1 -Ti, i I KfefT E. PRECINCTS DUE TO BE REDISTRICTED Five in City and Two in County Pass Limit; Judge James R. Wilson Says Ac tion To Be Taken. Boundaries of at least five voting precincts in Owensboro and two In Daviess county are due to be changed before the next election, and County Judge James R. Wilson, has Indicated that action will be taken on the matter.

The heavy vote at the November 7 election In several precincts called attention to the necessity for reducing the number of voters in Several of the voting districts. Kentucky law provides that the county court shall fix the boundaries of voting precincts eo as to make the number voters in each precinct as near as possible to 300. Precincts in which the vote exceeded 35o at the last presidential election must be redistricted, the law provides. All changes in precinct boundaries must be made before the June preceding an election. In Owensboro, precincts 2, 15, 20, 22, and 29, and in the county.

Whitesville and Lockhart precincts had more than the limit of 350 votes cast In the last presidential The two county precincts exceeded the limit while ttia' four city precincts passed the limit from 25 to more than IOC votes. Precijict No. 22, in the Southern part of Owensboro, west of Fred- erica, reported the largest cot of any precinct, its total being- 507 at the presidential Pre cinct No. 2, in the north-western Section of owensboro, was second with a vote of 3S8. Precinct 20 In the south-western part of the city, reported 393 votes and Precinct No.

15, including a part of the residential just south of the central business district, reported 375 ballots cast. Whitesville precinct reported 358 votes and Lock-hart, 367. Whether the large precincts will be divided without distributing neighboring precincts, or whether a general redietricting of the city will be ordered will not be determined until after a committee to be appointed by the court studies the problem. Prospects are that as tew changes as possible will be S'rt'9 to distribute more equally IvWi number of voters in the larger ahd smaller precincts. There are now 23 precincts in Owensboro.

Wheat Suffers Setback of Almost 3 Cents a Bushel Chicago, Nov.

18. (P) Almost Jt cents a bushel setback In wheat prices today went hand In hand with trade reports that all talk of stabU-zation of the dollar merelv because gold had reached a certain figure could be disregarded. In the aggregate, today's trade in grain was not large, and op-eraters were inclined to go slow on either side of the market pending developments. Lowest prices of the day were reached Just at the last. Wheat closed unsteady, 2 3-8 to 2 7-8 under yesterday's finish, corn 1 1-8 to 1 1-2 down, oats 3-4- to 1 cent off, and provisions ranging from 12 cents decline to 17 cents advance.

How is the administration planning to pay the terrific debt which Is being incurred for the recovery program? Prof. Rexford G. Tugwell, assistant secretary of agriculture, answers th question in a statement published in the American magazine. A $10,000,000,000 recovery debt can easily be repaid in three years, he says, if the program works. With a 50 percent revival in business, Prof.

Tugwell figures that the federal income should reach 5 billions a year. "Assume," he says, "that our revenues in the f.rst year of recovery were 4 billions, in the second year 6 b-llione. and in the third year 8 billions Assume also that ordinary expenses eontinue at about 2 1-2 billions. In the first year, then, we should pay off 1-2 billions, in the second year 3 1-2 billions, and In the third year 5 1-2 billions. The recovery debt would be paid in three years, with half a billion dollars to spare." He goes into further details as to what results he expects from the National Recovery Act.

"The national income for 1928 was 82 billions, and the income tax yielded 2.2 billions. Let us assume, on the present state progress, that the recovery measures will bring us back 5o percent toward the prosperity of 1928 and do this within a year. The na tional income, then, should increase from 40 bill-on to 60 billions for 1934, and the income tax yield should rise from 746 millions to l-l billions. Actually, when our Income was 60 billions. In 1931, the income tax yielded 1.9 billions.

