The answer usually goes like
this:
1T has died temporary pre-

After he announced the plan on

campaign, making speeches before
luncheon clubs and taxpayers
groups, while the council staged
a series of public hearings to

TOO HOT TO HANDLE
Unhappily for both the mayor
and council they learned tn at
public reaction just wasn't good
Nobody denied Detroit needed the
public improvements the tax
would provide, but wage earnerS
already felt they were being short
changed every time they got their
pay checks and lists Of pay de-
ductionS. and public leadership
hodged about endorsing an addi-
uonal tax.
t5vcrybetiv suddeufv realized
that this was one question which
was a little too hot 10 handle
until all the votes were in and
counted on oct. ; and Nov. 3.
Maybe il could be revived with a
little hypodermic injection after
every one was safely back in
office. but not now.
Although spokeSmen ar council
public hearings haze demanded
that the tax be decided by a ref
crendum vote of the people there
appears little chance that this will
be done.

added:
LET us not forget about those
individuals who lived in a commu-

boom, tax and bond Indebtedness
skyrocketed. When defiation oc-

The high level of farm market
activity and price inreases have
been accompanied, the Bureau of

sharp drop in foreclosures, a rapid
depletion or exhaustion of farm
real estate holdings of credit agen-
cies, and a growing interest among

gency period Since the grange
meeting, bill embodying this rec
ommendation has been drafted by
the Farm Credit Administration, an
agency under Mr.. Wickard's control.
The measure is expected to be in
troduced in Congress soon.
The grange convention went into
the matter of rising land values, but,
after lengthy discussion, came out
with resolution which said, in
effect, that the buyer of land should
beware. 1t warned farmers, how
ever, against going into debt for
land bought at increased prices.
Some other farm leaders are be-
ginning to show interest in measures
to control the land boom. Earl
Smith, president of the Illinois Ag-
ricultural Association, says that one
OF the best suggestions yet offered
provides for the enactment of a
law authorizing the recovery by the
Government of 80 per cent of the
profit made upon the second sale
of land after a certain date, pro-
viced such sale was made within one
year after the date of purchase;
80 per cent if within two years, 70
per cent if within three years, and
son on, with the law automatically
expiring after a certain date, pos
sibly five years after the close of
the war"
Sees No Time to Be Lost.
A number of farm papers and
have started campaigns
for governmental action. One OF
them, Wallaces' Farmer, published
at Des Moines, Iowa, said in a re-
cent editorial there is no time to be
lost. 1t carried a feature story
showing that an average Iowa hog
farm could not be paid for at normal
hog prices if bought at inflated land
prices.
Failure of some farmers or farm
organizations to get excited about
the situation has been attributed
to reports that much of the activ-
ity in the land markets comes from
nonfarm groups looking for a place
to invest excess purchasing power
and income.
Mr. Wickard has an answer for
farmer Indifference.
I'VE sometimes think" he said.

Specter Of Collapse
After Last War
Seen in Land Boom
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fears are being expressed by farm
leaders in and out of the Govern
ment that the land boom and COL
lapse pattern of the World War may
be repeated unless present trends
are halted.
Their concern is based, they say,
on the fact that the price of fam
land is one agricultural price which
has not yet been brought under con-
troll.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics has just reported that the
average value of farm real estate for
the country as a whole increased
13 per cent during the past IL
months.
That was said to be the highest
the boom year of 1919-20-a year
during which skyrocketing farm
commodity prices led countless
farmers and nonfarmers to par
ticipate in a mad scramble for land
at any price.
Values on November ! were said
by the bureau to be A per cent
above the 1888 depression low and
80 per cent under the 1920 in
f1ationary peak. While the in
crease for the country as whole
was 3 per cent between July and
November, increases as great as 6
per cent occurred in a number of
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast
States.
Further Advance Seen.
And the bureau says land prices
will advance further in 1914 unless
measures are taken to control them.
Various measures for govern
mental control affecting the farm
real estate market have been dis
cussed during the past year. But
1t was not until lately that the
problem was taken seriously.
Among the measures suggested are
limitations on mortgage credit, tax
Ing of speculative gains or profits
made from the resale of farms, tax
Ing OF land transfers and control of
sales by means of permit system
Although warnings of a possible
runaway land market were first
voiced more than year ago it was
not until few weeks ago that Off
cial recommendation for govern
mental action was made. The rec
ommendation came from Secretary
Of Agriculture Wickard
Secretary Wickard first became
worried by the situation months ago.
He called in farm organization
leaders for conferences on the prob
lem. He sought to get them united
behind an antiboom program, but
met with little success. He let the
matter ride along for several
months, hoping that the advance in
prices might level off or that others
would get interested in a program
of some kind
Neither happened.
At a recent convention of the Ma
tional Grange at Grand Rapids,
Mich, Secretary Wickard came out
fatty and asked farm groups to get
behind antispeculative legislation
for agriculture sake as we'll as the
Nations sake.
Wickard Cites Parallel.
There are some very definite in
dications," he told the farm gath
ering, that farm land prices are
gong up like they did during and
after the last war"
He recommended legislation which
would impose a stiff special tax on
during the war and postwar emer-

Refused by Britain

In 1890 AS we have seen, the
reborn China of Chang kaf-shek
realized that an attack by Japan
was inevitable.
The question was how TO defend
against it? China had neither
the money nor the materials and
crafts TO build a navy capable of
challenging the ambitions Of Toxic.
It had the manpower for a large
army, but lacked the industries to
equip this manpower for modern
war. Chang felt. however. that a
strong air force was a practical
possibility.
Accordingly, after the invasion
OF Manchuria, he asked the British
government 10 install q military
aviation system for China The
British declined on the ground
that such n move might be frowned
on in Toxic.
Chang then turned 10 the
United States government, which
agreed. after considerable parley
10 send an unofficial mission "a
