in TWELVE YEARS
Largest Price Declines In
Clothing and Food Prices,
According to National In
dustrial Conference Board

New York City (ILNS)-Since 1913

than in 1928, an advance summary of
the report says. At the end of 1880

corded during the past IL years, be-
ing at exactly the same point as in
June, 1918. From December. 1880. to
April, 1881, the index dropped 4.8 per
cent, and in April it was 11.8 per
cent lower than in 1923, the newly
adopted base index year used for the
first time by the conference board in
preparing the report.
The largest price declines in 1880,
as compared with 1929 and 1928, were
noted in clothing and food prices. The
decline in clothing prices was some
what larger than that in food prices.
Rents, the report says, as whole
were 2.7 per cent lower in 1880 than
in 1929, and As per cent lower than
in 1928.
The cost of fuel and light as whole
showed less change last year than any
other major item, the report declares.
the decline between 1929 and 1890
averaging only 0.5 per cent, and that
between 1923 and 1880 / per cent,
Compared with 1923, however, accord
ing to the report, the cost of fuel and
light in 1880 was II per cent lower.
The report says that the cost of
sundries did not change materially in
1880. Among them are physicians
fees. drugs, tobacco, candy, newspa-
pers and magazines, household fur
nishings, car fares, amusement and
organization dues. The largest de-
cline was found in tobacco prices.
The purchasing value of the dollar
at the end of 1880, based on the con-
ference boards cost of living figures,
was 108 cents, compared with 10O
cents in 1928.

WHAT NEXT?

High state taxes on cigarettes,
amounting in some cases to 20 per
cent, have brought about the produc-
ton of cigarette roller which sells
for less than a dollar and produces
from 80 to 40 cigarettes with 10 cents
worth of tobacco. Cigarette papers
and tin box to carry the cigarettes
are included in the outfit.

state prison curing the last year OF the term OF OOV
ernor Philips? Certainly they did not consider the
money gift to the state: There was reason. What
were they given in consideration of this big loan?
What did they expect to get out of it? These per-
tinent questions.
No explanation Of the loan was ever made to the
people Of Arizona by the previous governor any Of
his spokesmen. No effort made to take the
electors of the state into the confidence of the ad
rninistration on the matter
No relief bill to compensate anyone for this $780,,
10000 introduced into the Tenth state legislature
It was freely stated, however, that had Governor
Hunt been defeated in the election, claim for rei
bursenent of the amount would have been presented
to the state legislature
Here is something really worth while for the in
vestgating committee to check into and report their
findings to the people Of Arizona. It would make in
teresting reading.
The answer to the questions, who advanced this
money to the previous administration; why did they
do it. and why did they rot subsequently ask for re
inbursement would make of the most interesting
political stories that has been revealed in Ari
ZOna.
Will this "Non-partisan" investigating commit
tee give the electors Of Arizona the inside facts of this
situation?

THE TOYS
By Coventry Patmore

By Coventry Patmore
NV little Son, who looked from
thoughtful eyes,
And moved and spoke in quiet
grown-up wise,
Having my law the seventh time
disobeyed,
| struck him, and dismissed
With hard words and unkissed,
His Mother, who was patient, be-
ing dead. :,
Then, fearing lest his grief should
hinder sleep,
/ visited his bed,
But found him slumbering deep.
With darkened eyelids, and their
lashes yet
From his late sobbing wet
And |, with moan,
Kissing away his tears, left orncrs
of my own;
For. on a table drawn beside his
head,
He had put, within his reach,
A box of counters and red-veined
A piece of glass abraded by the
beach,
And six or seven shells,
A bottle with bluebells,
And two French copper CONS,
ranged there with careful art,
To comfort his sad heart.
So when that night | prayed
To God, | wept, and said:
All. when at last we lie with tranced
breath,
Not vexing Thee in death,
And thou rememberest of, what toys
We made our joys.
How weakly understood
Thy great commanded good,
Then, fatherly not less
Than I whom Thou has moulded
from the clay,
Thou'lt leave Thy wrath, and say,
81 will be sorry for their childish
ness"

