Toward Pre-War Average.
By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Wages
of all classes of farm labor are be-
low wages a year ago, the index
of the general level of farm wages
on July l this year being placed at
ITO per cent of the pre-war level
as compared with 172 per cent in
July last year by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The lower level of farm wages,
says the bureau probably is due to
large supply Of farm labor available
this year. Supply expressed as per
cent Of demand is 105 for July as
compared with 100 a year ago.
The larger supply in turn, the
bureau adds, probably is explained
by the much lower volume of indus
trial employment prevailing during
the first six months of 1928, releas-
ing more labor for farms.

Decrease Anticipated After
ReaSSeSSment Order
of Legislature.

When the day for the payment Of
the annual spring installment of
1928 taxes comes this June the State
of Indiana is expected to receive ap-
proXimately 81, 100000 less from the
county treasurers than was received
in June, 1927, Lewis S. Bowman,
State Auditor said today.
Expectation of the decrease is
based on the action of the 1927 leg
islature, providing for the reassess-
ment of real estate in order to re-
lieve the farmers.
The measure provides for an
eleven per cent reduction
The direct property tax in 1926
totaled $1,754,90883, while the tax
in 1927 was $6,597 1886. Bowman
said.
The taxable property tax assessed
in 1927, and payable in 1927 was
S5,307267, while that for this year
in S5,186, 547852.
The State had on hand in its gen.
eral fund in May, 1928, S10,336, 697 80,
in comparison with $11210,543 46
for the same period in 1927; the
total of funds on hand May, 1928,
was $12,1l5,72832; while the total
for May, 1927, was 1882, 48388.
The June settlement sheet for
1926 gave the State a total of S.
439 ,3S298.
Experts in the auditors depart
ment, although not finished with
their tabulatiOn, declare that there
is a possibility that the settlement
this June probably will be $2,000,-
600 under the 1926 figure
Expenditures however have been
reduced in proportion and all evil
dence indicates there will be no
need for additional levy despite the
large reductions

Foreign Rubber Consumption.
EStirllated.)

It appears that 1920 should
normally be a year for heavily
increased consumption Of rubber
outside the United States, or, at
least, for heavily increased net i'm
ports. It is likely that stocks have
been reduced in other countries
during 1923, just as in the United
States and England. American
owned rubber factories in England
and Australia will normally use
more rubber in 1929 than in 1928.
Even allowing for possible further
increased use of reclaimed rubber,
owing to keen manufacturing
competition, foreign rubber con-
sumption Is certain to show an in
crease and net imports next year
should exceed consumption in or
der to replenish stocks. Finally,
the following table, which shows
foreign automobile registrations
as of January each year since
1921, indicates continued increase
in the demand for tires abroad.
Tire exports from the United
States are expected to- show little
increase in 1929, because certain
foreign markets will be supplied
from British factories, so that
practically all the 1929 increased
demand for tires abroad will be
met by foreign production.
Evening star., 1928-11-04
Foreign Auto Registrations.

Foreign registrations are now
over three times as great as at the
beginning of 1922, and increasing
at the rate of nearly 100000 per
year.
Some of the concomitant effects
of restrictions to which relatively
little attention has been directed
are worthy Of special mention.
When the scheme began to cause
really high prices for rubber, sup
Elementary toll was levied on rub
ber consumers in many ways. The
minimum rate of duty to which
exports from Malaga and Ceylon
were subject was increased; the
cargo rates on rubber from ports
in the Middle East to consuming
centers were increased several
times, and the percentage COM
missions of brokers and insurance
companies, as well as interest
rates on capital. tended to increase
