Business trends
Price spirals
Begin to wane
By JOHN CUNNIFF
AP Butlntu Analyst
NEW YORK (AP) - It
aeon*, after aU, that thing*
don’t Joat get wone and wane.
Yet, there may be reoaon to
“a
riae in property taxes,
for example, has ik)wed. So has
the rate at which bouaing prices
are rising. And the domestic
car industry, which has been
spinning its wheels, may get
some traction soon.
After examining state and
local property tax collections in
the SO states, the Tax Foun-
dation concludes that the 6.2
percent increase from 1977 to
1976 was the smallest since the
recession year of 1974.
But that doesn't tell the entire
story. Since then, Californians
have passed Proposition 13,
limiting property taxes, and a
score of other states have
considered somewhat similar
measures.
The swift rise in market
values of houses was largely
responsible for the feeling that
real estate taxes had gotten out
of hand. But now the rise in
housing values has slowed, for
the time being at least.
The National Association of
Realtors, which monitors each
month’s resale prices, reports a
9.5 percent increase between
May 1979 and May 1980. Two
years ago the increases were
averaging better than 13
percent.
That recent 9.5 percent an-
nual rate of increase puts the
median price of existing single-
family bouses at 161,200, but the
rate of increase now is no
greater than the inflation rate
generally.
Moreover, that national rate
hides great regional dif-
ferences. In the North Central
states, for example, the latest
rate of increase was ]ust 6
percent, and prices in the
Northeast appreciated at only
4.5 percent.
When a trend is strong and
growing it is easy to succumb to
the belief that the direction and
pace will be maintained. It was
so with housing prices and real
estate taxes. It is probably so
about automobile sales.
U.S. carmakers are now
suffering through their worst
agonies ever, having lost a
large percentage of their
markets to Japanese imports.
Chrysler exists by reason of a
lien on the U.S. Treasury.

4-H Update
By JANICE PHILLIPS
County Extension Agent
Agriculture
I have been out to check a lot
of our barrow and steer
projects lately, and we have
some good ones. Looks like we
are going to have a real tough
steer show.
Those showing steers this
first year are: Marty
McKinzie, Danny Delude, Mary
Lee, LeAnda Tully, DeLane
Tully, Chebna Davison, Paula
Edwards, Shawn Nowlin,
Stephanie Cockrum, Jason
Oldham and Jonas Helm.
The only problem any of
them seem to have is the heat.
The steers have not been eating
as well, and most of them have
dropped off on their weight
gain. Hopefully, we will get a
break in this weather and they
will bounce right back.
The barrows are also fighting
the heat. Since they have just
begun their feeding period you
do not notice the drop in weight
gain as in the steers. They have
to be watched carefully,
however, to see that they do not
die from the heat.
Those showing barrows are:
Miller Grove 4-H Club — James
Day, Shelly Watson, Shane
Watson, Lance Mabe, Doug
Hall and Delane Malone;
Bright Star 4-H Club — Jason
Oldham, Duane Cash, Denise
Cash, Kenneth Moore and
Meredith Oldham; Pleasant
Hill 4-H Club - Angel Stephens,
Patrick Young, Vincent Davis,
Daphne Johnson and Carla
Johnson; North Hopkins 4-H
Club — Sara Lindley and Susan
Lindley; Saltillo 4-H Club —
Tommy Mobley, Cary Mobley
and James Thompson; Dike 4-
H Club — Melinda Deaton; and
Beckham 4-H Club — David
Ring.
