PROF|TEERs, BUYERS
STRIKE; DISCUSSED
BY HARDWARE MAN
CIV Associated Press)

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 21.-Buy-
ers' strikes and profiteers were dis
cussed by Matthias Ludlow, Newark,
n. j., in his message TO the Hardware
Congress as president Of the National
Retail Hardware association here to-
day.
How many have gone deeply into
the question and sought the true cause
of the dissatisfaction? he said.
II do not believe manufacturers
have maintained unjust prices. know
retailers have been honest and done
their best to keep down prices and |
do not believe there has been buy
ers' strike. A buyers strike could not
be organized, nor could it come spon-
taneously.
81 am convinced that the trouble has
been with the taxation and ! am for
titled by utterances of two presidents
of the United States, and reports OF
the department of labor and the de-
partment of justice.
Not Enough Production.
1--WE have had an overproduction OF
false prophets and an underproduction
in industry Let US not be confused
Z
ing from a tax system which might
have existed when tremendous war
profits were being made, when every
body was employed and money flowed
plentifully, but the war is over.
! "a proper adjustment of the tax sit
! uation will bring back property and it
behoves every business man to study
taxation carefully and broadly, in the
| light of its relation to business"
| AS a solution of the tax problem.
. Mr.. Ludlow suggested the merits
claimed for the gross sales tax or turn
over tax of one per cent, on all sales,
advising that this proposed sales tax
| deserved careful study"
The revealing of conditions attend
ant upon the present system should
silence forever the statements that de.
creased business and the high cost OF
| living are due either to a buyers
! strike Or to greed of business men.
declared Mr.. Ludlow.
/ He predicted that this condition
will be adjusted and that good times
are ahead but admonished that bus
mess men must think and study con
ditions as never before"

WAYNE COUNTY RICH
IN GEOLOGICAL DATA,
HOLE TELLS ROTARY

Wayne county is rich in geological
data, Prof. Allen D. Hole of Earlham
college, declared in an address Tues
day before the Rotary club.
Professor Hole said that wherever
institutions of the civilized world re-
tain records of geological features
of the past. Richmond is known. He
told of the rocks beneath which we
have conclusive evidence of the ami
NAL life existing here millions of years
ago, thousands of years ago, and down
to two or three thousand years ago.
Reference was made by Prof. Hole
to the fact that at one time the coun-
try about US was a shallow sea, which
as it receded left its valleys. He said
that there was little doubt that great
ice sheets passed over this territory
probably 10000 or 10000 years ago
Evidence that water at one time
covered this portion of the country was
cited by Prof. Hole, who said that a
shelf near Tests bridge made the
theory certain.

evidence presented this afternoon be-
fore Examiner Disque of the inter

If state rates had been increased on

Los ANGELES-T Topeka 9 DAYS
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Fulton Make
Motor Car Record From Coast.

Driving in a Buick motor car from
Los Angeles, Cal, to Topeka, Kan. a
distance of 1902 miles, in nine days
is a record established by Mr.. and Mrs.
W. S. Fulton of Topeka. The Fultons
arrived here March l and left
Los Angeles February 81. They
took turns at driving and averaged
211 miles a day, over the desert, thru
the mountains and on snow clad Ok
lahoma and Texas roads. Mr.. Fulton
is a contractor here and formerly was
city engineer.
'It was a wonderful trip" w. s.
Fulton said today. ION our way out to
the coast we fought mud most of the
way In fact we used chains thru
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. But
coming back the roads were dry and
in good condition. I wouldn't advise
every one to go to California by motor
but / must say that outside the oil
and gasoline we spent only $7.55 on
the car the entire trip. 1t took three
weeks to GO out thru that mud"
Fulton tells of the fruit conditions
on the coast. Lemons are being
dumped in piles" he said. "They
must be picked and they would sour
the soil if allowed to remain in the
groves so the pickers throw them in
trucks and dump them as rubbish.
Smaller oranges are treated in some
what the same manner. The increase
in freight rates has been a sad blow
to the fruit growers of California
