face of the Increased cost of doing bust

nothing less than confiscatory, The coal
dealers saw the necessity Of getting inn

was selected to seek this in Washington
found when it arrived there that not
only Fuel Administrator Garfield, but
Assistant Administrator Garnsey had
resigned and that there there was no

happened to be in the old offices Of the
fuel administration advised them to 60

This they did, and discussed the stu
alton with Judge Ames. Judge Ames,
he declared, recognized the justice of
their complaint and acknowledged the
possibility of the need of charging $7.25
instead Of $6,S5 per ton for their coal.
The judge declared that the presidents
proclamation recognized the right of
the dealers to charge a Fair and rea-
sonable price and, make a fair and rea-
sonable margin Of profit He then adj
yised the Memphis dealers that If they
would return to Memphis and submit
their troubles to a committee named by
the Chamber of Commerce or the mayor
and that If such a committee. after in

was only n fair and reasonable price, the

to prosecute for profiteerlngy
Thus the committee has It in It's

The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-01-01

We have had the most prosperous year in our history, ayear
OF growth and development beyond every hope or expectation.
We realize that the continuity Of this prosperity depends entirely
upon the good will of the buying public. Our plans for the COM
ing year have been formulated with a view to so increase this
good will that our splendid growth in 1919 will be far outdis-
taneed by our record in 1920.
And this should be easy of accomplishment; our rapid
growth has made us financially powerful; our cost Of doing BUSH
ness in proportion to the volume of our sales is lower than that
of other stores, and this simply means that there is no store
which can afford to undersell us. We believe that all Memphians
acknowledge that we consistently carry the highest class and
most dependable merchandise. Our belief is that if by practical
demonstration we can convince the public that at the same time
we undersell, we can in q very short time Increase our assets of
good will and public confidenee-and that is exactly what we
propose to do.
Contrary to the usual New Years resolution, this one will be
carried out 366 days this year. We shall not change the char
acter of the merchandise which we have sold for over 60 years.
We prefer rather to admit to that part Of ~the2buying public
which wishes merchandise made to sell at a price, regardless of
intrinsic value or lasting worth, that LoWenstenis is not for
them. But on all goods Of merit, we shall, beginning tomorrow,
adopt consistent underseling policy. We shall do 1t by cutting
our profits, depending on increased volume for compensation.
During 1920 Lowenstein's principal aim will be to reduce the
"cost of living'-not ali unselfsh policy, but admittedly de-
signed to benefit ourselves in dividends Of good will,
To impress upon the public the genuineness Of our intentions
we have adopted the following guarantee, which will be kept be-
fore you throughout the year-a guarantee which will protect
you infalibly in every purchase made at this store, and ct which
we urge you to avail yourself at any and every opportunity.

 WESTERN LANDS
 PRESENT NECESSITY

WASHINGTON, March 12.-A more comprehensive reclamation policy must be adopted by the government if the full needs of the west are to be met, the senate banking committee was told by D. w. Ross, former State Engineer of Idaho.
 ~ The opening up of more than six million acres of land annually is necessary to meet the needs of the country's increased forming popula- tion, MT. Ross said, but under present plans, not more than 2, 500,000 ad- ditional acres will be improved in the next twenty five years. reclamation is necessary, he added, as all free agricultural land has been appropri- ated.
 Mir. Ross appeared in support of Senator Fletcher's bill providing for reclamation through state and fed eral aid with government funds de- rived from the sale of bonds.

SEATTLE, March 10.-The Seattle Post Intelligencer says that Congress realizes that no law exists for aiding the Department to build a railroad. zation along the Alaska railroad such as usually is found among pion- eer railroads. It was this condition which led the Senate to pass the resolution by Senator Wesley L.. Jones requiring three sets of facts from the Department of the Interior The requests were, (Dwhat steps have been taken to develop the coun- try along the railroad; (2)what steps for developing traffic; (3) have any organizations been formed to settle and develop the country; if not, why not?
 It is expected that the Interior Department will answer all questions in the negative. as previously declar- ed, because the law only authorizes the eDpartment to build a railroad
