‘Little Farmers’ in Indiana Boosted
Production
More Than State Average
chil
THE CASE OF THE MARGINAL FARMER has been .. overlooked in planning for increased food production. Just like in the awarding of war contracts, the little fellow is not considered until the big concerns ‘have. all the work they can
. take’ care of.
Now that method may be the quickest and surest way of getting increased production. I'm not arguing that point now. But when you get to the point that every machine in every factory counts and every acre of soil capable of growing food is needed, then you must consider what the below-
average factory or less-efficient farm can contribute.
It
: would seem that we are now at that point.
The farm security administration, which is the government agency that has been helping margoal, farmers get on their feet, claims the “little farmers” have contributed more proportionately to increasing food production than the average farmer has. Here are the figures the FSA has to substantiate its claim: There are 8552
Mr. Budrow farmers in Indiana who borrowed from the FSA last year. This number is only 4.63 per cent of all the farmers in this state. Yet here is what FSA farmers did, in comparison with the average (including FSA farmers) produced: FSA farmers’ increased milk production 18 per cent against the state average increase of 6 per cent; increased pork production 34 per cent against a state average of 23 per cent; increased /egg production 24 per ce nst/a state average © cent; increased beef production 39 per cent against a state average of 17 per cent; increased chicken production 29 per cent . against a state average of 2 per cent, and increased soybean production 71 per cent, the same as the state increase. The first reaction of those favoring the larger farmers to such com‘parisons as those is to say that ¢ percentages are sometimes mislead“img (as they certainly are). They say there was room for more improvement on the small FSAhelped farms because they are . small, inefficient, their land was generally poorer and thus improved more by fertilizers. Undoubtedly true. But perhaps that is just the place where the chances of increasing production are all the greater, therefore. “This 46 per cent of Indiana 3 farms last year produced 18 per | eent of the increase needed in milk Be 8 per cent of the pork 3 per cent of the increase in eggs, 3 per cent of the called for in beef, 8 per - eent of the increase called: for in “>ehickens and 7 per cent of the inEras. sought in soybeans. “* “Obviously the margi TTY ‘far more than their share in step4ping up food production in this Ad state last year. If Secretary Wick‘ard is sincere in saying that food will ‘win the war and help write the ~ % peace, he cannot overlook such an achievement as that already chalked Hp by the little fellows.