A Observation-Disclosures
The Mystery Fund

Wednesday s Arizona Republic OF Phoenix carried
a large advertisement made up of comment of var
iOus Arizona papers on items of expense of the office
of Governor Hunt.
The advertisement was inserted by coterie of
small try politicians with headquarters IN Phoenix
who have been making considerable ado concerning
expense items Of the governors office.
These politicians principally Republicans-have
gone over the governors expense accounts and the
operating and salary expenditures of the executive
office with microscope. They have pointed out ex
penditures which they have claimed were unjustified
CT excessive.
It is all Sc and 1Oc stuff All the items with
which they could find any criticism, totaed rather
Insignificant sum.
The operations of the fishing expedition were
conspired and financed by disgrunted Republican
politicians and former office holders Of Phoenix The
net result Of their angling up to date has been few
doubtful minnows. The hoped for whale was not
hooked.
The piscatory efforts of the Republican fisher
men were confined exclusively to the waters Of the
Democratic administration
Had this organization been really non-political
as they claimed to be, and had it been inspired by
desire to uncover and expose irregularities in the
conduct of public offices Institutions as they rep
resent they could have landed some real leviathans
in the waters of the Republican administration re
Gently ended
For example, the unexplained private financing
OF the Arizona State Prison, during the last admin
straton, would offer great lure for bipartisan
fisherman.
The state examiner recently completed an audit
OF the prison. It is amazing document It abounds
IN startling revelations of Irregularities
However, the transaction which compels great
est attention is that covering the loan of $780, COL
to the state prison fund by private interests Of Ar
IONA.
Where this big fund came from, why is was ad-
vanced and the reasons irnpelling the persons who
loaned it not to claim restitution by the legislature
constitute OF the most interesting although I'm
written chapters IL the history Of government in Ari-
zOna.
Much was heard Of this mystery fund during
the last campaign.
Missing records Of the state prison prevented an
absolute check Oh the fund by the state examiner
and his assistants. Enough records remain to show
that funds amounting to a total of $50 100000 had
been deposited il al Arizona bank to the credit of
the prison fund. Who deposited the money was not
indicated. It was shown that the money was checked
cut for expense and salary accounts Of the prison by
ordinary bank checks. The state treasury had no re-
cord Of the funds Neither were the bills paid through
the ordinary procedure of claims and warrants
through the office Of the state auditor The money
was put up, it was spent and that was the end Of it.
Ii was not state money was it appropriated by
the Arizona legislature for the maintenance Of in
stitutions.
The question naturally arises why did private
interests subscribe 00000O for the operation o the

GRANT TO DISCUSS
PARKWAY Project
Northern Virginia Problems
Will Be Studied Tonight
in Arlington.
~ stan Correspondent Of The star.

BY a stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ARLINGTON, Va, September 25.-A
solution of the problems facing proper
development of Northern Virginia will
be discussed at a dinner that will be
held tonight, at the Army and Navy
Country Club, by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant
Sd, executive officer of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission.
The list of guests contains the names
of many officials and others who are
interested in the Northern Virginia sec
ton.
Two things are to be discussed. One
is the planning problem and the other
is the Virginia part of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway project.
In connection with the former there
will be an attempt made to find out
just what the people of Northern Vir-
ginia want. Officials of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
are aware of the fact that the people of
Virginia resent any interference by the
Federal Government in the adninistra-
ton of their affairs it was said, and are
not attempting to interfere, but rather
to offer their assistance in the orderly
development of the section.
The Ball planning and coming act,
which was passed by the last Virginia

become effective through loss of rati-
cation by the several jurisdictions af-
fected, will be discussed and an effort
made to see whether it may be made
workable through amendment
The commission desires to get some
thing started in Virginia'S portion of
the George Washington Memorial Park
way and Col. Grant believes that the
best way of accomplishing this is for
the Virginia and Federal officials to at
tempt an understanding.

POLICE STATE MARI
KILLING ACCIDENT
Prince Georges Officials
Probe Confirms Conclusion
of Sheriff's Office.
By a stan Correspondent of The star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, September
,25.-The investigation by Prince Georges
County police into the shooting of Alem
K. Mari is leading to the same con-
clusion as was reached by the sheriff S
offlce-that the man was killed acct
dentally by children playing With a
shotgun-it was learned today.
The police started their investigation
at the request of States Attorney Alan
Bowie after a coroner's jury had re-
jected this theory and returned verdict
that the man was shot by persons other
than the children of George Mckenzie,
caretaker of the Glebe Gun Club, in
whose house the body was found.
Police yesterday traced the mans
movements from the time he left MARI
boro Friday morning until he reached
McKinzie's home that afternoon. He
was shot early the next morning.
Joseph McKinzie, who is about years
cid, demonstrated his ability to break
and load heavy shotgun several times
yesterday at the request OF police. The
officers say he described the shooting to
them yesterday.
Although admitting their probe
pointed to the same conclusion reached
by the sheriff's Office, police are not yet
willing to close the case and will con-
tinue their investigation today. They
plan to question a schoolboy from
