THE LENNON income tax Will be submitted to P 601318 N (member, 1922 the rules be suspended and the res- a'mendment resolution w a s passed by the senate June 8th, the senate amendments were agreed to by the house and the amendment will be submitted to the electors of the state in November, 1922. ‘Senate Prescribes Limits I ' The original amendment, as it passed the house, did not include the provision lirhit- ing the tax to 4 per cent and did not con- tain the requirement that the tax must be computed on net incomes. These amend- mentswere inserted by the senate commit- ~ > tee on taxation at the request of represen- tatives of Michigan Manufacturers’ associ- ation. The amendments were not made until ' Wednesday morning, when it became evi- dent that the income tax resolution would pass ‘the senate during the day. Oppon- ents of the income tax plan conceded that there were 25 votes in the senate to pass the resolution before the 4 'per cent limit was inserted. Its acceptance by supporters of the tax resulted in a vote for the measure that fell just short of being unanimous. 'It was understood that an agreement had been made with Gov. Groesbeck that the new Corporation Tax Law would be repeal- ed whenever .an income tax becomes elIec- tive, because retention of the Corporation Tax would mean double taxation for cor- porations. Two Detroit members of the senate, Wal. ter J. Hayes and Arthur E. Wood voted for the resolution because of ' the concession ' made by its supporters in accepting the 4 per cent limitation. Two other Detroit senators, John W. Smith and Oscar A. Rio- pelle, voted against the amendment despite the 4 per cent limitation, while the other Detroit member, George M. Condon, was ab- sent. The two Detroit senators and Arthur . E. Bolt of Muskegon were the only members to vote'against the resolution in its final form- - When the senate ’s amendment was sentto the house it had the support on the floor of Rep. Peter B. Lennen, of Genesee ' County, introducer of the" resolution, who pointed- to, it as evidence of good faith on the part of . the farmer organizations which have fought for the income tax, that they “ do not interidto attempt to obtain an exor- bitant levy. He said that in all probabil- ity a tax, if , levied, would not ' exceed two per cent.

F or the purpose of such tax, prop- erty and persons and firms and corporations upon which such tax may operate may be classi- fied.” Rep. Wade asserted that the 4 per cent stipulation would lead people to believe that this would be the rate and would scare them. “Ibelieve that this amendment was tacked on for the deliberate purpose of de- feating the measure at the polls,” he said. Rep. Lennon replied that the phrase “Not to exceed 4 per cent” is clear and that he believed the people would under- stand it. _ “As a matter of fairness, we should not injure the manufacturing interests, the business men nor the professional men by an unduly heavy rate, and this amendment shows we want to be fair,” hesaid- Vote Brings Surprises - Theincome tax resolution passed the sens? ate without debate. Senator Frank H. Vanderboom, of Marquette, chairman of the senate committee on taxation presented a report of his committee ofiermg the 4 per m ‘"’:t'_'li_init§ifi0n amendment and that insert- ingthewordrne." and recommending 121181; the. resolution be passed. Senator ~: Gharlés A. Sink, of Ann Arbor, moved that olution be put on its immediate passage. This motion prevailed and Sena- tor Thomas H. McNaughton, of Ada, moved the previous question. At this point, Senator Smith, of Detroit, arose and endeavored to point out that the adoption of this motion would shut off all ' debate. He was ruled out of order and the roll was called. To those familiar with the senate line up on the income tax previous to the last 24 hours, the roll was a series of surprises. The first came when Senator Hayes, of Detroit, voted for the amendment. This showed the governor’s success in dividing one of the two delegations that the opponents of the resolution had counted upon for united op- position to the income tax. The second sur- prise was furnished when the upper penin- sula delegation, supposed to be solidly op- posed to the tax, voted unanimously for the amendment resolution. Smith Denounces Tax There were 27 votes for the amendment, by Senators Amon, Baker, Brower, Bryant, Clark, Davis, Eldered, Engel, Hamilton, Hayes, Henry, Hicks, Johnson, Lemire, Mc- Arthur, McNaughton, McRae, Osborn, Pen- ney, Phillips, Ross, Sink, Smith, of Port Huron, Tufts, Vanderboom, Wilcox and Woods. Senator Smith, of Detroit, reserved the right to explain his vote. In making this explanation he declared that the senate had done more to perpetuate the present con- ditions of unemployment and industrial de- pression than could have been done in any other way. He described the income tax as a plan under which the farmers hoped to shift their tax burden to the cities. The senators formerly opposing the bill had “changed their convictions strangely and over night,” he said, not at the behest of their consciences, but upon the advice of the governor. The'passage of the income tax resolution in the senate was looked upon by everyone as a personal triumph for Governor Groes— beck. It is conceded that his work for the measure during the past two days was the main reason for its passage, sentiment 7, against it having been strong enough to as- sure its defeat at any time before yester- day. Submission of the amendment at the No- vember election in 1922, is believed to as- sure a lively contest; The forces working, ’ against the tax in "the legislature arrived at the conclusion some time ago that. the ' - farmers would submit it by initiative, if it . were not approved in the legislature, and ,, ' began to lay plans for fighting it in the election. ‘ - mfi—vv‘ ,-.‘~ v..__ ._.—.._ __ —..‘ <-.. .¢., . hm BUREAU anvAscas aloe, ‘ 000 ro WOOL oneWnRs OOLING, grading and volume P disposal of wool in the state farm bureau’ s 1921 pool will be going on simultaneously within a few weeks according to plans of the wool department. Grading teams 'are now making their second and clean-up visit to a number of grad- ing warehouses in the southern part of the state. This is calculated to insure cariot quantities or the vari- . ous grades, for the inspection of buyers. The real movement of 1921 wool is expected to start about July 1, although some of the new wool has been sold to date. Such action means that buyers will be able to follow close on the heels of grad- ers as the pool grows older, says the department. Wool continues to roll into the pool and grading schedules are fill— ed for several weeks ahead. De- mands for repeat visits are said to be taxing the elasticity of the wool grading schedule. To date more than $100, 000 has been advanced to growers in initial cash advances of fifty per cent of the market value of A the graded web] on date of pooling. The advance on Delaine wool, has been 15 cents; other grades have commanded less. Local buyers are declared to have been offering but slightly more as payment in full. With the pool at better than 1,- 000,000 pounds, five grading teams took the field June 13. Their daily capacity is 75,000 pounds. The 1921 system plans that when the last pound of wool has been pooled, the last pound will have been gf'dd- ed. The graders are keeping abreast of the peeling quite well, according to the farm bureau. When the peeling is done, the system intends that every grower shall have receiv- ed his cash advance and that the disposal of the pool will be well un- der way through the farm bureau's blankets, yarn and suitings manu— facturing program and through the sale or raw wool to the mills. Wool is coming to the graders this year in the finest kind of condition, a situation which isreflected in ex- tra returns to the grader. says the farm bureau.. Prompt grading of wool on receipt has been found to place the wool before the grader in oral warehouse sli‘suimner and ”if to be graded on the dark days of ta11_ ‘ and winter after it had lain in a bag , for some time and had lost some of its original brightness. About fifty of the 116 grading warehouses have been visited by graders for the first time. Present indications are that quick system: atic work will feature the disposal of the. 1921 wool pool, says the farm bureau. Grading dates for the week of June 20 follow: Monday, Marten, Grindstone City, Nashville, Chelsea, Ida; Tuesday, Caledonia, Decker- ville, Middleville, Dexter, Owosso; Wednesday, Gd.