STARR STRIKES CHEERFUL NOTE
Indiana Financial Prospect ‘Not Discouraging,’ Economist Says.
: Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Feb. 1 (U. P.).—George W. Starr, Indiana university business analyst and economist, is not as gloomy as some about the financial prospects of Indiana’s state government. Dr. Starr forecast today that gross income tax receipts for the current fiscal year “should be as large as in 1942,” that taxes of alcoholic = beverages, second largest
receipts, should this year “exceed|® those of the last fiscal year” and concluded that in the fiscal year beginning July, 1 the state’s revenue prospects are not discouraging. Analizing the state’s financial situation, Dr, Starr pointed out that “the welfare of the general fund of the state government depends principally upon two taxes—the gross income tax and the tax on alcoholic beverages,” the gross income levies producing 60 per cent of the revenues for this fund, alcoholic beverage. taxes 10 per cent, and various sources such as property and poll taxes, inheritance tax, insurance fees, and transfer of funds from highway fees: making up 15 per cent.
No Drop in Gross Tax
“Wages and salaries in Indiana in 1942 were more than one-third larger than in 1941,” said the I. U analyst. “Agricultural income in 1942 was nearly $200,000,000 larger than in 1941. Gross income taxes from these sources are paid largely on an annual basis and the rise in receipts from personal incomes and agriculture should show up in the
| receipts in the first quarter of 1943.
““Increased wage payments should increase the gross income tax receipts by $1,500,000. Increased taxes .on the income of agriculture should, if collected, produce another $1,000,000 at least. Despite the loss of the automobile and refrigerator markets, retail trade in 1942 was about 10 per cent better thap in 1941. Although a better estimate can be made when gross income tax re-
ceipts for January and February.
are tabulated, it now appears that the gross income tax receipts for the fiscal year 1943 should be as large as in 1942,
More Liquor Taxes
“The only other source of revenue for the general fund over which there can be any uncertainty is the alcohol beverage tax, There are indications that the consumption of alcohol beverages may be curtailed in the months ahead, but
such curtailment is not warranted
by the inventory situation. In the ast half of 1942 the consumption of alcoholic beverages was about 20 per cent larger than in 1941. “It is doubtful if the consumption of liquor will be restricted enough in the rest of the present fiscal year to more than offset the increase in consumption which took place in the first half of the fiscal year. For these reasons taxes from alcoholic beverages in the present fiscal year should exceed those of the last fiscal year.”
Gas Tax to Fall
Though “less positive about the revenue prospect beyond next June,” Dr, Starr asserted that “on the whole it appears that the volume of retail trade in dollars may be little different from 1941 at least and .in the meantime the income of agriculture and wage earners will rise rather than decline.” He added that “if alcoholic beverages are not withheld from the market in anticipation -of higher prices the revenues from the alcoholic beverage tax should continue at the level of the past few years,” Dr. Starr estimated that for. the current fiscal year gasoline taxes should be about 25 per cent less than in the past year, or about the equivalent of the amount which last fiscal year was spent on new construction. In this connection he pointed out that the reduction in
but the percentage of “A” rationing cards is larger in the east than in the Middle West because of the more adequate public transportation facilities in the East.

Auto Dealers Optimistic = About Immediate Future
+" Indianapolis automohile dealers, caused by the stoppage of new car manufacturing, appear to be optimistic regarding the immediate future of their business. New cars are still being sold, of course, to those lucky enough to get a permit but this group of buyers accounts for only two or three per cent | of the. dealers’ normal volume of sales.
are the 1942 models and are drawn from the large stocks the dealers had on hand when the “freeze” order became effective. It might be added that these cars have been given special care as prescribed by the federal government. H. F. Crowe, vice president of C. H. Wallerich Co., Inc., distributors of Chrysler and Plymouth cars said: “This treatment includes thorough demothing of inferiors; bring ‘tire pressures down to 10 pounds: blocking cars up off the floor; draining gas and oil and filling with rust proof fluid; covering all chrome and nickle finish with a specially prepared grease to prevent discolora-
tion or corroding and covering the|Bord
car completely with a heavy canvas. Dealers feel that cars handled in this manner are just as good when finally sold as they were the day they left the factroy. Dealers stocks are inspected by the government to see that all regulations are followed.”
Service Departments Busy Service departments are enjoying
an unprecedented boom. Mechanics) 1; Nicy, ‘have been lost to war production/IntT & T

placements have been made. John Hedges, vice president of

mobile as a transportation necessity Phillips Pet
with the result that new parts are
again being produced by the manu- B
facturers and the partsishortage is now relieved. It is true that service can not be as promptly rendered
today as in the past due to a large 8
backlog of repair work on hand. “However, the public is urged to have cars checked regularly in order that their usefulness be maintained and so that needed small repairs are not permitted to develop into major overhaul jobs. There is a total of 27,000,000 cars on the road and when one considers that approximately 3,000,000 are junked annually it is not difficult to realize the importance of caring for our present cars in order to maintain the transportation necessary for our great war effort.”
Buy Used Cars
Used car stocks are quite large— dealers are buying used cars in sizable numbers. Most of their purchases are from men being called to the service and the balance tome
from the East and South Where gasoline rationing is more severe. For the most part these cars are very late models with the result that used car display rooms are beginning to look like they were filled with new cars. Prices are somewhat higher than . they normally would be due to the fact that new car competition is almost entirely gone. Jack Maurer, president, of Maurer Motors Inc. reports that “usegl car sales are becoming much more brisk following the slow-up caused by gasoline rationing. The public is rapidly learning the importance of the automobile and even the motorcycle as a means for getting to and from work and shop-
ping trips, in order not to tax pub-|
lic conveyances beyond their limit. Our stock of cars today it largest we -have had in nearly two
years and oun stock of motorcycles E

