Washington, Feb. 17.-Sensational fic trust" composed of American and foreign armor plate, ammunition and and gun manufa cturers, of mulcting the United States and European coun- tries of vast sums of money through cOnnivance with army and navy off, cers and members of legislative bodies were made by Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner of Illinois in the house. T mean to say," he declared, that those army and navy officers who do the purchasing of war munitions and who are trusted by the people to see that the government receives a dol lars worth of material for every dol lar expended, have permitted a ring of ammunition manufacturers to charge Uncle Sam outrageously for armor guns, powder and munitions in general. For instance, the war de- partment in 1913 purchased 1000 Az inch shrapnel shells from the am- intuition ring, paying $25.26 each therefor. At the same time precisely the same shrapnel was being manu- factured in the government owned Frankfort arsenal for $15.45. This in stance is not the exception; it is the rule. The army and navy officers in twenty years have purchased $175,
 000,O00 worth of arrnor, armament and munitions from four firms which have monopoly in this country in the manufacture of such supplies and have paid this grasping war trust from 20 to 60 per cent more than the same articles could have been manufac- tured for in government plants.

my opinion there is no warrant for it in this state at this time.
 I have already had Senator Isbell introduce a bill concerning the use of jail prisoners and in due course it will probably be heard before the ju dietary committee. The substance of his bill provides that a limited num- Der of jail prisoners may be used in working upon highways bridges and county buildings and I will guarantee that with proper supervision the same results will be obtained without the necessity of establishing and maintain ing state farm for inebriates. Such a farm cannot help but be operated at a loss on account of the lneft1c1ency of the labor whereas under the bill which Senator Isbell has introduced the operation would certainly be of benefit to the community and the inc briates.
 As I stated above I regret exceed ingly that I cannot be present and express myself more at length than by mere letter.
 Very truly yours,
 Arnon A. filling,
 States Attorney.
