CBy Thomson 81 McKinnon

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-DeveIop-
ments over the weekend contrib
uted nothing stimulating to the
market. Ofsetting the good effect
of the commerce commissions order
waving the usual thirty days no.
tice before making increased freight
rates effective, was the estimate
that the saving from the prospec-
tive wage reductions for the rail-
road would fall short of the
amount popularity supposed.
Otherwise interest appeared to
" largely absorbed with the uues-
ton of war debts and reparations.
Regardless of how much we would
like to disaSSociate ourselves from
the problem of reparationS re-
visions, we can not logically do so.
Whatever may be our views upon
the interlacing of war debts owed
us with PREPARATIONS. the burden
some intergovernmental obligations
constitute a barrier to an early eco
nomic recovery of the world. The
course and duration of the depres-
sion will be primarily determined
by the international relationships
that are to be largely shaped at
the forthcoming Hague conference.
No more than heretofore can We
escape the influence of its settle
ment OF the issues involved. Pend
ing a permanent or even temporary
solution, confidence naturally will
be somewhat hesitant-
The market at least is rejecting
such restraint in its present indie
cisiveneSS.

NARROW RANCE
Wheat Sentiment Turning
BuIIiSh for Long
Pull.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-OutSide of a
show of strength in corn, there was
little action as the Board of Trade
opened today. Wheat was steady
and slightly firm, but price changes
were very small at the start. Weak
ness in stocks was offset by steadi-.
ness at liverpool.
TightneSs in December corn and
the forecast for unsettled weather
gave corn its opening bulge, but the
advance did not progress far. Oats
were dull and about steady.
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to Is cent higher, corn was
Il to Il cent higher and oats I'M
changed to Is cent lower. Pro-
visions were about steady.
Sentiment BuIIish
Liverpool was about as expected,
although a higher exchange rate
accounted for most of the Is to y
pence drop by mid-afternoon. Most
wheat traders look for a continual
ton of the prevailing quietnesS I'M
til we'll into January.
Sentiment is rather bullish on the
long pull, based upon the probable
improvement in the export situa-
ton and the crop scare period. The
bare fields of the southwest and the
hazards ahead of the southern
hemisphere crop hold potential bull
lish news for later in the season.
Corn Trade Dull
The larger number of hogs on
feed and the reduced estimates on
coarse grain crops for next year
have aroused some interest on the
bull side of corn. However, the
disposition of the majority seems
to be to sell corn against purchases
of wheat, indicating an advance in
wheat is looked for ahead of any
improvement in corn.
Activity in oats is at minimum.
Local industries are expected to en-
ter the market in a more active
way after next week.

ROTARIANS HEAR
PLAN TO SHIFT
TAXATION LOAD
Economist Urges Aid for
HaraSSeC Owners of
Real Property.

A tax reform program, worked
out 80 that no large part of the
state would be overloaded to the
advantage of other groups" was
outlined today at the Claypool be-
fore the Indianapolis Rotary Club
by Guy Cantwell, Indiana uni
versity extension lecturer.
Cantwell's suggested program
would reduce Indiana,s real prop
erty tax burden from the prevail
ing S4.4 per cent of total taxation
to approximately 81 per cent OF the
total load.
Cantwell used research data from
other states and applied these tax
figures to the Indiana tax situation.
Cut to S1OO,OOO,OOO
His suggested tax program would
reduce real estate taxes from a
present total of $136, 100000 to about
500 100000. An approximate table
was outlined to the Rotarians as
follows:
