RETURN TO LEVEL
OF PRICES IN 1914
Secretary of Agriculture
In Favor of 20 Per Cent
Above Prewar Basis.

Instead of seeking a return to the
prewar level OF prices Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace yesterday de-
clared 1t would be better for all
concerned to establish q level about
70 per cent above the prewar nor
NAL
1--WE cannot hope to reach nor
NAL conditions until we arrive on
price level which will be fair to
all our people and all products"
said Secretary Wallace. Farm pro-
ducts must come up in price and
other products come down until
the normal relation between them
has been restored.
"This talk of bringing prices.
whether farm prices or other prices
back to the prewar normal Is NOR
ally wrong and economically impos-
sible. We Incurred q heavy ma
tionai debt on the inflated pricea- II
we could force all prices back to
the prewar normal-which we can
not-it. would be equivalent to just
about doubling that debt. We can
pay OF our debts much easier IL
~ maintain q price level more
nearly the level at which the debts
were incurred.
"of course. the excessively high
prices which prevailed during the
war cannot continue, but IL we
should try to bring about level,
say 20 per cent above the prewar
level. everybody would be better
on"
Secretary Wallace discussed the
general agriculture situation. de-
claring the country as a whole does
not realize that farmers have suf-
fered more than other elements. be-
cause of q greater decline in prices
affecting their products than those
of other classes.
Secretary Wallace, in outlining
what he regarded as the duty OF
the Department of Agriculture, in
dicated he favored only safe and
sane methods, and does not approve
Of some radical remedies proposed.

Quash Charges Against
Policeman and Civilian

Melvin Cox. former policeman, at
tached to the Fourth precinct. and
Frank p. Leitch. who were accused
on August .. 1919. on complaint of
Leon T. Budd. were exonerated yes
terday by District Attorney John E.
Laskey and the charge against them
erased.from the criminal dockets.
The two men. though never in
dicted, were alleged to have arrested
Budd on charge of speeding and
then offered to forget about the
charge for a certain amount Of
money. A recent investigation by
the District Attorney proved the
charge to be without foundation.

TO DISMISS ALL
LEVER ACT CASES

After study of the decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
holding the snti-profiteering provi-
sion Of the Lever act unconstitu-
tional. Attorney General Daugherty
yesterday instructed all United States
attorneys to dismiss prosecutions
pending in their districts under that
provision OF the act.
This order Affects about 900 in
dictments: $50 charging prohteering
in coal. and $50 charging profteer-
ing in food.
Legal experts OF the Department
of Justice were unable to say yes
terday whether the government
would be able to continue its war
against high prices. in view of what
they regarded as the end Of their
authority to prosecute profiteers by
the overthrow of the Lever act. II
was suggested other legislation
might be sought which would en-
able the government to keep prices
below unreasonable levels.

FRIERSON DENIES
HUGE u. S. TAXL0SS
Supreme Court Decision in
Goodrich Case Means
Little, He Claims.

Emphatic denial that the govern
ment will lose over S1oo.ooo,oo0 in
income tax repayments as the re-
suit of the position taken by the
government in the Goodrich case,
argued Friday before the Supreme
Court of the United States, was
made here yesterday by the Solicitor
General of the United States, Will
lam L. Frierson.
"I am advised by the experts OF
the Internal Revenue Department
that but little, In dollars and cents,
can be Involved" Solicitor General
Frierson said in commenting on re-
ports of several newspapers that
the case would cost the government
hundreds of millions.
Probably as much will be saved
on deductions as is lost on income"
he continued. There does not seem
any ground for the claim that large
amounts are involved"
The Solicitor General also correct
ed statements that he had implied
in his brief before the court any
suggestion of arbitrary action on
the part of. the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
II merely felt constrained to
concede that the act of Congress
had been enormously construed In a
minor detail, resulting in the err
roneous collection Of one or two
items of taxes involved in the par
ticular case" he said.
The position of the government
now is, according to Mr.. Frierson.
that the income tax can only be ap-
piled when 1t is clear a proht was
obtained from selling capital assets
at a higher price than was paid for
them.
The computation formerly in ef-
feet on the basis Of the value of Sc
curities on March 1. 1913. is to be
eliminated.

as much weight as it does at the
present time. The measure, as pas
sed by the house and senate, is a
joke, and will be added to the long
list of freak legislation in Idaho.
1t would seem that the so-called re-

dicrous anti-cigaret law in Idaho, had
best devote their time TO enforcing
the prohibition law, for which they
are, in a large measure responsible

PRESIDENT HARDING

Warren G. Harding, on Friday, will
be inaugurated as president of the
United States of America Mr.. Hard
ing becomes the twenty-fourth presi
dent of the American people.
Mr.. Harding enters the presidential
chair at a critical time in the annals
of the country-not a critical time
from point of external aggression,
for the preceding administration
successfully carried the commonwealth
through the greatest war of all time.
The new president will be at the helm
in a critical time for all legitimate
business in the country, a period of
Sarked readjustment, when the Amer
lean nation is undergoing a transition
from wartime to a peace basis. The
American people are reverting to VIII
effort of-every true American, then,
should be lent toward bringing about
a successful readiustment of the bu-
siness and governmental affairs of
the country, for such readjustment
win be to the public good.
The notable accomplishments |of
President Wilson s two administrations
are too well known to require re-
counting here, and so are the plumbers
However, if Woodrow Wilson had, as
president of the United States, re-
ceived the wholehearted support of
a united people, to which, as their
executive, he was justify entitled,

peril, and which he was denied be-
cause of political bias, what would
have been termed failures in his adj !