We ought to be able to count on this much, and it is a substantia! answer to those who profess so many fears at present. "In add.tlon, Immense revenue Is expected from liquors, with the repeal of the 18th amendment, and from increased customs duties as international trade revives. Ii would not be extravagant to expect that, with a 50 percent revival, our total revenues might be 5 billions for the year. "Figures like these are conjectural. No one can predict the percentage of recovery to be expected during any given period.

But, assuming that the program produce substantial results, such an outcome is not at all fantastic. Our national Income fell from 82 to 60 billions in two years, and to 40 billions in three years. The fact that it was once as high as 82 billions means that we have the resources, the factories, and the man power to produce that much. We have capacities we are. not using These are not lost.

All we need Is the courage and the intelligence to put them to work. And if wr fell off 40 billions In three years perhaps we can get back in the same time. "The recovery plan is one way to get back to prosperity. If It coats 10 billions over three years to set us on a basts of 80 instead of 40 billions of income a year, our effort will have cost us comparatively little. We 6hall have spent an average of 3.3 billions a year to gain 40.

If you think about the country instead of any ndividual sacrifice which may be Tnvolved, this is worth working for heart and soul. "It is a national effort. Government cannot do it alone. No few industrialists can help enough. The whole country has to go along.

It if does, we shall get hack to the 80-blllion days in short order. And we shall pay the costs without particular pain to anyone." 5 Years Given Man Wounding Dollfuss Assailant, Ex-Nazi Claims Austrian Chief Betrayed His Ideals. Vienna, Nov. 18.

Kentucky Cleaners, Incorporated. PAD YEARS IN INCREASE EOF Being ReFected in Movement of Miscellaneous Commodities Which Farmers Buy Increased farm income In some sections of the country Is being reflected In greater sales of miscellaneous commodities which farmers buy. On some types of sales the volume Is at least 25 percent more than a year ago, according to reports received by the Agricultural Adjustment administration at Washington. In the South the volume of purchases has risen much more than this, because of the sharp rise in farm income from unusually low levels. This improvement was due In large part to the cotton and tobacco adjustment programs.

Similar effects are being noted as benefit payments reach communities in the wheat and corn-and-hog belts. Much of the Increase in farmers' Income is due to the benefit payments made by the government In consideration of their cooperation in acreage reduction programs. Benefits to farmers during the five 'months from August to December will be equivalent to a 20 percent increase over the cash farm Income for the same period last year. The increase in prices of agricultural commodities has been uneven, according to the Adjustment administration. Thus far price 'mprovement has benefited wheat, cotton, and tobacco most, dairy and hogs somewhat, and a number of farm products very little.

Prices of wheat, cotton, tobacco, and wool are now higher than they were last March because of the depreciation of the American dollar in foreign exchange, speculative activity, reduced supplies, and a h'gher level of industrial activity and consumer purchasing power. The regional differences also 6tand out in farm income, with cotton and grain income showing the greatest gain compared with Income from livestock nd their products. The prices of other important farm products, particularly livestock and livestock products which depend so largely on domestic demand conditions, have not shared the effects accompanying the new monetary policies, but have followed quite closely the expansion In factory payrolls, demonstrating the great dependence of farming on consumer purchasing power. In general, farm prices at the end of October had a purchasing power about 22 percent greater than they had last March, when 't was only half as much as in the pre-war years. Farm receipts including benefit payments during September showed a much greater Increase in purchasing power over the low level of last March.

The returns from farming should be greater during the com-'ng year than in recent months In the opin'on of officials of the administration. Wheat growers are to receive benefit paymnrs of bout $102,000,000. The corn-hog belt will receive, mntlv during '934. something under for participation in the corn-and-hog adjustment program. Benefit payments are to be made to cotton and tobacco erowers.

Prices and returns of a mimhe' of other farm p'oducts will be 'avorably affected by the adoption of agreements to control supplies at higher prices. These benefit "ayments will serve to promote industrial revival, and tfie latter will in turn tend to lift the general level of farm prices and farm income as additional steps are taken to promote liueiness activity.
