New York, Nov. 2-Where the Farm Journal, in its final newspaper and radio release in the 1926 psesl- dental election said, "Mr. Hoover will undoubtedly Do elected" and in .leS2 said Governor Roosevelt will undoubtedly carry Tuesdays election" no such unqualified pre- diction can safely be made this year, says this farm magazine.
 For the first time since ioi6 the result of the election is not clearly foreshadowed by this farm.to-farm poll. The tabulation of electoral votes based on ie%,o00 personal in- terviews with farmers In 3A import- ant states gives Governor Landon 277 electoral votes to le0 for PreSi- dent Roosevelt.
 But it must be called that these figures Include practically no town or city ballots, and it iB certain that in many states tho urban vote will be cast In opposition to that Of the country. Thus in such states ss Ohio and Missouri the Farm Jour nal expects the city democratic vote to offset, partly at least, republican maporities on the farms. In Iowa this magazine expects New Deal

 If the Literary Digest's great map poll can Do taken as correctly showing tho trend of urban voting, 1t should be possible to predict the result of the election, in connection with the Farm Journals rural poll, with something like confidence. This method would, for example, estab- lish Maryland and Oklahoma as un- quetionably democratic, Pcnnsyl- vania and Michigan as unquestion- ably republican.

But you may be sure the Kansas governor has learned Q lot about machine politicians.
 These politicians had begun to recognige that the tremendous back swing of sentiment against the New Deal would swing just SO far and that there remained . great residue of Roosevelt popularity.
 Of course the campaign wasn't anything like the state campaigns of 1884. when many Republicans saved their skins by endorsing the New Deal. But it became obvious In some states that z. Q. p. candi- dates would do we'll not to allenate all the Roosevelt voters, many of whom would otherwise split tickets.
 Simultaneously, numerous Dem ocratic candidates for state office who had thought they'd be running ahead of the national ticket began to realize that for better or worse they were in for . ride on the Roosevelt coat-tails.
 Put On Candidates First
 In Indiana, republican leaders were repeatedly heard asserting that their gubernatorial candidate, Raymond Springer. would run at least 5000 votes ahead of Landon and they seemed to be shedding no tears or taking any drastic efforts to prevent that.
 Tn Michigan, National Chairman John Hamilton was reported to have protested the preferential stress z. 0. D. leaders were laying on re- election of Governor Fitzgerald, and Frank Murphy, besought by New Dealers to run for governor to help Roosevelt, seemed sure to run behind the president.
 Candidate John Bricker In Ohio was mentioning Landon but casually, knowing that many Roosevelt voters would support him against democratic Governor Martin L. Davey, Jesse Barrett republican candidate for governor

schools, although most observers re-
gard the enactment of a real property
tax as improbable.
1t is definitely known here that the
Advisory Budget Commission, which
has been working for several weeks
now on its tentative revenue bill,
which the law requires it to submit
to each new General Assembly, has
devoted considerable time to a dis
cussion of a State tax on intangible
PERSONAL property. Some observers
here think the Commission may re-
commend such a tax and include 1T
in its new revenue bill. But whether
the budget commission recommends
such a tax or not, it is generally
agreed that since the new constitu-
tional amendment was adopted per-
hitting the General Assembly to class
ify property, the Forthcoming legisla-
ture will undoubtedly consider such
a plan.
Authority Given.
For as result of the enactment of
this amendment, the General Assem-
bly, now has authority to enact legis-
lation classifying all types of property
and at different rates. Until this
amendment was enacted, the Consti-
tuition required that all intangible pro
perty, if listed, be taxed at the same
Gates as real property. The result of
this was that very little intangible
property ever got onto the tax books,
so that the counties, cities and towns
got virtually no revenue from the tax
on intangible personal property.
9 ~ cir
ever, that since the legislature can
now tax intangible property at a diff
| ferent rate from tangible and real pro
! perty, that it could levy tax of one
half of one per cent, or even one
fourth of one per cent on bank de-
| posits, savings accounts, stocks. bonds
! notes, mortgages and so forth, and
/ get a large amount of revenue from
/. such tax. While the law requiring
| the listing of intangible property has
been more or less ignored and not en-
| forced for years because the tax rate
! on this type of property was regarded
! as confiscatory, the belief is that
| most of this property would come out
! of hiding if reasonable tax should
be imposed.
! Might Check Bank Deposits.
| For instance it is pointed out that
| the General Assembly could pass q
law making it compulsory for all
| banks to furnish the State Depart
! ment of Revenue with a list of de-
| posters and the amount to their credit
on any specified date and also require
| the banks to deduct the tax due from
| each account and pay it over the De-
| parement of Revenue. Thus the State
| could be sure of getting this tax, re-

Will Be Opposition.
! That there will be opposition to
! such law, whether recommended by
| the Advisory Budget Commission or
not, is generally agreed, however The
counties are expected to oppose it on
| the grounds that the State would be
invading their prerogative to impose
tax on property, even though it be
intangible. The holders of large
| blocks of stocks and bonds, mortgages
or notes are also expected to oppose
( such law, while large bank deposit
! ors are also expected to oppose it.
