JARDINE CITES INDIANA TAXES TO SHOW EVILS Secretary Reports Farm Deserti6n Has Been Checked. By Roscoe B. Fleming: Times Staff Corrcsvondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 —Conditions In Indiana are cited as an example of the disproportionate weight with which State and local taxes bear down upon the farmer, In the annual report of Agriculture Secretary Jardlne, made public today. According to a department study, Indiana farmers paid 66 cents out of each tax dollar to the counties and townships in 1923 for school and road uses alone, he said, and a study made In Monroe County in 1922 showed that State and local taxes took 59.6 per cent of rents from farms. 200 Per Cent Jump Jardlne points out that taxes on property alone must always bear heavily on the farmer, and cites increases of from 100 to 200 per cent since 1914. ‘‘There is no justification for taxing only property,” he says. “The great volume of income from other sources, which now escapes taxation for State and local purposes in many parts of the country, could well be called upon to bear part of the total tax load. Broadening of the sources of tax revenue is a matter of great concern to farmer. The taxes now levied on agriculture are more capable of exercising a depressing effect than taxes on almost any other class. Agriculture Convalescing “One of the most important factors is the tendency to improve local roads and schools largely at the expense of the local districts. Both have outgrown their local surroundings, and the states should face the highway and school problems frankly, and determine upon methods of financing according to the benefits which those institutions confer upon the state as a whole.” Speaking generally, Jardine says: “Agriculture as a whole is convalescent after a long illness. All farm production represents an advance in gross income from $11,300,000,000 In 1924 to $12,1000,000,000 in 1925. Areas selling wheat and hogs benefited particularly. The gross income is well above those of past seasons but below normal years. Farm Exodus Checked “The heavy movement from the farms to the cities has been checked, the net loss being 180,000 persons from the farms against more than

WELDED IROM POPULAR NOW, SHOP REPORTS Sheet Metal Works Cites Varied Jobs Are Turned Out. At H. E. Dorsey's sheet metal shop, 555 S. Delaware St., special sheet metal jobs, covering a remarkably wide range for cafeterias, bakeries, factories etc., are constantly turned out most satisfactorially. “In fact, the range of our work is so varied, that no two jobs are ever alike,” remarked Dorsey. ‘‘ln the last, several years, our business of special job work has grown enormously, and we’re finding that black iron welded products are largely taking the place of galvanized and soldered work. We have every equipment in the shop to turn out excellent work. Our electric spot welder takes care of a lot of jobs and is found to be much more economical than the old way of riveting.” Dorsey ha* recently taken over the general management of the Peerless dishwashing machine, of whose company he is president. These dishwashers are manufactured under Dorsey’s supervision, at the S. Delaware St. shop. The construction of the Peerless which eliminates repair cost and adds to economy of operating are hound to make the dishwasher an ever growing success, Dorsey said. Many users of the Peerless are equally enthusiastic with him] DONAHUE SHOP HELPS SHOPPER Luncheon Makes Christmas Buying Trip Easier.

COURT ACTION AIDS CASUALTY POLICYGROWTH Insurance Has Made Great Gains in Ten Years, Says Adjuster. “Casualty Insurance has wonder fully increased in the last ten years,” Clyde Bowers, claim adjuster for Foster and Messick Surety Bond Company, 400 Fletcher Savings and Trust Bldg., remarked today. “The volume of business written today is five or six times that of a few years ago. The "principal reason for this is found in the increased tendency of courts and juries to compensate those who have been injured—often regardless of facts. Publicity following these judgements advertises casualty insurance widely.” "The compensation law is greatly responsible for publicity. Large recoveries of money because of accident have educated the public to make claims in size and number that formerly never would have been considered, or brought to a conclusion. "The surprising sums of $5,000, SIO,OOO or even $50,000 as compensation for the loss of an eye or a limb, is a frequent newspaper note nowadays. All the means of wide and quick communclation—radio, telegraph and telephone which mark our decade, help to educate the public and make it conversant with facts regarding casualty Insurance. Hence, the increase in volume. Or/ * Children's WbrK Especially Mam 1301 HO7 Oil fellow
