"Ireland's right to choose for her

Noted Economist in State
ment Issued at Chicago,
Says Bottom Prices May
Looked for in May.

The bottom level of the decline in
reached in May, according to Halbert
P. Gillette, prominent economist and
editor of Chicago Engineering and
Contracting. Gillette has devised
mathematical formula for determining
the average price of commodities and
for predicting prices several years in
advance.
Gillette's. formula gives the index
or average price of commodities. His
method involves the use of onely five
variable factors, the data for every
one of which may be found in the sta
tistical abstract of the United States
census.
He has tested his formula by ap-
plication to prices extending back 30
years. In each instance one is able to
predict" the average price of COM
modities for any year during the last
80 years.
Through systematic study of the
per capita production, bank deposits
and clearings, labor wages and COM
modities during 80 years, Mr.. Gillette
predicts:
That good times are near at hand.
That the lowest point in the slump
in prices will be reached in May.
That the new average level of prices
will be 60 per cent higher than it was
in 1919.
That the new average level of wages
will be SO per cent higher than it was
| in 1913.
"The peak of the high prices was
reached in May, 1920" said Gillette in
an interview. Prices at that time
were at the index figure 272-as COM
pared with the 100 normal of 1918.
That is to say that prices cost 172 per
cent more in May, 1920, than they did
in 1913.
During February, 1921, statistics
| just received show that prices had
dropped to 167. My calculations show
that prices will continue to drop un-
til they reach 60 per cent more than
in 1913 and will remain at that level
as an average, unless affected by ex-
| traordinary circumstances, for ten
years or more.
Wages, which are governed by the
same conditions, will also be go per
cent higher than they were in 1913.
"In the nature of things, common
labor must accept a 20 per cent cut
from the average scale now obtaining,
that is, the scale must be reduced to
! 100, or 60 per cent above the 1913
scale.
"In some branches of work. such as
teaching and office work. which did
not advance as did common labor dur
ing the war, the wage scale will be in
creased in bringing things back to
normal"

Sales Tax of One-Half of
One Per Cent to Be Levied
Against Merchants and
Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON, April Anew re-
venue legislation, designed to keep the
government tax income up to $4,000
100000 began to take definite shape
today when Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon received from senate leaders
a tentative draft Of a tax revision
measure.
After a conference on the proposed
tax changes with Secretary Mellon and
Government Actuary Joseph Mccoy,
the mean features of proposed pro-
gram were outlined by Senator Smoot
of the senate finance committee, to
include the following:
Imposition of a straight sales tax
of one-half of one per cent upon prac-
tically all sales by manufacturers and
merchants, repeal of the excess profits
taxes and a scaling down of the higher
surtaxes to 32 per cent bracket.
Senator Smooth asserted that the
proposal for the sales tax of one-half
of one per cent will raise for the treas
ury 50,000,O0O and possibly in ex-
cess of that figure.
The aim of senate leaders, Senator
Smoot said. is to readjust the tax laws
so that the wealthy will not find it
possible to escape liability to the gov
ernment by investing their funds in
tax exempt securities.
+ General agreement was said to exist
after the conference that no only must
the excess profits tax be repealed, but
that taxes upon scattered groups of So
called luxuries must be repealed.
"The huge mistake of trying to raise
government funds by taxing ice cream
cones that the children buy must be
remedied at once" said Senator
SmoOt.
Placing taxes upon such luXuries
which iu fact as real necessity fol
the great bass of the people, is ridicu-
lous and such a method of raising rev
enue is now shown to have been 8
failure"
