CROP FAILURE
IS BENEFIT TO
i. S. FARMER
Will Cause Funds to Be Dis
tributed to Other In
duStrieS.
BRINGS HIGHER PRICES

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-American
farmers generally will experience
the best season financially in several
years and will pass their increasing
prosperity on in some measure to
the rest of the country.
This is being brought about
paradoxically by crop shortage.
The law of supply and demand will
mean higher prices for farm products
and the income will afford greater
buying power for this half of the
Nations population from which sit
uation other industries are bound to
benefit.
q am an optimist concerning the i'm
mediate future Of the agricultural in
dustry and the importance Of this year S
crop in pulling the farmers out OF the
most serious situation in which they
ever have found themselves" Gray Silver.
washington representative Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation today wired
in answer to a request for statement
Wheat. corn. oats, barley, rye, pota-
toes. tobacco. sugar beets and some
fruits will have a much less yield than
last year. This should mean but one
thing, If domestic and foreign purchasing
power is anything like normal-higher
prices for faum products. more money
in the farmers hands depts paid and n
higher standard OF living"
INCOME GOES TO
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
B. ". Snow. noted Chicago crop ex-
pert, wired that the crop shortage will
be Of general benefit" to the agri-
cultural community. adding that the in
crea sed income viii be distributed to
production In all sections Of the coun-
try"
The winter wheat crop is thrashing
less than was expected and will turn out
only about 550,O0O.OOO bushels" he said.
Spring wheat was affected By heat and
rust and probably viii not exceed 700,
100000 bushels. This total Of 7J0OOO,OOO
bushels is sufficient TO meet domestic
wants and furnish an export, taking in
to consideration the carry-Oyer Of per
haps 100000 bushels. But this is less
than the world needs from America and
with the crop shortage in India and
continued failure or Russia to produce,
the world situation for wheat is ad-
justed to a very narrow market.
The oat crop is the poorest in fifty
years. 1t will not exceed one billion
bushels compared with 15O0,OO0OOO last
year. Other small grains are equally un-
satisfactory.
Corn is a debatable proposition with
the chances for q very moderate yield.
Another food crop Of great Importance is
potatoes and the failure in that is very
severe. The crop will hardly equal two
thirds Of last years.
The crop shortage is general in char
acter and every section is favored with
something in the way Of production. This
viii work to the benefit Of the agricul-
tural community because the higher
prices will be distributed to production
in all sections of the country"

ASHBY SAYS
CITY OWES
UNION RY.
Tells Works Board $115,760
Due on Track Elevation
Work.
COUNTYS CREDIT TAKEN

That the city owes the Indianap-
oils Union Railway Company $115,-
760.54 more for track elevation work
done by the railroad prior to April
l, 1921. than the city paid in the set
tlement agreed upon. early in the
spring, was the gist of an opinion
given to the board of public works
today by Corporation Counsel Sam
uel Ashby. The error, the attorney
said, is due to the fact that the city
claimed credit for payment of $115,-
1904 to the company when such
credit belonged to Marion County.
Mr.. Ashby, city Controller Robert H
Bryson and City Civil Engineer Frank o.
hngenfelter discussed the error and the
corporation counseIs opinion with Jessie
E. Eschbach. chief examiner of the State
board Of ccounts during the day. Mr..
Ashby said no ruling was asked from
the State board, 1t merely being the de
sire to fully acquaint the examiners with
the situation.
INDICATES SUM
WILL BE PAID.
The board Of works indicated that it
viii pay the Union Railway the sum
which Mr. Ashby says is due Funds
for this purpose viii be available when
the November tax money is received
Discovery Of the error came when
county officials began checking up the
amount the county owes the railroads.
Track elevation is being paid for on the
basis Of per cent by the county, II per
cent by the city and 75 per cent by the
railroads, excepting that the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company pays small
percentage for work done in the vicinity
OF points where its tracks pass under
the elevation. which percentage is de
ducted from the STARE Of the city and
county.
At the time the city made its settle
ment with the indianapolis Union Rail
way Company last spring the company
was about 10 stop work because Of lack
Of funds. The settlement was necessary
because the city had done some work for
which the railroad was responsible and

MINORITY
SPLITS ON
TAX FIGHT
Caucus Unable to Agree on
Plan of Attack on Re-
vision Bill.
SOME FAVOR MEASURE
Democratic Leaders Fail to
Prevent Rule for Final
Vote on Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - The
Democratic membership of the
House was split today on the rock of
tax revision.
The minority caucus, which has
been in almost constant session
since 4 o'clock yesterday, was un-
able to come to any definite con-
clusion on the tax revision bill re-
ported by the Republican majority
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Minority Leader Kitchin, who is i'll at
his home In North Carolina, insists that
the minority must oppose the bill. Many
Of the members declare that inasmuch as
the bill provides for reductions in taxes
they cannot vote against the bill or op-
pose Il In It's entirety.
Efforts TO report a substitute bill have
been of no avail and the present indica-
tlons are that there will be a considerable
Democratic vote ia favor of the pending
measure.
PLACED BEFORE
HOUSE At IL O'CLOCK.
The tax bIl was placed before the
House at il o'clock, after an hour Of de
bate during which Democratic leaders
tried 20 prevent the adoption OF a rule
under which the final vote on the meas
ure wiz be taken Saturday afternoon.
It was decided by the Democrats that
they would insist that the Republican
tax plan would not yield the 81, SOC, 600, 600
necessary to safe and sane conduct of
the Treasury and that an attempt to get
along with less would result in a deficit
destructive Of orderly financing Of the
/ Government. They claim the decision Of
the Republicans 10 collect only three bn-
lion dollars from internal revenues is
bad financing.
TAX REVISION
INEQUITABLE.
They present the further argument
that the revision Of the taxes prepared
by the Republicans is ineQuitable in that
Ii llghtens the burdens on the rich but
gives little relief to the poorer taxpayers.
The Democrats decided in their con
I ference TO present no substitute tax bill
for that presented by the Republicans
The Republicans are worried over the
action OF the House Republicans IN fore
ing changes in tho bill delaying repeal OF
{ the excess profits and surtaxes until Jan
