THE COSr OF LIVING

Harper's Weekly summarizes the
results of an interesting investigation
of the Massachusetts, bureau of labor
into the cost Of living in Massachusetts
to-day compared with the cost i'm 1897
and in 1872. The bureau selected at
random l52 families of wOrkngmen
and secured from them their budgets
of The year These were compared with
the budgets of families of about the
same class gathered by the bureau five
years ago aud in 1872, The COMPARE
son shows that in Massachusetts, the
cost of living is lower than thirty years
ago, but higher than in 1897.
The station of the families is shown
10y the rent paid. For the 1872 investi-
gated the average rent was sos q year.
Their food cost them III per cent more
than in 1897 put 20 per cent less than in
1872. They spent Is pei. cent more for
dry goods and shoes than in 1897 and
IL per cent less than in 1872. Rent had
increased 81 per cent in the last five
years, but was still only .02 per cent
greater than thirty years ago. Their
fuel was 10 per cent more expensive
than in 1897, but it cost - per cent less
than in 1872.
1t may be doubted whether the
decrease i'm the cost of living i'm the last
thirty years, indicated by the bureaus
figures, is so great as it seems. The
summary given in Harpers Weekly
fails to take into account the fact that
in 1872 the country was not yet OH gold
basis and consequently prices-measur-
ed in greenbacks-were abnormally
high. The issue of paper currency
in 1862 sent prices soaring and things
were not back ut their normal level
until the RESUMPTION of specie payments
in 1879. In July, 1864, when a paper
dollar was worth less than forty cents
the average price of Il large number of
commodities reported by the monetary
commission of 1898 was about two and
half times as large as in 1860. In 1872
the greenback dollar was worth be-
tween eighty and ninety cents. Prices
were consequently still inflated. A re-
port on the cost Of commodities for
that year that takes no account of the
imitation is unsatisfactory. With allow
ances made for abnormal conditions, it
appears that the cost of living In Mass
achusetts is somewhat less than in 1872,
but not so much less as the figures seem
TO indicate.

was his duty not to take rosy view
Of the case, but to provide for the
worst He had hopes Of a happy re-

Washington, D. c., April 14.--Rep-
resentative Needham, Of Texas, has
introduced a bin in the house to pro-
teet Indian allottees in the control of
thei rallotments. The bill provides
that the control Of the use and prof
is arsng hereunder of all lands
heretofore allotted or that shall here
after be allotted under trust patent
to any indian allotee over the al
1s years be vested n such al,ottee;
but any agreement of lease or rent
affecting such lands executed by an al
lottee for a period exceeding three
years in duration shall be void.
The object of the bill is TO prevent
long term leases, which are now being
made with members of the five OWL
ized tribes in Indian territory. II the
bill becomes a law the Indians win
be restricted to leases not exceeding
three years.

expenditure of the country, quite
apart from the war was greatly in
creasihg, and in view of the outgrow-
ing expenditure for armies and nav
les in other countries, he thought it
desirable to frame some scheme OF
taxation under which, when peace re
turns, there would be no difficulty in
settling the country's finance system
on basis equitable alike to all the
taxpayers Of the country. He was
of the opinion that to repeat by the
Mr.. Lowe of the import duty on wheat
had not realized the expectations
formed at the time Thee effect of a
duty of three pence per hundred
weight on wheat would mean but a
very small fraction Of the increased
price of the loaf and the competition
Of the bakers was so keen that any
one trying to raise the price OF bread
on such ground would probably find
such action not to his advantage. The
chancellor of the exchequer denied
that the registration of duties on
grain and -four violated The principles
OF free trade, or would in the cost OF
food.
He thought the duties had been
recklessly abandoned. and declared
their admission did not reduce the
price OF food. He therefore proposed
nimport duty of three pence per
hundred weight on all grain with a
correlatiye duty of FIVE pence per
/ hundred weight on -four and meal
The total yield of this duty was esti
mated at 2.65O,O00 pounds. bringing
the total estimate OF the revenue from
the new taxation of 5.11O,OOO pounds
lOf the balance OF the deficit the chan
oenor proposed to borrow $4,000. .00I
pounds and 10 find the rest by drafts
on the exchequer He feared tina
the duty on grain would arouse pref
udices strong and deep, and that tn
cry OF taxing the Good Of the peopl
would once more be raised, but h
was convinced that b yone OF othe
qarm indirect taxation could 50 muc
money by any possibility be found
With so little effect on the article o
which it was imposed and with SO II
tie injury to the trade and commerc
of the country.

washington, D. q, April 14.--There
is little probability that the bill Great
ing the territory Of Jefferson win be-
come law during the Fsfty-seventh
congress-. Although reported from the
house committee on territories there
seens to be no way by which Il can
be gotten before the house for con
sideration. 1t is not a privileged ques-
tion. ana Speaker Henderson is op-
posed to the bin. He therefore has It
in his power to prevent its consider
alton, and thus continue Indian ter
.,fitory Indefinitely without any form
81 ioee, geit government
The main question to the creation
OF a territorial form of government
in Indian territory arises from o.
fact that the establishment OF
a government at this time would pave
the wa yfor the creation Of state out
of the territory later on. Even should
the omnibus statehood bill become q
law. creating out Of Oklahoma, Ari
zona and New Mexico, the provision
hterein contained for the ultimate I'M
ion of Oklahoma and Indian territory
would have no binding force or effet
II is the realization of this that Is
causing the leaders of the dominant
party ! nthe house to look upon the
creation Of territorial ofrm of
ernment in Indian territory with sus-
picion They believe that behind this
propositio nlurks the skeleton of
ne wstate- They are unwilling TO take
action now which might pave the way
for the admission Of Indian territory
nito the union as a state. The estab-
lishment OF a separate and independ-
ent territorial form of government In
that territory would be a recognition
Of her rights to a separate and In
dependene government, not only
while passing through the transitory
period. out later Oa when conditions
have sufficiently developed and ma
tured in the territory to enable the
people thereof to come forward and
present valid claims for admission as
a separate and independent state.
While this is undoubtedly the para
mount reason in the minds OF the
leaders Of the dominent party in the
house opposing territorial govern
ment for the Indian territory there
are still other objections to the enact
ment OF such legislation at this time
The establishment OF a territorial
form OF government, the division OF
the territory into counties, the collec
tlon of taxes, both county and munic-
ipal, and the enforcement of other
local laws would indirectly abrogate
many OF the important features of the
existing treaties with the five
ize tribes. These tribal forms of gov
ernment viii become extinct now with.
in the next four years. The Dawes
commission is making rapid progress
in the settlement Of the tribal estates
and the enactment of any law at this
time which would interfere or restrict
the work of the commission. or cause
any friction between the agents Of the
government and the tribes. would only
retard the opening up Of the country
and result in a recurrence OF the bad
feeling which formerly existed among
ne Indians. Those members Of the
house and senate who are familiar
with existing conditions in the terri
tory until the work Of dividing the
Indian estates has been completed
