PROFITEER INQUIRY
ORDERED BY SENATE
Federal Trade Commission to
Investigate House Furnish
ing Industry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Investigation
by the Federal Trade Commission of the
house furnishing goods industry was d.
rected in resolution adopted late to-
day by the Senate. The resolution.
sponsored by Senator Kenyon. Republi-
can. Iowa, provides that the inquiry
shall embrace ''the causes Of factory,
wholesale and retail price conditions
in the industry. There was no record
vote on the resolution.
The debate which preceded its adop-
ton was characterized by general at
tack on profiteers, trusts and combina-
tions in restraint Of trade and scattering
assaults on the Federal Trade Commits
sion. The latter was defended. however.
by several Senators. who contended that
ment agency because Of the nature. Of
its work.
Half dozen Senators, including King
OF Utah, Robinson of Kansas and Walsh
Of Montana. Democrats. and Norris of
Nebraska Republican, asked that the
scope OF the inquiry be broadened con-
tending that it should include trusts and
combinations in other commodities and
in other lines of industry wherever they
could be reached.
Prosecuting officers Of the State gov
ernnents were assailed by Mr.. King
and Senator Hefiin, Democrat, Alabama.
who declared those officials appeared to
have sat with folded hands. and to
have made no effort to check combina-
tions and trusts within the States which
could not be reached by Federal
authority.
Senator Nelson, Republican. Mime
sota said he had little II any faith" In
the results of. an inquiry by the commits
sion. but added he had no objection to
the application of "the homeopathic
paregoric" to the situation. He said the
inquiry could do no harm and might do
a little good.

TREASURY BUDGET CUT
8 PER CENT. IN HOUSE
All Requests for Salary In
creoses Eliminated.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 4.-Despite infor-
ma, requests from the Administration
urging close following by Congress Of
Budget Bureau, the Treasury Depart
ment appropriation bill reported to-day
by the House Appropriations Committee
disclosed a cut of approximately per
cent. The measure Is the first of the
regular supply bills to be completed by
committee under the new system pro-
vided in the budget act.
The bill carries n total OF Sis. 1910. .959
Tor expenses of the Treasury during the
fiscal year beginning next July 1. This Is
s12696.S27.3S less than the amount re-
uuested In the budget and s17.770.59l
less than the total for the current fiscal
year. The measure probably VIII De
taken up on the floor tomorrow.
For enforcement Of prohibition S9.25O,
900 is recommended. s750.000 less than
vas requested but s1.750.000 more than
<as available this year Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes told the commit
tee that. while the prohibition unit had
1.139 field agents and clerks. an adnl-
tional force of $50 fiel dagents and 153
field clerks were needed. The apprporia-
ton. Chairman Madden said. would pro-
vide for approximately seventy-five less
additional persone than the number re-
quested. n
The committee eliminated all REQUESTS
for salary Increases and reduced the
estimates under public buildings ap-
proximately S2.s00.000.
The New York herald., 1922-01-05
what the Bloc Represents.

The total amount collected through
out the country and its Territories during
the fiscal year of 1921 was $4.5s3.933,-
24s. The comparison above shows that
States represented In the agricultural
bloc in the Senate contributed less than
3h per cent. Of the s4.593.9Ss,24s paid
into the national Treasury for the sup
port of the Government
The same statement shows that the
five States whose representatives are not
members OF the agricultural bloc paid In
a shade more than 81 per cent. OF the
total.
North Dakota. from which State the
prospective chairman of the senate
Finance Committee comes, contributed
In taxes six-tenths OF l per cent. OF the
total collected throughout the country.
The State of New York paid into the
Federal Treasury on the same account
more than Is per cent of the aggregate
Yet. because of the sacrosanct seniority
rule. whose virtues are now apparent to
the promising promoters Of the agricul-
tural bloc, the disbursement of the w.
!124,35l,10S contributed by New York to
the support of the Government may de-
pend on the decisions of the new chair
man of the Finance Committee. whose
State paid In s2.934.S31 for the same
purpose at the same time.
The Progressive Republican Senators
| who have allied themselves with the
agricultural bloc perceive no injustice In
the great disparity indicated by the (to
them) invidious comparison. The for
| tune of political warfare has merely
given into their hands the right to in
woke the seniority rule, which they now
/, regard as an instrument OF almost d.
vine potentialities.
They make no effort to defend Sen
ator McCumber from the attacks leveled
at him because none is needed. The
Senator himself is a most amiable,
earnest and painstaking legislator. He
| has proved to be very good representa-
| tive Of North Dakota. That he repre-
sents a Commonwealth that pays only
six-tenths Of one per cent of the taxes
| his.
| That the character of the legislation
introduced by him has reflected a
parochial respect for local conditions
means that he is looking out for North
| Dakota.
The charges of provincialisrn brought
against him in no wise effect his per-
sonal integrity or general fitness as a
| legislator. Loca. conditions have re-
| stricted his manifest abilities to provin-
oial needs. He is not held to be re-
snonsible for the system which, dictates
selections for cha!rnanships In the
Senate and which In the judgment OF
many Senator'S. thinking men and build
ers of great industries. should be ignored
in the selection of so important an Off
