THREE BIC JOBS
Up To FARLEY

Before Postmaster General Far
ley leaves for Grand Rapids
Mich, to deliver a speech next
Monday, he will be beseeched by
hordes of deserving Democrats to
pluck three lucious political plums
ready to drop. They are:

ship in the Internal Revenue

2. Deputy commissioner in
charge of Income Tax Unit,
salary, $1,000.
3. Deputy commissioner in
charge of estate and miscel
laneous taxes, salary, $1,000.
Most of the applicants for
these positions are from the
South, but since news got around
that the posts are still vacant a
host of Northern and Western
men are now on the job-trying
to land in these choice berths
It is also learned that there
are to be many changes in the
legal setup at the Board of Tax
Appeals, an adjunct of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. In the general
counsel's office of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, incidentally, all
staff members have been asked to
fill out blanks stating the status
quo of their marital arrange
ments. If any of them have
wives or husbands on the Gov
ernment payroll they are asked
to say who will go. Some 10
women lawyers are employed
there, and some of these women
have husbands in the same estab
lishment.

Definite indicators of business

The beer and wine tax yielded
about $11,500,00O. At that rate a
full years collection would
amount to $139, 900 900. However,
the trend has been upward over
the past few weeks.
Many Sharp Gains
Sharp advances in tobacco, cap
ital stock transfers, gasoline, tele~
phone and telegraph messages,
checks, lubricating oils and ad-
missions to theaters were shown
in May as compared with April.
These gains were regarded as par"
ticularly significant, indicative Of
the upward trends in commerce
and industry.

ed that price advances in the
United States since February
amounted to so per cent as COM
pared with 80 per cent in Great
Britain. The 80 per cent aver
age rise on the basic raw materials
of cotton, lard, silver, copper, tin
and rubber, was a worldwide
advance.
HOarding Declines
These arr commodities described
by the board as particularly re.
sponsible to any change in busi-
ness and financial conditions.
The rise in American prices was
brought about by the world price,
the depreciation of the dollar
in foreign exchange, and do

the end of May, while circula-
ton, May 81, was $1,179 900, 900

sequent increase in the demand
for currency for payrolls and for
retail trade.

CHARGES BROWN
COUNTY DUPED
Thousands of Acres Are
Escaping Taxation,
Is Accusation.

Charges that thousands of acres
of Brown county land are escaping
taxation and are being used for
real estate speculation purposes be-
cause of the states forest plantation
laws have been made by Benton
Schrougham, Brown county auditor.
He said that nonresidents rapidly
are gaining ownership of land set
aside for forestration and warned
that tax revenue of the county soon
will be impaired if more land is
placed in control of the state con-
servation department..
A great part of the county now
is owned by nonresidents who use
the land only for place to hunt
and spend week ENDS, Schrougham
charged.
"On the surface it looks very in
nocent, but soon more than 10 per
cent of the county may become
forest preserve he said.
Under this arrangement, Brown
county can not exist"
THE states plantation law as ap-
piled in Brown county is no asset
and has proved to be a great liabil-
ity because of persons who brazenly
admit taking advantage of it to
eScaDe taxation.

UNION DENIES ACTION
HOosier Taxpayers Did Not Sign
Resolution Is Assertion.

Information given to the press
that the Hoosier Taxpayers Union

passed at a joint meeting of civic
organizations Thursday was in er-
ror, George @. Bruce, author of the
resolution, said today.
Although representatives of the
union were present at the meeting,
they did not vote on the resolution,
Bruce explained, because portions
were in conflict with the unions
program. The south side central
committee of local civic clubs did
not approve the action, j. Ed Burke
said.
The resolution urged further re-
duction in the state budget, support
of the $3.50 tax levy limitation law,
and passage of a sales tax or other
measure to remove the burden from
real estate.
