PALMER KEEPING WATCHFUL EYE ON
 ALL BROTHERS
By Associated Press

Washington, September 10-Attorney
 General Palmer made it clear today
 that the department of justice is watch
 ing closely dealers suspected of profit
 eering or hoarding and that prosecu-
 tions will result when congress passes
 the amendment to the food control
 law.
 The question was raised whether the penalty would operate to punish
 violations committed before the penalty was made a part of the statute. Certainly it will" Mir. Palmer re- teurned with energy. "Profiteering and hoarding were made crimes by the law two years ago. The mere fact of adding the penalty after the law was passed
 doesn't mean that violators of the law from the time it became effective can not be punished"
 MT Palmer expressed disappointment nj 1 that Congress so far had failed to act finally on any of President Wilson's sugg estions to reduce the cost of liv- 1 ing.
 The attorney general reiterated that reports from dealers indicated good re- suits were being obtained by the de- | partments efforts to prevent prices | going higher.
 i Further advances have been stopped l in virtually all lines he said, while ir many decreases in prices have been re- | corded and profiteering in sugar hao | been halted.
 1 Trading with Germany, the attorney general said, would be continued under l war restrictions until peace comes 1 through ratification of the treaty.

LAWS REPEALED BY HOUSE, BUT SENATE
 WILL NOT CONCUR
Merritt Casts First Vote on Measure, Voting in Favor of the Repeal of Tax
 Exemptions of Water
 Power Companies

Montgomery, September To- By a vote of 69 to 10 the house Wednesday afternoon repealed all laws on the statute books which grant tax exemptions to water power companies IT Alabama. The vote was on bill of Representative J. A Carnely of Coffee county, who has fought consistently to have the laws repealed.
 On the floor of the house in the past he has made vigorous attacks against the Alabama Power company, and the bill was said to have been aimed at this corporation, notwith- standing the fact there are two other waterpower companies enjoying lstN exemptions in the state.
 Speaker Henry P. Merritt cast the first vote, his name heading the list of the roll call He voted in favor of the Carnley bill, repeating exemptions At a former legislature MT. Merritt fought for exemptions on the ground that the state would be benefited by such companies
 The vote indicated that all repre- seEtatives had carried out pre-ar- ranged agreement to vote against Fur ther exemptions. During the hot fight gainst the general revenue bill, which was finally enacted on Wednesday when the house and senate concurrej in executive amendments, it was agreed to vote against further exenlp- tions for the waterpower companies This was done to add strength to the general revenue bill
 The state senate. it is predicted, will not enact the Carnley bill. It already has gone on record as favoring giving exemptions to the companies as long as the former legislature provided fol it. Exemptions for the Alabama Powe company will mature in about three years, this being the end of the i( years as contained in the law repealed by the house on Wednesday.
