SHIFTING FROM FARMS TO BIG CITIES SHOWN Large Increases Reported by Towns of More Than 100,000 People. BY ROBERT C. ALBRIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 30.—A shift in population from farms and villages to large urban centers was indicated today by returns received by the census bureau from one-third of the eighty-eight American cities with populations of more than 100.000. Twenty-seven cities in this class, in fifteen widely separated states, have filed preliminary returns. Ten of these moved into the 100.000 class for the first time. Only one. New Bedford, Mass., reported a loss. It dropped from 121,217 in 1920 to 112.804 on April 1. Os the ten cities new to the 100.000 class Long Beach, Cal., showed the largest percentage gain, from 55,593 ten years ago to 141,390 in 1930. Evidence of a westward pull exerted on the population by California cities was found in San Diego’s gain of 73.214 residents. It reported a population of 147.897. Similarly, Chattanooga. Tenn., which more than doubled its population. growing from 57.895 in 1920 to 119.539 the first of last month, indicated a drift to the industrially awakened south. Census authorities regard it virtually as certain that the population centers of the United States will have moved w’est and south of Whitehall, Ind., 1920’s pivot of population. when the 1930 returns are complete.

Morrow was expected to make a formal statement at the campaign luncheon here Thursday, in view of reports that his stand for repeal of the eighteenth amendment had made him a leader of wet Republican forces. However, he confined his remarks entirely to the recent business slump and consequent unemployment, praising President Hoover for his “high courage and decision” in dealing with the depression.

ANSWER CHARGE OF FAVORTISM IN LIQUOR POLL Literary Digest to Show Leaning to Dry Side in Ballot. Answering charges of drys that ; t favored wet states wi'h the majority of ballots sent out in its recent prohibition poll. Literary Digest in Saturday’s issue will publish a table of figures indicating it leaned a little toward the drys. The tabic will disclose the apportionment of ballots to each state, as compared with the state's per cent of the vote cast in the 1928 general elecions. Indiana, with 2.67 per cent of the United States’ population, cast 3.85 Der cent of the popular vote in 1928, and received 3.47 per cent of the 20,227,370 ballots mailed by Literary Digest. Hoosiers Cast 2.78 Hoosiers cast 2.78 per cent of the entire ballot returned to the magazine. the table discloses. Kansas, leading dry state, with 1.53 per cent of the nation’s population, and 1.93 per cent of the 1928 vote, received 2.31 per cent of the ballots, and cast 1.53 per cent of the entire ballot. New York, as wet as Kansas is dry, if not more so, has 9.62 per cent of the country’s population, cast 12.11 per cent of the 1928 vote, and received 10.10 per cent of the Literary Digest ballots. It cast 11.97 of the total prohibition straw ballot. All Voted Wet or Moist In the vote, five states voted for enforcement of prohibition laws, an equal number asked its repeal, and the remainder of the states voted “moist.” with a majority for repeal or modification over the vote for enforcement. Literary Digest this week will say as its “last word”: “So. the more we look into the matter the more we discover that the Digest, in its desire to do justice to prohibition—a cause revered by thousands of our eldest readers — actually leaned over to it a few degrees, like the Tower of Pisa. “An amiable weakness for which we hope to be forgiven by all concerned.” SUE TO BAN BUILDING OF FILLING STATION Proposed Building at College and Sutherland Avenues Fought. Suit for an injunction to prevent construction of a filling station at College and Sutherland avenues was on file today in superior court two. The park board refused permit to the Lincoln Oil Company to build the station, and is seeking to block violation of the park law which gives the board jurisdiction within 500 feet of boulevards.

MANY M'OOFFY READERS FOUND Famous Old School Books Are Not Extinct. Bu Vnited Press CHICAGO, May 30—The famous old McGuffy readers and spellers, contrary to popular opinion, are not extinct, although it has been many years since they were as much a part of the schoolroom as birch rods and slates. The fact that these ancient educational aids still are saved, if not used, is attested to by the Ohio Society of Chicago, which has received more than 300 of the readers and spellers. They came by mail and even special messengers in response to an appeal published in newspapers of Ohio and other states offering to purchase the works collected and published by Professor William McGuffey. These texts were wanted for an old fashioned school stunt to be used in conjunction with the recent “McGuffey Night” celebration of the society. Charles E. Sherman, president of the society, was just as surprised as were the other members. “We expected a few and we got hundreds,” Sherman said, “some of them dating back to the ’3os and ’4os, with boyish inscriptions scrawled all over them.

