Representatives of Farm
Bureau Federation to
sit With Executive
I'ys7. Council.
TO FIX LAND VALUES
q. - ~. ::
Equitable Apportionment in
Different Counties is
! Hard.

Representatives of the Iowa Farm
Bureau Federation will meet with the
executive council in July when that
body will sit as board Of equalization
Of land values for purposes Of taxation
In order to have accurate working
information for the occasion the fefler-
alton is conducting careful state
wide survey to determine present val
ues as compared with those of two
years ago when speculation was sam
pant and prices seeking new levels ev-
cry day. "a
Some of the older counties of the
state were not so upset by the late Ian
boom. Values remained fairly conserva.
tive, with taxes in proportion. But in
most counties prices scared to the skies,
and now, with market reaction in
progress, leaving taxes based upon the
maximum figures reached, the problem
has become distressing.
The Federation officials realize per-
fectly that an equitable appOrtionment
and distribution, one county with an
other, is about the hardest thing on
earth to accomplish, and dependable,
first hand data is absolutely necessary
il the executive council is to act intelli-
gently and with anything approaching
fairness to all.
This information the federation pre-
poses to furnish. When completed the
survey will show land values by coun-
ties, both in 1919 and 1921; it will
show whether the initiation expert
enced two years ago has been dis
counted and to what extent; 1t will
show the percentage of bankruptcies re-
sulting from the boom, the proportion
of cases where owners have been COM
PEELED to take back farms that could
not be paid for, and much other infor-
nation Of similar nature.

Pity The Blind Man

@ ONE days you'll see lin, slowly hesitatngly feel
~ ing his way At other times he has a guide who
quickly leads him where he wants to go.
When you shop without advance knowledge Of where
to go to get the best, you are feeling your luay.
The advertisements in the newspapers are guides
They will tell you where to to get the best-Qickly
And they are a guarantee of satisfaction. The con-
sistent advertiser pays money to tell you about his
goods He knows they are good-he backs them with
his money because he believes they'll satisfy. Only
merchandise which is consistently good can be con-
sistently advertised.
Read the advertisements and buy the advertised pro-
ducts. Don't spend your money blindly Get dollars
worth for dollar by buying products that have proved
their worth under the glare of publicity.
