Vice President of M. 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

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

required in connection with a fed

of the interior may execute and rec

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

irrigation "operations under the act
of June 17, 1902, such as rights of

"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.
