BEGIN PROBE
of PRICES
INVESTIGATION OF TAIL
PRICES OF CLOTHING AND
OTHER ARTICLES

Washington, Dec. 24.-Investiga-
tion of retail prices of food, fuel,
shoes and clothing in all parts of the
country was ordered today by Attor-
ney General Daugherty.
Mr.. Daugherty said that in many
localities prices were too high and
retailers profits were 'unconscion-
able" and that every effort would be
made to put retail prices In the prop
er level.
Mr.. Daugherty instructed Director
Burns of the bureau of investigation
to assign men as soon as possible to
various parts of the country stimuli
taneously to collect information up
on current prices of food, fuel, shoes
and clothing and at the same time
to report the wholesale prices of
corn, wheat, beef, meats of all kinds
and on the hoof in order that COM
parisons might be made of the retail
and wholesale price of food.
In many parts of the country, Mr.
Daugherty declared. retailers have or
ganization which tend to keep prices
high.
Results of the departments inves-
tigation, Mr.. Dangherty said, would
be used in an effort to bring down
retail prices where they were too
high. Prices, he said would never go
down to their pre-war level but they
could be brought into the proper re-
lation with reduced wages and re-
duced costs of foodstuffs.

BEER TAX FOR
BONUS ATTACKED
HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL CON-
SIDER--PROGANDA BY VETS
CHARGED

Washington, Dec. 24.-It was
learned today that the ways and
means committee of the house will
consider the plan of raising money
for soldier bonus from a tax on
light wines and beer, at the hearings
conducted soon after the holidays.
Secretary of the Treasury A. w.
Mellon had conference with Chair
man j. w. Fordney and while Mr..
Fordney said afterwards that the
bonus was not discussed. 1t was
learned that the hearings in question
will take place. The matter of the
constitutionality and the feasibility
of such a. tax are bound to cause
a tax are bound to cause much con-
trovsy in the committee.
AS soon as it became known that
the scheme would ever be consider
ed an attack was made on it on the
floor of the house of representatives
by A. p. Nelson of Wisconsin.
Il do not believe that former serv-
ice men would look with faovr on
any plan to raise revenue in an out
law traffic in order to meet their
legitimate demands for adjusted com
pensation,' he said. ''To attempt to
tie the veterans of the country's bat
ties to the dead body Of the liquor
traffic is an outrage. No soldier
wants money coined from blood and
tears
s.t Y
MIR. Nelson said a propaganda
backed without question by the IL
quor interests now was trying to
break down public opinion favoring
prohibition.

CONGRESSMAN DECLARES PRO.
VINCIALISM STANDS IN
WAY OF WEST

Sioux Falls, Dec. 24.-Congress-
man Charles A. Christopherson has
been busy this week, filling speak
ing dates in response to invitations
sent him from over the state.
On Monday evening, Mr.. Chris
topherson on invitation of the com
mercial club of Canton, spoke be-
fore large audience in the circuit
court room. At Canton, Mr.. Chris
topherson launched into his address,
discussing the economic situation and
its problems now before congress and
the country.
He also discussed various other
topics of great Importance. His au-
dienee showed great interest I'm the
first hand information and the able
and serious efforts shown by their
representative of the first district.
AT Scotland on Tuesday evening,
Congressman Christopherson made
an address before the Scotland Com
munity club in its most successful
banquet of the season.
In speaking of the congressman S
address, Secretary M. Zerbe, Scot
land. stated: ''The Hon. c. A. Chris
topherson was at his best and the
magnificent speech was well receiv-
ed"
The community club decided to
back the college Y. M. G. A. of Nit
chell Dakota Wesleyan in four-day
community activity. The club is also
dispensing much Christmas cheer.
Wednesday night, Mr.. Christoph-
erson was in Mitchell talking before
a representative audience of business
men and other citizens. In his ad-
dress there Mr.. Christopherson stat
ed that the provincial east and west
in doing much to prevent relief legis-
lation for the farmers of the great
agricultural section of the middle
west"
He declared that the stabilization
bill which he has introduced and
which provides for the purchase of
all surplus grain each year by the
federal government, is making some
progress. but not nearly as much as
it would if it were not for the oppo-
sition of the eastern and southern
members Of congress. The fact, how
ever, that congress has shown a
friendly attitude in general toward
legislation proposed for the benefit
of the farmer, he stated, would indi-
cate that the stabilization bill would
stand good chance for passage.
Mr.. Christopherson declared that
under the present low prices for corn
and other grains the farmers of
South Dakota should get into the
manufacturing business. Experts
tell me-" he said, "that if the 20
cent corn is fed to hogs and those
hogs marketed for Sc, the corn will
bring an average of so cents bu-
shell. Therefore it is up to the farm
ers to start more than ever the busi-
ness of manufacturing hogs for the
market. If South Dakota had enough
hogs to eat the surplus of 1900, 900
bushels of corn in the state today
they would be in a far better finan-
cial condition than they are.''
