STORE VOLUME

City'S Department Store
Trade ia Per Cent Ahead
of Year AGO.

June sales of Indianapolis depart
ment stores, although under the
preceding month, showed a greater
increase over a year ago than was
recorded in May, according to the
monthly resume of business eondi-
tons issued today by the Federal
Reserve Bank Of Chicago.
Volume last month, according to
the bank, was ia per cent ahead of
the corresponding month last year,
whereas in May the percentage in
crease over a year ago was only rs
per sent. Thus. it is demonstrated
that the relative improvement over
a year ago has been approximately
30 per cent in the last month.
AS a consequence of the improved
showing net sales of department
stores in this area for the first six
months of the year show a gain of
100 per cent over 1884.
los Per Cent Under May
June trade fell los per cent be-
low the volume of the preceding
month, but a decline during the
month is normal seasonal devel-
opment. Although there were five
Saturdays in June there was one
less trading day than in May and
also one less than in June, 1884.
Stocks of merchandise in Indian
apolis department stores fell further
during the month as contrasted
with a yearrago. June stocks were
1875 per cent below the correspond
ing 1884 month, whereas in May the
inventory position was 16.5 per cent
under May of 1884.
Taking in the entire Seventh Fed
eral Reserve District the bank stated
that decreases in employment and
pay rolls were recorded for June
by industries; the number of work.
ers employed falling 2 per cent and
aggregate wage payments As per
cent below the corresponding figures
of the preceding month.
Manufacturing SIumps
Increased activity in non manu-
featuring industries. which followed
the normal seasonal trend, was in
sufficient to offset the greater
than-seasonal contraction that was
experienced by the manufacturing
Industries. Current volumes, how
ever, remained above those of a
year ago by per cent in employ
ment and 8 per cent in pay rolls,
or by approximately the same mar
gins as were recorded for the earlier
months of April and May.
Pay roll declines in the manu-
featuring industry totaled consider
ably more than losses in employ
per cent against 8 per cent
but the latter were more widely
distributed, affecting all but three
of the 10 main groups. Except for
public utilities, all non-manufac-
turing groups contributed to the
general rise of is per cent each
in the number of workers employed
and in wage payments.

SOUTH HALF RANCHERS CURB
MYSTERIOUS CATTLE MALADY
Swift Action Saves Herds Threat
ened By Unknown Disease,
Agent Reports
Experts Are Called
Make Complete Post Mortem Ex-
aminations Of Affected Ami
mails; Await Findings

Developments during the past
week indicate that the outbreak of
cattle losses on the South Half
has been halted in the herds af-
fected, according to Vernon Chap
man, county agent. Chapman had
previously warned stockmen of that
area that these losses might be ex-
pected and had advised that any
herds in which it might strike
should be moved to change OF
feed, and to stubble fields If pos
sible.
The first of the losses were ex-
perienced about 10 days ago, but
prompt action by stockmen seems
to have stopped it's spread, and most
of the affected animals are recov-
ering.
On wednesday, through the coun-
ty agents office, Drs. H. A. Smith
and F. N. Bell, from the College Of
Veterinary Science, Washington
State College, visited affected herds
of the area where losses were being
experienced. They made a COM
plete post mortem of one of the af-
fected animals and took many speci-
mems to Pullman for further study.
On Friday,Dr =. j. G. Thompson, rep
resenting the state department of
agriculture, spent time in the same
area, but no post mortem was made
because at that time it appeared
that affected animals were on the
way to recovery through the mea-
sures already taken by the stock
men.
Awaits Findings
Nothing has yet been received by
the county agent from Pullman re-
garding what may have been found
by the veterinary department from
the specimens taken by DR.. Smith
and DR.. Bell. These men stated,
however, that while this disease or
poisoning is not new, no funds have
ever been made available to their
department of the college or to the
state department of agriculture to
carry on research work and that APP
parently the cause can not be
found without more study than can
be carried on without funds.
Until more is known about the
cause of these losses, Chapman
states that he has nothing new to
offer in the way of control, but sug-
gests that a good steady rain which
will start new grass or "green-u
the old grass may do away with it..

