EMPLOYMENT IN STATE HIGHER Increases In Indiana 33 Per Cent Over Same Month Last Year Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 20. — (U.R) Despite a decline in industrial activity during August, employment in Indiana increased 33 per cent over the same month a year ago, the current issue of the Indiana Business Review, published by the Indiana University Bureau of Business Research, reported today. Department store trade for the month made more than the usual seasonal gain with total August sales well above a year ago, the report said. "August employment was 9.3 per cent higher than in July,” the review continued. "Two factors were largely responsible. A large number of workers were employed by firms adjusting schedules to conform with NBA regulations, and a special effort was made by i various organizations to divide work in order to reemploy all former workers. "Much of the early increase hi I payrolls was applied on debts and did not result in a real increase in purchasing power. Consumer spending in the state expanded during August, however, but industrial; trends in general were i downward. “Drug store trade improved. New passenger car sales made more thair the usual seasonal gain to a point 8.1 per cent above a year ago and 24.5 per cent under normal. Post office receipts gained." HIGHER STATE REVENUE AIDS COUNTY UNITS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) lowing table, showing the amount of money each school unit will receive during 1933 and 1934, after the common school fund credit has been deducted: Union, $970; Root. $2379; Preble, $612; Kirkland. $3411; Washington. sl,974; St. Marys. $2,981; Blue Creek, $1,356; Monroe, $4,982; French, $2,179; Hartford. $3,100; Wabash. $5,617; Jefferson, $2,613; I Decatur, $12,672; Berne. $5,742. These credits, based on the valuations in each township and in Decatur and Berne, mean that if the revenue was not obtained, the tax rates would be higher in each one of the taxing units. Auditor Cowan figured that the amount of increase in the rates [on each SIOO would be approximately the following in the townships. Berne and Decatur: Union. 11c; Root, 14c; Preble, 4c; Kirkland. 30c; Washington, 9c; St. Marys, 21c; Blue Creek, 16c; Monroe, 26c; French, 21c; Hartford. 30c; Wabash, 32c; Jefferson, 30c; Decatur, 90c; Berne. 40c.

Tertns of the loan are that the money is to be spent in the United States for the purchase of American goods, wheat, copper, cotton, aluminum and machinery. The projected deal is remarkable inasmuch as the United States does not officially recognize the Soviet. However, with the closer relationship bound to result from such business dealings, observers say, ; t is only a matter of time until diplomatic relations are resumed between I the two countriea.

In normal years the bulk of the flies have emerged and died by the time the wheat sown on or after these dates is 1 above ground. These dates are early enough so that wheat sown within ten days thereafter does not | usually suffer from winter killing I and produced larger yields and bet- ' ter quality grain than wheat sown ' earlier. It is especially important to have a well prepared .seed bed in a good state of fertility and good seed, says Davis.. This Is especial- ! ly true in the northern half of inI diana where the chinch bug threat- | ens as a major pest in 1934, beI cause a good uniform stand of wheat is less favorable to the development of the chinch bug than a weak or spotted stand.

WILL ENFORCE INTANGIBLETAX State Tax Board Promises Strict Enforcement Os Law Indianapolis. Ind., Sept. 30 — (UP)- Strict enforcement of the state Intangibles tax law was promised today by the state tax board. Annouaoement of the drive to collect on several million dollars worth of untax u intangibles was made at a meeting of tax commissioners and their special field nepFt sentatives. "The law empowers the tax board to take whatever steps are deemed nec n ßsary to uncover untaxed intangihlee," chairman Philip Zoercher explained. Persons suspected of concealing intangible property may b j brought before the board and examined un--1 der oath. Albert F. Welshman, member of the board, told the field representatives. “General unfamiliarity with the intangibles tax and a disposition, built up through years of ignoring tax s so far as intangibles are con cerned, has resulted in several million dollars worth of intangibles being untaxed,” he said. Welshman also warned of the stiff penalties provided for failure to pay the intangibles tax.
