PLANS TO REDUCE
 THE COST OF LIVING

The session is destined to be featured by fireworks" setting forth the advan- tages and disadvantages of an embargo. As previously reported in this corre- spondence, Representative Fitzgerald of New York will introduce two bills pre- venting the exportation of foodstuffs While the majority of members will con tent themselves with voting for or against the Fitzgerald plan, others will not per- init the New York to retain unchalenged his place in the limelight
 For instance, Representative McLe-
 more of Texas will introduce bill
 requiring those who resort to cold
 storage processes in order to produce
 spectacular increases in prices to
 sell, after 90 days, and at prevailing
 figures, 10 per cent of their holdings.
 Representative Borland of Missouri,
 opposing athe principle of an embargo,
 will urge Congress to authorize.
 thorough investigation by the depart
 ment of justice and possibly, in addi-
 ton, by 8 congressional committee.
 Republicans, in the main. oppose the embargo idea: Representative Mann, re- publican leader is strong in his opposi- tion, in the Senate. Leader Gallinger and his Palinurus, Senator Shoot of Utah, are both outspoken in their opposition, and contend that if a food embargo is devised it should be broad enough to re- duce, also, the price of shoes and cloth ing and other manufactured articles.

all opposition the Nichols Fishtrap high way will be constructed, but not as planned by it's promoters. No contract involving a half million dollars will be awarded, but the highway will be built with convict labor at a minimum ex- pense, and in the same manner that the Taylors Ferry road to the Warrior river, is now being constructed, according to the information.
 Ii has repeatedly been stated that the new board of revenue was very much opposed to the Nichols Fishtrap highway, but so far as can be aScertained this opposition is merely against the construc- ton of the much discussed highway by contract. There is no opposition, it is understood, to the road project itself, and in due course of tune this proposed highway to the Warrior river will be built.
 The agitation for the Nichols Fishtrap highway started over a year ago. How ever, nothing was done by the old board of revenue until a majority of it's mem- bers met defeat at the polls last May. After that there was much action which finally resulted in the passing of reso- luton authorizing the Nichols Fishtrap highway and it's construction by con- tract, and also the construction of the Taylor's Ferry road by convict labor.
 Months then passed and then suddenly in September, just three days before the contract for the Nichols Fishtrap road was to be awarded, Judge E. c. Crow of the circuit court granted a temporary injunction to E. D. Hyche, restraining the board of revenue from taking any further action in the matter.
 The Hyche injunction started a great legal fight, which finally reached the supreme court, but the efforts of Attor- neys Felix Blackburn and George Ross to prevent the awarding of the contract to construct the Nichols Fishtrap road were finally successful, as the majority of the old board of revenue went out of office on November 16, without having been able to award the contract. The new members of the board since taking office have done nothing and said noth- infr rnua rdircr the rrnnnSad hi nch

allies, intend, it is claimed, to continue their opposition, and the fight is destined to be spectacular.
 In September the House cast only 20-odd votes against the measure. The opposition was headed by Repre- sentative Huddleston of the Jefferson county district In a speech MT. Hud- dleston declared the bill a source of possible great danger. Senator Under wood, asked today regarding the bill, declared that its principle was one of great appeal to him. He added, how ever that the principle was one of such great importance that the bill,

 elections two years hence. There is no
 question but that labor, which rejolced
 when the Congress enacted the Adam