Weather

GRAND COULEE DAM-Even
King Winter is not going to halt
operations at the Grand Coulee high
dam construction.
Although present temperatures
give little indication of cold weather
to come, dam engineers and Off
Gals are making things shipshape
so the advent of the cold season
will cause as little delay as pos
sible in the work of the mammoth
project.
Steel sheet piling is now being
unloaded from railroad cars at the
dam, giving assurance that materi-
al necessary for additional Golfer
dams will be on hard when needed.
Equipment first used in driving the
west shore cofferdam in the Colum-
bia river is still available.

STATE HALTS
PENSION PLAN
FOR AGED FOLK
Will Not Consider Any More
Applications, Welfare De-
partment Announces
Hits County's Aged
Only 100 Of 500 Applicants Are
Getting Assistance Under
New Pension Plan

Long major problem in county
and state affairs, old age assistance
became an even more involved issue
late last week when notice was
served by the newly-formed State
Department of Public Welfare that
applications now on file are destined
to be tabled indefinitely.
Circulars explaining that it is un-
likely the state will receive federal
aid in it's old age pension work, and
that as a result the state welfare
department has discontinued fur
ther consideration of applications"
have been received by Kenneth Bry-
ant, county welfare supervisor, and
are scheduled to be distributed to
pension applicants in this county.
Many Applications
The direct result, according to I'M
official information from county
commissioners, will be to eliminate
hopes of a pension for about 400
Okanogan county aged people who
have made application. Only 100
of the 500 who originally applied are
now receiving old age assistance
from the state under the new pen
sion plan recently put into effect.
Pension payments being made
range in amount from $17.50 to $25.
Some are receiving $40, some $22.5O,
and there is a possibility that a few
monthly payments Of $27.50 and $50
are being made.
1t had been planned by the state
department. to distribute state pen
sions on a restricted basis until ex-
pected federal funds became avail
able. These funds would be used to
supplement state pension money,
with $50 being the maximum total
per person payment.
Indications are that the county will
thus be forced to include in its bud
get a pension item, despite the
transfer of various pension revenue
funds to the state.

Predict Finish
OF New Income Tax
States Personal Levy Will Be Be-
fore High Court Later In
October

OLYMPIA, Sept. Is De-
feat of Washingtons personal in
come tax in the state supreme
court, which will hear arguments on
the tax case October %, was pre-
dicted freely here today.
Tax experts, unwilling to be
quoted directly, said they believed
the 1885 income tax had no more
chance of standing up in the SUI
preme court than the 1888 act which
was declared unconstitutional by a
five-to-four decision.
The same nine Justices will sit in
Judgment against the new law
Holconnb, Main, Mitchell, Willard
and Steinert, who voted against the
former law, and Blake, Beals, Tol-
man and Geraghty, who voted for
it.
Similar To Old Law
Tax commission officials admit
the new law is practically the same
in principle as the old one. The
1885 law was expected to yield
more than the federal income tax,
which Melted $1,984, 1899 last year.
Defeat of the state tax will cost
the state more than $2,O00,000, al
though conservative official esti-
mates here had placed the revenue
from $1,25O,lO0 to $1,5OO,0OO. The
state would boost the revenue from
it's tax by hitting all state employees,
city and county employees and school
teachers-all of whom are exempt
under the federal tax.
The new bill, sponsored by the
State Grange, which also put over
the 1888 tax in Initiative So. differs
from the unconstitutional tax in
two main features:
1. The new tax has but two tax
brackets, compared to Is gradual
tons in the old.
2. The new tax is based on the
privilege of earning an income in
Washington" while the former law
taxed the income ::sef-a mere diff
ference in legislative description.
Neither Of these differences will
save the income tax from being
turned down second time by the
supreme court, it was predicted.
However, switch of one vote in
favor would put the tax over.
The court ruled unconstitutional
the 1888 income tax because it vio-
lated the 18th amendment to the
state constitution, adopted in 1890.
The amendment says "all taxes must
be uniform on the same class of
property"
Justice Holcomb in his majority
opinion held income was property,
