Plans Under Way For Air Organization

Aero Congress Hopes to Put America to Front in Aviation at Omaha

Announcement of the terms of tax reform by te House Ways and gleans Committee continues the series of remedial business measures to which President Harding and his administration have devoted themselves from the beginning. The new bill redeems the promise to repeal the excess profits tax, removes the transportation taxes and provides better administration; and while there will be disappointment at the increasing of the corporation income tax instead of the development of some new course of revenue such as the sales tax, the changes now proposed must be regarded as of ggeat value to business from the psychological point of view. The new bill will undoubtedly be revised more or less extensively in the Senate. Meantime the process of getting away from war taxes has at last begun, a fact which will prove of utmost encouragement to many enterprises. Pending Railroad Measures The uncertainty of Congress as regards the $500,000,000 railway refunding- bill has been an unquestionable disappointment to the market; yet through all there has been a decided undertone of confidence that President Harding’s influence with the legislative body would win the day. Even though action should be deferred for a few months, as pessimists predict, the railroads, if assured of ultimate success, can wait with confidence. Distinct and continued improvement in car loadings for many industries, and estimates of net railroad earnings for July, which now run as high as $55,000,000 to $50,000,000, show that the greater confidence in the transportation outlook lately expressed is proving to be well justified. Termination of important strikes and further adjustments of rates, particularly orj exports, promise still further progress in earnings. The Business Outlook Steady movement of crops to market and to points of export continues a dominating feature in the business situation. A tendency toward better prices for many products, notwithstanding temporary ups and downs is the natural result of strong) export demands; while early marketing, induced by the necessity of meetingpast bank loans, is apparently tending to reduce the need for credit in the farming regions and to produce an unexpectedly g)ood supply of funds for current purchasing. Indications continue to improve in the textile trades, practically normal conditions being predicted for the autumn and winter in these directions. Some pessimists in the steel trades forecast e continuance of depression extending ftito the autumn and winter in then own line of business, but improvement in building conditions as well as im railway demand seems likely to bring . recovery sooner tl}an is thus predicted. Varying" conditions in corporation earnings are reflected in the reports ' of-TTeSefar"Motors amT’somcT'bffiers which show improvements over last year, as contrasted with discouraging earnings returns in other cases. A very hopeful element in the existing outlook is the remarkable maintenance of the purchasing! power of the growth of dry goods businesss in the Chicago district in an amount estimated at 35 per cent above last year. Building operations in many parts of the country have shown a substantial improvement which has brought July transactions as reported by the Bridge Builders and Structural Society to about one-third of shop

capacity.

Money Banking and Exchange Federal Reserve officials have given every assurance that the general banking position was never better. Meantime, the continued inward flow of gjold is raising the general reserve position of the banking system practically to pre-war levels. This influx, which during the past week has again added several millions to our net gold, is now involving a movement from South America. Combined with fresh Gex’man reparation payments and speculation in exchange, the situation as regards the purchas- • ing power of foreign currency has been growing so serious as to gtjve rise to the Administration’s tentative proposal for an exchange conference to be held simultaneously v/ith the disarmament conference. The rapid depreciation of the mark and of the various currencies of Southern and Eastern Europe adds force to the suggestion. Such a conference might result in improving some contemporary conditions, although ultimate correction of the exchanges must depend upon tax reduction and restoration of governmental solvency throughout Europe. Meantime the continued absence of any definite system of financing foreign trade and the growth of our one-sided “favorable” balance almost unavoidably tends to make exchange quotations less stable than they otherwise would be. The needs of Europe for our food stuffs will rather tend during coming months to accentuate this state of things. Market Review and Outlook Midsummer dullness in the stock market has continued to be characteristic during much of the week. Reduction or passing of dividends continued in some prominent instances and the fact that business is still uncertain regarding Federal tax anc tariff policies have been factors working, against much improvement in prices. Special attacks upon industrials, such as the oils and rubbers by bearish traders who have felt that there was a profit in such tactics have caused temporary depressions. Except in special issues which arc contending with conditions peculiar to themselves, the sinking spells that are frequently taking place are due more to professional activities than to genuine liquidation. Whenever thi market becomes oversold, as has been the case during the past several days rebounds can be looked for due to short coveringi In the long run a higher range of- values will no doubt be brought about, as underlying con-

DROWNED BY TIDE Dublin—While reading on the Black Rocks of Ballybunion Miss Florence Nolan was swept away by the suddenly rising tide. She was drowned. AID FOR UNEMPLOYED London—Local train lines have been requested to grant free fares before 8 a. m. to all persons looking for work.

