Our Weekly Letter
From Washington.
From James A. Frear, Nj. G.

According to Department of La
| Dor bulletin the average family food
| expenditures increased 104 per cent
from January, 1913 to 1920. One inl-
portant reason, according to experts,
is that the demand has outstripped
production and food is needed for
some time to supply Europe. A move
ment from the farms to the cities is
equally disturbing. Statistics offered
to show that a year ago steers brot
500 at the Chicago stock yards while
the same grade recently sold for
$3.50. Dressed beef during the per-
iod only canned down $3.05. When
Attorney General Palmer's presiden-
tial boom permits attention elsewhere
a promising field for work may be
disclosed in Chicago through the
above figures.
The Fuller pension bill passed by
this Congress last week signed by
the President, provides pension OF
$50 per month to all who served in
the Mexican war over go days and
$50 to the widow For those who
served over 80 days during the Civil
War $50 per month and to widows
married prior to June 27, 1905, $50.
Other rates for specific disabilities
are provided.
The railroads have asked the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
the right to increase their rates about
200 on the average, which will in
crease their revenues approximately
one billion dollars annually. As
such increase effects every separate
shipment from raw material to I'm
ished product it means large IN
crease to the finished product. In
the good old days when the country
waxed into frenzy over proposed
five per cent freight increase ard
compelled it's rejection by the COM
nilsson, we never realized our good
luck.
Last Friday Ex-Governor Upham
of Marshfield and General H. G. Dun
woody called on the writer and met
the Wisconsin delegation. Governor
Upham was private soldier during
the Civil War and was shot through
the lungs in battle, reported dead IN
official orders and his funeral services
were held in Racine, his home city
He recovered, was an exchanged prls-
oner of war, appointed to cadetshlp
at West Point by Pres. Lincoln and
served as classmate with Cadet Dun
woody, now a retired Major General.
Leaving West Point, Lieut.. Upham
was stationed at Fortress Monroe
when Jefferson Davis was captured
and confined at that fort. He said
Mr.. Davis once told him that he, Da-
Wis, cut the first timber ever broughs
down the Chippewa River with which
to build Fort Crawford, now Prairie
du Chen, where Davis was then II
command during Wisconsin's Indian
troubles. Governor Upham, while eX-
ecutive during 1895 and 1896, appoint
ed the writer as District Attorney for
st. Croix county to fill the vacancy
caused by E. w. Helms election as
Circuit Judge. By strange coincl-
dence, General Dunwoody, his class
mate, was in command of the proper
ty division Of. the Signal Corps in
Washington when the writer, then a

Last week the writer called one
morning at the War Department to
expedite a State settlement for Adj
jutant General Holway A second call
was at the Treasury Department to
inquire about an income tax ruling
for constituent, and third call oc-
cured the same morning at the Post
Office Department to try to secure
a more liberal ruling for newspa-
per in our district, whose title page
did not exactly meet the critical rul-
ing of the Post Office officials. This
indicates the varied duties apart from
legislative matters that are parform-
ed
Many letters regarding the soldiers
compensation bill are received every
day. Leader Mondell and others have
repeatedly announced through the
press that the bill for soldiers would
be passed this session, and Senators
have publically stated it would be put
through the Senate when received.
After Republican conference at
which about $50 members were pres
ent, the general consumption tax pro-
posed, was voluntarily withdrawn.
The writer has urged other methoos
of taxing, including stock dividends,
dividends from corporations and 9TH
er means, but has believed the four
options urged by the American Leg
ion are modest in character ana
should be granted the soldier. Mem
bers of the committee have been
showered with letters and kilograms
from Chambers of Commerce and
large business interests, protesting
against any soldiers relief measure
but when Congress can authorize the
railways to levy large general tax
in the shape of increased freight
rates, while also appropriating hun
dreds of millions for their benefit, and
can give bonus payments to many
different Government employees, the
soldiers of the last war are certainly
entitled, above all others, to recog-
milton. Chairman Fordney's absence
for over a week delayed committee
sessions.
A division exists in Committee on
the cash payment plan, but efforts are
being made to reach an agreement.
Those opposed represent large East
ern business centers and the South,
but definite action may be reached
before this letter is published.
