PERIOD OF PROSPERITY CUMING | GEOF O . Prellicts New Deal Experiments "‘;,,L"T g wm B‘nm !.of. e

America ig entering another period oL prosperity that will last at least two years, Roger W. Babson economist told the Boston chamber of commerce, '

“When it comes to discussing conditions five or ten years hence, though,” he said, “this is an entirely ditferént matter. Some day we have got to pay.heavily for all these New Deal experiments. Unless some revolutionary new industry develops and sweeps the nation, we must some day pay for this nomsense with much heavier taxes or printing press currency.

“In the meantime, credit inflation is inevitable,” he asserted. “This means a higher cost of living increased labor troubles and further political . unrest.” Babson viewed as the “most serious’ ’feature of President Roosevelt’s possible reelection the prcbhability he would have two appointments to make to the U. S. supreme court, but “let us not forget these mustbeapproved by the senate)” Even if the president is re-elected, he said, republicans would gain 50 to 100 seats in the house and a “regpectable number” 1n the senate. “Therefore, from the worst point of view,” he said '“the November election will bring about some changeg for the better. . . . .perhaps the safest prophecy to make today is thatwhich ever party is successful in November 1936 will be defeated in November 1940.”

Apply Now to Get Forest Areas

; Hoosier landowners who have areas suitable for timber production and wish to take advantage of Indiana’s ’torest land classification iaw. should file their applications with the Division of Forestry thig montk Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation pointec out. There is approximately a hundred and twenty thousand acres of private-ly-owned land, classified fores: land in Indiana while applications for the classification of an additional ten thousand acres are already on file, Mr. Simmons repomed. Each tract submitted for classification must be inspected to a repr:sentative of the Division of Forestry hefore it can be accepted and certifieca to the auditor of the county in whicn it is located. ‘lndiana’s forest land classification law enacted in 1921 seeks to encourage reforestation and@ timber production throughout the state by listing guch classifieq areag for taxation at a valution of $1 per cre. In return for this low rate of taxation, the owner agrees to make such forestry plantings'as may be requi‘ed to protect the area from foresf fire, and to keep grazing stock out of ths area. No tract of less than fhre2 acres can be accepted for classi.'cation. One or more tracts of classified forest land are locatej: in each county with the major acreage in sections of southern Indiana whsro soil and other co;nditions make agricu'ture unprofitable. : :

Owners of land which might be accepted for classification as forest land, can obtain applications and other informtion by addressing the Division of Forestry, Department of Conservation, State Libra'v Building, Indianapolis.
