United States. Senator 'Hiram V.
Johnson of California charged, in an
address here today, that the demo

and trifled there and has done noth
ing at all" with the high cost of
living problem.
-The speaker declared he knew of
no panacea fp the problem, but that
"Mith the very sufficient power that
is in the administration it is possi
blCsystematicatly and scientifically
' to begin at both ends of the .great
vychain between the ultimate consumer
and original proTncer until we find
out theweak Ijuks find somewhere
between these two points somrthing
to remedy and then the remedy can

Senator Johnson also attacked
what he declared was a "'saturnalia
of expense in the past four years at
Washington," and declared himself
in favor of a national budget system
to prevent appropriations "from be
ing made "in a log-rolling fashion."
"This saturnalia of extravagance
that has been extant and -rampant at
Washington ought to cease." he as
serted. "It tan be made to cease,
and I trust within a few months it
will be required to cease."

Lincoln. April 13. (SpecJal.)
Clarence A. Davis, attorney general
for Nebraska, has prepared an in
teresting resume of the affairs of hjs
department since he assumed
charge, January 9, 1919. He be
lieves that the "department of jus
tice act," which he prepared and
which is now in force, has justified
itself by demonstrating the wisdom
of establishing a complete state legal
department of which the attorney
general shall be the head and in con
trol, and for which he shall be re
sponsible. Under the plai; the different de
partments of the, state government
are forbidden to hire special coun
sel, except upon, the written permis
sion of thevattorney general or the
governor. Mr. Davis explains that a
more or less chaotic condition re
sulted under the old plan of depart
ments engaging special , counsel
"often without the slightest need for
them."
Same Authority Vested.
He notes that the attorney gen
eral's office is now given the same
authority in each couhjty that the
county attorney has and that his of
fice is now charged with advising
county attorneys in regard to crim
inal matters and matters affecting
public revenue. f
"It is cur duty to act as advisory
counsel to every branch and depart
ment of the state government," At
torney Davis adds. "The work in
volved, in handling these matters is
amazing to one unacquainted with i
It) pursuance of these duties we have
pivrn thus far during the biemjium
2,059 formal opinions to .these de
partments and officers." '
$70,000 Appropriation.
kHe states that at the beginning of
this biennium his department was al
lowed an appropriation of $70,000
and that despite the fact that con
siderably more thin one-half of the
term is over, there remains an un-'
erended balance of $50,977.78.
This shows a marked saving de
spite the fact that the office- has
been more than doubled, and despite
the fact that no money has been paid
by other departments for special
counsel. There will be no deficiency
cla-ms this term," Mr. Davis ex
plains. Sonieiof-the particular Jines of
work covered by his department are
enumerated as follows: Public
utilities, professional standards,
fraudulent stock promotion, irrga
tion litigation, prohibition, banking
and insurance, Americanization and
radical activities.
