Debt Deductions

WASHINGTON JAY 81 tINSl
A plan under which individuals
would be given the right 10 deduct
payments on debts from their
Earnings for income tax purposes
was endorsed in principle today
by Senator George Cd of Georgia
chairman OF the Senate finance
committee.
George, whose committee is
holding public hearings on the
House-passed $6,300,000.000 wal
tax bal, would extend this privi-
+tege TO payments OF such debts as
on homes, automobiles
purchased on the instalment plan
or real estate which had beer
contracted for before a definite
date. He suggested Jan. l, 1912.
TAXES BLOCK PAYMENT
He said that this proposal To
permit amortization Of debts
should be extended TO corporations
as well as individuals, because
contemplated high federal tax
rates would prohibit many from
having enough money left after
paying taxes 10 meet fixed obi
cations which had been contracted
for before they had any knowl-
edge of the, extent OF the new tax
law.
George also recognized rhaI
there was "a great deal Of merit
in permitting unusual medical OF

from individual net incomes fol-

however, that "iaiy Is q different
proposition" and should not be
coupled with debt amortization

Taft Says War
Will For(eU. :.
To Paper Money
Ohio Senator Estimates
30 Billion in Securities
Must Be Sold to Banks

WASHINGTON. July 81 tfNS9,
Senator Taft tR) of Ohio, de-
clared today that war financing
plans would require the issuance,
in effect, of $4,000. 100000 OF
paper money" during the current
fiscal year, which began July /.
At the same time Senator Harry
Byrd CD of Virginia, told the
Senate a federal debt Of at least
$500, 900, 900, 900 is now inevitable.
even if Congress does not appro-
pirate a single additional dollar
for war purposes.
Taft said sale of $40, 900, 000. 900
OF government securities to COM
mercial banks, which would be
necessary under present financing
plans, would be equivalent to
printing that much paper money"
IS BILLION DEFICIT
The government expects 10 spend

fiscal year, and TO collect SPA. 000.-

O00,0 900 of war bonds are sold to
individuals-the treasury goal
Taft said SAL 900, 100000 would
have TO be borrowed from insti-
tutions. He estimates that $780,
000,000,0O0 would come from
commercial banks.
To get around the creation OF
$50, 900, 100000 of new money by
commercial banks. Taft advocated
a five-point program. the chief
feature of which would be vast
expansion of the treasury program
for selling war bonds TO individuals
nfnd corporations.
Taft's other proposals are:
Lower the floor under farm
prices III the price control act
from 10 to 100 per cent of
parity.
Give the War Labor Board
control of wages and salaries.
subject TO a limitation under
which wage increases could not

factor in the cost of living.
UNSPENT BALANCE
Byrd, opposing further war APP
preparations while the treasury
has an unexpended balance Of
Sl63, 000. 900, 900 for war expenses.
pointed out that the present debt
OF $50 900, 100000, plus the unex-
pended balance. Will give a
national debt far in excess oil
$500, OO0, 0O0,O 900. This does not
include expenditures for nonwar
purposes.
1.-THE time has come" Byrd
said, ito recognize that we have
unexpended balances TO the
credit of the war agencies OF the
government that are more than
twice As much as these agencies
estimate they can spend within
two years.
"In order 10 spend the amount

expenditures must average for

College Juniors Will
Present "Our TOlDn"

"Our Town" Thornton Wilder's
Pulitzer prize play, will be presented
by the Bluffton college junior class
at the Ramseyer chapel this Wednes-
day night and Saturday night at
$3.50 o'clock.
The play is notable for its lack
of staging properties. Concentration,
instead, is on acting, sound effects
and lighting. Four banks OF DIM
mers will be used to obtain the prop
er lighting effects.
Another unique feature of the play
is the use of the entire auditorium
as part of the stage. Curtains never
close between scenes and it is re-
ported that audiences leave the pre-
sentation without having noticed the
absence of scenery because of the
theme of the play.
Cast is as follows: Lora Schultz,
John Thutt, Paul Soldner, Lloyd
Hunsberger, Herbert Fretz, Lee Boy
er, Darwin Luginbuhl, Harold Thies-
sen, Helen Graber, Donald Hester,