PROFITS LOWER
$65,400,000 Ref Refunded to Government on War + Contracts.
Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 1. Bendix Aviation Corp. reported today that its war production last
| year increased to 20 times that of
pre-war levels and that one-third of this increase was in new types of devices not even on the market in 1938 and which were developed] in the corporation’s own laboratories. President Ernest R. Breech, in the annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, said net income was $12,464,196 or $5.90 a share against $13,267,988 or $6.30 a share in the previous fiscal year. In - discussing the decline in profits, Mr. Breech said “we reduced our prices as soon as we were .able to determine our profits with a reasonable degree pf accurady. At the outset costs obviously could not be forecast due to the complications of manufacturing under radically changing conditions involving the
2% opening of new plants, the estab-
lishment of many sub-contractors and the finding of thousands of new sources of supply.” Price reductions made in the year totaled $123,000,000, he added, arid the company refunded $65,400,000 more through renegotiation. : “Without being agle to give any assurance as to the future dividend policy,” Breech continued, it is our conviction that the stockholders of Bendix Aviation Corp. are entitled to a substantial return on their investment in view of the fact that through many years of development and pioneering of our highly scientific aircraft instruments and other devices, they had faith in the future of this corporation.”
WAGES 1s DUE]
Bituminous Coal Union to Demand More Than 'WLB Formula.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (U. P.).— Expected demands by 450,000 bituminous coal miners for a. $1-a-day wage increase without regard for the war labor d’s “little steel” wage formula may touch off a showdown controversy this week on the wage section of the administration’s anti-inflation program. President John IL. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, who attacked the WLB’s wage formula last week _| along with other labor leaders, "| meess the UMW’s policy committee tomorrow to draft demands for a new contract with soft coal operators. The bituminous coal miners’ contract expires March 31. Anthraciteccontracts expire a month later. In addition to the fight over wages, there are increasing signs that the bloc in congress which seeks to enact restrictive labor legislation is ready for a preliminary test of sentiment of the new congress. The first labor bill receiving committee approval was the Hobbs to bring labor unions within the scope of the anti-racketeering law. Hobbs Bill Attacked
President Philip Murray of the congress of industrial organizations last night denounced the judiciary committee for approving the Hobbs bill with “unseemly haste.” He charged that the committee was dominated by groups which for years “have attempted to foist this kind of legislation on the public.” The bill would amend the 1934 antiracketeering act to subject ‘labor unions to its penalties by broadening definitions of the terms “robbery” and “extortion.” Other week-end labor developments included an appeal by President William Green of the Amercan Federation of Labor to keep America’s work week at 48 hours and a nromise by War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson to give laknr more representation on the WPB, Green approved Increasing the work week from 40 to 48 hours, provided overtime is paid for all hours over 40. But he doesn’t: want the work - week: extended beyond 48 becavse “unduly long hours are in-
variably followed bv an increased|
absenteeism due to fatigue and illness.” WLB Divided
But the test of the WLB’s wage policy will he the major problem of labor officials until a decision is reached Even: the board members are divided on it. The basic issue is whether the “little steel” formula has become obsolete as a result of the sharp increase in living costs since the United States entered the war, The formule provided for a 15 ver cent |Z increase in wages to meet increased living costs between Jan. 1, 1941, and May 1, 1942. Labor department statistics, show that living costs during the year after Pearl Harbor increased 19 per cent. Even labor ledders are divided. Green, for example, fears that relaxation of the wage ceiling will lead to rynaway inflation. Lewis
