W'ASHINGTON.

ThiA at least, is the tmpreselon given at the department where dues ttona In regard to the rumored abi

made on the point Is that by Howard U Figg. asBiatant attorney-general. In charge of the campaign, who told a Senate investigating committee yesterday that the cbnsmlttee expected to bring its work to a climax In within from thirty to sixty days. He said the climax of the campaign would be the prosecution of the profiteers, against whom evidence has bees obtained In the months of investigating

that has been going on.

H. C. ef L. Oaaapalgn Predlettea. Several days ago. the Phitadetphta ruhltc Ledger printed a story under a Washington dais that ths campaign againat the high cost of living was to he abandoned; that Mr. Flgg was to resign, that his organisation m'ss to bv disrupted: that fair price comittlselons throughout the country were to he disbanded and the work In this connection had begun with the disruption of the f.'hlOMro office of the department of Justice, which had been oampatgnittg against the high cost of

living.

The Ledger declared. In substantiation of Its story, that the departmeat of Justice was more than It.OfiO.999 In arrears on Its estimates for this fiscal year and that It faced the prospect or making up this sum by July I or of asking a deficiency appropriation to make up the amount. The Ledger dsetared on authority of rhalrman Good, of the houee appropriations committee, that no addlTloiMtl appropriations Had hsen aaked hy the apartment to carry on the campaign against the high cost of

Uving after unly 1. I>eaied By ladlvMsuila.

This story was denied hy Individuals connected with the department and it Is declared that a formal denial was prepared aad presented to Attorney-General Palmer, who advised that Instead of issuing a danlah his asitstanis should find out where the leak was In ths department ef

JttStiOS.

From all these things, ths eonolue on hsre is that the campatgn i« to I abaitdonefi and that the fair price eommtsetotts will be dtsbaaded. but no offloial confirmation of this eoneiusion can be obtained from tho de-

SUBMIT DATA ON LOWER WABASH RIVER SITUATION.

DAMAGE REVIEWS SET OUT

Vhe lediKiapelHi News Bsreea, S3 BraM fialidlBK. WASHINGTON, April 20.—The bill, of Representative Luhring, of Indiana, for a flood survey of the lower Wabash river, looking eventually to government protection for the land owners along the Wabash, has been ordered favorably reported^ by the house committee on flood control after a hearing yesterday in which a number of Indiana men took part. The Indiamans came to the hearing armed with accurate data to sustain their contention that it is a matter the government should take up and that relief should be on a broad scale. The visitors were introduced to the committee by Representative Luhring. Morton C. Embree, of Princeton, who spoke first, represented holders of iS.OOO acres of land. He had written to a large number of land owners and submitted impressive data from their replies in regard to the amount of flood damage in recent years. He traced the record of high waters in that part of Indiana since 1875. George C- Taylor, of New Harmony, spoke for the "White County (111.) Illinois Levee Association, and owners of 27.000 acre of land He showed the losses they have sustained and how they had been forced to take steps to protect their land. Judge John \V. Spencer, of Evansville. spoke for the owners of 60,000 acres of land in Posey county. As an Sample of the damages done by the floods in that region he pointed out that In 1918 the farmers lost their entire corn crops. The food menace has become so great in recent years, he said, that the farmers have been forced to raise only one crop, coi*n. and as a result of lack of crop rotation the land is losing its fertility.. Prank O. Fitton. of Indianapolis, another land owner, spoke along similar lines. The speakers agreed that the area affected by the Wabash floods embraces about 150,000 acres. Colonel Harry Taylor, of the w-ar department bureau of engineers, expressed the opinion that flood control of the Wabash by the government was entirely feasible. AGREE ON SALES TAX. HoMe Reyoblieax Leaders Favor Plax for Soldier Bosos. WASHINGTON. April 20.—House Republican leaders 4entatively agreed yesterday to raise money for soldier relief by a gross sales tax of not more than I per cent. Under this plan, which It was decided to present to the houso about May 1, the money payments would be in quarterly Instalments beginning January 1, 1921. Vigorous opposition to the gross fales tax already has been expressed by some Democrats and leading Republicans and a bitter fight on this section of the bill is forecast. Besides proposing adjusted compensation at the rate of fl a day for service men and women, the legislation will Include alternate offers of land settlements, home building aid and extension of vocational training. The general outline of the bill was agreed on at a conference between members of the house steering committee and Republican leaders of the ways and means committee. Sent to Duty at JoffovaoBvlllo.

Turn AttentJoa to Matter. [Special to The Indlanspolit News}

LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 20.—Addressing an audience of local voters last evening, Edward C. Toner, of Anderson, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, said that the state board of agriculture should do something more than arrange an-

nual state fairs.

"At this moment,’* he said, "there is an alarming increase in farm tenantry. As the price of land increase.^ It becomes more difficult for the tenant to get a piece of land for himself, and we have a situation of big farms growing bigger and farm tenantry multiplying. There is a problem Involved in this condition that demands immediate attention. 1 believe the state board of agriculture should give attention to this, with the view of encouraging and helping farm tenants to own farms. A section le many times better off with a hundred small Mrms owned by the men that till them than with fifty large farms owned by men who live In town." "’What ha# become one of the main issues In this campaign, Ik whether a man In moderate circumstances, or a poor man, may aspire to high ptace." He said he regarded his candidacy, in a large measure, as

a test of that issue.

Mr. Toner advocated that the state encourage and help men to own their own homes. Every home owner, he said, Is a new buttress against bolshevism. He pleaded for a new program of social and industrial and educational justice, saying that it should include better housing conditions, better working conditions, limited hours of labor for women In Industry, prohibition of child labor, and larger support of our public schools. The work of tha public schools, ho said, should Include physical supervision for children. Teachers, he said, should receive higher salaries.