Don't Plant More Than You Can Handle
Local Victory Garden Chairman Urges
Don't Let Enthusiasm Run
Away with Judgment, Ad-
vises Harry Barnes
Amateurs Urged to Stick to
Easily Grown Garden Truck;
Plan on Paper

Work in moderation, don't try to
cultivate all outdoors and stick to
easily grown vegetables, is the advice
given to amateur gardners by Harry
F. Barnes, chairman of the local Vic
tory Garden committee.
If you are an inexperienced gardener
don't let your enthusiasm run away
with your judgment in the size of the
plot you intend to cultivate. Also re-
member, said Barnes, that it's not
necessary to do all of the work in one
day.
It's not the size of the garden, but
rather the skill with which it is
handled that determines the measure
of success, Barnes pointed out.
Suit Crops to Soil
Type of garden stuffs to be grown
should be selected with view to soil
condition and size of the plot. Where
an attempt is made to cultivate more
than can be properly cared for, fail
ure of the project means a waste of
seed and hindering of the victory
gardening program.
A steady program of daily attention
to the garden will be productive of far
better results than large amount of
work done intermittently, the garden
ing chairman pointed out.
Recommended for amateur gard
eners are growing of green onions,
lettuce, radishes, beets, peas, string
beans, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes and
celery. These are suited to small
plots of ground and provide maxi
mum yield for space and labor re-
quired, Barnes said.
For Experienced Hands
Your amateur gardener is advised
to stay away from such crops as po-
tatoes, corn and melons. These all
require more room than town condi-
tions generally warrant. In addition
there are soil factors which only an
experienced grower understands, it
was stated.
Another item to be remembered is
Importance of planning the garden
on paper before it actually is planted.
The time and rate of planting for
each vegetable should be arranged so
as to provide continuous supply for
consumption throughout the growing
season and also for storage and can
ming purposes. Sample garden plans

THREE TOWNSHIP
ROADS May BE
HARD SURFACED
Plan Improvement of Eight and
One-half Miles of Highways
This Summer
Work Will be Undertaken
Provided Necessary Ma
terials are Available

Hard surfacing of eight and one
half miles of three Richland township
roads, providing materials are avail
able, will comprise the major portion
of the townships road program for
this summer, it was announced the
first of the week by the township trus-
tees.
Work will be under direction of the
Allen county commissioners with costs
of construction divided between the
county and township.
Work will be on stretches of the
Tom Fett, Rockport and Swaney roads
which now are unimproved. Plans
call for laying tar and stone chip
surface, if materials are available.
Under the program, 3.42 miles of
the Rockport road will be improved
from the Dixie highway to the Ma
poleon road.
On the Tom Fett road 2.77 mile
stretch is involved from the Dixie
highway to the Lincoln. Work on the
Swaney road will be from the South
Township Line road to the Dixie high
way, distance of 1.97 miles.
Total cost of the hard-surfacing
program is estimated at S4,177.57, of
which the county will pay $4,000.
This leaves balance of $2,177.57 to
be paid from Ireland township funds.
Work on the roads will be done by
the Allen county engineers depart
ment.

Heavy Rains Inundate Fields And
Bring Spring Work To Standstill

Heavy rains which fell in almost
continuous downpour Monday night
and Tuesday flooding fields and high
ways have brought spring tillage on
farms to a standstill.
With water standing in fields,
farmers stated Wednesday morning
that there was little prospect of out
door work this week. Oats seeding,
interrupted by rains, cannot be re-
sumed before Saturday, even if rains
stop, they said.
Because of rains this spring and
unfavorable weather conditions farm
ers In Bluffton vicinity who have
maple sugar camps have abandoned
plans to operate this spring altho
the price of maple syrup is the
highest in recent years.