SAID?! Given good management, any enterprise that can make 11 substantial net as sing must be considered safe. Security alone back of your investment does not make for safety. Safety must mean more than mere safety of your principal- It must also mean certainty of the ability of the enterprise to make substantial returns on your investment. In this respect no enterprise could be more favorably situated than the Peteskey Transportation Company. BUBBTANTIAL EARNINGS The Petoskey Transportation Company is under contract with the Petoekey Portland Cement Company to deliver ce- ment and crushed limestone for the latter concern, and haul coal from Toledo and other lake ports to the plant of the Petoskery Portland Cement Company. This guarantees snaiclent tonnage to keep the boats of the Petoskey Trans- portation Company running at maximum capacity during the entire navigation season. Any boat company, with all the tonnage its boats can carry is in a position to make a very substantial net earning. After taking care of all operation expenses and deprecia- tion, the total net earning available for dividends is over $176,000. This is more than twice what is required to pay 8 per cent on its $1,009,090 preferred stock, and thus a very good earning will be made on the common stock. In arriving at this not eu-nlng. operation costs were cal- culated on a basis far above the present level of costs. Many lake captains and others experieneced in boat oper- ation declare that the Petoskey Transportation Company is in a most favorable position to make a very large earn- in:- » The Company’s first boat of 1,000 tons carrying capacity during its first three weeks of spa-atlas. produced a net eamlng of more than enough to take care of the July let “dividend on the Company's outstanding preferred stock.

Reins located right on the lake, the Petoskey Portland Cement Company will always have a large and ready mar- ket for its cement and cmshed limestone in all Great Lakes markets. This same fact means a long life for the Petoskey Transportation Company. It will always have all the tonnage that its boats can carry. It has no competi- tion. It will have as long a life as the Petoskey Portland Cement Company. and from the fact that the ‘ Petcskey Portland Cement Company owns sufficient raw material to produce 5.000 barrels of cement per day for over 100 years, and in addition sell hundreds of thousands of crushed rock £3011 Year, it is evident that the Petoskey Transportation Company has a long and bright future. HONEST AND CAPABLE MANAGEMENT Every wise investor knows thatmanagement is a very important factor entering into the success of any enter- prise. The men composing the Board of Directors 01' the Petoskey Transportation Company are men of proven in- tegrity and ability. The public knows that it can depend upon the manage- ment oi’ the Petoskey Portland Cement Company. They accomplished what many thought was impossible. These same man are on the Board of Directors of the Petoskey Transportation Company, together with other men of equal business ability and integrity. They can be relied upon to produce results.

FARM BUREAU FIGHTS FOR STOCKMEN EPRESENTATIVES ot the De- partment of Transportation at the American Farm Bureau Federation appeared at the Inter- state Commerce Commission hearing in Denver on June 1 and in Chicago on June to present evidence show- ing why railroad rates should be re- duced. The hearings involved the rates on live stock in the Western District. It was proposed that the Commission remove the 35 per cent general advance established on Au- gust 26, 1920. The Farm Bureau declared that it can be shown that the average earnings of the railways in the Unit- ed States are 106 per cent of those in 1913. Beef cattle prices in May, 1921, show an index number of 100: lat cows and heifers, 99; hogs, 100: sheep, 120, and lambs, 144. The pri on the live stock are the av- atar: prlces for May, 1921, while January, 1921, the latest available. The con- tract is evident. The Department of Transportation showed that in the 8 months since the increase in rates. from Sept, 1920 to April 30, 1921. there was-a tremendous falling of! in the re- ceipts of live stock at Chicago in comparison with the corresponding 8 months of the year previous. This decrease was 270.061 cattle, 11.226. calves, 156,841 hogs, 193,405 sheep and 7,752 horses. Similar data for other stock yards shows a very gen- eral decline in the receipts with the exception of sheep. The average price for beef cattle at the Chicago yards during 1918 was $8.25 per cwt. This is identical- ly the same value paid during May, 1921, while April showed an aver- age price of ”.15. The average price for native calves during 1913 was 810.10 per cwt. During April, 1921. the average price in Chicago was 3731‘ and during May 58. The average price of tat cows and ballots in 1918 was “.10, and during May, 1921, was $8. 05. The average price of bags at Chicago during 1918 was $8. 