NO RAISE IN FARM VALUES
Decision of Executive Council is q
Distinct Victory for the
Farming interests.

Valuation of Iowa farm land for
purposes Of taxation will not be rails
ed at this time, but will remain up
on the 1919 basis, according to a
recent decision of the Executive
Council of Iowa. This decision was
announced after hearing in which
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
presented arguments against any
program of advancement calculated
to add to the present tax burdens of
farmers.
The hearings occupied several
days. Besides the Federation, rep
resentatives of the railroads, tele-
phone companies, express companies,
public utilities and various other
business Interests were given OPP
portunity to present their respec-
tive claims. The Federation, speak
ing in the interest or the farmers OF
Iowa, was represented by Attorney
u. G.. Mitchell, President Hunt and
members of the committee on tax
alton.
The decision of the Council is a
distinct victory for the Federation
in particular and the farmers in
general. The trend of the times is
unquestionably toward boosting
values with the idea of keeping the
levy down. Valuations of railroads,
public utilities and some other
kinds of property were materially
increased, and there IS every rea-
son to assume that land values
would have been advanced If the
Federation had not made such a
convincing showing to the effect
that farm lands are already carry
ing a disproportionate share of the
burden. Incidentally it adds an
other item to the growing list OF
things accomplished by the FEEDER
alton for the farmers Of Iowa.

AUTO INDUSTRY
FIRST TO REVIVE
Vital Need of Transportation
Gives Impetus to
Upward Move.

Much astonishment has been ex-
pressed among the business fra
ternity in general that the automo-
bile industry proved one of the first,
to shake off the depression and re-
sumo operations on close to normal
basis. There had been q general
feeling that improvement in the au-
tomobile business would follow. not
lead. Improvement in business in
general.
THE reason for this" says H.
NJ. Jewett, president Of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company, "is that
the automobile industry in the final
analysis builds transportation. and
transportation Is a vital necessity.
The present situation proves this
better than volumes Of explanation
and argument.
People are buying automobiles
in close to normal volume at a time
when only necessities are being
purchased because the automobile
has established itself as a necessity.
It furnihes the personal transporta-
tion necessary to successful busi-
ness and success full recreation.
Those financially strong manu-
featuring institutions which have.
through the past decade. proved
their ability to serve the public with
good transportation and which are
today offering a standard quality
product at rock bottom price are
enjoying good business. That is
how we explain the fact that today
the demand for Paiges Is in excess
Of the supply"

EXPERTS NEEDED
IN TIRE REPAIRING

To take a chance on haphazard
tire repair work is no longer in
vogue. The motorist is insisting
that this work be done only by
competent men possessing certifl-
Gates of training. This has meant
an elimination of the unfit and an
improvement throughout tho coun-
try in the average standard of re-
pair and vulcanizing work.
Tire repairing is now an essen
tial part of the automotive indus
try. 1t is continuing to increase in
Importance with the greater use of
the passenger car and truck. ON
an average there is s35 worth of
tire repair work per car per year.
On this basis and figuring 5000, 900
cars in the United States, he repair
and vulcanizing industry amounts
to almist s333.00o.o0O annually.
Prominent among the schools
that are leaders in this movement
for technically trained repairmen Is
the Miller tire repair school Here
the men are taught not only to be
able to tell the trouble on inspec-
tion but to be able to put the tire
in first class condition. They are
advised to be perfectly frank with
the customer and not to repair the
tire that cannot give full service to
justify the cost of the work.

RUNNING 1T FLAT
RUINS AUTO TIRE

The terrific abuse in grinding,
chafng and cutting given an auto
mobile tire run fat is little under
stood by the average motorist. Pop
ular ideas are vague because there
are few standards upon which they
may be based. 1t Is only by exam
lining kindred forces thai" compar-
ison may be made, according TO
Miller tire men.
The average force delivered by a
blow from an axe on a block Of
wood Is from $50 to IT'S pounds.
The blow of a sledge is from 175 to
225 pounds. But a passenger au-
tomobile, each of whose rear wheels
is carrying a load Of 1900 pounds,
run at only twenty niles per hour
and dropping into a chuckhole only
as deep as a paving brick, delivers
a blow of $50 pounds. This force
so per cent greater thant that of
the sledge hammer blow-necessa-
rily cuts and bruises the tire
against the rim and is the cause of
fabric separation which puts the
tire on the scrap heap.

SAYS CAR OWNERS
TAKE MUCH BETTER
CARE OF TIRES NOW
Firestone Company Sees
Big Advancement in
Public's Wisdom.

with the. number Of automobiles.
trucks and motorcycles advanced
to the point where there is now
one motor vehicle to about every
six adults in the country, attention
continues to be focused on the ma
tion's bill for tire abuse and the
avenues through which savings can
be effected.
whereas ten years ago, according
to data compiled by the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company. few tire
buyers gave much attention to the
need of tire care, today with tire
prices at the lowest level in history
and with quality never SO good. the
truck owner and motorist are CIV
ing their tire equipment as much
attention and considering their
tires as of the same relative i'm
portance as the vehicles mechan-
ism or body. This accounts in no
small measure for the splendid
average mileage now rolled up by
good tires, for now they are al
lowed to demonstrate all the worth
built into them.
The motorist Is realizing, with
the operator of the pneumatic-shoo
truck, that to allow mis- tires to run
on week after week without check
ing up to see IL the air imitation is
at normal, Is to run the chances OF
excessive stretching and heating
for, when soft. the casing runs
against a wave in the tread rubber
which, under these conditions, will
pull away and separate from the
tires carcass. Another little infia-
tion angle Is to replace the air az
least twice a year. Stale air has
deteriorating effect on the tube,
say Firestone service experts.
