TO CUT The COST
Government Bulletin Says That
Is the Question Now.
Problems of Reaiustment VIII
Be Solved That Way.

Washington, March 17.-Reduction
in living costs to the consumer was put
forward today by the federal reserve
board as the key to the readjustment
period. The sore1y tried consumer
must have an inning if the transfer
from war to peace is effectually made.
the board says in the Bulletin, made
public here.
"Readjustment is a problem the
Bulletin states, which involves, a cur
tailment Of costs of production to a
point where our manufacturers are
able to satisfy domestic trade and to
export It involves a readjustment of
values generally upon new basis
created by normalization of prices and
wages. Finally, it involves the effec-
i've transfer of labor from war work
back to peace time employment at a
stable and satisfactory remuneration. .
The board says that each of these
factors must bear its share in the gen.
eral process of reimbursement If these
do team work" the board predicts
smooth recession from the trial in
fla ton of prices and the additions to
| the CONSUMERS living costs on every
| side"
| In connection with its analysis with
| the readjustment situation, the board
| directs attention to shifting of invest
ments without due appreciation of tbs
| hazards OF the situation" It warns
| that dangers are particularly acuate in
| this respect since a war loan is being
! floated at time when the whole oil
industry is busi1y recognizing.
/ The opinion Is voiced that while the
great readjustment is taking place

facturers should take into account tbs

star chamber discussions in some
quarters of his probable disappoint-
ment If not anger. at his American
peace colleagues allowing the league
situation to be Unanswered out Of
their hands.
There was agreement, however,
that the president would. make every
effort to regain the ground lost dur
ing his absence and the opinion here
was that the success of his battle now
apparently depended upon how firmly
the British and italian delegates stood
pat on the plenary resolution calling
for embodiment of the league cove
nant in the treaty itself. Also. it was
pointed by the presidents friends
here, that Pichon did not say the
league covenant must not be en-
bodied in the treaty-and held to the
hope that the necessary cooperation
for injection of the league would be
forthcoming shortly.
Agree 1t Should Be In.
London, March 17-Londou morn
ing newspapers. commenting on the
disa greement contained in the state
ments by President Wilson and For
eign Minister Pichon, generally agreed
today that the league of nations ought
to be incorporated in the final peace
treaty. They believe, however. it is
possible to include the barest possible
outline of the league in the preliTnf-
nary treaty, with the bulk of details
postponed until the final treaty is
drawn up. All stress the necessity for
the quick contamination of peace.

SENATE Is SATISFIED
Excellent Record Made by Members
Kansas CDper House

When the Kansas state senate quits
tomorrow night practically every
member will go home satisfied with
the results accomplished. Many have
stated that this has been one of the
most pleasant sessions they ever at
tended, and there will be few to go
home without having accomplished
the things they came here to accom-
plish.
There probably has never been a
session in the history of Kansas Iegis-
latures where there was greater har-
mony in the senate Partisan politics
has been kept in the background thru
out and the only criticism that has
so much courtesy and good feeling
that it was almost impossible to get
a bill killed once it appeared on the
floor.
Probably the senator who has got
ten the .most out of the senate is
with large list of local bills. apply
ing exclusively to Kansas City, Kan
and Wyandotte county, and he has
had practically all of them passed.
Senator Nixon also is going home
with a batting average Of 1000 per
cent Senator Nixon introduced only
four bills and all of them have been
passed. One of these was a general
| taxation measure and the othree three
were educational measures.
senator MOnIee, OF GIrdrd. has got
ten everything his district asked for
and more He got the Pittsburg nor
NAL school bill thru the senate with a
larger appropriation than had been
expected, and he got 100000 for i'm
proving the court house at Pittsbure
and building court house at Girard
A great many of the senators had
no special bills that they wanted pass
ed and among those who will go home
absolutely happy are Senators Doerr
Delaney. Plumb, Thompson. Ander-
son. Price, Anspaugh, Sutton and
kanaveI.

Topekan Writing From France Has
Piece of Death Machine.

I After Lieut. Phil BILLIARDS. plane had

looked as tho threshing machine
had run over it, according to a letter
received in Topeka by Mr.. and Mrs. H
McDade, 507 Madison street, from
their son James MeDade who is over
seas with the Thirteenth engineers
In his letter McDade says that the
feats of Phil Billiard at the flying field
at 1ssodun, France, were the talk of
the other aviators for miles around.
McDade said that Billiard had a rec
ord for turning 80 successive loops
with his machine. Billiard was never
at the front but was stationed at a
testing field where new and repaired
machines were tried out before being
sent to the front. Billiard was killed
while testing out one of the planes.
McDade says that Billiard is buried
next to a nurse who was killed in a
plane accident following a flight she
took with captain.