36 per cm... and during May, 1921, was also $8.33 per cwt. The price at during 1113 amgq $5. 20: in l. l u 2% stage g were $4. OS for January; ,. Join-nary 85.3 ' Nunabsr 42‘ I ~ HE RURAL Credit law of South Dako- ta is the biggest thing of. its kind so far enacted by any state in the Union. It is a model of simplicity and gets directly at the ' urgent and difficult problem of - supplying long-time loans for the farmer. It includes important features of the cumbersome Europ- ean systems, and those of Our Federal sys- tem as well but these have been sifted out, simplified, completely Americanized, and, in fact, South Dakotaized, to meet the exact needs of. the farmers of that state. Loans are made to the farmers direct; there I are no agents or middlemen, no commissions to pay. He gets money much below prevailing rates and on the easiest possible-terms“ The state sens its bonds to obtain money, and in loaning it is amply secured by first mortgage on farm lands. The farmer pays only a small fraction of a per cent 'more than the rate of interest on the bonds and in this way the system is financed and is‘ made entirely self-supporting with no additional expense to the taxpayers. The state appropriated $200,— 000 .to put the system in operation. All of this amount has been paid back except $35,000, and the board can turn this over at any time, thus freeing the state entirely of all expenses. These results have been accomplished since July, 1917, when the measure became a law. The rough places have been safely passed over. and the system is now in full~ operation. South Dakota has loaned her farmers dur- ing the past three years $30,000,000. The greater part of this amount was loaned at 51} per cent; a small part at 6 per cent and still ‘ smaller amounts lately at 7 per cent. Whlch will doubtless be the prevailing rate for some time. The bond issue up to date stands at $31,500,000. It is estimated that it will be necessary to increase this amount gradually up to $50,000,000z after which the annual payments coming in will supply all needs for current loans, and further sale of bonds will be unnecessary. It may be asked why should a state go into the business of loaning money to farmers? One of the most important reasons is that the combined efiorts of the State Rural Credit Board, The Federal Farm Loan Board and . the local banks cannot furnish the farmers the amount of money they need for properly carrying on their business. South Dakota has taken a broad view of the matter, that of ”Fostering ‘ agriculture, dairying, livestock raising and the development and improvement of farm lands.” And they are getting results. ' .As compared with previous prevailing rates of interest,‘the amount already loaned is sav- ing the farmers. of the state annually, more than half a million dollars. Interest rates in general have come down in the state since the law has been enacted, and since the rural cred- it! system carries only a very small part of the [June 1, “1921 1,052,114 ":INESSF Have Been Loaned to Farmers Has Backing of State Bankers n; State Aid For Farmers _ ll '1‘ HAS frequently been suggested that the I state of Michigan should go into the V ing long-time loans to farmers for produc- tive purposes. For years the entire north- “ ernhalfofthelowerpeninsulahassnflered to reclaim the waste lands and set them to growing crops. Even when money is avail- “ able, in many sections. the rate of interest is exorbitant and well-nigh prohibitive and as a consequence northern Michigan’s de- velopment is very slow. While a few pro- greasive men have been talking this thing in Michigan, the state of South Dakota has actually gone into the banking business and in the. last three years has loaned over thirty million dollars to her farmers. 'This has added materially to the prosperity of the state. Moreover, we are told, the bank- ers of the state are in favor of the move as it takes off their shoulders the responsibility of supplying long-time credits. leaving their ' funds free for the more profitable , short- time loans.

The railroad situation seems to be still somewhat badly mixed from the standpoint of both wage and freight reductions. From what the general public had read in the newspaper reports concerning the necewty for acutinthewagesofrailroadem- ployes, the impression had become quite widespread that a cut in the helm rates would immediately fol- low the cut in wages; it has been recently given out, however, by an- thoritive sources in Washington, that no general reduction in freight rates can be made until the net op?- erating incomes of the railroads of the country equal 5 1-2 per cent of their appraised value which for the of rate making was placed at $18,900,000,000. A 5 1-2 per cent income on the above amount would exceed one bil- lion dollars; to earn this amount. annually, the raihoads of the coun- try would need to yield a net operat- ing income of more than $87,500.- 000 per month.

