E. Smith & Co. Says Present Move Is Good Business. N " Sense. . In a letter to the sales force of M. E. Smith & Co., C. W. Russell, vice president of that organization, writes the following letter, telling what effect the special sales which the larger stores throughout the rnnnin. ... .-..!.. 'it J" 11 V III MUUlllllg Will have in brineinc down nrices of mer chandise. "You have undoubtedlv had your attention called to the special sales f that are being conducted throughout tne country at the present time, par ticularly to the 20 per cent discount sale, inaugurated Jby John Wana maker in New York and Philadel phia, and followed quite extensive ly by large department stores in other sections of the country. Spring Has Been Backward 1 "The spring season has been un usually backward and ,the acuteness ot the financial situation hashad a depressing effect upon alP persons engaged . in large business enter prises, as well as upon the public at large. ' "In addition to this unsatisfactory condition, the first announcement of the mills on products offered for the spAug season of 1921, indicated stijl further advances in ..prices, ranging from 20 to 40 per cent. "It, therefore, seems that the pub lic will be confronted ajfain with a further inflation of values that, will bring the price of commodities to the consumer to a "-still higher level. In view of this fact, it seems to all conservative thinking business men that the time has come to call a halt. tTlie public is already incensed at the continuing advance in rents, food- tuffs and clothing, and it would seem to be a dangerous experiment to add another 30 or 40 per cent to the present high cost of living. Movement Is Timely. The movement started by John Wanamaker seems, therefore, to be timely and patriotic and of good business sense. It serves as a no tice to manufacturers and to those in control of the manufacturing in dustries of the country that there is a limit beyond which pricey must not go. It is an effort to stabilize prices and to restore common sense to its accustomed place in busi ness. ' "There is. some danger that the movement may not be entirely suc cessful and that prices for the year 1921 may still continue to climb and to reach a higher level than exists today, but this, in our judg ment, is the ority danger in the sit uation. There is no danger-whatever of a general break in prices or any panic or panicky conditions. The farced sales, throughout the trountry will liquidate stock now on hand, and to that extent w'U rejieve the financial pressure on the banks. H will also clean the shelves of the letail dealers and send them hurry ing to market to replenish their de pleted stocks. "Our hope is-ithat the scramble to replenish stocks will not-be too violent that it .will again st,art prices soaring beyond the presMt level." - ARID IRRIGATION BILL APPROVED BY COMMITTEE Rights of Way Over Public Lands, Are Provided For in Proposed ' Legislation. By E. C. SNYDER.' Washington Corrmpondrnt of The Bee. Washington, May 19. (Special Telegram) Jud$e Kinkaid, as thair man of the committee on the irriga tion offeirid lands, was directed by the conimittee to present a favorable report' on his bill, which provides tha "when a right-of-way or ease ment of any kind over- public land heretofore or hereafter withdrawn uhder 'the act of June 17, 1902, is required in connection with a fed eral irrigation project the secretary of the interior may execute and rec ord in the omce of the recorder of deeds of the county in which the land is located an instrument stating the purpose of the fight of way or easement, with a description of the same and .the patent issued there fore shall be subject to the right of way or easement so described." In a letter to Judge Kinkaid, Sec retary, John Barton Payne of the Interior department gives the reasons-for this legislation. He says: "The act of August 30, 1890, pro vides for right-of-way over public lands for ditches' or canals con structed by the authority of the United State-s, but does not include various rights of way and easements over the public lands which are re quired in connection wth federal irrigation "operations under the act of June 17, 1902, such as rights of way and easements- for necessary roads, telephone, telegraph and transmission lines and similar struc tures and for floatage and seepage easements in connection with res- $44.50 Satisfa6tory Lawn Swings at Bowen's Value Giving Prices , We have them In two sizes four-passenger and child's size.

"It is frequently desired to restore tc entry public lands which have been withdrawn under the first form for irrigation works under the act of June 17, 1902, could we retain the right later to uncertain portions for the purposes above set forth, but at the present time there seems to be no practical way to retain such rights excepting by continuing large areas of lands under withdrawal and thereby preventing all entfy there on." The Sprrpfnrv then siitrppstprl a short form of an amendment which Judge Kinkaid adopted, which pre serves to the United States all need ed rights and at the same time permits-the opening of considerable areas of withdrawn lands to entry without loss to the United States or its irrigation nroiects and with much benefit to entrymen.
