HOTEL COMMISSION TO BE
PART OF FOOD COMMISSION
CFrom a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Jan. I.-(Special.)-Con
solidation of the office of deputy hotel
commissioner with that of deputy labor
commissioner has not been contemplated
by Governor Morehead.
The appointment some time ago of
Deputy Hotel Commissioner Aldermen to
serve also as acting deputy labor COM
missioner gave rise to the belief that the
governor intended finally to consolidate
the two offices.
AS 1t rs now understood the consolida-
ton proposed has nothing to do with the
labor commissioner, but will possibly end
by putting the hotel commission in with
the food commission.

Canada Affected by War.

The war was the factor that chiefly
affected Canadian prices during 1914.
From January until April the general
price level was steady, with a slight
tendency upward; thereafter there
was q decline OF two points during
June and July, the latter being the
lowest month Of the year. The war,
however, at once caused advances of
about seven points, and, though there
was q reaction almost Immediately
and the year ended approximately on
the same level as 1t began, the effect
on the average for the twelve months
was q rise. Prices of 727 commodities
stood at 1861 for 1914, compared with
1853 for 1913 and 1914 for 1912, these
numbers being percentages of the av-
erage price prevailing during the dec
ade IS90-1S99, the period adopted as
the basis OF comparison. The point

BULLY FOR DICK WATTS.

The Mississippi Progressive
League, organized at Meridian
for the material and financial de-
velopment of Mississippi, held an
enthusiastic meeting on Monday
night, with an endorsement of
the principles proposed by
one of the most representative
gatherings ever assembled in
Meridian. The fee system, laws
inimical to capital and invest
ment, and various other matters
of statewide interest were dis
cussed by bankers, manufac-
turers, labor unions, clerks, law
gers, doctors, farmers, merchants
and others, all of who seemed of
the same opinion that something
must be done to rid Mississippi
of the cancer that is tearing at
it's vitals.
In an extended writeup of the
meeting, the Meridian Star says:
r. H. Watts, representative
elect from Rankin county, was
introduced, and said that he had
come to Meridian to get informa-
ton. He had been watching the
movement inaugurated by the
Mississippi Progressive League
with a great deal of interest and
unequivocally endorsed it's pur-
poses and the measures proposed
He said that he had carefully
studied conditions, and during
the last Legislature had become
thoroughly convinced that fool
ish legislation was running the
state.
''The trouble, as I see it." as
serted Mr.. Watts, is that during
the past few years a lot of cheap
John politicians have been going
up and down the state poisoning
the minds Of the people and
arousing feeling between labor
and the business mar"
This, he declared, should stop,
and each should realize that their
interests were identical and each
should work for the interest of
the other.
He pledged himself to work
for better legislation. promised
cooperation of the principles pro-
posed by the league; condemned
the fee system, declaring it a
great evil to the state; advocated
good roads and better education,
and favored laws equitable to
the corporation and individual.
Mr.. Watts said that he favored
a uniform divorce law, as he
thought it a disgrace to the state
to have its laws SO easy for the
would-be Divorce. He called at
tentlOn to the fOrty-One divorces
granted at the last term of the
chancery court, and said that he
would put his best endeavors for
ward to make it more difficult to
secure notification of the marri-
age tie.
Mr.. Watts favored system of
uniform taxation; juvenile re-
formatory; was opposed to ex-
travagant appropriations and en-
dorsed nationwide prohibition.
He advocated an alien land law,
and concluded by declaring that
he was opposed to Woman's suff-
rage.
