ABSENT VOTER LAW URGED FOR STATES Republican League Here Will Push Intensive Campaign for Its Adoption. An intensive campaign for the passage of absentee voters' laws in those states not now having laws which permit voting by mail was decided upon at a meeting of the executive ccmmittee of the League of Republi- can State Clubs of the District of Co- lumbia, held Thursday night, in the Quariers of the “epublican national committee in the Munsey building. It is the committee's hope to bring about the early adoption of the absent voters' law before the next natiomal elections, so that the many voters in those states now residing in the Dis- trict may emjoy thé benefits and privi- leges of such a law, as do those who are legal residents of states which al- ready bave adopted them. Twenty-Seven States Hawe Laws. It was reported that twenty-seven states now have such laws, West Vir- ginia being the last state to act. A committee, consisting of William J. Dow of Missouri, Charles M. Shinn of West Virginia. Edgar C. Smyder of Nebraska, Isaac R. Hitt of Illinois and President William Tyler Page of Maryland, was appointed to draft a suitable Jaw and urge state legisla- tures to adopt it. Organising state republican clubs in the District from those states not now organized was considered. The league now has representation from thirty- two states and it is contemplated com- pleting the roster of commoawealths. David J. Evans of Ohio, Edward M. Martin_ and Joseph A. Clement of Massachusetts and W. Grant Lieual- lan of ldaho. were elected to mem- bership. A resolution of sympathy upon the death of A. T. Hert, national repub- lican committeeman from Kentucky, ‘wae adopted, and President Page in- structed to forward it to hia widow and the national committee. New Officers Instalied.

DECLINE IN PRICES 1 OF SHOES FORESEEN (Continued from First Page.) facturers with output in 1919 repre- senting about 62 per cent of the to- tal output shown in the census of 1819, were 16.2 per cent on invest- ll'n’el;l in 1913 and 29.8 per cent in 19. “These large increases in earni of tanners and shoe manufacturers were due primarily to the fact that their selling prices increased out of all proportion to the increases in thelr -costs per unit of pwoduction, resultant enhancement of their mars gina of profit per umit. Earnings of tairty-two typical siwe wholesalers bers averaged about 32 per cent on investment in 1318 and about earmings of my- retailers av ru cent in 1918 and about 3. per cent in 1919. These earnings, like those of tanners and shoe manufac- turers, resulted from wide ns of profit taken on each shoe sol The increased earnings in 1919 were due to the fact that selling prices in- creased by tmter amounts and per- centages than did costs.” MT.
