well TO do families, are
unable to live In anything like the
comfort enjoyed by the vast ma
jority OF working class people In the

True, there is large number OF
people unemployed In this country at
present, hundreds OF thousands of
savers have had their incomes cut
through the stopping or passing OF
dividends: the vast number of cor
porstions, companies. and firms in all
lines OF business have sustained
heavy losses - particularly paper
losses: our enormous agricultural
population have been experiencing a
lean year financially; wages. at least
as measured by dollars, have been
falling: taxes continue burdensome:
security markets have been collapsing.
and so forth and so on.
Yet the fact remains that the
amount OF actual hunger and cold
and want In this country is infnitesi-
NAL as compared with European coun-
tries.
The standard OF living here is so
high that we often forget how well
OF we really are.

WOMEN PROTEST
TAX ON MUSIC

Delaware club women are lining
up against the proposed legislation
bv Congress putting an additional
tax on musical instruments. The
Wilmington Section, Council OF
Jewish Women. already has gone
on record against such legislation.
In addition. the presidents of all the
federated wom6n's clubs in Delaware
have received identical letters from
Mrs. Marx f. Oberndorfer. national
chairman of music of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs. ask
ing them to protest to their repre-
sentatives in Congress against such
a tax upon music in America
Commenting upon the matter,
Mrs. Oberndorfer says;
IT a reliable report OF activities
now under way discloses anything
at all, It predicts that our repre-
sentatives will be buried under a
veritable deluge Of mail at the open-
ing session OF Congress on Septem-
Der 21, when nearly five million let
ters. vigorously protesting against a
proposed discriminatory tax on all
musical instruments. will have been
received by the various congression-
al delegates
"These letters. penned individually
by the five million members of tha
National Federation OF Womep1S
Clubs and its allied organizations
and couched in the particular stvlA
Of each writer. will contend that tn.
levying Of such a tax on musical in
struments would place music IN tt>.
luxury class and. in so doing, wounl
create a serious menace to the de-
velopment and prosperity OF music
in America, which projects today as
the greatest musical nation on the
face OF the earth
THE National Federation OF wo-
mems Clubs is probably the most
powerful and influential organiza--
tion Of women in the United States.
It's members, aroused by the news
that Congress would even deign to
consider such an obviously destruc-
tive measure, are keeping vigilant
eyes on Washington as precaution."
