HOG PRICES UP
5 TO 10 CENTS
Cattle. VeaIs Unchanged;
Lamb Values Again
Move Higher.

The pork market, supported by
sharp decrease in receipts, recovered
slightly in early trading at the In
dlanapolis Union Stockyards TODAY.
The market was generally 5 cents
higher, with underweights up 10
cents. Few classes, however. re-
manned steady.
Receipts were estimated at 1000,
compared with 5000 yesterday. Hold
overs continued heavy at 1879, indi-
eating slightly weak demand pre-
vailing for the various classes. Trad
ing developed slow at the opening
and buyers were hesitant in making
early purchases. Several awaited a
definite trend.
The bulk of 100 to 225 pounds
sold at $40 to 1855, while heavy
butcher classes cashed in at 1925 to
$40. Extreme heavies scaling 300
pounds and upward, brought $685.
to $3.50 Light slaughter pigs,
weighing 100 to $50 pounds, were
salable at $685. to 1885. Good pack
ing sows sold at S7.75 to $3.50.
The cattle market maintained a
steady trading range. Most classes
of steers were valued to sell from
1878 to $1,000 Some were slightly
higher Heifers ranged from s525
to SO. with few equivalent to $40 for
strictly choice kinds. Beef COWS
brought S425 to Sc. Bulls sold at
$4.25 to Sc. Receipts were 900.
Vealers also continued stationary
with only little activity evident.
The bulk of good and choice kinds
sold at $1,000 to s11 Receipts were
600.
Lamb prices again showed sharp
improvement. marking the third
consecutive advance. Native grades
were steady to largely 25 cents
higher. The bulk of good and choice
eve and Wether lambs was salable
at 1913 to $1075. Fed western kinds
were around 10 cents higher. with
the bulk holding at $1,000. Slaugh-
ter sheep sold at SO to S. Receipts
numbered 1000.

DROP IN TAXES
|. BRINGS FEDERAL
REVENUE LOWER
Failure of Treasury
Collect S15O,0OO,O0O
Threatens Budget.
By ! njtcd Press

bH : NffU BTfSs
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Failure
Of the Treasury to collect more than
Sl50,000,0 900 IN processing taxes
since the start of the current fiscal
year on July / today raised a seri-
GUS threat to the Federal govern
ment's budgetary plans.
Because of the loss in revenue the
Treasury reported today that total
government revenues in the first 1872
days of the current fiscal year to
Nov. 9 were slightly under the cor
responding period of last year, al
though the budget calls for a S670,-
100000 gain for the full fiscal year.
Total Federal revenues up to Nov.
9 comprising more than third of
the fiscal year, amounted to ST.
341 ,005, 430, compared with s1,341.-
6o8.823 in the corresponding period
last year.
Budget Calls for Higher Income
The budget called for total in
come of S4,470, 34914 for the full
fiscal year, compared with $780,
467.202 in the preceding fiscal year.
1t was conceded that full proc
essing tax collections would have to
be obtained if the government was
to realize the revenues provided for
in the budget.
Collection Of the processing taxes,
however, rests in test suit over the
conStitutionality of the AAA pro-
gram now before the Supreme Court.
1t was believed more than a month
would elapse before this question
could be decided.
Other Tax Collections Up
The Treasury reported total pro-
cesSing tax collections from July
to Nov. 9 at only $50, POI POI COM
pared with $210,216.200 last year, a
decrease of S155,014,528.
This was the only important
source of Federal revenue to show
a decline. Income tax and miscel-
laneous tax collections as we'll as
customs are showing wide gains over
a year ago.
The loss in processing taxes. how
erer, has thrown the burden Of the
crop reduction program onto other
tax payers, Processing tax collec-
tons are far under the S195 ,958,656
cost of the AAA pogram since
July l.

