Omaha. Dec. 19.--To the Editor
General Mitchell Palmer's plan t
reduce the high cost of living,
have this to say:
First. He is commencing at tn.
small end. He IL shooting at trifle.
and allowing the big game to ge
away. 1t Is not the retailor that |.
responsible for the high cost Of liv.
ing.
Second. His organization Of
mayors, attorneys, -four minute
men and women's clubs will have
absolutely no effect on the high cos
Of living.
The high cost Of living can b.
traced to just two causes:
First Currency imitation.
Second. To the export of food.
l stuffs and necessaries that are need.
ed at. home.
The first cause can be removed
by the federal reserve board rails.
| ing the interest rate to at leas,
8 1-2 per cent. This would stol
| gambling and wild speculation.
The second cause can be removed
by the government stopping the ex-
| port of all foodstuffs and family
necessaries for period of 80 days
| 1t Is about time to look after the
| people at home and legislation OF
| this kind would surely do the bust
ness.
Shipping food and family neces-
saries out Of the country that are
| needed at home causes a shortage
and shortage causes high prices,
so there you are.
1t is generally understood that
to stop currency imitation the fed
eral reserve board will have to stop
printing federal reserve notes and
have that tendency.
I notice that your Omaha COM
mittee will not attempt to reduce
the high cost of living until after
the holidays, or to speak plainly, I'M
til after the people have completed
their purchases. This is the same
reason that the big interests of the
country have been allowed to go I'M
molested for the past few years.
1t makes no difference whatever
whether your Omaha committee
acts now or after the holidays. The
committee can neither add to or take
from the hgih cost Of living.
Mr.. Palmer has the machinery at
Washington to reduce the high cost
of living. 1t is up to him to put 1t
in motion. e. H. BARRETT.
Woman's Suffrage.
Omaha, Dec. 19.-To the Editor
of The Bee: An article appearing
in Thursdays Bee stated that Thus
far only one state where the subject
(suffrage) has been considered. Ala
bama has failed to ratify." This is
a mis- statement of facts, as Alabama
and Georgia legislatures in both
houses have rejected the Anthony
amendment and Virginia's lower
house rejected the measure.
OF the % states which have rati-
fed the amendment the state OF
Ohio, through the Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage, has filed
a referendum, and the voters OF the
state will decide this matter in
1920, so Ohio can scarcely be classed
in the list of the necessary 36 states.
Let US give the real facts to the
public and keep them reliably in
formed on the subject.

SUES FOR DAMAGED
 REPUTATION

Mrs. Rose Mckay, who represented
 Santa Crus county in the last legis- lature is suing the Consolidated State
 Press, publishers of the Bisbee Review for $15,O00 real and $10,0OO punitive damages. Mrs. Mckay was a witness for the state in the preliminary hear ings in the deportation cases at Doug- las, several months ago, and the news paper is said to have stated that she was an l. w. w. and an ex-convict. It would appear that Mrs. Mckay was living at Globe at the time the de- portations took place and was an inn portant witness for the men who are termed I. w .W.s. As to the state ment that she was an ex-convict it is possible that even if this was proved a truth in fact she would have re- course unless the newspaper could prove that it was for good or pub- ilc reason. Mrs. Mckay is quite an able woman, but her tendencies have been somewhat radical.

1t was inevitable that the army tanks reputation as a rough rider should serve to inspire the authors of amusement-park thrills.

Now one of the great resorts for pleasure seekers in the East has installed, as its latest joy stimulant, a set of four counterfeit tanks, dress ed In camouflage paint, that bump around the inside of wooden bowl with about an acre of surface. The make-believes, as illustrated in the magazine; are light, with transverse seats like street car, and run wheels instead. of crawling on a flat tread; but they stagger along over carefully designed bumps and rough spots with satisfying realism. ..

PLAN TO REDUCE
PRICES WRECKED
BY OFFICIALS
Continued From Page One.)

Messrs. Lovett and Walters, who
have headed the opposition to the
board.
"That the administration would
commit itself against the public in
terest merely to support the ancient
and discredited railroad slogan the
public be damned unthinkable.
Yet, after all, it is the administra-
ton, not the director general alone,
who had the power to thwart the
board.
Thus, there is no question that
the board was set to do exactly what
it has done, and was set up with the
full knowledge and assent of the
administration and was given God
speed upon it's way by Mr.. Glass.
The record on this point is so clear
that only quibbling lawyer with an
Imagination inflamed with interest
could find an excuse to pervert it.
Yet, exactly this course has been
pursued, and not by the director
general alone. 1t serves no purpose
save to confuse the issue over the
business of politics over the business
of government.
They have been unable to pene-
trate the inky cloud in which the
political squid has concealed its es-
cape from support of the board in
a position, which for some unstated
reason, was politically desirable. /
can only admit the public to my
own perplexity among the following
conjectures:
"In the beginning, did the present
opponents of the board fail to fore
see the far-reaching results to be
achieved and was the growing inn
portance of the power of the boards
policy too powerful political en-
CINE to leave outside the administra-
TONS arsenal and in the hands of
nonpartisan board? Does the adj
ministration plan for 1920 a plat
form of state-socialism which il now
finds inconsistent with the results
achieved by the board? Or, after all,
am giving too much credit for
an acumen that does not exist and
is what the board has encountered
merely the Vaccinations of the old
railroad guard as represented by
Messrs. Lovett and Walters and i'm
posed on too complacent director
general or on a director general too
jealous of his own prerogatives to
see beyond the confines of his own
little czardom?
The board cannot answer. 1t can
only depart more in sorrow than in
anger, and in great disappointment
from lost opportunity to serve the
country"

SENATEPLAKS
DISCUSSED IN
CONFERENCES
Eight Republicans Declare OPP.
position to Penrose and
Warren for Chair
manships.

