REDUCTION OF COSTS
Washington, Nov. 18.?Price
studies given out by the department
of labor today showed marked
declines in October in practically all
items entering into the cost of living,
except house furnishings.
Clothing, it was said, had dropped
18 per cent below figures compiled
to represent the 1919 costs, and
farm products 21 pre cent.
In some lines October prices were
still above those of a year ago, but
all were quoted as below September,
1920, figures.
. The index figure of prices for the
month was 225, against 242 in September
and 223 in October, 1919. (

FARMERS' WELFARE
WILL BE WATCHED
Senator Smith and Congressman
Lee Active?Important Legislation
To Be Enacted in
Next Few Months.
Washington, Nov. 18.?Indications
here now are that from the very moment
that the gongs sound in the
L 1 !
iiuuse tutu senate uu uic icamciubling
of congress until the extra session
has passed into history some
time in the summer the eyes of the
agricultural world will center upon
two Southerners?Senator E D Smith
of South Carolina, ranking Democrat
on the senate committee on agriculture,
and Gordon Lee of Georgia,
holding a similar position in the
house.
With the defeat for renomination
of Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma,
which removes him from congress
after March 4, Senator Smith
will become first man or ranking
Democrat on this committee on the
senate side of the capitol. It will
be the South Carolina senator who
will take care of the minority or
Democratic interests as they shall
come up from time to time.
Congressman Lee, who has been in
the house many years, worked his
way up to the position which he now
holds?ranking member on the house
agricultural committee?by years of
hard and faithful work, and just as
Senator Smith will protect the interest
of the Southern people on the
senate side, so will Mr. Lee be on
guard in the house.
One of the big problems that will
face these committees will be the
amendments to present laws providing
that a more liberal credit system
shall be brought about.
Legislation will also be put through
to bring about a scientfic and adequate
marketing system calculated to
stabliize the markets for the farmers
ind at the same time to relieve the
consumer of excessive prices.
The farm loan act will undoubtedly
ae broadened and improved and a
plan of personal credit authorized.
The result of this would be to enible
the man of small means to get
i start in the farming industry, in
live stock raising or in some other
branch of agriculture.
There is no doubt of the fact that
the tariff will be revised to meet the
needs of the farmer and to protect
him against the 'invasion of cheap
wheat from Canada, cheap corn from
Argentina, cheap products from Asia
and other competition which is proving
ruinous to the farming interests
generally. With these three propositions
given attention, consideration
will then be directed in all probahilitv
toward a series of matters of
interests to agriculture, including
better rural schools, good roads and
a number of other matters.
With the population leaving the
farms and drifting to the cities, the
nation is in a'bad way unless'something
can be done to cause more production.
The latter will depend upon
the working out of a comprehensive
marketing system, which will be of
value not alone to the . farmer, but
also to the consumer. Elimination of
the middleman with his profits is the
goal to which attention will be directed.
' While it is likely that efforts will
be made when these matters com,e
up to array city against country, it
is believed that it will be shown
that the interests of both the producer
and the consumer are intimateI
ly connected in these scientific marketing
plans. ^
Another big question will be what
to do with the meat packers and to
determine whether or not they are in
a combine to keep up the prices of
meat products while the cattle grower
maintains that he is receiving
starvation returns for his stuff.
It is probable that many of the defects
which now confront the people
will be overcome when amendments
are offered and passed regarding the
federal reserve system.
At any rate, whatever is done the
' - ?111 o nri*! n 1 _
people win waiui Luc uig u6uvi.,-1
tural committees of the house and
senate.

by Senator William M.

the senate committee on reconstruction,
in a telegram sent tonight to
David F. Houston, secretary of the
treasury. The telegram followed a i
hearing today by th ecommittee on \
the housing situation in this section. (
The telegram sent by senator Cal- /
der follows:
"Bankers and business men
through central and southern sectioni
declare commercial channels
congested with unprecedented crops
of cotton, wheat, animal production
and so forth and financial tension
extreme. Believe this dangerous situation
can be measurably relieved
by employment of war finance corporation
machinery to facilitate for
eign aistriDUiion. ims macninery is
in your hands. Can not too strongly
urge its immediate employment."
Senator Calder, in a statement
made during the concluding session
tonight of the hearing here, declared
that it was necessary to revive the
war finance corporation to prevent
stagnation of business and consequent
unemployment of labor. "We
have a surplus of commodities and
foreign countries have a great need
for it," he said, "but they have no
