FARMERS WONDERING HOW TO PAY TAXES WITHOUT BORROWING (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 17. How shall we pay our taxes without borrowing money, is a common question among farmers of the state, according to George U. Martin, head of the Ohio division of markets. "They are men of thrift and industry, too, said Mr. Martin, "and they are faced with this question, probably for the first time in their lives . "It is a position not of choice," he continued, "but one forced upon the farmers, through no mismanagement of their own. but as a result of conditions against which they are struggling, and from which they are seeking relief. It is due both to the extra ordinary high rates of taxation, and the prevailing low rates which agricultural Droducts are commanding. "One, who voiced tnis view 01 tne matter, is a successful farmer living in Belmont county. He has cultivated his acres for years, and when opportunities for profit were even fair, always with gain. When tax time came, he was prompt in meeting the obligations as he was all other obligations which arose. In the community he has been known as a leading and cubstantial citizen. Different Situation. "This year, the situation is different. He cannot pay his taxes without borrowing money. It is the first time in all his experiences such a situation has presented itself. He expresses his views in this way T am forced to secure money this ,

year from tne outsiae in oraer mai ii may pay my taxes when due. I have 'nil I I II p fir irpinil ,.a??s; "3?. njalbALLINb Uf LtblUN

Of course, the high freight rates are another consideration. It is costing me nearly as much to operate my farm as it did during the war, while I am receiving much less. It is not difficult to see under these conditions why I am forced to borrow money.' "Another, in Hilliard, Franklin county, says: 'I will either have to borrow money to secure an extension of time if I am to-pay my taxes. This is the first time in my life that X have had to resort to such measures.' " Methodist Officials To Discass Gospel Work fBy Associated Press)

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

NUMBER OF INDIANA LIVE STOCK IN 1922 ABOUT SAME AS IN 1921; LESS THAN 1920

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 17. But! little change is shown in the number of live stock on Indiana farms for (January. 1922, compared with last i year, according to the report . of the co-operative crop reporting service, is sued today. The numbers are somewhat less than was shown by the census reports for January, 1920 and the prices are much lower. The loss to Indiana farmers on this product will be very heavy. The report follows f The number of horses and mules on Indiana farms Jan. . 1, remains practically the same as for the same date last year, the estimate being 703,000 horses and 101,000 mules, which is the same as the revised figures for 1921 and compares with 717,000 horses and 100,000 mules, shown by the United States census for January, 1920. Automobiles, trucks and tractors did not make the inroad on this class of live stock during 1921 that it did during the preceeding year and prices were too low to make breeding profitable, although it is thought a slightly larger number of colts were foaled in 1921 than in 1920. Prices are about one-sixth lower than last year and nearly one-third lower than 1920 for horses and for mules the variation is considerably greater. Horse Valuation. The estimated value of all horses in Indiana is approximately $57,000,000, compared with $66,500,000 for last year. For mules the value this year is estimated at 58,400,000 and for last year $10,900,000. An increase of one per cent is shown in the number of milk cows on Indiana farms, Jan. 1, this year, the estimated number being 727,000 compared with 720,000, the revised figures for last year, and 727,000 shown by the census for January, 1920. Much interest has been manifested in dairying through the past few months in connection with the reorganization -work , with a view to getting along without hired labor on the smaller farms, or to hiring men by the year on the larger ones. The average price for milk cows is considerably less than a year ago, and the total value of cows and heifers kept for miiklng purposes is estimated at $3S," VETERAN TO BONUS SESSION PROTESTED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 The house was thrown into an uproar during dis cussion of the soldier bonus measure today after Representative, Garner, of Texas, ranking Democrat, on the com mittee, had protested against the ac tion of the Republican members in calling in a representative of the American Legion to advise with them at a secret session from which Democrats were excluded. Representative Monaeu, oi Wyoming, nepuDiican Chairman Fordney joined in the de bate.

"We had before us today an officer of the legion so we could ask him for expert information, and he gave It. "The bonus bill will be presented to a caucus of house Republicans in 10 days and the Republican house will pass it. The Republican caucus will either agree with what we have framed or will direct us how to fix it." In making his attack on the committee, Mr. Garner, without mentioning names had reference to the appearance of John Thomas Taylor, of the American Legion, and Richard Jones, representing Veterans of For eign Wars, who were before the com - mittees today.
