Macon county at this season is 585 square miles of fair grounds, not alone along the paved highways but more especially along the country roads. Mr.

Gilkey, the adviser, stopped and looked both ways when two of these dirt roads intersected, and once we saw a baby rabbit but that was all. Both we and he got home safely. At the farm of A. W. Nichols, threshing was in progress, but he had time to show me a field of hybrid corn that had from two to six ears to the stalk.

And here, too, I had my first experience with the "electric fence," a single wire 28 inches from the ground extending entirely around one field. The total length of the wire was not more than 15 miles, and charged from a six volt battery located on the back porch of his home. There was also a pilot light that flashes red when anything gets across the wire. 91 scribed as pooh- rrvr of scribed as pooh- rrvr of By PRtSTON CROVER WASHINGTON When the Resettlement administration set out to put under-dog farmers on their feet it first decided it must keep them healthy.

Education in traffic rules and regulation is one of the big essentials in traffic regulation in every city. Decatur is no exception.

Louis Rost, traffic engineer of the Decatur police department, pointed this out recently in an address before the Rotary club. Questions asked by members indicated the interest in the subject and the need for information. The safety squad car is giving valuable aid in this cirection. The need of staying in traffic lanes, signaling when stopping or turning and not double parking are only three of the ways in which autoists can help themselves as well as others. Many drivers have learned the difficulty in getting around double parked cars and are seeking parking places on a side street rather than tieing up traffic.

A hand signal saves a crumpled fender. Many drivers will have to be reminded over and over again that consideration of other drivers is the only way in which traffic can be aided and safety advanced. Road hogs straddle the traffic lines and block both lanes. Thoughtless and lazy drivers double park rather than walk a block or two. A continuous educational program will get results and if patrolmen, whenever they see violations, would courteously advise drivers, the educational program would be advanced.

Blocking: Major Recovery in Housing Industry Banker Declares By MERRYLE RL'KEYSER Copyright 1937 for The Review NEW YORK Home builders' resistance to the high cost of new construction is blockirg a major recovery in the housing industry, according to leading lenders of mortgage money. This viewpoint was expressed to me by Raymond R. Frazier, chairman of the board of the Washington Mutual Savings bank of Seattle, an important provider of mortgage funds in the Pacific Northwest. "Normally." the financier told me. "there would be a large demand for mortgage money with which to construct new homes.

They are badly needed in our section of the country. "We find, however, a growing belief among prospective builders of homes that the costs of labor and materials have risen so rapidly and are so far out of line that they are either unwilling or financially unable to cope with these conditions.

For months it has been known that Mr. Farley expected to leave the Roosevelt cabinet whenever he could find a position to his liking that would not make it necessary for him to resign as chairman of the Democratic national committee. In his present position it is reported Mr.

Farley spends about $10,000 a year more than he receives in salary. Five years with such an unbalanced budget cuts deeply into his personal resources. One New York report is that he is $50,000 in debt and that he wants to get into business to rebuild his personal finances. Mr. Farley's name has been in the top group for the Democratic nomination in 1940 should a third term be definitely refused by Mr.

Roosevelt. If Mr. Farley wants to recoup his finances in two years, he will not want any automobile workers going on strike in the plant that employs him. He also will want business to continue on the upward swing and probably will take more interest in the number of taxes that an automobile owner must pay. tntrt fnr r.ratinrt tWat th stems from Old Guard Pep.il.ur..

Mr. Frazier. responding to a specific question, criticized the banks for over-dependence upon federal government securities as sources of bank income. "It is my opinion." he said, candidly, "that the banks of the country, ss a whole, are over-dependent upon income from government securities.

"I have no well defined views on what might be substituted when and if the budget is balanced except to express the belief that such an event would be the signal for an expansion of construction and production to the extent that demands on banks for commercial and mortgage loans would offset to a large degree any loss of earn, ings which would occur by virtue of the balancing of the budget." heads and ear muffs on their ears served as a means of controlling seed corn later to be sold for five to ten dollars a bushM.

Twenty-one thousand men were thrown out of work in Detroit last Wednesday due to labor trouble in an automobile factory. Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers declared the union had not called a strike while company officials declared the union had caused the shutdown. In the meantime the factory remained closed. Apparently it is one of those strikes in which plant leaders call the men out and the head of the union is expected to straighten out the trouble. It is the type of strike with which the public is growing tired and thousands of workers are resenting because they are losing much pay due to strike action not approved by the head of the union.

It strengthens the charge of union irresponsibility. In this particular shutdown it appears that 10 workers were injured in fist fights within the factory. When four men were discharged under charges of having caused the attack, a strike was called. Evidently there was no conference to hear both sides. The discharge was a signal for a walkout putting 11.000 men out of worn in the plant.

