FIGHT OPENED TO
ABOLISH WAR RISK

Senator Smoot of Utah today began
his fight in the Senate to abolish
the Bureau OF War Risk Insurance..
Declaring the bureau has become
TOO unwieldly Senator Smoot intro
duced his bill which provides for It's
disintegration. The various activi-
ties of the bureau will be transferred
to departments of the government al
ready In existence.
Senator Smoot disclaimed that he
was prompted by malice against any
of the officers of the bureau in at
tempting to abolish II.
In offering his bill Senator Smoot
went into the history of the bureaus
organisation. He said II was es-
tablished under stress OF war with
the result that its inadequate legisla-
ton has not been able to keep step
with the increased volume entailed In
tho bureau.
Senator Smoot intends TO keep his
nght TO abolish the War Risk Blu
reau, despite the fact that Director
Chomley Jones has notified him that
the clerical force would be reduced
to 1900 by June 30, 1920.
BY transferring the activities OF the
bureau to tho War and Navy Depart
ments, the Pension Bureau, tho Post
office Department. and the Shipping
Board, Senator Smoot figures that
tho bureau can get along with 5000
employees as the maximum limit.
Senator Smoot suggested that the
work of the bureau could be per-
formed by the various Government
departments Mt n saving to the Gov
ornment of at least $4,000, 900 n year.
He declared that the War Risk Bu-
-eau had really taken up the insur-
ance business since tho end OF the
war. So far he claimed the report
or the bureau shows that IL has fallen
rhort In the insurance business as
shown by the relatively small amount

Prospects for n slump in prices

Meeker, commissioner OF labor statis-
tics and head OF the bureau which
collects data on which the Govern
ment bases Its decisions In official
negotiations.
Mr.. Meeker declared that the quick
est and surest way of bringing about
a readjustment is to substitute q
monetary unit of value for the pres
ent unit Of weight.
The people are yearning for q
drop in prices" said Mr.. Meeker. ''The
prices we kicked about in 1913 are
now regarded as ideal. But the people
generally fail to realize that their
sufferings would be multiplied ten
fold IL prices should take u sudden
slump. A period OF falling prices Is
always accompanied by business de-
preston, failures and unemployment.

rope will produce further imitation.

hosmal seasonal drsp In prices may be
expected in 1020.sT continued Mr..
Meeker. I'm normal times the low
price level for all commodities COM
bined comes in March. April or May.
These seasonal price changes are rel
atively small. and will have but little
effect upon the housewives expendi-
ture. No great and sudden fall in
prices seems possible for a long time.
Wants Production speeded.
production should be speeded UP
to the limit and debts should be paid.
not with more debts. but with eco
nomic goods and services. These
processes should be set in motion
without delay. In the meantime the
United States Government should. in
my judgment, join with other leading
governments of the world in the crea-
ton of an international commission
to study ways and means of setting
up a true and relatively constant
standard of value, to displace the
present monetary units which are
merely units Of weight and conse-
quently variable In value or purchas-
ing power"

shoes Also Increase.

Shoes-'Prices are steadily mount
ing" said one of the biggest shoe
dealers. THE peak has not yet been
reached. During the past three
months the manufacturers have
charged up to $3.50 increase on the
best shoes. This means that shoes
will cost more in 1920 than ever. The
increase is due to the worldwide
shortage of skins used in making
shoes. Exporting of American leath-
er to England has forced up the
prices. Yes, don't look for decrease
in prices for shoes during 1920.
