Federal hill lies about a mile from
Bardstown, which is 80 miles south Of

to be unique among state documents,

Reduction of Crime Reported in
Many States, Including
Vermont.

Baltimore, Nd, April 4.-David f
Houston, former secretary of agricul
ture, in Analysing a countrywide sur
gey of industrial, financial, agriculture
and other economic conditions, declares
that "the big national question is taxa
tion with peace settlement and interna
tional trade next"
The survey, made in all of the geo.
graphical divisions of the United States
BY field agents of the Fidelity and De
posit company of this city consisted OF
answers to SO questions by farmers,
bankers, manufacturers and public Off
Gals. An interesting feature of the
Statistics is that in every section ex-
cept New England and the Rocky
mountain states building operations
show a marked increase. General
transportation conditions in every
state were reported good and new
materials plentiful. Savings accounts,
The survey showed, increased in 10
states.
Police officials OFF, states said there
have been a noticeable increase in crime
over last September but decrease was
reported in Massachusetts, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
pennsylvania, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
In every state the eoncensus OF opin-
ion was that the farmers have not
disposed of all their last seasons
crops. Low prices and shortage of
money and labor are said to have
caused a reduction in acreage in all
states except Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and the Pacific
roast states The crop outlook for
1921. however, in every case, was re-
ported fair or good.
"The survey indicates that the bust

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1921,
Thanks, MIR. Hoover.

Secretary Hoover said at banquet
in New York, Saturday night: If
Europe can keep the pace for another
year, there will be no further cause
for American charity"
Only last fall we'll touted English
economist was sent out here to ne
gotiate what he designated as "a stag
goring loan to save" civilization. He
declared that 80 billion dollars would
be required for that job. When Mr.
Economist was told that Uncle Sam
was not ready to save civilization
at that price, he cut the figures in
half intimating that maybe "cviliza-
itions could pull through with Is bill
lion dollars. Sull Uncle Sam, with
the aid and consent of American
bankers, refused, 'eyeh at the reduc-
ed price, to save civilization The
outcome of Il ali VAS that MI Heppo-
mist returned to England without
even nickle Of American money.
While it is re-assuring to know from
SO high an authority as Secretary
Hoover that civilization has been
saved" without hardly the cost of
a cent, the questions naturally arise
who really wanted that Staggering
loan" of 30 billion dollars for which
the English economist SO suayely
pleaded? And If Uncle Sam or the
American hnanciers had fallen for the
touch" what would have become of
the money, which of the governments
Of our" allies would have gotten IT,
and how. when or why would it have
peen repaid?
