rescue Mason and subdue Lee.

A SOUR NOTE
By GEORGE B. LOCKWOOD

The executive committee of the National Association of
Manufacturers has issued statement asking retailers 'o
make equitable reduction in prices to consumers
The committee declares that the decline in retail prices
since January 1890 has not been great the decline
III wholesale prices It declares that during that time
wholesale prices have declined 1913 per cent while the
cost of living represented by retail prices declined only
1913 per cent The National Association Of Manufac-
turers declared that further reduction in prices would
start up business through increased purchases
There is something the matter with the associations
statistics. Decreases in retail prices have been far
greater than would be indicated by these figures In
lines of merchandise they great 80 per
cent 1t requires only comparison of figures appear
ing in the advertising columns of any newspaper today
with those of Is months ago to understand the big drop
that has occurred in retail prices.
Charles Grafton president of the Indiana Association
of Manufacturers who has issued statement repudatng
the outgvng Of the national association states that he
recently received small portion of shipment from his
Munce factory department store in another city The
goods still retained the price markings He found that
they had been offered at insignificant advance
the low factory prce that would certainly not afford
much profit This is the experience of many manufac
turers. -
Such criticism of the retailers Of the country by the
heads of the National Association Of Manufacturers will
be productive of much harm. Retailers generally are
having hard time Of it. Prices have slipped but their
rent has not come down. Their taxes are rising, not
normal times Their credit is restricted Few are maxi
ing profits Retail prices lower than they have been
in years-ower in many instances than conditions JUS
fy The ntmation that the retailers are profteerng
at this time is preposterous. se4AJaa ese
The National Association of Manufacturers executive
committee wrong, too in the statement that this fall
ing price range stimulates buying 1t is contrary to
sense but people less inclined to buy
falling market than a rising market While prices
falling, the customer figures that he will wait for
still lower prices If they rising, he figures that
he would better hurry because prices going up.
Moreover in such TINS these people hang to their
money possessed by unreasonable fear of the future Pos
sessng the key to restored prosperity they hide the key
Retail prices abnormally low, and not likely to
be much if any lower Indeed the first return Of conf
dence will witness in price levels and buying pow
from all the dammedup demand for necessities com
forts and luxures is unloosened prices will take rapid
upward swing When that happens will all know that
the country is the way to recovery for higher prices
will mean general, profitable and Secure employ
ment for labor and investment forbusiness enterprise

RUSSIAN WHEAT

Last year Russia harvested over billion bushels of
wheat She had about 200000000 bushels for export and
with that surplus gutted the export markets Of the other
European countries Her 1881 acreage has been ncreas
ed and it is estimated that she will produce this year, Il
5OOOO0,OOO bushels of wheat and will probably have
70O,0O0,0O0 bushels to dump the world markets.
There is only answer to the Russian program in
far the United States is concerned We are out OF
the export market. Any wheat grown in this country,
beyond domestic needs will act boomerang the
domestic price for wheat at least until the per capita

PROPERTY TAX
RUNNING STATE,
SAYS SETTLE
Urges Farm Bureau to Make
Demand for Special Leg
iSIative Session.

Branding Indiana's property tax
system as a destructive agency
wrecking homes and pauperizing
families, william H. Settle, Indiana
Farm Bureau president, today urged
the annual convention Of the bureau
TO demand special legislative ses-
sion to consider taxation legislation.
The time has come when we need
more action and less talk by those
in authority to act" Settle said at
this mornings session of the con-
vention in the Claypool
"A special session Of the legis-
lature should be called at once to
deal with this most important prob
lem. I know that some will oppose,
from what they call political ex-
pediency, but l doubt that there is
any political eXpediency in refusing
to call the legislature to meet and
deal with problem that is wrecking
the state"
Suggests Income Tax
Settle suggested first an income
tax, and second a corporation tax,
mentioning also possibilities of ex-
else taxation, sales and luxury taxes,
pointing out the success these forms
of revenue procurement have met
in other states.
Indiana has grown into a great
industrial state" he said, leading to
the question of the corporation tax.
THE profits derived from real
estate and especially from the use
of lands in agriculture constitute
but a small percentage Of the total
income Of the state and yet under
the general property tax more than
two-thirds of the taxes in the state
are levied upon and collected from
real estate"
Killed by 1927 Senate
Maintaining that other taxes be-
sides the general property levy are
constitutional he reminded the
bureau members that the senate of
the 1927 general assembly killed a
bill to relieve property taxes.
He attacked the absence of a cor
poration tax further on grounds
that, through higher prices as the
result of taxes they must pay in
other states, big interstate corpora
tons are forcing Indiana to pay a
portion of the taxes levied by other
commemorative.
Il think the Governor will listen
to our appeal for a special session
of the legislature, and be convinced
it is his duty to call the legislature
to deal with these two important
questions"
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan well
coined the delegates in an address
in which he discussed taxation, ia
voring reduction of property tax with
possible alternatives of income,
corporation and excise taxes to
make up the states public fund.
P. L. Belts of Chicago, manager
of the Dairy and Poultry Co
Operative, Inc and Mrs. Frank
Evans of Washington, D. c., also
