1927 and 1929 sessions, and in each
instance were advanced to the stage
where a vote was taken. The bill in
troduced two years ago was lost by
a margin Of only three votes in
the senate.
The bill as drafted for presenta-
ton to the general assembly which
will convene in January, was sub
mitted at the meeting by Ernest E.
Cloe, Noblesville, commission sec
rotary and former Hamilton circuit
court judge. Participating in dis
cussion of the bill from a legal
standpoint were three attorneys,
Paul r. Benson, Newcastle, former
Henry County prosecutor; Edward

DEPOSITS ARE LOWER
IN new YORK BANKS
Reports Differ From Showing Made
in Washington After Con-
troller's Recent Call.

New York City's 10 largest banks and
trust companies in every case showed
lower deposit totals at the call as of
September "a. compared with June 80
last.
The chief factor in reduced deposits
is the decreased turnover of banking
funds resulting directly from smaller
volume on the New York Stock Ex-
change and the generally low level Of
business activity.
Another factor in reduced deposits Is
the fact that the most recent bank call
was six days prior to the heavy turn
over of october /, whereas the preced-
ing one was on the date when finan-
ciaI transactions are at a midyear
peak, June 80. Many If not all the
local banking institutions had much
larger deposits on October l than on
the bank call date and would have
made a much more favorable COMPARE
son at that time with June 30.
Conditions in New York are quite
different from those prevailing in
washington on the last call The banks
in this city reported total gain of
s3,653,274 in deposits since June 80.
AS noted several days ago, call date
close to october / would have shown a
still larger increase here. The increase
in savings deposits in New York does
not seem to be boosting the totals as
they have done in Washington for
MANY months

PLANTING OF WHEAT
+ is SPEEDED IN WEST
New Crop Sowing Reported I'm
der Favorable Weather
Conditions.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

KANSAS CITY, October 11.-with
moisture and growing conditions i'm
proved over the wheat belt this week,
the new sowing is getting start that
Is encouraging to the producers.
Planting continues at top speed and
seems likely to have two weeks more to
go in the Western portion. Shomehow
there is generally belief that better
prices for grains are in store and the
holders of wheat are in no hurry to
send their supply to market. Perhaps,
too, there is relaxation from the tense
ness that affected the whole interior
during the heat of droughty Summer.
Acceptance Of conditions and less dis
position to complain are noticeable.
After all, there are more units in the
production record Of every principal
crop except corn than year ago for
most of this area. When marketing
conditions improve much of the anxiety
Of the past three months will be for
gotten.
Here and there are reports of what
merchants like to call a buyers strike"
They point to customers who, with
money In the banks. refuse to. spend
until they are assured of the future
progress of business. Probably this is
exaggerated, but it does exist in a de-
gree, being in effect merely a waiting
attitude, far different from that of 1921,
when it was a protest at the high price
level of commodities. When there is
little more confidence this tendency
will vanish and trade viii show some

come. But to envision the future OF
radio we must consider the scope OF its
possible service.
What Is the ultimate objective of our
great industrial development, our So
called Machine Age? Is it not more
leisure, greater liberation Of the indi-
vidual, greater reliance upon the forces
of Nature? All mankind covets leisure
not the leisure of idleness, but leisure
that gives opportunity to know life IN
its fullness, to enjoy wholesome recrea-
ton. to acquire new information. Man
covets leisure to experience the emo
lions that surge to the dramatic arts,
to feel the charm and inspiration OF
music.
In giving to our hours Of leisure a
higher purpose and a greater worth,
radio has the opportunity for its most
conspicuous contribution. Its aim is en-
tertainment, education and instruction
of the highest attainable order. Its de-
vices must be the best that can be con-
structed to achieve that end. With such
a mission there can be no final goal,
and for such an industry no real sat-
uration point.
Conditions Abroad.
I mentioned that conditions in the
United States are better than they have
been in Europe. returned from Europe
last month and while there had good
opportunity to observe conditions IN
England, France and Germany Bust
ness in France is surprisingly good, out
the depression Is very noticeable In Eng
land and Germany. Europe's economic
and financial situation seems to be de-
pendent for its improvement upon that
in the United States.
1t is now generally recognized In Eu-
rope that the United States is the key
nation in world economics. With Eu-
rope waiting for the United States to
resume full-scale operations, the prob
lens of the United States assume
worldwide significance. The problems
cannot be viewed from the standpoint
Of one or two American industries; 1t Is
in scope.

RENTS ARE. NOW BACK
TO LEVELS OF 1920
Surplus of Loanable Funds Elk
pected to Help Present Real
Estate Situation.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 11.-Rents are
back to 1920 levels. The difference, as
noted by the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute's current weekly, is that whereas
in 1920 the trend was upward, today
the trend is a continuation Of Q six
year decline.
The decline, which in its early. stages
reflected Reconstruction, is now ag-
gravated by diminishing purchasing
power. Tenants are taking advantage
Of an oversupply of space by moving
freely wherever rent concessions are
offered.
Pending readjustment Of values on
the basis of reduced rents, buyers are
slow Decline in building costs affects
unfavorably the market value of ex-
isting improvements. Furthermore, pur-
chasing power is now restricted. The
sales market suffers also through
forced sales due to foreclosures Of mort
gage loans.
The surplus Of loanable funds, how
ever, as shown by low interest rates,
promises to save the situation, says the
institute. BY virtue of this condition
mortgage money is in good supply and
purchases can be financed readily,
while borrowing on mortgage security
is greatly facilitated.