COM MISSION CHECKS
FARM INCOME RETURN
Probe of Corporation Earnings Or
dered in Washington.
By United Press

D y CHtItU ETfSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The
Federal trade commission today
sped it's inquiry to determine wheth-
err farmers are getting fair re-
turn on their products.
The investigation is being carried
out under the Wheeler resolution
approved by the Senate at the last
session. 1t ordered the commission
to investigate and report on the
income of corporations handling
farm products, showing whether
such income increased or decreased
in comparison with farm income.
Thousands of missionaries were
sent to wheat purchasers today,
seeking financial set-ups and bal
ance sheets of the companies, and
records of purchases and prices paid
for wheat.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-14

Here's what the court did:
|. Refused the plea of James
Walter Carter, coal company opera
tor, to intervene in the District of
Columbia Supreme Court proceed
ings where he is challenging validity
of the Guffey Coal Control Act.
2. Refused to hasten considera
ton of the legality of processing
taxes unoer the AAA amendments
Action in Guffey Case Significant
3. Insisted that the government
be given a free hand in arguing the
test of the Bankhead Cotton Con-
troll Act brought by Lee Moor, Texas
planter. in a suit against the Texas
& Pacific Railroad.
Action in the Guffey case was
more significant than it appeared
Just before the court met, a group
of eight Louisiana rice millers ap-
pealed to the iurists to stay the col
lection of AAA processing taxes
pending an appeal in their suits
contesting the levies
In coming to the court. the mill
ers adopted the strategy of Carter's
attorneys who. a week ago. asked
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
to prohibit assessment of the taxes
imposed under the Guffey Act.
Tries to Skip Lower Court
Like the Carter lawyers, the mill
ers' attorneys asked Justice Renja-
min Nathan Cardozo to permit them
to skip the Circuit Court of Appeals
after an adverse ruling by a lower
trial court.
The Supreme Courts refusal TIC
intervene in the Carter case was &C.
copied as an indication that it is
not inclined to rush the government
to test cases. If it were to accept
jurisdiction before final decree in
the lower courts, the tribunal would
be departing from usual prece-
dent.
Of greatest Importance was the
courts refusal to consider processing
taxes under the AAA amendments
at the same time it hears argument
on the validity of taxes under the
original act.
Refuses to Consider AAA Taxes
Washburn- Crosby Co., millers
hao sought to have this step taken
although a ruling has not been
received from the Circuit Court oil
Appeals in st. Louis, where the case
is pending. Unless the Louisiana
rice millers are most successful, il
is unlikely that the court will rule
on the amended law for severa
months.
The government filed plea fol
permission to argue the Moor case
in open court. Moor's attorneys sale
they had no objection to that pro-
cedure but wanted the argument
limited to constitutionality of the
law. Solicitor General Stanley Reed
insisted that he be allowed to argue
the right of Moor to bring the
suit.
A decision on this latter ground
would evade direct ruling on the
legality of the Bankhead law

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14,-Makers
of fire extinguishers today became
the second industry in the United
States to secure Federal Trade Com
mission approval of set of trade
practice rules.
The rules were proposed last
month by the Chemical Fire Extin-
guisher Association, Inc, which
claimed to represent IS per cent

The rules are designed wholly to
do away with unfair and "chiseling"
trade practices and contained no
provisions relating to labor.

The reserves of the Federal Re-
serve System. over legal require
ments, recently passed the three
billion dollar mark. The danger
of such a large excess reserve is
that it forms basis for tremen-
dous credit imitation. For two and
a half years excess reserves have
been increasing until they are now
five times the amount that sup
ported the great credit imitation
in 1929.

