Slashes in Money for Commissions Not

AGAIN PLACED IN BILL
Work of Federal Trade, Interstate and
Tariff Commissions Defended
by Senators
Washington, Feb. 8.-Slashes in ap
propriations for the federal trade
commission, the interstate commerce
f commission and the tariff commis-I
sion totalling $450,000, .which had
been made by the senate appropria
tions comnittee were disapproved to
(lay by the senate and original sums
carried in the sundry civil bill as it
passed the house were restored.
The allotments agreed to were for
the federal trade commission $9,000,
000; the interstate commerce com
mission, $1,900,000 and the tariff nom
mission $300,000. The committee's
proposed (lecreases were $100,000,
$300,000 and $50,000 respectively.
The senate's action followed a vig
*orous defense of the commission by
Senators Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia; Fletcher,' Florida, Walsh,
Montana, Thomas, Colorado and
Jones, New Mexico, Democrats and
Kenyon, Iowa, Republican, Senator
Kenyon declared that the federal
trade commission continually faced
opposition from "big business" as
well as "crooked business."
The Iowa senator saidl he some day
would tell the full story of the 'war
waged against the federal trade com
mission by a certain big industry. He
hesitated to tell it, he saiti, but would
especially since the chamber of com
merce of the United States had de
cided to fight the packers' regulation
bill.
"The federal trade commission has
saved more than it has cost" he said.
"On one purchase of dressing gauze
made by the government during the
war it saved more than a million dol
Jars."
The senatq adopted an amendment
providing for the continuation of
services of chaplains in hospitals un

PRESIDENT WILSON TO TAKE
REST AFTER MARCH .1
Washington, Feb. 7.-President, Wil
son lplans to go into virtual seclusion
for a time after March 4.
Freed from the responsibilities of
office which have weighed heavily
upon him during his convalescence,
Mr. Wilsun, his friends say, will shut
himself in for a period of intensive
rest and quiet in the new home he
has purchased here. IIe will (eny
himself to all callers except immedi
ate members of his family, it is said,
and a very fe wintimate friends with
whom throughout his illness he has
kept in contact.
No formal engagements of any char
acter are expected to be made by the
President until he shall have thor
oughly adjusted himself to priavte life
after some ten years in public service.
Even the writing which he has
planned to do upon retirement from
the White House will be postponed
for several months, his friends say.
Mr. Wilson is understood to have
declined a number of invitations to
spend part of the summer out of
Washington, but because of his de
light with the pleasant weather here
last summer, the first which -he spent
in this city, it is regarded as unlikely
that he will accept any of these in
vitations.
For possibly six months, friends of
the President believe, his life will he
wholly taken up wvith recreation. II is
chief diversion since his illness has
been .reading. lIe is sa id to have
practically exhausted the field of deC
tective stories, of which he has alI
ways been especially fond, and more
recently has taken up novels and light
stories, lie also has given some time
to readlinjg p)oetry.
Sinlce his resumption last week of
his old1 custom of attendling the thea
ter, the presidlent is expetedl to con
tinue as his health impjroves to findo
occasion more and mo re to avail
himself of this foi-m of recreation.
PROIIlIlITION FORCIC
HAS BEEN VERY BUSY
Greenville, Feb. 7.-Rf. Q. Merrick,
chief prohibition enforcement oflic'r
in South Carolina, in a repiort made
public here today dlelared theat a
total of $1 ,368,977 in fines ,taxes and
assessments were collected and paid
into the treasury of the United States
as proceeds of the wvork of his force
of 1G men.
Tlhe total cost to the governrment
of operating the force in South Cart>
lina, was $49,000 for thme year. 1920,
wvhich periodl is covered by the report.
A totoal of 3,929 gallons of whiskey
wvas caipturedo andl destroyedl, 837 pris
oners arrested anad 46 automobiles
andl ten other vehicles and including
ten horses and mules were confiscat
edl andl sold. Tfhe value of property
dlestroyedl came to $660,512. T(his was
accomplished without the loss of a
single IifCe, the repiort statedl. In
prsen ti ng the figures wvhich were
compiled by the trenasury depa rtmentI,
Mr.. Hlerrick declared that prohihi
tion enforcement in this state was not
only a success from r moral standl
point, but that it was actually bring
ing a rvenue into the treasury
which, while it was not as large a.
the revenue formerly dlerivedl from th
legitimate sale of licquor', was, nev
ertheless, relieving the honest tax
payers from a cnsidralenn buren.

SUMMERTON NOT[S
FROM "NUB'S" PEN
For several weeks we have been ex
'ressing our own opinion as to whit
ve have been through with and what'
we are promising ourselves in the fu
ure, but having about run down so
ar as we are eoncerned and nothine
o wind us up with except a few debts
ere and yonder and we certainly do
ot want them turned on just at this
'articular time. Hence for the bene
it of our readers we are giving them
he opinion of a few of our good citi- t
ens and we expect to keep this up I
or several weeks. Several have <
Iready promised us letter's next week.
lion. C. M. Davis, one among our
blest and honored citizens says:
Times are not as hard as the gen- '
ral cry puts them, for the reason
hat food stuff and clothing is still
'lenitiful. What'makes it appear to be
,rd times comes out of the fact that
fter several years of high prices both
elling and buying, then a tremendous -1
rop im commodities put on the mar- N
et with some reduction in what we j
*uy all of which brought about a i
careity of money. The remedy is for I
verybody to keep their shoulders to I
he wheel and push forward, especially i
3 this true with the agricultural de- t
lent making lots of food stuffs and
ot putting their whole time and ener
Jes in one crop, cotton and try to I
lake a living and not get rich. If
uch things are followed up we shall
oon1 have a prosperous country and a
appy people and all the unrest of to
ay will be forgotten."
