CHICAGO, June 6.-Congress took the
panicky streak out of the American farm
err and he now has his sleeves rolled up
and his feet squarely on the ground.
The farmer who some months ago threw
his rake in the marsh and shouted
what the use" has been given real
incentive for going back to work.
Tillers Of the soil, many of them on
the verge of bankruptcy for long, long
while and unable to borrow running CAPT
tai, believe they have started on new
era of prosperity.
A survey of the agrarian districts of
the country completed by the American
Farm Bureau Federation today showed
a vast change of conditions among farm
ers during the first week Of the new

A real back to the farm movement by
the boys who left during the days Of fat
pay envelopes in the factories added to
the peace Of mind of the agricuIturist,

When the waters began to get into the

Farmers Are Working
Under Full Steam Since
Congress Gaze It's Aid

Farmers, according to reports, are Sc
curing plenty Of help at wages much be-
low last years.
The farming industry is now on an
equal footing with other American in
dustEles, said j. W. Cloverdale, secretary
of the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.
Farmers realize that the new tariff
will act on price defation and will pre-
vent the dumping Of cheap foreign crops
on the American markets.
1.-THE opportunities of the farmers will
be equalized with those of foreigners who
secure their labor at cost vastly below
that in this country. There has always
been a feeling among farmers that they
We're Disseminated against because most
other industries were protected AID
theirs was not. The feeling has now
been removed; a new era has started"
Cloverdale said that 100000 bushels
of corn were exported last year and TO-
100000 imported. The imported corn, he
said, served as a leverage to break prices
leaving Losses instead Of prohtR.

Liquor Auto Cases

Hereafter all cases Of a purely local
character where automobiles have been
seized in the transportation Of liquor will
be left to the State authorities TO handle,

cause OF the enactment Of a law Of for
fixture by the last Legislature exactly
similar to Section 20 Of the Volstead act,

ROCKER CLAIM,
IL UPHELD, OF
WIDE BEARING
Contention Makes Handling
of Public Funds Over
State Illegal.

Appropriations of a total Of 81, $500
In two ordinances to be introduced In
the city council win be illegal If the con-
tention made by Attorney w. " Rocker
in Circuit Court Saturday to the effect
that the tax law Of 1920 abolished 80
called general funds of cities and counties
and established a budget system under
which all public money is divided into
separate trust funds which can be spent
for no other purpose than that set forth
in the tax levies, is upheld.
The point. which If upheld, will EN-
broil the financial system of practically
every city, county and township In the
State in such chaos that 1t probably will
take further legislation to bring order,
was raised by Mr.. Rocker In a suit to
enjoin Marion County from paying ex-
aminers Of the State board Of accounts
for auditing the county's books out Of
the general fund. Mr.. Rocker contents
that there can be no general fund be-
cause the new State tax law, passed in
1919 and not amended in this particular
by subsequent attempts Of Republican
Legislatures to iron out its numerous
snarls, abolished the general fund by pro-
viding that tax levies shall be made upon
the basis Of a budget, which Is sdver-
tised and subjected to public hearing be-
fore adoption He argues that no taxing
unit may appropriate one penny in add
ton to that appropriated In the budget
and that the various funds, having be-
come lnviolable trust funds by the
adoption of the budget setting forth the
specific purposes for which the money in
them may be spent, may not be dis
turbed by having sums transferred from
one to another.
The ordinances provides for $500 for
the use OF the Marion County council OF
the American Legion in meeting ex-
penses Of the Fourth Of Jnly celebration
at the State Fair Grounds, and s3,os5.2O
for the Art Association Of Indianapolis.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby said
today that he had been prevented by a
rush Of other city business from investi-
eating Mr.. Rockers contentious and
their application to municipal fnaicial
affairs and therefore could not expires an
opinion on them.
