The results of an analysis of the
course of living costs during the pc
riod from June /, 1914, to December
81, 1920. in thirty-two cities have
been made public by the department
oC labor. The figures include cost of
food, which is taken as representing
AZ per cent of essential expenditures
of the family; clothing, 1876 per cent
of expenditure; housing, 143 per
cent: fuel and light, 4.3 per cent; fur
niture and furnishings, S.3 per cent,
and miscellaneous. 1871 per cent. The
analysis shows that after a continuing
increase in the cost of almost every
necessity of life from June /, 1914,
until June, 1920, break came during
the last six months of 1920, no de-
crease. however. occurring in the cost
of housing fuel and light. During
these six months housing showed an
increase of 81 per cent, and fuel and
light. 26.4 per cent. For the entire
period of six years and a half the
heaviest increases were in the prices
of clothing and furniture and furnish

The exemption of intangible per-
sonal property from local assessment
and taxation is cited in the annual re-
association as the most important ad
vance made during 1920. This ex-
emption includes money. credits.
bonds, bank deposits, and notes.
Carrying out still further the income
tax policy, the investment tax on Sc
rial bonds was repealed, as was also
the per cent inheritance tax penalty
on securities. This exemption of in
tangible personal property ends, for
the time being at least, the report
says, the futile attempt to reach such
property thru local assessment and
tax 1t at full local tax rates. For
many years that form of personal
property taxation has been con-
demned as ''impra cticable, unequal
and unjust" and has been denounced
by numerous investigating commits
sioRs as a breeder of corruption and
perjury. The association since its or
ganization in 1891 has fought the per-
sonal property tax persistently, op-
posing the various attempts to estab-
lish stringent listing systems, and eb-
tanning various notifications from
time to time in the form of specific
taxes. With the enactment of the in
come tax, it points cut, the last ex-
cuse for the old system was removed,
and it's passing, so far as it applies to
intangible property, is a cause for
congratulation.

In the case of the four men who are
held on a charge of robbing the Ely
Packing company of smoked meats
Attorney Zurich appeared in court last
Monday and gaye notice that he had
withdrawn as attorney for the de
PENDANTS. Additional time was given
the defendants by the court in which
to secure an attorney. with the result
that three of the men, jack Wright
Fred Freeman and Il. O'Neil notified
the court that they were unable 10
secure an attorney owing to lack OF
funds. The court then appointed G
A. Eddy as attorney for the three de
PENDANTS.
Tuesday afternoon Attorney Eddy
appeared in court and introduced a
motion to dismiss the indictments
against the defendants, claiming a de.
feet in the drawing of the Indictments,
According &c the claim of the attorney
the indictments did moi include the
names of the witnesses called before
the grand jury to testify, which is pro
yided by law in all cases of indict'
ments or information filed by the dis
trict attorney.
V. G. Vargas. deputy district attor-
ney, appeared for the state in the alb
sence of District Attorney c. a. Walk
er, who has gone TO Carson City TO
appear before the legislature.
During the argument of counsel At
torney Eddy offered to introduce a
grand juryman as a witness. but this
was overruled by the court, who de-
cided that grand jurymen could only
no nal1QA ~ u-ifnnSGnu In annff in tho
matter of an indictment when the ques-
ton of perjury on the part of a wit
ness had been raised.
Attorney Eddy claimed that the de-
positions OF certain witnesses who ap.
peared in the justice court against the
defendants had been read before the
grand jury. and in that case the names
of the witnesses making such deposit
tions should, according to the attorney,
have appeared on the indictment.
Attorney Vargas was unable to dis
pute this claim of the attorney for the
defendants, as he was not present at
the investigation. and the hearing was
then continued until Wednesday after.
noon.
Attorney Eddy appeared in court
Wednesday and renewed his motion
on the same ground. but the court
oyerruled the motion. holding that a
member OF the grand jury could not
be introduced as a witness to impeaeh
his own act.
Attorney Eddy then oIered a de-
murrer on the grounds that the in
dictments did not state facts sufficient
to constitute a public ~offense, and that
the names of all witnesses examined
before the grand jury were no in
dorsed upon the indictment.
The demurrer was oyerruled by
Judge McFadden on the same ground
as the motion to quash the indictment
was overruled.
The defendants were then ordered
TO enter their plea. which was offered
by Attorney Eddy entering a plea of
not guilty.
The date for the trial of the cases
has not been set by the court.
