Bender (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, May 5.-The most vital week of war preparation against Ger- many by congress begins Monday. During the week in both house and senate measures of tremendous im- portance to the nation will be launche either for final action or preliminary discussion. Congress will report out the selec- tive conscription army bill. The sen- ate agricultural committee will take up the Lever food control bill intro- duced in the house this week. The house ways and means committee will report out the revenue bill raising $1,- 600,000,000 by taxation. The senate finance committee will begin consid. eration of this taxation bill. The new shipping bill empowering President Wilson to take over shipyards and materials for constructing vessels will be introduced. To Amend Control Bill Perhaps the most important of these measures is the food control bill upon which the, senate agricultural commit- tee will attempt to reach some defi- nite conclusion. It is intended to amend the bill in some details, but to be ready for prompt action on it when it comes to the senate from the house. There is every indication the senate committee will not report the bill un- til the house has acted on the Lever measure. "This bill is the most powerful measure ever introduced in congress," Senator Kenyon, member of the com- mittee, said today. "In importance it ranks second only to the Declaration of Independence." The committee will begin work on the Lever bill Monday, and will have many experts before it to testify as to the proper machinery for putting the measure into effect. It is certain to develop prolonged debate. To Discuss House Bill On Monday also the senate finance committee will take up the house taxa- tion bill. A committee for the first time under such conditions will meet as ~A bi-partisan body, both Republi- cans and Democrats conferring to- gether on all details of the measure. Hearings will begin * Tuesday or Wednesday and all those industries and persons who are affected will be allowed a voice before the committee. BOOKS WOTH REAING REDUCING THE COST OF LIVING,' by Dr. Scott Nearing. Why have prices gone up? Is there' any promise for a reduction in the' future? What can we do about it? These are some of the questions an- swered by Scott Nearing in his book entitled, "Reducing the Cost of Liv- ing." The author says that the prob- lem of the increasing cost of living has become so important that the political parties have made it a funda- mental issue. The Democratic party has insisted that, by reducing the tariff and by curbing the trusts, the1 cost of living would be lowered. Is1 their theory correct? Have their rem-' edies proved themselves effective? Since the standards of living vary1 with the cifferent groups of people, all classes have been affected by in- ventions and discoveries. These .have caused us to pass from home indus- tries to factory industries, and have called us away from simple village life to the complex life in the cities.a In these larger centers there is anj increased dependence upon the serv- ices of others and an increase in the numbr and variety of luxuries. Except in rare cases, the rise in' prices is not the fault of individuals or groups of individuals. It is rather Dhows at 3.00; 6:3a; S:00; 9:30 150 Unless Otherwise Specaified Phone 1564.

Agricultural pro- ducts have risen in price because of the increase in value of land.tb There are many causes attributed to the high cost of living. Are there any remedies? What can the people do? We must reduce our wants to meet our incomes. Society must return to the land and become producers. We must learn to buy more intelligently and to use our purchases to the great- est possible advantage. Producer and consumer must co-operate to reduce the intermediate profits. We must conserve our soil fertility, mining resources, and water power. We must augment the producing power by vocational training in schools. All forms of monopoly should be removed from the hands of individuals and placed in the hands of society. Taxa- tion must be based on the assumption that each man has a right to all he earns and to nothing more. Dr. Nearing's book is a masterful treatment of the problems that are now facing us. Our present military situation lends added weight to his work. Rent a good Kodak for 10c today of Lyndon. Open Sunday from 9:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 4:30 only.
