HITS TALK OF COMBINE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--More than

their share In terminating The nation
wide dwelling shortage, l.. c. Boyle, of
the National Lumber Manufacturers As
ISOLATION. announced here today. At the
same time Department of Justice officials
were conducting an Investigation of high
lumber prices, which are blamed In part
for the stoppage Of building operations.
Lumber prices are now the lowest
since the armistice,'' said Boyle. Prices
have been sIashed an average Of 40 per
cent. Stocks are piling up and many
mills are being forced to close for lack
OF orders.
Now is the time to build If fair wage
scales can be put into operation. Labor
costs represent more than two-thirds Of
the cost Of erecting dwellings,"
Boyle said lumber manufacturers are
not anxious about the report sent to
Congress by the Federal Trade Commits
sion charging that lumber manufac-
turers trade associations control the out
put and prices Of lumber throughout the
United States.
Evidence presented Senator Cnlder's
committee now investigating the lumber
industry contradicts the charge of the
Federal Trade Commission" Boyle said.
While Boyle was discussing the situa-
ton, Judge Nebeker, assistant attorney
general, and William Rand, New York
attorney, were making plans for their
investigation of lumber prices and
profits Judge Nebeker said anti trust
legislation would result If evidence
showed that lumber interests had con-
spired to control prices or prevent COM

DANIELS ASKS
HUGE NAVY OR
DISARMAMENT
Tells House Committee Plan
for Building Holiday Is
Makeshift.
FAVORS WORLD PACT

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.-Casting aside
the proposal for a naval holiday for the
United States, England and Japan as a
makeshift undertaking Of no real value,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels appeared
today before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs and in a frank discussion
of the disarmament question declared
that the United States must join at once
in a world wide agreement to reduce
armament or embark on n great new
building program which will make the
American Navy equal to the greatest N
the world.
No halfway measures will suffice, he
said Equality with the greatest or the
protection OF an international agreement
alone are worthy Of serious consideration,
ne declared.
If President elect Harding asks mis- adj
vice on the question, Secretary Daniels
said. he will inform him that If the
United States is not Immediately to be-
come member of the League of Nations
this government should at once initiate
steps toward a world disarmament plan.
with reference to the naval program
of the United States" said Secretary Dam
iels, there are just two courses open:
I. To secure an international agree
ment with all, or practically all, the MI
lions, which will guarantee an end TO
competition in navy building, reduce the
national burden and lead the movement
to secure and buttress world peace.
'2. To hold aloof from agreement or
association with other nations as to the
size Of armament. This viii require US
to build a navy strong enough and pow
erful enough to be able to protect our
own Americans and American shipping.
defend American policies in the distant
possessions as well as at home and, by
/ the presence Of sea power, to command
the respect and fear of the world.
There is the third alternative of be
| ing content with a small navy in a world
of big nsvies, exposed to certain de-
strucuon IN case of war with great
power or powers 1 dismiss that alterns-
tive without discussion because it is
waste of time to spend money on an
agency Of war that would be helpless If
needed"
OF the two plans the Secretary said
he was in favor of the first.

| sage when he said that Its enforcement
was not satisfactory to the people and
caused much confusion and criticism u
lie has also let it be known that Fred A
| Sims and Philip Zoercher, members OF
the board. must go.
The new Governor, however, believes
that the tax board should still be contin.
| ued In the supreme court on all taxa
| tion and bond issue questions that may
arise IN even the most remote sections OF
the State.
He directly repudlates the Johnson
bill, which vested appellate Jurisdiction
in local tax levies and bond issues in
the county councils, and asks the Legis-
lature to provide a law whereby fifty or
more taxpayers may appeal the fixing OF
levies and the issuance of bonds to the
State board of tax commissioners.
| 3'Full and final authority" he said
should be vested In the tax board ia
confirm, reduce. increase or reject such
levies and issues as 1t may deem wise
just and expedient."
1t Is pointed out by those who have
followed the tax law battles in the past
will reinvest the State tax board with
its full authority. Observers declare
| that any community can produce fifty
diAgruntled taxpayers who would force
the question up to the higher body.
Unless all predictions fail Mr.. McCray
will soon find himself confronted with a
stiff fight on this matter. There are
enough of the former opponents Of cen
tralized tax control present in both
houses who, together with those who
have decided opinions of their own, tC
make very interesting contest.
The Governors plea for a repeal OF
the primary law is doubtless born of his
trying experiences in two primary races
| for the gubernatorial nomination. He
spent a small fortune each time and be
| lieyes now that only county officers, pre-
cincts committeemen and delegates to the
State convention should he obliged TO
undergo the harrasslng effects Of a prl-
mary.
Mr.. McCray asks THAT the presidential
preferential primary system be eliminated
as well as the law which obliges candi-
dates for United States Senators and
| Governors to go before the people.

declaring that he Is not grinding pOliti-