A. ir.d thoiirh thic mav K. f-i, i Concerning prospects of credit control. Mr. Frazier said: "I believe that the plans of the federal reserve are adequate to control a possible runaway credit expansion.

I believs the powers vested in the federal reserve, with respect to open market operations are 'adequate' if properly applied." As for the gold buying policy of the New Deal administration. Mr. Frazier declared: "I would favor the continued purchase of gold by the treasury at $35 an ounce until and unless other brakes against a runaway credit inflation fail to ma-terialize or operate as designed. In such case I would be strongly in favor of a reduction in the price of gold." Referring to the growing tendency of banks to earn income through service charges, another Seattle financier. M.

A. Arnold, chairman of the Seattle-First National bank, told me: "We have made some adjustments in charges for banking services to recompense for the curtailment from mves'-ment earnings. However, it has been the uniform custom of banks in this territory to make a monthly charge for activity in small accounts and also to make charges for unusual activity in large accounts not supported by commensurate balances." and the farmer knows he distnrhed her program, which was called "The Rise cf the Goldbergs." A short time ago Mrs. Berg signed a five-year contract carrying with it compensation of two million dollars to bring back that same program to the air. Incidentally, during the last year, she has been Hollywood writing original screen stories at a salary of $5,000 a week.

Illinois was one of 13 states and the territories of Hawaii and Alaska that failed to pass approved unemployment compensation laws before Dec.

31, 1936, the date set by the federal law. Illinois stands to lose its share of the federal taxes paid in by Illinois employers unless the law is amended. The federal government returns 90 per cent of such taxes to the states in which they originate. The total amount involved in such taxes is 30 million dollars and the ways and means committee has approved a bill to return this amount to the 13 states that were late in passing laws. It is not likely that Congress will penalize the states by withholding their shares as all now have approved laws: Illinois is having an unpleasant experience with its old age assistance because the legislature fumbled with its state law in the beginning.

The unemployment compensation law, however, is considered among the best in the country, the only black mark being that the legislature was slow in getting it passed.

The rents now range from $18 to $38 a month and there is not sufficient income to pay interest on the government loan, not to mention payments on the principal. The original intention of the housing project was to provide homes for families with incomes of $60 to $80 a month. The Illinois Federation of Retail associations, in one of its bulletins, put the amount of rent for an $80 a month income at $18 a month. The average income of the present tenants of the building is $125 a month. The St.

Louis experience is similar to that in other cities where low rental projects have been undertaken. Construction costs are too high to permit a rent that will fit the income of those forced to live in slums. The only way out, apparently, is to charge off the government investment as a subsidy, and there is objection in Congress to taxing the entire country to take care of slum projects in large cities. Low cost housing is still a problem. As to the prospective earnings of banks, Mr.

Arnold declared: "My feeling is that by the time the budget is balanced, loans will have increased sufficiently in the banks to offset a corresponding reduction in income received from the United States government bond holdings. Substantial increases in loans have been experienced in this territory within the past six months, resulting in a corresponding reduction in holdings of government bonds." Regarding credit control. Mr. Arnold said: "I think the federal reserve system as now constituted, including the open-market committee, has sufficient power to control a runaway credit expansion." Speaking of business prospects in the Northwest, this financier added "the sentiment of our customers seems to be that business prospects for the remainder of the year are favorable. This feeling is evidenced by a larger demand for credit in this section at this time, of the year than has occurred during the past five or six years.

"A significant tendency, not however peculiar to this district, is the continued strife between business and labor. Unionization is occurring in all departments of business, far exceeding what we usually characterize as industry. If labor's demands continue and increase and are enforced, it will ultimately have a stifling effect on business volume and profits. It already has resulted in serious question among business executives as to the duration of present increased business activity. ii is imnortant tn Am-v.

Jackson. Assistant Attorney General.

Mr. Jackson, defending the position taken by the internal revenue bureau regarding Mrs. Roosevelt's income from radio broadcasts which she gives to charity, mentioned that the bureau had made "secret" rulings in three instances. He called one an "unpublished" ruling, another an "unpublished letter." and the third an "unpublished memorandum." Each, he explained, defined a specific tax situation. With these rulings themselves we have no quarrel.

But the practise of making "secret" or "unpublished" rulings in tax cases should be ended. Every ruling and regulation of the internal revenue bureau should be public and published. The joint committee might well coosider writing into the law a provision which wilj result in such all-inclusive publication. inspiring as well as exciting, but! thi Do You Know?