The top price, paid for both mature steers and yearlings, was $9. Last week’s receipts were 16,500 larger than these of the week before which included. only five market days; they were 14,000 larger than for the week, last year. -. ._.,._.._._-.._~. ..__....-.._ corresponding ',l The average qual— . ity of the cattle received in the Chi— . cago market, last Week, was not nearly as good as that of the week before, accounting, in part, for the ' lower top which was made; no cat- ' V tie, as good as the market toppers for Decoration week, came to band last week and there were scattered through arrivals, many cattle that showed signs of having had plenty of grass. Common butchers cattle showed a loss of 25' cents per cwt. Feeders were 25 to 50 cents lower and very dull. Eastern dressed beet were active‘ and firm all last week and the Chicago trade in cares. beef was full steady with that o! the week before. Eastern order buyers competed actively with.

When a farmer wants a loan, he usually applies through his local charges a email fee of $5 or $10, but. if he is able to make out his papers prop- erly he can make his application di- rect. As a rule, however, the board prefers to place the loan through the local bank, which is held responsible for“ the handling of e money and seeing that it is properly expended for the purposes indicated in the application. ' The system is so simple and effec- tive .that if papers are made out properly and there is no question in regard to the title, it is possible to make a loan in twenty-four hours, but usually it requires a period of about thirty days. 'No local farm loan associations are required as in the Federal Loan plan, and no guar- antee of payment is demanded ex- cept first mortgage. ‘ The elimination of this cumber- some feature is a big advantage. Farm loan associations made up of local farmers all jointly responsible for any default of payment is copied from European system's. Such a plan is better suited to conditions where the farmers have small hold- ings and live closely together. Eur- opean farmers, also, are more ac- customed to form numerous small organizations, but in this country the farms are larger and each farm- er 3 more independent, and as a rule does not like the idea of guar- anteeing his neighbor's obligations. It is something of a hardship to form these local loan associations and very often farmers, rather than go to all this necessary trouble, are apt to get along as best they can with- out the loan. By eliminating this feature and loaning to the individu- al farmer direct,_ the South Dakota system is. a long step in advance of all others based on the farm loan ‘ association plan. . The Rural Credit Board of South Dakota may loan to farmers up to 70 per cent of the value of their land and 40 per cent of the insured value of the improvements, provided the improvements do not exceed 50 per cent of the value of the land and do notrexceed a total of $5,000; and provided, further, that the amount called for is not greater than $10,000 and'does not exceed the average as- sessed valuation of the land for the "three preceding years. Where the loan is less than $10,000, a reap- praisement may be permitted at the . discretion of the Board .and such additional loans may. be made as the reappraisal may warrant. .The- borrower has the option of payingall orv'any part of the loan “to: five years, but when a loan is made'on a certain piece of land, it stands there until the mortgage is «excelled by payment. If the farm changes hands the purchaser must assume the obligation and keep up the payments. In case his inability to pay is finally evident, the policy of the Board input to foreclose the snort-gaze but rather help the man sell out to someone'better able to slums the obligation. In case of fitness, drought or other misfor- tune, the Board shows every consid- csflon possible. allowing ampla be but cursing 8 percent mm. ed on defaulted payments until made good. But upto date there has been very little trouble in this connection. The law gives the Rural Credits leer! almost absolute authority "its operations. ‘ It is necessary We. to here this important , of: machinery in reliable hands. 0 Board is cornposed of five men- has. of which the governor. him- ono.

