ASKS FARMERS TO BACK FIGHT FOR CONVENTION Taylor Points to Need of Care in Selection of State Lawmakers. Condemning the 1929 legislature for its 25 per cent tax increase, Lewis Taylor, director of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation’s tax and legislative division, today appealed to farm bureau officers throughout the state to favor legislative candidates fn the primary who advocate a constitutional convention. “Members of the farm bureau never were more interested in the character of the men who are to represent them in the next legislature than they are this year,’’ Taylor declared in a letter to officers. “The next legislature must provide means for raising more taxes if the requirements of the state are to be supplied. “The last legislature increased state taxes more than 25 per cent. This means many thousands of dollars increase in taxes to the farmers of most counties. This will be repeated again unless interested citizens, rather than politicians, are

elected to make our laws. The farm bureau will fight any further increase of property taxes. “As the question of a constitutional convention, to which the farm bureau is committed, will loom large in the coming campaign, we urge you to give preference to those candidates who favor such a convention." That proponents of a constitutional convention must wait another two years before a referendum can be held was made certain when state election commissioners explained in the newly-printed laws, that the 1929 bill setting the time for the referendum never became a law. This was because of a clerical error in the sesrate engrossing room, whereby the title of the act was not made to agree with its contents, resulting in the Governor's refusal to sign it. Experiments in raising Belgian flax in Egypt have been so successful that it may entirely replace the native variety.
