ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 21.-Offi-
ciai reports from 268 cities, reeeiy-
ed in Atlanta, show that building
permits issued during che first
month of the year were 10 per cent
in excess Of January d year ago,
which in turn was record-break'

The percentage of gain in three
sections of the countryNewas even
greater than the gain for the coun-

per cent, the West % per cent and
the East II per cent. The Cen
trail section showed a loss of Is
rer cent.
The significance of the reports

that they indicate the possible ia

LONGVORTH C[. AIMS
DETECTION IN RANKS
OF HOUSE INSURGENTS
House Hurries Along Consid-
Grafton of Revenue Bill With
Stubborn Fight Ahead
CONTEST INCOME RATES
Schedule Voted Into Bill AL
ready To Be Fought Over At
Time Of Final Passage

WASHINGTON, February 21.-
The house hurried along with con-
sideration of the revenue bill today
while leaders lined up their forces
for the second show down on the
income rates section when the bill
comes up for final passage.
A stubborn contest over income
rated voted into the bill by demo-
Gratis and insurgents republicans
appears certain with Representative
Longworth, the republican leader
claiming a detection in the ranks
of II republicans who voted fol
a 25 per cent reduction in the 1928
income taxes payable this year.
An amendment proposed by Rep
resentative Dickinson, republican
of Iowa, proposing to make farmers
and mutual insurance companies
exempt from tax, was adopted by
viva yoca vote today by the house
in its consideration of the revenue
bill.
Dickinson pointed out that his
amendment was merely to perfect a
law which previously had exempt
ed farmers and mutual insurance
companies but which had lost the
right on court decision.
Provisions relating to profits on
corporation stocks were further
frightened up with the adoption of
an amendment subjecting the earn
ings on stock redeemed by corpor-
ations in liquidation proceedings to
regular income rates rather than to
the II IL per cent capital gain tax.

COMING CONFERENCE
ATTRACTS attention

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Coolidge's conference on the
state of agriculture is deemed more
likely to impress the country once
more with the extent and severity
Of the disease than to devise cure.
In fact the conference has simply
given new pertinence to some Of the
painful facts of the farmers situa-
ton, especially in the region west
of the Mississippi river.
Eugene Meyer, Jr.. and Frank
w. Mondell of the war Finance
Corporation several months ago
gave President Coolidge a picture
fthe distress they witnessed ON
their trip through the West. Sec
rotary Wallace has repeatedly fur
nished statistical evidence of the in
solvency and proverty which are
epidemic in the Northwestern
States where wheat is the principal
product. Bankers and business
men and members Of Congress have

subject. 1t is not want Of know

Of a remedy that is the problem.
Farmers were AZ per cent of all
the persons adjudged bankrupt in
Idaho in 1922. They were from

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Re-
ports received during the last few

So pronounced has been the

Developments in Washington re-
Gently have contributed in no small
degree to Senator Underwood's pro.

point, it is agreed by all, was his
speech-making trip into Ohio last
month. His utterances at Cleye
land and Akron have been receive
with favor everywhere, judged BY
the editorial comment in the pres
as well as by the reports which have
come to his headquarters here. Thu
Universal impression, made plan
by the comemnt, is that Mr.. I'm

Another feature of the campaign
