WARNS FARMERS ON
BUYING SEED CORN
1885 Crop Not Expected to
Grow, Official Says.

Due to the high moisture content
of seed corn when harvested last
fall, and also to the extremely low
temperatures during the past WIN
ter, very little of the 1885 crop will
terminate, Ivan j. Sours, seed divi-
sion manager of the Indiana Farm
Bureau Cooperative Association,
Inc, announced today.
'This situation has created mad
scramble for seed corn, resulting in
extremely high prices, ranging in
many instances from So to $40 a
bushel. AS the season advances, a
more liberal supply of 1884 seed
corn appears to be available. This
corn shows good termination.
Farmers should be very careful
regarding the purchase of seed corn
from territories where seed would
not be adaptable to the state. Truck
loads of southern Missouri and
western Nebraska corn are being
sold in Indiana. This corn is not
suitable for Indiana planting, &C
cording to advice from Purdue Uni
versity," said Mr.. Sours.
"The Cooperative Association,
continuing the same thoroughness
as in the past, is assembling stocks
of seed corn of known origin and
adaptability for Indiana farmers"

holding company structures. 1t
began to have that effect.
If Corporation A paid Is per
cent corporation tax and then paid
dividends to Corporation B and
Corporation B had to pay taxes on
those dividends, then the additional
tax could be avoided by Corpora
ton A being absorbed into Cor
poration B, thus simplifying the
corporate structure.
THOSE who urged this tax
l. were disappointed that it was
not made larger. They hoped it
might be increased and thus speed
UP the process of corporate simpli-
Hcation. But even as matters stood
the law was having very marked
effect. The many plans for re-
ducing the number of subsidiary
corporations in vast corporation
webs was due in no small meas
ure to this tax.
Under the proposed plan this
tax is Of course abolished. When
Corporation A pays a dividend to
its holding company, Corporation
B. the dividend shall go into its
net income, according to the COM
mittee report.
1t will there be taxed only to
the extent that it is held IN sur
plus.
The effect of this, of course, Will
be to speed up the distribution or
earnings, but there will be no
longer any incentive or pressure
on the holding companies to SIM
plify their structures.
TINE bill has not yet been passed
Il and, of course, it is not too late
to remedy this. But it is difficult
to see how it can be remedied un-
der this new theory of taxing only
SURPRISES.
There is one other aspect of this
bill. 1t definitely scraps the prin-
ciple so long supported and finally
recognized on all sides, of taxing
corporate dividends at the source
and at higher rate than personal
earnings either through personal
services or personally managed
businesses. Should a reactionary
Administration come into power it
is certain it will modify this tax
bill.
The Democratic Administration
will have played into the hands of
reactionary Administration
Democratic or Republican - by
abolishing the higher corporate tax
rate. All the new Administration
would have to do would be to re-
duce the surplus taxes to bring
about a tremendous decrease in
total corporate taxes.
The more one looks at this bill
the more it looks like, not a states
manlike effort to deal with the
problem of taxes as a social meas
ure, but an effort to get at a few
pet hates of the Administration

INITIATION FEAR
STILL PRESENT,
GROUP AGREES
But Bankers, Economists,
Professors at Odds as
to Remedy.
By United Press

a
NEW YORK, April 4.-The
Academy of Political Science today
had closed its se.ni-annual meeting
with bankers, economists and COL
lege professors, all agreeing that the
United States is threatened with
credit initiation, but disagreeing on
what methods should be used to
control it.
James Harvey Rogers, professor
Of political science at Yale Univer-
sity, said that initiation was inevi-
table only as long as the budget
continued to show further deficits.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, Chase Ma
tional Bank chairman, suggested
immediate higher Federal Reserve
requirements as a check against in
flationary tendencies before they
got out of hand.
Insists Easy Money Vital
Russell c. Lefflngwell, partner of
j. P. Morgan g. Co., disagreed with
Mr.. Aldrich, insisting that easy
money was necessary for recovery
and that the governments fiscal
and monetary policies must be such
as to increase, not decrease, the
income of the people if the budget
is to be balanced.
Professor Rogers pointed out that
the power of the Federal Reserve
Board to raise legal reserve require
ments by 100 per cent should be
sufficient to forestall anything ap-
preaching uncontrolled credit in
hation-provided that power is eff
fectively exercised.
International Stability Stressed
Continued budget deficits" Mr..
Rogers said, required continued
Treasury financing. Treasury financ-
ing at reasonable rates requires
easy and plentiful money conditions.
But all checks to imitation are based
upon reversing our easy-money
policy and turning it into a tight
money policy"
George l.. Harrison, president of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, emphasized the Importance of
international monetary stability as
a means to an international gold
standard.
World trade must be maintained,
he said, to maintain econon..'c sta
bility and to produce a higher
standard of living.
ut may be true that nation can
live within ITSELF" he declared, "but
the price of complete nationalism
must be lower, not a higher,
standard of living"