Washington, May 1l.-Republican
plans for organization of the sem
ate were discussed Saturday at sew
eral conferences of republican men,
bers with Senator Lodge of Mass
achusetts, republican leader, and
also at gathering of eight sem
ators generally known as progress
sives.
Senator Borah of Idaho, who
called the latter group together, an
nounced after the meeting that he
and Senator Johnson of California
had been authorized to notify Sen
ator Lodge that the eight senator's
were opposed to the election OF
Senator'S Penrose of Pennsylvania
and Warren of Wyoming as chair
man OF the finance and appropria-
tons committees respectively.
This does not necessarily i'm
ply any break in the republican
party" added the Idaho senator,
"but only shows our determination
to effect a good organization as we
see it."
Others at the conference were
Senators Cummins and Kenyon Of
Iowa; Jones, Washington; McNary,
Oregon; Mccormick, Illinois; Nor
ris, Nebraska. and Johnson, Cali
fornia. Theseisenators, it was said,
hope to force the organization con-
ference Of republicans to the re-
public.
They said no agreement had been
made among them as to any can
didates in place of either Mr.. Pen
rose or Mr.. Warren.
During the afternoon. Senator
Lodge conferred with Senators PEN
rose, Moses of New Hampshire,
New and Watson, Indiana, and
Smoot, Utah. 1t was said their
discussion was confined to organ
ization questions. Although declin-
ing to make Statements, these SEN
ators let it be known that an under
standing had been reached that any
fight among republicans would be
confined to the conference.

Six ENJOYS Return to Berlin.
Versailles, May 11.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Six members of
the German peace mission left Yer
sailles last night for Berlin. They
include the labor leader, Carl Leg
len, head of the German trades
union confederation; Privy Coun-
sellor Eberach, representative of
the/ministry of railroads, and Herr
Schmidt, of the foreign office, who
rank as commissioners next in i'm
portance to the plenipotentiaries.
They undoubtedly have been
charged with carrying out direct
discussion of the situation with
the German government.
Count Won Brockdorff-Rantz is
still in Versailles, but it is consid-
cred possible that he will leave some
time this week for Berlin to consult
with the government.
The counter proposals on which
the subordinate members of the del
egation are busily at work are not
expected to be ready before next
week. That they are to be of con-
siderable length is indicated by the
fact of the purchase today by the
Germans of 10000 sheets OF paper.

Ak-SAR-BEN WILL
FURNISH many
new FEATURES
Artificer Renze Promises
Thrills Galore at Initiation;
Will Not Divulge Nature
of Entertainment.

After rs years Of persistent and
continuous effort Gus Rene, arti-
fcer for the Ak Ben, has per-
fected what he states is a MASTER
piece in the way of entertainment.
This is my 18th year with the
Ak-Sar-Ben,' Mr.. RENEE stated hui
morously. THE show which | have
evolved for the present initiation
will be better than anything ever
staged previous to this time"
More than $500 men are on the
membership rolls OF the Ak-Sar- Ben.
according to Mr. RENEE. They will
receive more thrilling initiation
into the mysteries of the den than
ever before.
After "a member goes through
this years initiation he'll, believe
the thrills OF the aviator fighting
over the front line trenches COM
paratively tame" said Mr.. RENEE.
The artificer would not divulge
the nature OF the thrills he promises
the members but he let drop a good
hint when he asked the reporter to
instruct. through the columns of
The Bee, the crews operating the
airships and the submarines, the
engineers who have charge of the
sand mine and the menagerie tend
crs to be present at the den We'd
ilesday evening at 8 o'clock.
s. All positions ON the various
crews will be assigned Wednesday
evening and all members are urged
to be present
A choir led by Ben Johnson, as.
sistant superintendent of Armour
and company, will furnish the music
during the entertainment. The choir
is composed of 90 men among them
being Henry Dunn, Frank Latenser,
George Long, Oscar Lieben, Ken
meth Reed and Fred Wagonseller.
| Stage effects of the most elaborate
character have been perfected by
Mr.. Rene. The stage itself is to be
a huge turntable, 80 feet in diameter.
This will enable all acts to be
staged without the delay incident to
the old method.
Members will be given their first
thrill this year upon entering the
den. A grotto has been erected near
the entrance and monsters of all
ages are herded together here. What
form of animals these were, Mr.
RENEE refused to say.
