FARM INCOME GAIN
AVERAGES Z PCT.
80 States Show Increase,
With IS Getting Less.
Indiana Leads.

Farmers in 80 States received more
income from sales of principal farm
products and Government rental and
benefit payments in the first quarter
Of 1885 than in the same period in
1884; farmers in is States received
less. and income Of farmers in Texas
was unchanged, according to the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics. A
gain of - per cent is reported for all
States combined.
Largest increases this year over last
were In Indiana and surrounding
States where feeding conditions have
been relatively more favorable this
year, and where the increase in rental
and benefit payments was largest.
Heaviest decreases in income were in
North Dakota, where wheat marketings
were greatly reduced, and in Maine,
where potato prices were less than
one-third those of a year ago.
Two Areas Suffer.
The bureau says that in all regions
except the South Atlantic and South
Central States income in the flrst
quarter Of 1885 was higher than for
any similar period in the last four
years. In the South Atlantic States
receipts were below either the first
quarter of 1884 or the first quarter of
1882. In the South Central States re-
ceipts were below 1884 and above 1882.
New England States, except Maine.
show an increase Of II to 20 per cent
In income the first quarter of this year
compared with last, due chiefly to
higher prices of dairy products. There
were moderate gains in the Middle At
lantic States where larger income from
dairy products more than offset re-
duced income from crops.
East North Central States enjoyed q
marked increase in income the firSt
quarter of this year. largely because OF
heavier feeding of livestock during the
past Winter. Supplies of feed grains
were reduced by last Summers
drought in this area, but much less
SO than In other principal feeding
areas. Also, hog prices the first quar-
ter of this year averaged more than
twice those of year ago; marketlngs
Of higher priced cattle were larger
than usual, and rental and benefit
payments were considerably increased
this year over last.
Maryland Among Gamers.
Maryland, Delaware and West Vir-
ginia are the only States in the South
Atlantic group to show increased in
come in the first quarter of this year
The decrease in the remaining States
Is attributed to less money from to-
bacco and cotton dus to earlier mar
ketings. In Kentucky and Tennessee
higher tobacco prices maintained the
income from tobacco despite smaller
production; income from live stock
feeding was increased; and rental and
benefit payments were larger.

re-roofing to the tune Of about go
per cent of the total roofing sales each
year.
THE Federal Housing Administra-
ton has had a great deal to do with
the quiet stimulation of expenditures
for repair and modernization work on
all kinds of buildings, and it is OBJ

and under that plan will have far
reaching effects-long beyond the end
Of all current campaigns"

AirConditioning
Manufacturers Join in De-
signs for Service in Low
cost Prefabricated Houses.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

Air conditioning will no doubt be
q built-in feature of the new pre-
fabricated houses which are now re-
ceiving a great deal Of publicity
throughout the country.
Numerous manufacturers are join
ing forces in the design and develop
ment Of these low-cost housing prof.
ects and already there are a number
built and more under construction.
The great impetus given the low
cost housing field by the Government
and other interests has done much to
cause the attention now being focused
upon it, not only in this country, but
abroad as well. The manufacturers
are cooperating with all Of these
organizations, as a tremendous mar
ket will be open to them if the public
will take to the pre-fabricated idea.
Huge quantities of steel, aluminium,
composition wall boards, electric wir-
ing equipment and other materials
used in these houses will be needed if
the prospective cheap-home owners
will forget the traditional forms Of
architecture and demand the modern
design" structure.
AS these homes Will incorporate
absolutely the last word in mechan-
dcal equipment it was natural for air
conditioning to be practically the
nucleus about which these houses are
built.
To Centralize Equipment.
One group which has made great
strides in the development of this type
OF house has devised a unit, in con-
junction with large electrical and
equally large heating corporation,
which will centralize the entire me-
chanical equipment Of the structure.
The various devices, which are
usually spread out all over the house,
with the bath room in one part, the
kitchen in another and the heating
equipment in still another, will all
be gathered together in one location.