TARIFF BILL TO MAKE FARMER ONE OFVICTIMS Smoot Charge of Benefit Is Refuted by Study of Commerce Figures. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripfs-Howard ForHcn Editor WASHINGTON. May 30.—The deluge of protests from every section of the globe against the HawleySmcot bill clearly indicates that the American farmer will be one of the chief victims, instead of beneficiary. of the measure, despite Senator Smoot's statement to the contrary. American business men all over the world are writing or cabling that passage of the bill will bring disaster. Senators, members of the house of representatives, the President, chambers of commerce as well as other individuals and organizations are being warned that everywhere foreign nationals either have begun, or are preparing, to retaliate against American products, agricultural as well as manufactured. Decline Is Steady Department of commerce figures disclosed that already for decades, the percentage of agricultural exports steadily has declined and. just as steadily, our non-agricultural exports have increased. From 1900 to 1905 our agricultural exports averaged 61.3 per cent as against 38.7 per cent for non-agri-cultural exports. Eight years ago they were fiftyfifty. The sales of agricultural and non-agricultural products abroad exactly balanced. Last year agricultural exports dropped until they amounted to only 32.8 per cent of the total while nonagricultural exports accounted for no less than 67.2 per centi Export Value Waning It. is not only that the United States is selling abroad a constantly increasing amount of manufactured articles but the value of our agricultural exports is, at the same time, waning actively. From 1921 to 1925 our agricultural exports averaged $2,013,000,000 a year. From 1925 the average was only a trifle over $1,900,000,000. And the general trend continues downward, the 1929 figures being only $1,693,000,000 with a still more discouraging figure for the first quarter of this year. Foreign retaliation already has set in. Observers abroad have been quick to note what is taking place. The United States rapidly is becoming one of the world’s greatest manufacturing countries and is consuming, therefore, ever increasing quantities of its own raw materials. Instead of shipping so much of their stuff to foreign lands, American farmers are selling more and more to manufacturers at home, and these, employing vast numbers of American workers, are turning out finished products for sale overseas. But now, American business agents abroad are warning, retaliation against American goods imperils all varieties of American products.

CHEST FUND EXPENSE SHOWS BIG INCREASE Six-Month Disbursements Total 839,185 Over Former Half Year. Disbursements of the Indianapolis Community Fund for the first six months of the year ending April 30 totaled $39,185 more than for a similar period in 1929. Total disbursements are listed in an audited report made public today by William H. Insley, president, as $473,999.09. for the six-month period. Heavy demands due to unemployment conditions caused the increase, the report sets out, and lists receipts of $481,289.28 over the period. Thirty-six social service organizations shared in the fund. The audited report shows the Family Welfare Society received $133,000 during the period, the Y. M. C. A. $28,105. the Y. W. C. A. $17,766.66, the Jewish Federation $24,759, the Indianapolis chapter Red Cross $14,035, the Catholic Community Center $13,580 and the Public Health Nursing Association $16,094. SMALLER REICHSTAG IS PROPOSED IN GERMANY Government’s Economy Campaign Causes Move to Decrease Deputies. ItU United Press BERLIN, May 30.—Agitation for a decrease in the number of deputies in the reichstag was renewed here today as a result of the government’s economy campaign. Election of one deputy ay every 80,000 voters was proposed as a substitute for the present arrangement whereby one deputy represents 60,000 persons. The proposed change would reduce the number from 491 to 384. The proposal was received with popular favor, especially in view of discontent in some sources with the achievements of parliamentarism, which is viewed critically by many Germans. Impartial observers, however, contend that the decrease would be “misplaced economy.” The change would alter the size of committees, preventing the usual number of sub-committees and thus hampering efficiency of the reichstag. it was argued.
