G. 0. P. ADVISORY COMMITTEE BACKS ' INDIANA TAX LAW

The Republican platform advisorycommittee. In session yesterday at Indianapolis, Indorsed the state tax law

and "pledged toe 72nd general assembly to make any modifications that experience may demand after a fair and impartial trial." The committee, in the only specific revision recommended, urged the exemption of household goods of a certain value from taxation. Memorial Building Favored The committee also recommended "immediate and united support for the erection of a state memorial building commensurate with the services and sacrifices rendered by Indiana soldiers, sailors and marines." Among other important state questions the committee urged the enactment of a blue sky law that would "protect the citUens from unscrupulous and irresponsible stock dealers;" the institution of a national and state budget system, and increased salaries for teachers. The Etand taken by Senators Lodge, New and Watson on the League of Nations was indorsed and President Wilson was "condemned for arbitrary dictation." The committee favored a program of international understanding. A small standing army was in

dorsed, but the committee took no

action on universal military training. According to the statement issued at the close of the meeting, the commit

tee favors "a small standing army

with a trained citizen reserve, with recognition of universal obligation to serve during war." Ed. O. Paul, of Cambridge City, and

Rudolph Leeds, of Richmond, are

members of the committee. ThirtyHjjht of the fifty members were pres- . tnt. i 1

Farm Federation

The farm federation is gunning for the Nolan bill at Washington, and Wayne county passed a resolution of protest at the late meeting of the county executive board, but did not appoint any one to represent our

farmers at Washington, the matter

having been left to the Indianapolis headquarters. With reference to this bill, Theodore Davis, of Greenst'ork, president of the Wayne county federation, said:

"This tax upon lands, which, in case

the bill becomes a law, taxes every farmer owning more than $10,000

worth of land, would cost Indiana farmers owning 150 acres of land an average of $225 per year. This is a tax designed to build up the revenue

of the federal government, for which

no local benefits are conferred what

ever, except as a partial payment of the cost of the various agricultural and other departments and bureaus

of special benefit to ruralists. As all

of these are also of general benefit,

in greater or lesser degree, it would

appear to be a discriminatory tax upon a plentifully burdened class of

our people.

"Farmers look upon this tax as an injustice and all farm organizations, state and national, are opposing the

passage or this bill."

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

A new sweet clover developed by H. D. Hughes, of the Iowa experiment station "may revolutionize tie cropping system in the corn belt." Any farmer sending a stamped envelope will receive 100 seeds free, in order that this new "annual" may bo widely scattered and tested. An Omaha editor states that "In the first field trials it grew to a height of 44 feet

in 3 months, while medium red clover grew to a height of less than 5 Inches." He continues by eaying that thia clover has grown to a height of 5 to 7 feet in a season. . About Food Production. A new note of warning comes from Washington. Henry A. Moehlenpah. member of the federal reserve board, asserts that the agricultural outlook is "really Berious." He wants money and credits mobilized to strengthen the weakest spot in our present economic program, and "put behind the farmer." Mr. Moehlenpah fears decreased farm production and claims that food conditions are grave on that account, and cites the scarcity of farm labor. He further warns the city man to get back of the farmer with money and credit, to avoid still higher food prices next winter, and "so that the things needed to feed the world may be supplied as abundantly as possible." , Farm Prices Relatively Low. A Washington press correspondent wires: "Bureau of Labor statistics, as revealed from week to week, conclusively show that for the past 12 months, the prices of what may be called raw materials delivered from the farms, as distinct from retailed foodstuffs, have increased much less in price than any other group of articles." Dr. Royal Meeker says that "because of under production he sees no immediate hope for any material decline in prices." A $24,000 Angus Bull. Secretary Charles Gray of the American Aberdeen-Angus association, re

ports the purchase of the best "doddie"

bull available in Scotland, and that

the buyer, Dr. J. I. Huggins, of Tennessee, cables that it cost him $24,000

and is to be shipped at once. The

Aberdeen-Angus men are an enthusiastic bunch and there are some good

Angus herds in Indiana. Perk Much Cheaper. JDo you know that May pork. Belling at around $36 per barrel today, sold at $53 on April 16 of last year; also that May lard now worth about $19 per 100 pounds, sold at $30.40 on same date, and that short ribs at $18.20 are $10.75 per hundred cheaper than then?

Binder Twine Actually Declining, Cheering News

For County's Farmers

A commodity baa actually been discovered that is cheaper now than it was this time last year. Binder twine la the first product that has Ehown

any tendency downward.

Prices for binder twine in this

county were as high as 23 cents a pound last year. Although the retail price has not yet been definitely de

termined, local dealers predict the price per pound probably will be 17 or 18 cents, with a maximum of 20 cents. These prices are based on a good grade of twine, which runs 500 feet to the pound. Inferior grades that do not come up to this standard will no doubt sell for less than 17 cents. Although the local dealers are not expecting a large sale this year on account of the s carcity of wheat, nevertheless the drop in price will mean a great saving. The price of twine is now back to a pre-war level. Since rope and all forms of cordage have advanced in price so rapidly, the decrease was unexpected and can not be accounted for. It is reported, however, that there is an abundance of binder twine and that keenness of competition among manufacturers causedv the drop. ,

COAL DEALERS WARNED NOT

TO BID OPENLY FOR COAL A warning against the practice of bidding in the opening market for

coal, when a very serious shortage exists, which will result in sending

the price to exorbitant figures, has

been received by local coal dealers in the form of a circular letter sent out

by the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants' association. It is next to impossible for retail dealers to buy coal at any price because of the great demand and a fast diminishing supply. They are urged not to bid against factories who will pay any price for steam coal, because his Interests and those of his customers can thereby be best protected

WASHINGTON There is an old Baying that, while money can not buy happiness, it can buy a good imitation. This may be true, but nothing that is not genuine can endure. The imitation soon becomes shorn of its attractiveness. In "His Wife's Money," a new Selznick picture, Marion Phillips seeks to buy happiness for herself and husband through the use of her personal riches. Richard Flint, played by Eugene O'Brien, is too much of a thor

oughbred to live on his wife's wealth, and when the two are married trouble

follows when Flint learns that hla

wife's money is helping to pay their

expenses. Eager to test Marion's love, Flint proposes they go West to work a gold

mine. But the rugged West does not appeal to Marion, and when temptation to return to her old life presents itself in the allurements held out by James Cardwell, a former suitor for her hand and -money, she goes back East. How Flint returns to the East and through bis Wall Street operations ruins Cardwell. and how he finally learns that Marion- has never ceased to love him, makes a screen story that is filled with action, suspense, heart interest and every necessary element of the silent drama. "His Wife's Money" will be seen at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow. MURRETTE