IF you believe all you read in the pretty girl
l. toothpaste advertisements you are due for
terrific shock if and when you read Paying
Through the Teeth" by DR.. BiSSel P. Palmer
Vanguard; 81.
For instance there isn't any toothpaste or
mouth wash made. says DR.. Palmer, which can
brighten off what even your best friend can't
tell you. DR.. Palmer, by the way, is former
president Of the American College of Dentists,
with both fists.
He gives names, picks advertisements apart,
and tells you what is in the toothpaSte prepara-
lions so well advertised He gets warmest under
the collar when he swings into those tooth prep
arationS which claim to whiten the teeth. 1t
can't be done roars DR.. Palmer, without de-
stroying the enamel and permanently injuring
the teeth.
And the pay-off comes when the good doctor
tells his readers that the officials of company
making a toothpaste which "cures" pyorrhea
are themselves afflicted with that very thing.

NOT so FUNNY

MANY of us smiled yesterday. at the story
4VA that told of the plight of Rising Sun,
Ind. where the citizens, who expected a dis
tillery to be constructed. found themselves the
victims of an alleged fake check artist
On the surface the story Of people becom-
ing excited at the prospects of sudden pros
perity. only to md themselves f1lched, may be
amusing. But underneath the mirth is story
that borders on the tragic.
When the day has come in this nation that
people lose their heads over the prospect OF
some little financial gain, then something is
sadly amiSs.
There were people in Rising Sun who were
thinking and talking of abandoning little bust
nesses, their small farms and other enterprises
to get Jobs in this new distillery.
That is a bad sign. 1t is not an indictment
of the man who is alleged to have fooled these
people but an indictment Of social system
that makes the men and women of this state
and nation susceptible to such schemes be-
cause their chosen occupations are not sufh-
Gent to give them the privileges of life.

CRUZ OF TAX-EXEMPT ISSUE

WE had set aside this space today to dis
w cuss the question of a constitutional
amendment eliminating all tax-exempt secur-
tiles. and to urge that Congress anticipate the
amendments adoption by Immediately declar-
ing future Federal issues subject to Federal
taxation.
What We had intended to write might have
been too shril for pleasant hot-weather read
ing. So we publish instead a cool, objective
analysis prepared by that unconventional and
highly respected economic research agency, hte
National Industrial Conference Board.
1t follows, in part:
The existence of large volume Of tax
exempt securities in a country in which high
income tax rates are imposed is thoroughly
undesirable A substantial amount Of income
escapes taxation entirely and even an approx
mate application Of the principle Of ability TO
pay becomes impossible.
The corollary effects are equally impor-
tant Rates for Federal and municipal credit
are favorably affected. since the basis Of an
investors comparison with other obligations is
the net yield rather than the gross yield. Elk

PART OF THE JOB

MEASURES effected yesterday by the rules
A'A committee of the A. A. A. and the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway Corp, will insure
sportsmen a better and safer 5OO-nile race
next year. Drivers will be required, under the
new rules to negotiate so laps on the track
at speeds ranging from IS to 10 miles an
hour before they are qualified to take part in
the race elimination trials. New warning
lights will be added on the track and various
improved scientific tests will be used to insure
the safety Of the machines.
The safety precaution of demanding test
runs on the track will be important next year
because officials have dropped motor restric-
tions and the cars will be built to produce
higher speeds.
The Speedway organization, it seems, is on
the right road to safety.
Two things remain to be done. One is
remodeling of the track to permit the fullest
degree of safety at high speeds and the other
is the erection Of new. steel grandstands on
the southwest turn.
Let it be hoped the track corporation will
not delay these projects.

ing for cash? If so, who is re-
sponsible when creditors can not
collect their accounts and why
should the taxpayers as a whole
shoulder the burden of litigation
which costs them millions of dol
lars annually as a result of at

What is the total aggregate in

this country, counting the bonded
Indebtedness of governments and
all classes of petty accounts
(grocers'. doctors. butchers and

exaggeration to assert that it must
run into more than twice the
value of the aggregate tangible
assets of the whole country? If
there is no shortage of money"
why is not that Indebtedness
being liquidated?
Why have SO many hundreds of
municipalities, townships and
counties issued various forms of
scrip" and how much better off
would anybody have been if that
recourse had not been taken?
If there is plenty of money
why is it not being lent out to
the many millions of families who
are destitute and to many hun
dreds of thousands of owners of
industrial establishments so they
might put willing hands to work,
that there be purchasing power"
so we may forget there ever was

