WASHINGTON, June 20.-A land
value tax bill, along the lines of the
Nolan bill of the last session of con-
gress which was vigorously opposed
by many farmers of the sixth Indiana
congressional district, is now being
pressed for favorable consideration by
its author, Rep. Oscar Z. Keller of
Minnesota 1t is one of three tax re
vision measures the Minnesota con-
gressman has introduced.
The Keller bill provides a one per
cent tax on land values after deduct
ing all improvements and allowing an
exemption Of $4,000 on the land. All
tenant farmers would be exempt un-
der the provisions of the bill.
Following the Introduction of the
Nolan bill last year a deluge of pro-
tests against it were received in Wash
ingtOn from farmers in every county
in the sixth district. Over one thou
sand complaints were received from
Shelby county alone
Measure Pending.
Representative Keller claims. how

Farmers Federal Tax League OF
America and by the Committee OF
Manufacturers and Merchants on Fed

The ALAND ISLANDS
nv Associated Pressl

GENEVA, June 20-Sweden and
Finland debated questions relative to
the future status of the Aland Islands
before the council of the league of na-
tions here today. This was the first
open session of the council, public
meetings held in the past being for the
purpose of announcing decisions on
matters heard at executive assemblies
of the organization. Hjalmar Brant-
ing, former Spanish minister of fl
nance, has prepared a presentation Of
SWeden's claims to the islands and
the answer was TO be made by c. w
A. Bucknell former Finnish foreign
minister, and now the Finnish min
lister to France.
During the coming week, the Polish
Lithuanian dispute. the report of the
commission appointed to pass on pro-
posed amendments to the covenant
of the league, and conflicting claims
to territory along the frontier of AL
bania will be considered by the coun-
Gil. Belief is expressed that these
matters will be cleared up before Sal
urday.
BASED on Former Report
The debate on the Aland islands was
pdSeu on lne report OF the league OF
nations commission, which recon-
mended that the islands be given To
Finland. The members of this COM
mission were Judge Abram Elkus, for
mer United States ambassador 10 Tur-
key; NJ. Calonier, former president of
the Swiss confederation and Baron
Baeyens of Belgium. They decided
that there was no more reason for at
taching the islands to Sweden than
there was for giving to Sweden parts
of the Finish mainland where the
Swedes also predominant. 1t was adj
mitted the population of the islands
was Overwhelmingly Swedish, but il
was stated that the peoples interests
would be adequately protected, and
methods for insuring this protection
were detailed
1t was expected this morning that
the council would also consider the
suggestion Of repatriating Russian ref
ugees, either through the control of
4 central organization or otherwise.

WILL DEAL
DIRECT WITH UNIONS
UNDER new PROPOSAL

Elimination Of the general contrac-
tor and the establishment of a CO.
operative plan between prospective
builders and the Building Trades coun-
Gil is the idea to be presented to a
meeting Of the Trades Council Mon
day night, according to Ernest Gable,
business manager for the unions now
out on strike against the proposed
lowering of the scale of wages in Rich
mond.
The detailed plan probably will be
gone over by the carpenters, plaster
ers and plumbers at their meeting
Monday night After this, Mr.. Gable
states, a wait of two or three days will
be made in order to give the Master
Builders association time to consider
the proposition. In the event the Mas
ter Builders fail to put their men back
ar work the trades council will open
Offices with intention of contracting
for building business. ii is said.
Details of Plan.
The unions will furnish a foreman
and the necessary men to do the work,
the money for material being put up
by the prospective builder, according
to their plan. The men will work for
the regular scale of wages with a small
percentage added for the mainten-
ance of central Offices, they state.
Mr. Gable stated that this plan would
undoubtedly lower the cost of building
in Richmond.
Henry ]. Dietrich, head of the Master
Builders association, said that the plan
outlined by the unions would be a
good thing for them to try, when he
was informed of the general idea of
the plan.
Approves Plan.
THAT is a good thing for them to
DO" Mr.. Dietrich said They will
find out the numerous things that the
contractors have to contend with when
they get their plan started. 1t is a
good way for them to find out"
After a week of waiting neither side
in the building controversy is willing
! to give in to the other, leaders stated
Monday. The one effort at mediation
which was made last Thursday result.
ed in failure to reach an agreement.
Since that time both sides have been
| waiting for the other to make the first
move towards a settlement.

HEAVY RAINS CAUSE
NO SERIOUS DAMAGE,
FARMERS ARE HAPPY

Local storms Friday, Saturday and
Sunday broke a long continued and
damag ging drought in Wayne and
Preble counties, TO the deep relief of
farmers in this section.
Preble county had been especially
hard hit by the dry weather, tobacco
planting having been seriously retard-
ed, owing to inability even to prepare
much of the ground, while what had
been prepared was too dry for plants
TO live after they had been transplant
ed. One estimate by a man who has
to do much travelling over the county,
placed the amount of ground unpre-
pared on account of the dry weather
at one-fourth of the crop acreage of
the county.
A heavy rain in the southern end
of the county relieved that portion of

PROPOSED SUBSIDY
FOR COAL INDUSTRY
DROPPED BY BRITAIN
CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, June 20.-Leaders of the
miners federation of Great Britain
took no steps yesterday to prevent
the withdrawal of the governments
offer of ten million pounds sterling
subsidy to the coal industry, and it
would appear that unless the govern
ment renews its offer the money will
not be provided by the government
for the carrying on of the business.
The situation is full of uncertainty,
the main .tstanding fact being the
call of the miners union TO all trade
organizations affected by the wage
dispute to meet at an early date for
the purpose of taking national action
TO secure mutual demands Most of
today's newspapers described the de-
cisIon to call this meeting as an IS.
o. S" prompted by desperation. AS
yet nothing has occurred to indicate
how the call is likely to be received.
The annual conference of the labor
party will be held at Brighton. tomor-
row and Herbert Smith, president of
the miners union, and Frank Hodges,
the unions secretary, will attend.
They will proba bly, determine the at
titude of the leaders of other unions,
whose aggregate membership is more
than three million. Most of these
unions are now involved in wage dis
putes and are ready, according to
spokesmen of the miners, to take a
stand with the coal diggers against
what they regard to be a conspiracy
on the part of employers to reduce
wages below the pre-war level and
break the unions.
Miners Gain Little
On the other hand, less interested
observers predict the experience OF
| the miners themselves who, up to to.
day, the 81st day of their strike, have
gained nothing and lost much, will de.
ter other unions from making common
cause with them. Reports of the sen.
| timent prevailing in the ranks OF the
miners are contradictory. Some rep
resent the mean as weakening, while
others state they are holding fast. II
seems certain that South Wales, al
any rate, will have nothing to do with
a movement making for surrender OF
compromise.