JAP ORDERS FOR U. S. Tokio—Japan has placed contracts for large quantities of Welsh steel and tin. Practically no government orders are going) to America now, but big contracts probably will be placed in the United States when the Yap muddle is straightened out.

Omaha, Aug. 25—Formation of a national air organization with the idea of making America the foremost nation in aviation is expected at an international aero congress sponsored by the Aero Club of Omaha, to be held here November 3-5, at which time a reunion of aviators who served in the American and allied armies during the world war is to be held for the first time since the armistice. The reunion, which is to follow immediately after completion of the national convention of the American ’egion at Kansas City, will bring together many of the American aces, while delegates from every state in the union are expected to attend the meeting for forming the nation air organization. At the same time a complete exhibit of every type of aircraft manufactured in this and foreign countries will be held, while another feature of the' gathering will be an aviation meet with nearly $15,100 offered as cash prizes. Attempts for new speed and altitude records rre to be made. Among entertainment features will be the bombing of a French village and a battle in the air.

Will Eliminate Ohio Middlemen

Ohio Farm Bureau Discusses Way To Abolish the “Feeder.”

Plans for a,“feeder” and “stocker” exchange to eliminate from the farm; ers’ feeder cattle, especially in southdealings with each other the middlemen, two shipping freights, yardage and feed charges, have been approved by the livestock committee of the Ohio Farm Bureau federation and the Ohio Livestock Shippers’ association. If this proposition is carried out, the farmer who desires to buy, sell or exchange stockers or feeders will be broug|ht together with other farmers and the 'transaction, completed without handling charges or commission. This is to be done through the managers of the county livestock company by the farmers informing him of their wants. Heretofore, according to F. G. Ketner, livestock and gjrain marketing director of the federation, western Ohio, have been in excess of the local demand and have found their way either to the central or western counties of Ohio or to the Pittsburg market through buyers. Mr. Ketner makes the statement that many stockers are bought on the Chicago and Kansas City markets, necessitating the payment of tv/o freigjhts, one from the grower to the market and the other from the market to the buyer, with chai'ges for yardage, feed, commission, etc., thrown in. Arrangements have been made whereby the Society of Equity will get the northwestern cattle and sort and ship them to Ohio direct through the medium of the county livestock associations.

Places for Cabinet Members In Congress

Bill Provides That They Shall Attend at Least' Two Sessions Weekly.

Washington—Members of the president’s cabinet would be entitled to occupy seats on the floor of the senate and house with the right of participating in debate on matters pertaining to the business of their respective departments under a bill introduced today by Representative Kelly, Republican,' Pennsylvania. The cabinet officials would be required to attend senate sessions Monday and Thursday and house sessions Tuesday and Friday to give information asked by resolution or in reply to questions of members of congress. CHECK IS FOUND Barton - on - Humber, Engj. — Dr. Charles A. Beck, who came here from France, died recently from blood poisoning, caused by stepping on a tack.

WILL LIVE TO BE 125 Worle, Eng.—Frederick W. Stabbins, who was born fifteen months before the battle of Waterloo, has just celebrated his 106th birthday, rle declares he will live to be 125.

BAN ON BIG HATS London—Rev. B. G. Bourchier, vicar of Hampstead Garden, told his fashionable congregation that the large hats now being, worn are “appalling and irreverent.” Most of his women parishioners have adopted mantillas in place'of hats as a result. $2,000,000 DOCK THEFTS Melbourne—The Royal Commission on Dock Pilfering reports that in 1920 dock thieves stole merchandise worth $2,000,000. Closer supervision and elimination of marks indicating the nature of boxes’ contents are recommended. WHO IS GETTING IT? Sydney—The New South Wales gold fields are producing about 33 per cent more glold than they did a year ago. 6,000 MILES FOR THEFT Beirut, Syria—Lionel Wiet, arrested for the theft of $50,000 worth of icwels from Joseph Smouha in Paris, confessed that he had followed Smouha for 6,000 miles about Europe before he got an opportunity to steal the jewels.

Tiie Long Distance Telephone Builds and Saves Business

The busy man has found it to be one of his greatest helps. By its use he can make appointments, give instructions and make reports, conduct selling campaigns and close important deals. The use of Long Distance service is indeed a great economy. Use this mode of selling, then when your deal is all closed and you figure the net profits you will not have to deduct for traveling expenses. The cost is infinitely small compared with the results you can obtain. Give the service a trial—it is at least worth that much to you. “Long Distance” will gladly explain the “Station to Station^ service and the reduced evening and night rates. You can save 20% and more. Indiana Be!! Telephone Company