ways than one to kill q cat. These
professors are dependent on the
producer to bring in the bacon on
the hoof. If these farmers process
their own, in farmer-owned estab-
lishments, they can control their
own business, as does the manufac-
turer of steel
The government could lend the
farmers morey to build cooperative
packing plants and warehouses. 1t
could also set up an Agricultural
Purchase and Processing Corp, as
it set up the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, with power to contract with
farmers for specified quantities of
commodities at fixed prices. If one
branch of this corporation we're set
up in each of the 300 counties of
the states, to handle all types of
farm products, the cost Of distribu-
ton Of these products could be cut
drastically for the consumers.
Having tasted the pie, the farm
ers will not likely sit by while the

organization and will likely put the
professors into the frying pan.
Edward Filene says it is imma-
terial as to what Congress or the
Supreme Court does about a New
Deal, because we will have some
sort Of a New Deal despite all the
opposition.

THE CONSERVATION ROW

CECRETARY ICKES has fathered and sent
- to Congress bill to change the Interior
Department into the Department of Conser-
walton and Works. and thereby has stirred up
another of those internecine rows for which
he is becoming famous. Secretary Wallace, the
Forest Service, Clifford Pinchot and others
dare him to take the business of tree saving
and growing from the Department of Agri-
culture.
Now comes Arthur Newton Pack, editor
of Nature Magazine in the role of peacemaker.
Why not, he asks, turn over to Mr.. Ickes de-
partment custodianship of non-organic re-
sources such as coal, oil, gas and metals? And
let the Department of Agriculture keep watch
over such organic resources as grass, trees,
fish. reindeer and wild life?
Why not, indeedP The conservation of
non-renewable resources is an engineering
problem, akin to that of building public works.
The conservation Of renewable resources is one
of growing and outstanding and is, therefore.
related to agriculture.
Certainly there is need ot a regrouping
of conservation activities. These are scattered
now in many departments and often work at
cross purposes We see the Bureau of Rec
lamation building power dams and cutting
off the migration of salmon; the Forest Serv-
ice regulating grazing in national forests and
a new Grazing Division doing it another way
under the Taylor Act on the public domain;
the Bureau of Education managing reindeer
raising in Alaska; the national parks in the
Interior Department and the national forests
under Agriculture; the Bureau of Fisheries in
Commerce and Biological Survey in Agricul-
ture.
But regrouping should not be done by the
old method of grab-aS- grab-can. More i'm
portant than some temporary secretary's
power and prestige is the saving Of our vanish
ing natural wealth.
Let us, by all means. reShuf1e the conserva-
ton cards. And, perhaps, out of it we can
get a new deal for ourselves and posterity.

cessive borrowing by political units must in
some degree be attributed to the exemption
feature. Moreover, government and private
business can never be on an equal basis in the
capital and credit markets. so long as tax
exemption is continued Inevitably, therefore,
there is a tendency for government to take
over certain activities that might otherwise be
left to private enterprise
1T is now obvious to students Of Federal
taxation that tax-exempt securities should
have been eliminated by a constitutional
amendment at or about the time the sixteenth
amendment was approved"

REQUESTS PROBE OF
TRUSTEE INVESTIGATORS
By a Reader

By Reader
Allow one Of your daily subscribers
and loyal boosters to voice his ap-
probation for the courageous stand
you have taken in combating the
evils as practiced in the Marion
County Courthouse. Such public
service as is thereby rendered by
your paper certainly calls for the
commentator of all good and re-
spectacle citizens. May your just
rewards be commensurate with the
benefit derived by people at large
whom you are so Splendidly serving
And now, Mr.. Editor, may call
your attention to another glaring
evil which the light of publicity can
not help but lessen to some degree
1t concerns the manner in which
that vast unfortunate army of IN
employed are being handled by So
called social workers." Your in
formant is personally familiar with
the activities of many of these
workers and for cold blooded, tact
less and unprincipled investigation
most of these people are without
parallel.

age herself, married to a mar

absolute knowledge of this woman

at Self-support. She declared to
them electricity was unessential in

was obligated to help and assist.
Nothing, it seems to the writer
can be more CALLING to these poor
unfortunates than to have tactless

1t will be found on investigation
that the hard, low-paying relief jobs
are peopled, for the most part, by
the deserving. Nobody else wants
them. But it will also disclose that
the investigators and the easier
higher-paid jobs are peopled with
such investigators as this woman

It's a pleasure to give.
And knowing youths is the fate