It. has a treasurer " ofits own,-no money passing through the state Ttreasury; In short, . it handles its own affairs and is un- hampered by being tied up by other institutions of the state. The inde- pendence with which it operates adds greatly to its effectiveness. This immense farm loan business is band- led in a conservative, businesslike manner which avoids assuming doubtful risks. ‘As a precaution against loaning money on worthless land, there are three inspectors who pass final judgment before loans are placed in sections where there is any . . doubt. . Payment of the Loan The method of repaying a loan is unique and is known as the amort— ization plan. Coming from Euro- pean countries, it is but natural that rural credit systems should be en- cumbered by some objectionable features and the word amortization is one. On close examination it is not dangerous when applied to debt. The first letter, “a," apparently means, ”to,” and the remaining part of the word comes from “mort,” meaning death. Applied literally, then, it means killing the'debt. ,The end of this debt comes very gradu- ally and by the South Dakota plan is fully accomplished at the end of thirty years. A small payment is made annually in addition to the in- terest; which is exactly enough to clean up the loan in that length of time. In borrowing money at six per cent by this plan the farmer pays $7.26 annually for each $100, or fraction thereof. Six dollars are paid for interest and $1.26 applied on the principal, leaving $98.74 un- paid. The principal becoming less annually reduces the amount of in- terest and allows a greater payment on the principal each year. When fifteen annual payments of $7.26 have been made, the principal is re— duced to $70.55. The amount of interest is $4.41 and the amount ap— plied on the principal is $2.86. Up to this point the payment on the principal has been rather small, but during the last fifteen years the per- iod the principal is reduced more rapidly. The thirtieth year it will be noticed that $6.85 will be applied on the principal with only $0.41 for interest. A Few Advantages The farmers of South Dakota, through their Rural Credit Board, borrow money on their farms at a greatly reduced rate of interest, and by paying a small amount additional each year cancel their debt in thirty years. The annual payment at pres- ent rates amount to 7.26 per cent on a simple interest basis, which is much less than former rates in the. state before the rural credit law was passed; and. in fact, less than is paid at present on short time loans. The payment of loans by this sys- tem is so gradual that farmers are afforded a sure foundation. With any reasonable success in farming they need not fear foreclosure. Then can assume other necessary obliga- tions, make more permanent im- provements and formulate plans with- greater assurance of the future. With this gradual payment of the mortgage debt, local banks are glad to make short-time loans with only a second mortgage as se- curity or on the farmer’s own per- sonal credit. The system stabilizes financial matters in general for the farmer and is proving a great factor in developing the agriculture ’of the state. In view of the present break— down of the Federal Loan System, it is highly important that every state “should have a rural credit system of its own, and no better example . canhe found than. the one already in Operation in South Dakota.

The proponents of the. bill have been heard. and a few of the opponents. ' The. Senate Judiciary Committee has discontinued hearings for two weeks.

W. Nicolson, manager of the state: farm bureau seed department. has gone on a three weeks tour of the great north— west registered alfalfa seed grow- Mr. Nicolson is lining up the growing of first class north- ern grown pedigreed Grimm and. Cossack alfalfa to produce seed for He will visit IN- 1 Dry weather is essential for the production of high class seed and stocks from that territory are ideal, says Mr. Nicoleon. Irrigation makes moisture control possible in that section. It is probable that Michi- gan will always have to import most of her alfalfa seed, says Mr. Nicol- a very uncertain proposition. On the other hand, conditions here are ; unexcelled for alfalfa as a hay crop. Despite the. report that Michigan farmers were going to quit growing beans because of the present price depression. the demand for certified beans has been exceedingly active. Indications show that the cold weather late this spring did not do much amaze, says the seed depart- ment, as the demand for short 1193- i son My crops, such as Sudan grass and millet is very light. XPRESS ears furnished straw- berry growers of western Mich- igan early in June through the farm bureau traffic department enabled growers to get their crop on the market, the state farm bureau is advised. Cars were not to be had it is said, until the Hichigan FTuit Growers’ Ex- change and the farm bureau traffic office sent representatives to Chi- cagosnd induced express officials there to find ears to meet the urgent needs of Michigan strawberry grow- ers.