The importance of it lies in the
fact that electricity on the farm
will bring into being whole army
of purchasers for the things which
the rising and expanding electric
industry has to sell.
or course people will laugh at
~ the idea of busted farmers
buying electric refrigerators, cleo
trio irons, vacuum cleaners, etc. Of
course busted farmers will not buy
them. What so many overlook is
that all farmers are not busted.
There are countless prosperous
farmers better able to buy Ameri-
can products than their country
men in town. But they do not buy
electrical equipment for the good
reason that there is no juice with
which to operate it.
Ten years ago there was plenty
Of talk about the busted farmer
Then there were only 100000 out
of 5000, 900 farms with electricity
A group in the University of Min
nesota formed a committee with a
local utility company TO do little
pioneering.
THEY extended the company's
L lines to an area called Red
Wing The line was six miles long
and there was only 10 customers at
first. The investment in these 10
farms was from $4,000 TO $4,000
each. But they had no electric
power.
OF course the farm woman hailed
the arrival of this magic force of
electricity But she was not the
only beneficiary. The first thing
these farmers did was to buy cleo
trio equipment. They spent an
average of 1914 each right away
"a pretty good bill for installing
wires. Then they spent S21 900 on
equipment.
This money was spent in 70
manufacturing establishments all
over the country. One farmer
bought % different pieces of equip
ment. And they we're not all cleo
trical Almost every one bought
modern bathroom equipment. Why?
Because without the electric pump
on the farm the modern bathroom
is almost impossible.
THE notion that money spent
A. to bring electricity to farmers
Is just another form of farm
Coddling is not true. The farmers
will get the electricity But every
dollar spent will be sent off the
farm among the industries which
make the things the farmer wants.
This Red Wing experiment was
just a model operation. 1t turned
attention to farm electricity. Now
734,000 farms get electric current
compared with 100000 when Red
Wing opened for business.
Suppose the R. E. A. can induce
another two or three hundred thou
sand farmers to use electricity?
What will that mean to the shops
in town?

The economic policy commission
found, in broad sense. that indi-
viduals were buying but corpora
tons were not. High wages, in
creased farm income, and large
governmental expenditures have

While noting strong Improvements

The reason why we have pre-

The fact remains that about 20
per cent of our workers are idle and
their numbers have not changed
much in the past two years.
I'VE have so far regained only
about half the depression losses.
Part of the losses are due to shrink

WEEK, IS BELIEF
United States and Canada
Trade Treaty Details Still
Remain Secret.
By United Press

By bnltcH Pfcss
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
long awaited reciprocal trade agree
ment between the United States
and Canada-considered the most
important yet concluded under
President Roosevelt's Yankee Trad
ing" policy-probably will be signed
before the end of the week, State
Department officials indicated re-
Gently.
Fireside negotiations were COM
pleted between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie
King of Canada during the latters
visit to the White House last week.
The agreement was announced by
both executives as a. part of their
governments Armistice Day celebra-
ton, but actual details still remained
guarded secret.
In revealing that his government
already had ratified the treaty, Mac
kenzie King said he would return to
Washington for the signing cere-
Il
made public simultaneously in
Ottawa and Washington.
Halls Agreement
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mac
kenzie King hailed the agreement
as another act cementing the friend
ship between the two nations. Speak
ing on an Armistice Day program at
Arlington National Cemetery, Mr..
Roosevelt said the pact would
eliminate disagreements and I'M
reasonable restrictions, and thus
work to the advantage of both
Canada and the United States"
Although State Department off,
Gals declined to discuss details or
commodities involved in the ar
rangement, it was understood Cana
dian marine products and possibly
lumber and agricultural products
would be given freer access to the
United States. Canada, it is be-
lieved, may revise its system of
validating American imports and
transfer long list of American
products from it's high tariff to its
intermediate tariff list.
Lumber Duties May Be Reduced
It was considered likely that if
the United States agreed to earlier
suggestions for so per cent reduc-
ton in duties on specific Canadian
lumber and agricultural products,
Canada would be forced to make
similar concessions on u. S. auto
mobiles and manufactured products.
Observers here believed Mr..
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Cordell Hull looked to the Canadian
agreement to provide new impetus
to similar negotiations with other
powers. This government regards
the reciprocal trade policy as an eff
fective method of maintaining
| friendly relations abroad.
