FARM REGIONS BENEFIT
Increase Shown in Cash Receipts
From Sales in November.

by UNIIeH PFtSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. - The
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
announced today that all regions
shared in a considerable increase"
in cash receipts from sales of farm
products in November as compared
with November, 1884.
Receipts averaged rs per cent
more last November than in the cor
responding period of 1884, the bu-
reau said. Receipts from marketings
during the first II months of 1885
were II per cent greater than dur
ing the same period in 1884, with
all regions except the South Atlantic
showing increased income.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-01-18

wholly QlIIeT-
ent problems in tax liquidation.
In the first case, the trouble
arises out of the necessity of SELL
ing a large part of the assets to
raise sufficient cash to pay the
death duties. In a number Of
cases there will. be no serious prob
lem because the market is good, the
estate is small, the holdings di-
versified.
But in many cases there will be
grave difficulty because the mar
ket is poor and all values are
down and this may be intensified
by the size of the state with the
consequent depressing effect on
values of large scale dumping.
TN SUCH CASES, Mr.. Scripps
Il proposes that the government
accepts, instead of cash, notes for
the taxes running for Is to Is years
and armortized in annual pay
ments.
First of ALL the very nature of
certain estates will present diff
culties. Obviously If the govern
ment accepts note for the taxes
it will require a pledge of the assets
or a large part of them as security
for the note. In this case distribu-
ton of the estate will be held up
for many years.
This may amount to but little in
some cases, but where there are
many heirs, widely separated, who
want early liquidation this will be
very difficult. What is more, there
is the question of public policy in
volved in a process which tends to
hold estates intact for a long time.
TINE old question of mortmain
Il rises to plague us. Certainly
it is the general policy of our pres
ent laws not to encourage the
crystalization of decedent estates
but rather to encourage the dis
memberment of them.
Of course the government could
not afford to take notes if the
estate were distributed to the heirs.
The governments taxes would then
be at the mercy of the manage
ment of the estate by heirs, often
quite inept at business.
But as the estates and the heirs
ought not to be unnecessarily and
fruitlesSly penalized by being
forced to inopportune liquidation
OF their assets, would the purpose
not be served by the government
accepting obligation of the estate
for period say of five years at
most?
THIS would give the executors
Il time to bring about a slow,
gradual and orderly liquidation of
so much of the assets as might be
necessary to pay out to the govern
ment.
Even here, Of course, the govern
ment's decision IN any given estate
ought to be flexible, SO that the
government would not be forced to
forego collection On a declining
market with the prospect of per-
haps serious loss through the mis-
taken judgment of the heirs and
executors as to the course of the
market.
I would say, therefore, that the
proposal for acceptance of. estates
notes secured by proper liens or
pledges over periods of five years
rather than Is or Is ought to be
studied for its possibilities. The
case of estates made up of owner
ship and control of a single large
enterprise presents still another
problem.

Copyright. 1886. by Associated Pressl
BERLIN, February l9.-The official

promised reprisals today against a
Swiss decree, banning Nazi organiza-
tions in Switzerland.
The German nation regards the
Bern decision as a challenge that in
deed cannot remain without proper
counter-measures," declared the ma
tional Sozialistische Partei-Korre-
spondenz.
If the Swiss administration, with
out just cause, deprived Germans resi-
dent in Switzerland of the possibility
Of free organized union, then not
only are Germans in Switzerland hit,
but the whole German people, who
would regard it as reasonable if the
measures proclaimed at Bern be ap-
piled to Swiss living in Germany"
Call Decree an Insult.
Under the heading "Berne Provoca-
tion," the Korrespondenz called the
Swiss decree, arising from the assassi-
nation at Davos February of Will
helm Gustloff, leader of German Nazis
in Switzerland, a violation of every
legal concept and an unexampled in
suit to National Socialist Germany.
They are trying to dissolve Nazi
units, the leader of which was the VIC
tim Of an insidious murder" the pub
lication said.
Therefore, it involves a diplomatic
step which, under international usage,
has always meant conscientious, earn
est action"
Adolf Hltler's newspaper, Voelkischer

with Switzerland were hit by the Swiss
Federal Councils defiance Of Ger

Declares Relations Injured.
Good relations between the two
countries will not be served by this
act" said Der Fuehrer's personal or
gan. THE decision Of the Swiss Fed
eral Council is so contrary to simple
justice that one is inclined at first to
question the truth of the news"
Other Nad newspapers demanded
dissolution Of Swiss organizations in
Germany as the first reprisal.
Nazi authorities ordered the German
minister at Bern to make special in
quirieS into the reason for the ban.
The propaganda ministry indicated
that II satisfactory answer is not
forthcoming, the case will be severely

WHITE HOUSE NEWS.
MEN TO TESTIFY.
Secret Service Man Tells
of Accident Iniuring Con-
nor and Wife.

Newspaper men who "cover" the
White House were to appear as wit
nesses in District Supreme Court today
to testify in the $4,000 damage
suit brought by Frank w. Connor,
veteran correspondent for the New
York Herald Tribune, against the New
Dominion Stages Co. for injuries he
and his wife sustained four years ago
in an accident as they were accom-
panying President Hoover on a Rapi-
dan fishing trip.
Robert S. Allen, political commen-
tator; George w. B. Hurd Of the New
York Times and George Durno. Inter-
national News Service. were to take
the stand.
Connors Testify.
Mr.. and Mrs. Connor yesterday
described the accident to a jury in
the court of Justice Joseph. w. Cox.
George Drescher. secret service man
detailed to the White House. said
President Hoover. with a five-car
caravan, was proceeding to his
mountain fishing camp when a bus
cut into the procession directly behind
the Presidents car. That was on
the Leesburg turnpike as they were
approaching Fairfax, he declared.
He told the jury that the second
car, in which he was riding, increased
its speed, but 1t was more than a
mile before 1t came alongside the
bus and he Signaled the driver to
get out of the five-car line.
Car Is Overturned.
AS the motorcade was being re-
aligned, Connor's car was in collision
with the bus and was knocked of
the road and overturned.
Robert Pickens. Associated Press
correspondent, demonstrated to the
jury how the accident occurred. With
toy automobile and a toy bus, he
used board on the floor as the
roadway and showed the positions of
the machines.
Although Connor has recovered
from his injuries, Mrs. Connor still
is under care Of physicians.
