SAYSH.C.L. WILL
DROP IN APRIL
Palmer's Assistant Says
People Can't Pay
High Prices

WASHINGTON, March THE
high cost of living will fall in Apr
because of the inability of people to
pay high prices longer.
This is the opinion of Howard Figg,
special assistant U. S. attorney gen.
eral in charge Of the federal campaign
to lower prices. Figg made the pre-
dlction two months ago that prices
would be down 25 per cent in April.
In spite of the RHraaH of Labor's fig
ures showing they have climbed 5 per
cent since tigg's prediction, the as
slstant attorney general still holds to
the statement.
People can no longer absorb high
prices" Figg says. 81 have first
hand information that retail sales in
all lines are 20 to 25 per cent below
normal. This means that prices must
fall to move the goods from the
Shelves"
After wrestling with the problem a
year Figg says six things caused the
high cost of living. Increased volume
of money and credits, increased
wages, decreased production, caused
largely by shorter hours and war la
Dor conditions, increased cost of dis
tribution, extravaganza and profiteer-
ing have boosted prices, Figg says.
Congress will gradually restrict
money and credits until normal bal
ance is regained," Figg thinks. LA
Dor must come down from the clouds
and work harder for less money. It
would not be wise to lower wages too
rapidly, but labor, from the lowest to
the most skilled, must bend its back
to increase production and overcome
the extravaganza that is depicting our
stores"
The middleman who is responsible
for increased distribution cost arouses
Figg's ire.
There are too many idle consum-
ers and too many unnecessary
mouths" he declares. "Too many
find it easier to levy toll than toll.
Eliminate the middleman and broker"
Of extravaganza, Figg said:
"Only the wealthy wore silk stock
ings few years ago, Now no
washerwoman is properly dressed
without them"
F'igg won t tell how many profiteers
ha has Jailed, or who they are.
Nobody has the list but me and
I'm not ready to make it public" he

been prosecuted and some are in jail

$4,000 Ex-Soldiers
Seek Irrigated Farms
BY CAROLYN VANCE BELL
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, March LAND
hunger has manifested itself in re-
turned soldiers.
Over $4,000 applications have been
made to the T. S. Reclamat on Serv-
ice fer 144 farms in the North Platte
and ShoshOne irrigation projects
the only lands so far opened for en-
try to eX-service men.
This is an encouraging indication
that should offset the figures showing
that large percentage of farmers
sons who were in the army have re-
fused to go back to the farms.
"The reason these farmer lads re-
fuse to go back on the farm, says
c. ]. Blanchard, ch eff statistician of
the Reclamation Service, "is because
they do not want to be mere farm
laborers or tenant farmers. Give
these men a chance to own a farm
and the majority of them will jump
at it."
With the large number of applica-
tions and the relatively small num-
ber of farms to distribute, it will be
necessary to conduct a lottery for
the North Platte and Shoshone farms.
